WTM Auto Switch v0012,
0miner v0002,
1bash v0004

Support simple and auto switching for NiceHash Algos
Thanks to Rumo and CryptAtomeTrader44

NiceHash Algos

Code:

NICE_NEOSCRYPT NICE_LYRA2REV2 NICE_X11GOST NICE_SKUNKHASH NICE_CRYPTONIGHT NICE_ETHASH NICE_EQUIHASH

You can either use wtm auto switch or simple mining to use new nicehash algos

Add new Nice_Algos to coin selection of wtm to use auto switch:

Code:

WTM_AUTO_SWITCH_COINS="ZEC;ZEN;ETH;BTG;FTC;NICE_NEOSCRYPT;NICE_LYRA2REV2;NICE_X11GOST;NICE_SKUNKHASH;NICE_CRYPTONIGHT;NICE_ETHASH;NICE_EQUIHASH"

Or chose normal mining

Code:

COIN="NICE_EQUIHASH"

How to update:

Code:

cd /home/m1/Downloads
wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/8zdot94t40anlal/wtm_nice_update.sh
bash wtm_nice_update.sh

Update script will edit and add additional options to 1bash (will not replace your 1bash),
Nicehash new settings and Algo Specific OC will be added to end of your 1bash

New 0miner, 8wtm_auto_switch and WTM_SWITCHER will be replaced with new ones.

Backup/copy of your old files will be added to /home/m1/Downloads/wtm_nicehash_update/backups/
in case you want go back just copy them to /home/m1/

great job, papampi...

But, I thing that WTM is not fine for NH. I tested week ago. One rig mine on NH, second on WTM. Via NH earned more

On WTM aren't present other algos which NH know, so actually WTM for 1x 1080Ti say:
 - mine NH Lyra2rev2


nut NH say (https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/nvidia-gtx-1080-ti?e=0.18&currency=USD):
 - 1080Ti has the best profitable algo Nist5

So, WTM is great service, but results aren't exact :-(

I sometimes use NH, but all rigs switch manually to the best algo depends on used GPUs.

Do you mean that the provided by WTM for nicehash are inaccurate?

You seem to add that it is the most profitable algo nist5 at the moment, can you give examples?

NB: I actually thought that this algo is very popular looking for a pool for VIVO since no one answered me to find the best ,, I ended up choosing myself on bulwarkpool.com.Et precisely on this pool, the nist5 is very high for mining BWK

Hello,
I built a very crude SRR circuitry for a Raspberry Pi to remotely reset a rig or switch it on/off (The raspberry Pi basically controls an optocoupler connected to the reset and poweron pins of the mobo).
For the moment the Raspberry Pi just detect if port 22 is open on the rig. If not, it assumes that the rig is not reachable by SSH and reset the rig.

I see that there is an SRR scrips on nvOC, that looks much more sophisticated than what I am doing. Unfortunately there is no mention of the watchdog software to run on the Raspberry Pi.
Anyone can give me a pointer to the software to run on the Raspberry Pi.

Cheers

I have some code to share with you but the site is blocking my input.
Trying to contact with an admin about.

Thanks :-) Maybe you can post a link outside this forum

Ok, have a look at this and see if can help:

I don't use Nvoc's temp control.

Here the latest version of script (removed reset bit and add var to use/not to use telegram alerts. I did not test the telegram bit so be aware):
https://pastebin.com/mcqmt9CF

It is possible to add code to nvoc's temp control (or wdog) and reset/poweroff/on the rig from a raspberry pi.
I just look forward to have a well configured rig and make it work stable instead of using wdog.
I do not trust wdog not because of the coders/scripts but because of so many gpus and drivers (from time to time they change the output of error codes, etc).

[CryptAtomeTrader44]

To add GoByte(GBX) (Neoscrypt) to the selection of cryptocurrency in 1bash script file and therefore also in the WTM switch:

1 / Find TZC Variables in 1bash file (just below the VIVO variables, you will copy / paste as a template Under TZC lines):

Code:

# GoByte(GBX)
# ## No Need to add add stratum+tcp:// to server address
GBX_WORKER="$WORKERNAME"
GBX_ADDRESS="GBX_Wallet_Address"		# Donwnload GOBYTE Wallet and Blockchain to obtain and address
GBX_POOL="pool.unimining.net" 	 		# 0.5% pool fee
GBX_PORT="4236"
GBX_INTENSITY="17"

Add this below to the 0miner script file (in the same way below the command to launch the TZC ccminer (and you can copy TZC but be careful to replace TZC_ by GBX_ in the whole command):

Code:

if [ $COIN == "GBX" ]
		 then 
			HCD='/home/m1/KTccminer/ccminer'
			ADDR="$GBX_ADDRESS.$GBX_WORKER"
			screen -dmSL miner $HCD -a neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://$GBX_POOL:$GBX_PORT -u $ADDR -p c=GBX -i $GBX_INTENSITY
	fi

Don't mine directly to Cryptopia Wallet Address because if Maintenance on GBX Blockchain, cryptopia will be slow to reput online a wallet, and you risk to mine in the void for all  the time cryptopia GBX wallet would be offline.

