hi
when I want mining verge(xvg), ccminer show this error: GPU#0:Intensity set to 21, 2097152 cuda threads
Cuda error in func 'skein256_cpu_init' at line 462 : invalid device symbol

 my  setting for xvg:  -a lyra2v2 -o stratum+tcp://lyra2v2.mine.zpool.ca:4533 -u wallet -p c=XVG-lyra -i 21

is my gtx970 too old for mining xvg?
any solution!??

Take a look here : https://github.com/papampi/nvOC_by_fullzero_Community_Release

and try to recompile your miner or another miner software that permit to mine Lyra2rev2 algo :

Update and recompile miners:

Code:

cd /home/m1/Downloads
wget -N https://raw.githubusercontent.com/papampi/nvOC_miners/master/nvOC_miner_update.sh
bash /home/m1/Downloads/nvOC_miner_update.sh

Actually, i'm using Nanashi ccminer fork that seemed to me alittle bit stable than ASccminer or others ccminer forks

hello.i am a new user.
i just installed the 1.9.4 and want to config the 0miner ,but it is not listed on the /home/m1.where can i find this file?

You need to install 19-2.0 Community Release

[gzf445]

hello,
i use the xmr setting to mining ipbc(1 coin that use the  cryptonight).

i edited the 1bash file

XMR_WORKER="$WORKERNAME"
XMR_ADDRESS="bxcoBqMsV4j6APUYHPjFu5dENqdbVhCQNecviyL9GF2ePpkvDzhapi8b8MjFL7xyCeWgQp3rheK9Ze3 pH6AquRNN17CUjEMDw"
XMR_POOL="support2.ipbc.io"
XMR_PORT="3333"

and i also changed the 0miner

ADDR="$XMR_ADDRESS"

and the reboot the rig.
but i got this error shown on the screen.anything i do wrong?

Two of my rigs seem to make the whole network unoperational. unplugging the rig from network and rebooting seems to solve this.
I tried to search for this but didn't find anything even though I recall it has been discussed previously.

Seems to happen with both updated and image version of v0019-1.4.
What might cause this?

Its a known ubuntu problem, try to image with 19-1.4
then update with 19-2.0 update script and change this line in the update script :

from:

Code:

sudo -- sh -c 'apt update; apt upgrade -y; apt autoremove -y; apt autoclean -y; sudo apt install -y moreutils gawk'

to:

Code:

#sudo -- sh -c 'apt update; apt upgrade -y; apt autoremove -y; apt autoclean -y; sudo apt install -y moreutils gawk'
 sudo apt install -y moreutils gawk

Edit:
did I get it correct?
Your rig works with 19-1.4?
But not after update to 19-2.0?

Somehow this issue has resuccerted. I am running 19-2.0. Will 2.1 have same Ubuntu version ? If yes, any questimate when 2.1 would be available?

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS final release is just around the corner.
Hopefully our next nvOC will be based on that.
I think Leenoox is working on its beta versions now.

[WaveFront]

Hey :-)

As everybody knows, Monero changed the POW algorithm yesterday.
Without updating the miner, it won't be possible to mine XMR anymore.

How can I update the XMR miner?
Do I simply run nvOC_miner_update.sh or do I have to install a new xmr miner (for example https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak )

Ok, thx!

Will add other new cryptonight miners to next version
For now to use latest xmr-stak:


First Download and compile latest :

Code:

cd /home/m1/
git clone https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak.git
mkdir xmr-stak/build
cd xmr-stak/build
cmake ..
make install

make install may take long time to complete

Rename xmr-stak to be compatible with rest of nvOC scripts

Code:

mv  /home/m1/xmr-stak/build/bin/xmr-stak /home/m1/xmr-stak/build/bin/xmr-stak_miner

0miner change the old

Code:

if [ $COIN == "XMR" ]

To:

Code:

if [ $COIN == "XMR-OLD" ]

incase we need it ....

Add new XMR to 0miner:

Code:

if [ $COIN == "XMR" ]
then
  HCD='/home/m1/xmr-stak/build/bin/xmr-stak_miner'
  ADDR="$XMR_ADDRESS"
  screen -dmSL miner $HCD --currency monero7 --noCPU --noAMD -o "$XMR_POOL:$XMR_PORT" -u $ADDR -r $XMR_WORKER -p $MINER_PWD -i 0
fi

In above you can change "-i 0" to the port number for web ui

if you want cpu mine too remove noCPU
If you want it showing hashrate by default in output, after 1st run edit /home/m1/config.txt

Code:

nano /home/m1/config.txt 

Change :

Code:

"verbose_level" : 3,

To:

Code:

"verbose_level" : 4,

Edit:
I missed stubo wrote a how to before in This Post
Thanks mate

I have the possibility to buy a couple of these boards :
https://s9.postimg.org/3shm0nisv/mining_mobo.png
The only information known about this mobo :
mineraria Main Board, starall LGA 775 DDR3 8 PCIe SATA mineraria Mother board + 8pcs PCI-E Extender Riser card per BTC ETH Rig ethereum 8 GPU nero 1 x Hauptplatine

So it is based on the old socket 775. The question is : will nvOC work on this mobo, also will it see all 8 PCI-E ?

