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

[jlbaseball11]

I'm trying to mine ZCOIN on Mining Pool Hub. I keep getting "reject reason: low difficulty share of ________". Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks so much!

in the 1bash file, scroll down 2/3 of the way down and find this part and add a z at the end of the algo type:
if [ $COIN == "ZCOIN" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/TPccminer/ccminer'
ADDR="$ZCOIN_ADDRESS.$ZCOIN_WORKER"

until $HCD -a lyra2z -o $ZCOIN_POOL -u $ADDR -p x
   do
   echo "FAILURE; reinit in 5" >&2
   sleep 5
done
fi

Here is the "owners manual" for ccminer: https://github.com/palginpav/ccminer/blob/windows/README.txt

There are many commands that you can use in the 1bash.  Changing your intensity "-i   " is helpful to gain some h/s.  On my 1080TIs I added an extra 35MH/s to each card by using: until $HCD -a lbry -o $LBC_POOL -u $ADDR -p x -i 23

Also if you try to mine DMD, you need to change the -a "  " from "groestl" to "dmd-gr"

Hi,

Thanks for nvOC!!!

Got BIOSTAR TB250-BTC PRO with G3900 but can not boot nvOC on it with 6 GPU, with latest BIOS
anyone have latest BIOS settings for nvOC?

I got PCI errors full of screen...

On Page 1, this is stated:


If you are using a BIOSTAR TB250-BTC PRO; ensure Mining Mode is enabled in the bios.  Also ensure Max TOLUD is set to 3.5 GB in the bios.
NOTE: you must first only connect 6x GPUs, boot, make Bios changes, save and reboot, shutdown, add the other 6x GPUs, attach the USB or SSD and boot

Hope that helps.

I have 6x Zotac Mini Gtx 1060 6Gb. I get 19mh stock in dual ETH+DCR.
If I overclock it with your suggested settings: cc 150 mc 900 I get 21.5mh .
But if I try the same settings with msi afterburner in Windows, I get 23.5mh.
Why is this happening?

I believe that Linux and Windows OC settings vary and this means that in Linux your OC settings aren't the same as if you put cc150 and mc 900 in Windows, I guess in linux you can do higher clocks and still achieve a stable system and same hashrate as windows.

powerlimit and OC curve are different in Linux

for 1060s try

powerlimit of 120

cc 100

mc 1200 ( and keep increasing by 100 until you get a soft crash)

You are right, thank you

Is it possible to add the Ethminer fork in the next release?

It works fine for my Nvidia cards and has no dev fee instead of Claymore: https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/releases

I think that the new updates to Ubuntu have stopped the ability to use more that 6 GPUs.  I had a rig with 13 and after a reboot I can only use 6.

U can mine ETH wih genoil miner, just put on your 1bash right setting ... no fee, best performance on ETH

[jlbaseball11]

Is there a benefit to downloading any drivers for the cards?  I never have and have been mining fine with nvOC for a few months now.

[damNmad]

I recommend trying a powerlimit of 68 when dual mining with a 1050ti.

Big thank's fullzero for your work.

What powerlimit do you recomending with a 1060 and 1070?

Respect fullzero work and grown by yourself ? Google is your friend
" Hi i am so lazy i cant do a single research by my self, i have to ask."

DO THINK BY YOURSELF A LITTLE MAYBE ? Lazy ass

Calm down dude. You were asking the same a couple of months ago! As was I.

How about something less direct but still a little condescending like: All cards are different. I recommend you try different power limits, record the results and figure it out for your own setup?

Well I guess his intention was to give fullZero more time for development of upcoming release, as these minor things can be sorted between the community members and online search too.

Coming to your query, I only have used 1060 to speak for, I put it on 80 Watt on dual/single and CC/MC varies based on coin/algo you mine.

That's exactly what I meant, sometimes I do not put it in the right shape. Fullzero has a lot of work and does it for free, avoiding vampirizing his time is better.

Thanks damNmad

NP Mate, you helped me other day with SIGT, Thanks for that

Thank you

to Bibi187: May be answer damNmad is better?

You are welcome, happy mining

Bigf00t, did you mean latest release of ethminer?? fullzero will add it in v19 hopefully (you can also do it mean while, if you wish to have it)

If not etminer already exists like Bibi187 saying.

Hi,

can you explain to me how to set Power limit for GPU-z ?
also when i try to OC on bash file no effect, i must do it in powermizer to work.

On another note I have Asrock H110 BTC+ PRO with 13*P106-100 6GB GPU-z, they all work fine, and i see ppl asking about CPU, G3900 i not enough minimum you should tell them is i3 7100 3.9ghz 2-Cor/4-Thread
i had G3900 but system froze a lot as CPU usage was 70+% now with the i3 everything is good, CPU usage avg. 20-30%

Hum weird u cant set powerlimit ... One 1bash did u set YES on

Maxximus007_AUTO_TEMPERATURE_CONTROL="YES"

If YES u have to set individual power limit on 1bash, if NO, u have to set the main powerlimit in 1bash

Hey guys quick one, on nvOC15 it seemed to be internet bandwidth friendly this new version seems to suck up a fair bit of juice to the point where there isnt enough for any other device in the house.

I notice there is a new remote in terminal is that a possible culprit?

No need for Full zero to reply I am sure a member has already solved it.  I searched back the last 30 pages and used search but couldnt find anything.

I am in Australia and unfortunately our internet speeds are ranked pretty poor compared to other OECD countries.

You're using nvOC 18?

ok i did this, how do i now see if it actually worked ? i cant use terminal because it just restarts the mining program

Hmm checking this Github repo, I see this is NOT the same as Genoil's ethminer (there's a FAQ explaining there). So, the question is... Does it perform better than Genoil's? Anyone actually tested?

U can open a new terminal and just open another putty, u can open as many terminal as u want.
On a terminal do

export DISPLAY=0
watch -n 1 nvidia-smi

Last command provide you info about Fan Speed / Temp / Watt / GPU votality with a permanent refresh every 1 sec, if u want to check only one time just do

nvidia-smi

i built the code and tested, it has the same hashrate as Genoil's in nvOC.
but it could have more features, e.g. shwo hashrate per card.,so it's better to add it in the next nvOC release.

Hi guys now i got this error message mining sigt

"Warning: persistence mode is disabled on this device. This settings will go back to default as soon as driver unloads (e.g. last application like nvidia-smi or cuda ..."

How can i fix that?

And can you share ur experience mining SIGT @ current block and difficulty, Im mining on supernova 120mhs for SIGT for 20hrs (estimate) i got only 57 SIGT and i think this is bad. anyone can help me or advise a better pool?

Thanks again so much

God Bless

That's not a bug, its a feature.  It means your settings for power will be configured each time the script loads.  Persistence mode would be if you didn't use the script and set the configuration in xserver settings panel manually, then saved the profile. That would load persistent settings every time you boot (pointless unless you disable power settings in the script, which you probably don't want to do)
