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

[salfter]

how do you scroll up in the guake terminal?

Assuming that you're viewing a screen session in that window, Ctrl-A [ lets you begin scrolling back with the arrow keys.  Pressing Enter a couple of times will drop out of scrollback.

If you're not using screen, I don't know...is there a scrollbar?  I've always run my rigs headless over ssh and I don't use Ubuntu elsewhere, so I'm not too familiar with its desktop.

[woodl1]

Anone managed to start NVOC version 19 with built-in  VGA? I heared this version finally have a fix, for using on rigs built on GP106-100 GPUs

As I can see on the first page, it is still advised to start without monitor attached if you have only p106 in your rig.

I have tried to start full headless, with pure p106 mode enabled, but all I get are errors in logs, mining process doesn't start. Does anyone know why this could happen?

(I have asus z270-p with 8 p106-100, screen was attached only to modify bios settings as described for z270-a, usb stick was never attached with monitor at the same time)

genoil does not report current hashrate to pool. i'm mining etc on nanopool.

is there a way to make it report the hashrate as it would make checking on the rig much easier. with varying hashrates it's difficult to tell whether all gpus are running.

[jyakulis]

A Sempron might have difficulty with additional GPUs and some ALGOs; I previously used all Sempron's with BTC / LTC gpu rigs:  they were solid for BTC, but had some issues with LTC with more than 4x GPUs.  I haven't used one in a long time, so I have no idea how they fair with current algos.

Hmm interesting you brought that up. I use the same board on my personal computer. But I upgraded it for gaming to a 6 core processor and doubled my ram. Anyway, I run 3 gpu no problems on Windows 10. But with the board with the Sempron I could never get it to install past 3 gpu on Windows. And I am also having some freezing problems in Ubuntu during mining. Thinking maybe I should upgrade...

As far as I know K10 Amds use AGP-Gart for their IOMMU. You might get problems on these system because you're running out of DMA-Space, try using 'iommu=memapper=4' (maybe 5) as your boot-parameter, you can look up more details in the kernel documentation.

I am mining ZEC on Nanopool. I would like to add my email address as they outline here so that I can increase my minimum payout limit so as to not get so many small transactions.

Code:

 Make sure config.txt file looks like this(replace eu1 with nearest server):

-zpool ssl://zec-eu1.nanopool.org:6633
-zwal YOUR_WALLET.YOUR_WORKER_NAME/EMAIL
-zpsw z
-ftime 1
Where:

YOUR_ETH/ETC_ADDRESS - your valid ZCash address
YOUR_WORKER - simple short worker name (like worker01). Optional.
YOUR_EMAIL - your email address for notifications. Optional.
Don`t forget to set wallet, worker and email address to correct values.

In 1bash I see this:

Code:

ZEC_WORKER="$WORKERNAME"
ZEC_ADDRESS="t1JzsnP1qRWqt1Tpiai7uZQ1r461yRreNdy"
ZEC_POOL="zec-us-east1.nanopool.org"
ZEC_PORT="6666"
EWBF_VERSION="3_4"  # choose 3_3  or  3_4

Should I just change the ZEC_WORKER to?

Code:

ZEC_WORKER="machine1/bdog1234@blahblah.com"

Is there any OC list for 1060 and 1070 gpus? Seems to me that the recommendations are deleted  

My 13 1060 gpu rig has:
10 gpus mc=1700, cc=-100
 3 gpus mc=1500, cc=-100

hashrate around 315Mh/s (23-24Mhs/gpu)
mining etc
hope is helpfull

[octomob]

Please, explain me what does

P106_100_FULL_HEADLESS_MODE="YES/NO"

mean?

explain please also when should I use YES and when NO

Thank you in advance,
respectfully,
Sergey

Headless means no desktop

You only need to worry about that option if you are using P106-100 GPU's

If you are not using them then set it to 'NO'

Thank you, got that

And i use P106-100 on my rigs 
What does this option stands for?

[bdog1234]

can not get this to work on one of my rig... in not a linux guru 

you don't need to be a linux guru to make nvOC work, you need to be a usb stick plug in and switch the power on guru though

also, we need more details in order to help...

SALFTER_NICEHASH_PROFIT_SWITCHING vs SALFTER_MPH_PROFIT_SWITCHING

what the difference?

SALFTER_NICEHASH_PROFIT_SWITCHING - This one mines the profitable algorithm according to nicehash stats and converts straight into BTC. You must have an account with nicehash and copy that address over to 1bash.

SALFTER_MPH_PROFIT_SWITCHING - This one mines the profitable coin according to miningpoolhub stats and keeps the coins under you account. You must have an account with miningpoolhub and add that to MPH_USER.

Mate, that is a very simple DIY stuff, for which you don't need to wait until next release.

Just follow this guide and try v10, you can simply switch back by renaming folder names.

Download the Linux version on rig from this link :

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B69wv2iqszefdFZUV2toUG5HdlU

extract it (right click extract here)

Go to /home/m1/eth (can do it using GUI)

rename the 9_8 to 9_8_xx

copy the latest claymore folder from downloads and paste it in the above eth folder and rename it to 9_8.

It should work normally (this is the easiest work around, you don't need to edit any 1bash or 3main).

I've seen a little increase in dual mining lbc hashrates.

Hope it helps