To consult your pool balance :
https://www.unimining.net/?address=GBX_Wallet Address

You can mine GBX on other pools :
http://www.zpool.ca/site/mining => 2% pool fee
http://pool.hashrefinery.com/ => 1.25% pool fee
http://yiimp.eu/site/mining => 2% fee
https://altminer.net/ => 0.9% fee
https://bilbotel.fr/ => 0.5% but looks have very few miners and hash power
https://us1.gobyte.network/ =>0,5% fee only 12 miners active at this time !
https://asia1.gobyte.network/ => difficulty to join it from europe where i live.

More pools on their webpage, I do not have all consulted :
 https://www.gobyte.network/#!

Happy Mining

Add it in WTM_AUTO_SWITCH_COINS list in 1bash
Restart your miner process in ssh console by this commands or reboot your rig :
./nvOC stop
./nvOC start (it will reboot your rig)

EDIT 05-01-18 18h42 : It seems unimining have some problem with their neoscrypt pools and GBX looks offline ...I désactivate it for the moment, but you can try other pools and give us your REX here.

EDIt 2 : It seems altminer.net permit mining GBX correctly. Not the pool with lowst fee but seems stable and operationnal for me.

I have been wanting to give this a try.

If I can throw together a rig with 1060s on a biostar TB85, what version of NVOC should I use?

It is not clear whether the official version 19-1.4 or one of the community versions.

Any current recommendations on usb 3.0 flash drives?  I have a 64GB drive that runs hot.

Hello!
I would like to try altcoin mine with an automatic translation into the BTC. Which way is better?
ZPOOL, MPH or NiceHash?

If everything is clear with nacehash, but on the other(ZPOOL, MPH) can I switch with WTM_auto_switch ?

[CryptAtomeTrader44]

I have been wanting to give this a try.

I think you can try without any problems.

If I can throw together a rig with 1060s on a biostar TB85, what version of NVOC should I use?

Use nvOC v0019-2.0 from community release. Find link to download it from mega in 2 or 5 previous pages on this thread.

It is not clear whether the official version 19-1.4 or one of the community versions.

Fullzero, first dev of this distrib, seems very occupied with his personnel life, so papampi, leenoox, stubo and other coders don't stay inactives.

Any current recommendations on usb 3.0 flash drives?  I have a 64GB drive that runs hot.

If you reread the thread a few pages back, you will see that many people advise to use a USB key only for testing and then to make an image directly on an SSD.

Personally I used a Kingston Travelstar USB 3.0 32 GB USB key for several months before putting a notebook HDD classic disk in a USB 3.0 box bought on aliexpress. And everything works wonderfully on that side

For your information, I use a Biostar TB250 Pro BTC

ZPOOL, MPH or NiceHash?

If you choose nicehash, you will undermine by algo.

If you choose Zpool, you can mine by ALGO, but also by individual crypto.

On MPH, you can choose on their web page to which crypto you want to be paid.

On the other hand, it seems to me that Zpool takes a fee of 2%, nicehash 3% and MPH 0.9%

As far as I am concerned, "I eat all the racks", that is to say that I do not hang on a single pool. It's more complicated to manage and check, but you'll find it quickly if you want to trade to sell your coins at the best time and price.

I want to use nicehash in the nvos, just papppi added them in the last build. But the commission is high 5%.

Can I switch the algo on Zpool with WTM_auto_switch ?

There is a dirty workaround to do that
You can set the coins information available in zpool in your 1bash to zpool and add them to auto switch coins, this way it will check with wtm and mine them on zpool for you.

Hi kk003,

This is awsome!! I will modify the code according the my setup.
As far as I can see from a quick look at the the code, the script assumes a rig is frozen if it doesn't respond to pings. Is it correct?
In the past I had rigs that were clearly frozen, but were still responding to pings. That is why, instead of pinging I check if the SSH port is open on the rig using netcat:

Code:

nc -z -v -w5 $rigIP 22

(w5 is a timeout of 5 seconds)

Thanks again :-)

Since we are on RPi talks ...
How many rigs can be monitored and reboot/reset/hard reboot with one RPi?
What are the hardwares needed for multiple rig control?

I'm not much of a hardware guy but love to make a rig controller with RPi if its not too hard.

The script checks that temp room is too high, if so turnoff the rig, then wait 120 seconds and ping the rig again (it should be power off by now).
I agreed with you some times the ping is not enough to make sure that the rig is on/off. I should add the bit with netcat as a double check.
Thx.

   For those people who are considering to use a RPi as a controller, just remember it does use a micro sd and I did burn up two 64 gig
playing around with them. They work wonderful and you can do a lot with them but when the max write limit is hit, bye bye. Both my
Pie's are on the shelf with me wondering what to do with them.

I was having some issues this week with some pools and decide to rewrite the code for pool check in watchdog, it was supposed to be in v19-2.0 but we let it slide for that time.

It works almost same as network check but instead of checking for network it checks for pool and wait if its unreachable to prevent miner restart and eventually rig restarts.
Then After I wrote it I thought why wait and waste time when we can switch to an alternate pool
So I rewrite it again to add an alternate pool in 1bash whether its supported by the miner or not.
What left to do is to check the first pool and switch back as soon as it becomes available.


So here is my question:
How important it is for you guys to have an alternate pool?
And how important it is to switch back to main pool?


I'm asking this because I wrote the code for myself and to make it work with rest of miners and coins it needs more changes so I don't want to work on something not so useful