I prefer this stubo version  at the moment : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.msg33222656#msg33222656

But i will take the changes in the new version 19-2.1 to mine all the other cryptonight coins if theres are profitables

Why did you placed only config.txt in /home/m1 not in the xmr miner directory ? Why just config.txt ? Why not pools.txt or cpu.txt or nvidia.txt ?
In any case, for a long time I use this software and I knew it would be promising. Wait&See

[CryptAtomeTrader44]

Is someone tried all theses miners on Linux ?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2126975.0

A guide for tweaking to increase hashrate : https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/blob/master/doc/tuning.md#nvidia-backend

This site offers benchmarking, but i've note tested yet :
https://www.xmrstak.com/

I read a link above that indicate cryptonight use max 2Gb of RAM maximum, so you must calibrate your threads and Bfactors nearest of 2Gb.

Bit if this algo is memory intensive, it would give more hashrate if we overclock memory as at just value.
So if some readers here had made some limits tests about minning cryptonightv7, please give us and post your results with a precise hardware description and your overcloking parameters.

Note that difficulty stay around 100G since XMR algo fork (last friday), but it will not last forever. I think we have not more than 3 or 5 days before return to it's very high difficulty increase again.
For those who mines last week-end, it's clear that was very good deal to mine XMR. It's possible that every cryptonight coin who will make this algo hardfork
produce the same degree of difficulty, so be prepared and please share the information if you feel it is worth it.

Last thing, I find that this combination software fork and difficulty drop down permit XMR to climb in the top on WTM. And my electricity consumption has fallen sharply. It was definintly a good thing.

And in the process, this negates Bitmain recent efforts with ASICS. but I think this is only a postponement.

I used gg translate.

Thanks for pointing it out,
I missed stubo howto

Both are almost same, the only difference is with my 0miner edit it wont ask for details at first run and take them from your 1bash
Also I dont put config.txt, pools.txt, nvidia.txt,... in /home/m1, xmr-stak create and put them there at first run.

Will edit it and add stubo optimizations for hugepages memory.

Ok, I understood why you do not put config files.

I posted about it last night on Discord.

I had come to understand the value of your solution, which was quite usable and much better integrated with what you have done so far in NVOC.

Your solution is certainly better suited for the long term. That of the stubo had the advantage of being simple and easy to implement.

I also wrote that I would take your solution in the next version of nvOC.

Hi, guys

I' using NVOC successfully for months but currently there is only one card left in the rig. I have removed the other cards and the miner didn't start. This card is with extender. Have tried to switch the PCIe slot but nothing.
The card is GTX1080 and is visible with nvidia-smi but the miner is silent.

Can you help me please?

Did you connect your GPU to the x16 (long PCIe slot) closest to the CPU? Also make sure the integrated GPU is disabled in the bios.

What do you mean by "miner is silent"?
Does it start but gives error and quits, or it wont start at all?

I don't know. How to check if there are errors or how to watch what is happening?

Something is messed totally i'm getting "ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.102 port 22: No route to host"

Yesterday I have edited telegram file and have duplicated and edited some settings. I have duplicated damNmad's settings, set custom name and removed some info and break lines. Can that be the reason that OS is not loading? I have received test message several times and everything was ok. I have set the interval 1440min but today nothing. That was the message if it matters somehow:

Current Hashrate:

TEMPS: 45
POWERDRAW: 20.38 W

Yes that was the problem at that time. I have removed my "customizations" and it starts normally and got connection. But miner still not working. Now is that:

Did you enabled ssh in 1bash?
can you log in to your local machine with monitor attached?

Yes I can. When original telegram file was restored the machine starts but miner still did not work. Are there any eroor logs for the miner?

Hi Papampi,
thanks for the detailed instructions.
It works like a charm :-)

Hi all, right now I mine with nvOC and WTM profit switcher. I just switch between a handful of miningpoolhub supported coins atm and i want to change that. I thought about using MPHs multialgo switch if a WTM coin is not supported

i. E. Atm it is goByte (neoscrypt). I wondered if I switch to algo on MPH now, will it be as profitable as mining goByte? I need autoexchange feature as I don't want to sell manually every time to catch profits.

I also thought about zpool but heared they somehow cut a 20% profits so I stay away atm.

[Peeyam]

I just build my own Nvidia Rig with four 1050 and one 1060 gigabytes nvidia cards.

Installed 19.4 nvOC

Changes made to 1Bash

1) COIN="XMR" changed to COIN="DUAL_ETC_SC"
2) CUSTOM_WORKER="nvOC_v0019" changed to "Goldminer"
3) updated the wallets BTC, ETH, ETC and SC ( Siacoin?)

Issue : the Rig Boots up and then shutsdown after about 30 seconds in a loop.


Please can you advise what I am doing wrong ? A beginner to mining and linux OS. so I have no idea what's the problem.
