Hi all,
Has anyone incorporated ethminer 0.11.0 into this nvOC release? I managed to download it and can get it to run, but have been having the hardest time getting any results. I am running all GTX 1060 6GB cards (13 per rig), but am still getting about 21.5 Mh/s with mem OC.
I may not be the most adept at editing the 1bash though, and was having a difficult time finding a list of the flags (ethminer --help told me that ethminer wasn't a valid program).
Any thoughts?
U dont have to put any miner os nvOC, miner is in nvOC. For eth u can use genoil as far i know is the one u can grab more mh/s per gpu
Copy past your 1bash file ( only the first part ) here and i will help you
Thank you. My apologies if I was not clear. I have been able to use the Genoil already in nvOC 18 (it automatically executes through my editing of 1bash). I have also managed to successfully download the later version of ethminer, which is supposed to get more Mh/s for GTX 1060 cards (which I have). The challenges I have are:
- These use different flags for the optimization.
- I cannot find a list of the flags, and going to the ethminer directory and typing "ethminer --help" tells me that ethminer is not a program (even though I can definitely get 0.11.0 to execute when pointing to it in 1bash, or simply dropping the new ethminer into the Genoil-U folder).
So really, I am hoping to find if anyone has had success configuring this later miner version and gotten the increased performance.
Any help would be awesome.
Adding the new ethminer with individual GPU output has already been requested by another member. I will compile it (probably) tomorrow and tell you how it does / upload the files.
In the meantime:
On the ethminer executable you copied to the Genoil-U directory, open guake and type:
with a space after 755 then drag the ethminer executable you copied to the Genoil-U directory to the guake terminal and let go. It should add an absolute path to it after the chmod 755
press enter then try running ethminer again.
Thank you! I will try that this evening and share anything worthwhile that I learn.
As a follow up, I just tried this and unfortunately the result is the same:
--
m1@m1-desktop:~/eth/Genoil-U$ ls
ethminer
m1@m1-desktop:~/eth/Genoil-U$ chmod 755 '/home/m1/eth/Genoil-U/ethminer'
m1@m1-desktop:~/eth/Genoil-U$ ethminer
ethminer: command not found
--
I tried removing the single quotes as well, but same result.
Have you tried this?
Right click the ethminer; properties; go to permissions tab and check the tick box which precisely says 'allow to execute the file's and try then?
Yes - great idea, but I tried that too.
Try the edited bit now please
EDIT:
Have you tried this?
./ethminer --help (make sure you are in the same directory)
If still doesn't work, please post a screenshot of the folder with its contents
I have - that is ultimately what I am truly trying to solve for, as 1bash can execute this, but I wanted to run the --help to see the flags for the optimizations (and then figure out how to fold them back into 1bash).
Not much to see in the screenshot, but I will share as soon as I figure out how to create one (or where to paste/save).
Sorry for my bad english. You want run with 1bash?
Your English is not bad at all, so don't worry about it
I didn't mean to run it with 1bash, I'm trying to figure out why you are not able to overcome the above issue!
I've compiled or copied some miners before, they ran perfectly. If I get a clear picture of your files and stuff, I may able to help you better with it, which is why I'm asking for a screenshot of the location of your miner.
I think someone else had jumped into the thread.
BUT - I just looked again and completely missed the "./" from your recommendation. THAT works.
For anyone looking for them, HERE are the flags for ethminer 0.11.0:
---
Work farming mode:
-F,--farm <url> Put into mining farm mode with the work server at URL (default:
http://127.0.0.1:8545)
-FF,-FO, --farm-failover, --stratum-failover <url> Failover getwork/stratum URL (default: disabled)
--farm-retries <n> Number of retries until switch to failover (default: 3)
-S, --stratum <host:port> Put into stratum mode with the stratum server at host:port
-FS, --failover-stratum <host:port> Failover stratum server at host:port
-O, --userpass <username.workername:password> Stratum login credentials
-FO, --failover-userpass <username.workername:password> Failover stratum login credentials (optional, will use normal credentials when omitted)
--work-timeout <n> reconnect/failover after n seconds of working on the same (stratum) job. Defaults to 180. Don't set lower than max. avg. block time
-SC, --stratum-client <n> Stratum client version. Defaults to 1 (async client). Use 2 to use the new synchronous client.
-SP, --stratum-protocol <n> Choose which stratum protocol to use:
0: official stratum spec: ethpool, ethermine, coinotron, mph, nanopool (default)
1: eth-proxy compatible: dwarfpool, f2pool, nanopool
2: EthereumStratum/1.0.0: nicehash
-SE, --stratum-email <s> Email address used in eth-proxy (optional)
--farm-recheck <n> Leave n ms between checks for changed work (default: 500). When using stratum, use a high value (i.e. 2000) to get more stable hashrate output

-M [<n>],--benchmark [<n>] Benchmark for mining and exit; Optionally specify block number to benchmark against specific DAG.
--benchmark-warmup <seconds> Set the duration of warmup for the benchmark tests (default: 3).
--benchmark-trial <seconds> Set the duration for each trial for the benchmark tests (default: 3).

Mining configuration:
-G,--opencl When mining use the GPU via OpenCL.
-U,--cuda When mining use the GPU via CUDA.
-X,--cuda-opencl Use OpenCL + CUDA in a system with mixed AMD/Nvidia cards. May require setting --opencl-platform 1
--opencl-platform <n> When mining using -G/--opencl use OpenCL platform n (default: 0).

--cuda-block-size Set the CUDA block work size. Default is 128
--cuda-grid-size Set the CUDA grid size. Default is 8192
--cuda-streams Set the number of CUDA streams. Default is 2
--cuda-schedule <mode> Set the schedule mode for CUDA threads waiting for CUDA devices to finish work. Default is 'sync'. Possible values are:
