[OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining

[papampi]

Hello everyone.

I want just to say thanks to anyone who makes our lives easier with this great distro...

I noticed a problem/bug with the community build. it was working great on ast Fullzero release 1.4 and i'm talking about wi-fi networking. Yes i'm using one rig with wi fi for obvious resons, and it was working great (tp-link 722n - chipset rtl8801eu), but since i made the update to community build the wi fi after every restart just hangs, stops working. usb stick isnt recognized. if i take it out of usb and reconnect everything starts working.


any idea what could be or what to do. can anyone take a look. maybe some boot priority for usb drivers?


thx

Can you check and see if vbrick solution for his mouse works for you too or not ?

Hello just to inform you that the solution for usb mouse worked with usb wifi too. now everything works much smoother.

i  have a question.

Is there any way to mine BWK (bulwark) with nvoc?
thx

yes i think you can if refer from the help from KTccminer :

Bulwark is nist5 algo.

I think you can try to adapt this :

In 1bash : (replace ORB by BWK)

Code:

#ORB ### No Need to add add stratum+tcp:// to server address
ORB_WORKER="$WORKERNAME"
ORB_ADDRESS="Your Wallet address"
ORB_POOL="bulwarkpool.com" #0.5%
ORB_PORT="3833"
ORB_INTENSITY="16"

In 0miner (if you use WTM_SWITCH) :
Copy this from ORB in 1bash
    if [ $COIN == "ORB" ]
       then
  HCD='/home/m1/KTccminer/ccminer'
  ADDR="$ORB_ADDRESS.$ORB_WORKER"
  screen -dmSL miner $HCD -a neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://$ORB_POOL:$ORB_PORT -u $ADDR -p $MINER_PWD -i $ORB_INTENSITY
fi

by this (replace appropriates values)

    if [ $COIN == "ORB" ]
       then
  HCD='/home/m1/KTccminer/ccminer'
  ADDR="$ORB_ADDRESS.$ORB_WORKER"
  screen -dmSL miner $HCD -a nist5-o stratum+tcp://$ORB_POOL:$ORB_PORT -u $ADDR -p c=BWK -i $ORB_INTENSITY
fi

in 3main copy (if you want to mine bulwark only, not auto-switch)

if [ $COIN == "ORB" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/KTccminer/ccminer'
ADDR="$ORB_ADDRESS.$ORB_WORKER"

screen -dmSL miner $HCD -a neoscrypt -o $ORB_POOL -u $ADDR -p x -i $ORB_INTENSITY

if [ $LOCALorREMOTE == "LOCAL" ]
then
screen -r miner
fi

while true; do
sleep 45
done
fi

By replacing appropriates values ORB==> BWK :

if [ $COIN == "ORB" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/KTccminer/ccminer'
ADDR="$ORB_ADDRESS.$ORB_WORKER"

screen -dmSL miner $HCD -a nist5 -o $ORB_POOL -u $ADDR -p c=BWK -i $ORB_INTENSITY

if [ $LOCALorREMOTE == "LOCAL" ]
then
screen -r miner
fi

while true; do
sleep 45
done
fi

Before launching 3main, it is advisable to test command like above but in replacing manually your values provided in 1bash for pool, port, wallet, worker ... like this (my TZC neoscrypt command) :
/home/m1/KTccminer/ccminer -a neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool.unimining.net:4237 -u TtpFnwJ9YnpMazertyuiopnuy2HkQH6jLe3.MYWORKERER44 -p c=TZC -i 16

@CryptAtomeTrader44
There is no miner config lines in 3main of v0019-2.0 and no 0miner in earlier versions ... seems you mix them together ...

one more thing how i disable autostart mining? i want to make some change and the script dont stop to pop up!

really thank for this distro.!

Ok. Its done.

Hey Everyone! I'm having an issue getting the latest version to work. I had v0018 working for a while now and tried to flash v0019-1.4 and run it. I keep getting a grub error: `attempt to read or write outside of disk 'hd0'` when the system boots. I've tried to re-download and re-flash. I would go back to v0018, but I can't find the download link. Please help?

Better update to v19 or best choice 19.2
can't see v18 download link around neither.

Try this
If you are on windows use disk management and remove all partitions of your SSD, then format it to one single new partition , ntfs, fat or any ...
If on Ubuntu use gparted and do the same.
Now open HDD Raw Copy tool and try to copy the image again, this solves my problems many times

[chaimroid]

I tried removing all the partitions and doing it again and now I get directly into the normal GRUB, which let's me choose to boot Ubuntu, but that just says "error: no such partition." When I go into the GRUB command-line and try `ls` I get nothing back.

Any chance to get a link to v0018? I know that definitely worked for me.

I think you have to go to "grub rescue" option and then ls.

Anyway, if you remove all partitions and use HDDRawCopy to "imaging" the file you should be ok.
Let us know please.

PD: If you don't main, any reason way don't you wanna use 19.2 community release?

[bdog1234]

Just updated all eight of my rigs using the latest 2.0 image.

I also set up and started using telegram for the first time.

All seems to be working great and what an awesome program.

Big thanks to everyone for their efforts on this.

There is no miner config lines in 3main of v0019-2.0 and no 0miner in earlier versions ... seems you mix them together ...

Yes, i just saw that i was copying from old 3main because i want to add nicehash-algos in wtm_switch sélection (and i had made it in 3main from v0019-1.4)
Post EDITed and corrected

Good evening all -

Is there a way to limit the algos that salfter MPH uses?  multi pool miner for example seems similar to salfters routine but allows the addition of only the algo's i want to run.

I'd like to use salfters system but limit it to say neoscrypt, equihash, lyra2re2, skein and lyra2z

[car1999]

do you have a plan to upgrade cuda to 9 or 9.1? They are faster than 8.

[car1999]

not yet does it has an iso link?

You can also recompile the miner on your rig :

Code:

cd /home/m1/KTccminer
./autogen.sh 
./configure.sh
./build.sh

It cannot build with the installed openssl, I have to copy bn.h from openssl 1.0 to openssl include folder to make the compiler happy, it would be great to fix the openssl version issue automaticly.

Is this an SSD or USB install?
May be your USB is corrupted and causing problems, try another one.
