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

[papampi]

Has anyone tried using Firefox in nvOC while mining? It is painfuly slow even on my rigs with i7 cpu's. Same thing happens in v18 and v19. If I kill the mining process Firefox works well. Strange... fullzero, any idea what might cause firefox to crawl like that?

Completely normal, GPU is under full pressure and cant render pages.

@fullzero
I was mining equihash on zpool and suddenly zpool server goes down for some coins
is it possible to add a 2nd coin to mine in case first coin was not mine-able ?
or server couldnt be reached or ....
Telegram notification saved me when my rigs were rebooting after failing to mine

[argonaute]

Have you set cpu mining to off ?

yep, for sure

looks like 3main select only one GPU for a reason I don't know

this is due to a problem with the 3main implementation wi$em@n found; but I haven't fixed yet.  You can do this manually for now by finding this area in 3main:

Code:

if [ $COIN == "XMR" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/xmr/stakGPU/bin/xmr-stak-nvidia'
ADDR="$XMR_ADDRESS.$XMR_WORKER"

cat <<EOF >/home/m1/xmr/stakGPU/bin/config.txt

"gpu_threads_conf" : [
  { "index" : 0,
    "threads" : 32, "blocks" : 18,
    "bfactor" : 8, "bsleep" :  10,
    "affine_to_cpu" : false,
  },
],

"use_tls" : false,
"tls_secure_algo" : true,
"tls_fingerprint" : "",

"pool_address" : "$XMR_POOL",
"wallet_address" : "$ADDR",
"pool_password" : "x",

"call_timeout" : 10,
"retry_time" : 10,
"giveup_limit" : 0,

"verbose_level" : 4,

"h_print_time" : 60,

"output_file" : "",

"httpd_port" : 0,

"prefer_ipv4" : true
EOF

cd /home/m1/xmr/stakGPU/bin

screen -dmS miner $HCD

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

and adding an additional:

gpu_threads_conf" : [
  { "index" : 0,
    "threads" : 32, "blocks" : 18,
    "bfactor" : 8, "bsleep" :  10,
    "affine_to_cpu" : false,
  },
  { "index" : 1,
    "threads" : 32, "blocks" : 18,
    "bfactor" : 8, "bsleep" :  10,
    "affine_to_cpu" : false,
  },
  { "index" : 2,
    "threads" : 32, "blocks" : 18,
    "bfactor" : 8, "bsleep" :  10,
    "affine_to_cpu" : false,
  },
  { "index" : 3,
    "threads" : 32, "blocks" : 18,
    "bfactor" : 8, "bsleep" :  10,
    "affine_to_cpu" : false,
  },
],

index block per GPU to the "gpu_threads_conf"

as the above would be for 4x gpus.

thanks a lot Fullzero

I'm now able to use my 7x GPU with your modification

unfortunately watchdog is not working anymore as it saying that GPU utilisation is to low

not a big deal

thanks

Thanks mate, I'm working on that now, will let you know if I need any help

Thanks for the ZPOOL_EQUIHASH, MPH_ETHASH, MPH_EQUIHASH - I've added all those 3 now, will add some zpool algos too (considering your request about unified zpool worker)

I surf all the time on all of my rigs with no slow down at all but Im running Windows...

[octomob]

All rigs on P106-100 running smooth atm, all works just fine with Asrock H110 Pro BTC+ - 12 GPU, and hashrate is arorund 25,2 Mhs on ETH on Claymore 10, per card. 
Thanks a lot, keep up good work

Good to see it worked for you

I think you can increase you CC (150? or push it to the limit) and decrease mc till -300 may be?? play around and increase your stable yield

On my RIG of 8x1060 6G  cc:160,mc:-500,pl:60wt getting 3900 H/s (but with a different miner)

[Temporel]

All rigs on P106-100 running smooth atm, all works just fine with Asrock H110 Pro BTC+ - 12 GPU, and hashrate is arorund 25,2 Mhs on ETH on Claymore 10, per card. 
Thanks a lot, keep up good work

not sure if it was a reply to my post earlier but thanks anyway this is the kind of infos I was looking for.
Are you using latest nvOC version ?

[damNmad]

I think I posted these 3 configs
ZPOOL_EQUIHASH ZPOOL_NEOSCRYPT MPH_EQUIHASH

Thanks mate, I'm working on that now, will let you know if I need any help

Thanks for the ZPOOL_EQUIHASH, MPH_ETHASH, MPH_EQUIHASH - I've added all those 3 now, will add some zpool algos too (considering your request about unified zpool worker)

MPH wise, we got the major ethash and equihash algos, we already have SALFTER's MPH switcher.

Only thing remaining is the zpool algos.

I may ask if I get stuck

Thanks a lot, that kind of support means so much

Tell me, in this OS there is a possibility to change the core voltage?

Yes, how change core voltage for GPU?

Core voltage of GPU??

I downloaded it to test, but I am not able to mine it, I wanted to use claymore 9.8 to mine ETC, but I never start mining, I double-click on the start. bash and it only opens it with the editor, it doesn't start the claymore...

U have to put this image on a usb key, config and bot on this one after. (Check OP for how to)

When u launch your nvOC, u have to config 1bash before.
1bash will be executed automatically on bot, u dont have to execute him after start. And that from older version.

nvOC0019 use 3main to launch process

Yes, I already have it installed, and I'll start it up, where do I modify the 1bash? I saw that at the beginning of the SO a miner starts up, I had no idea of modifying it.

Plug your USB on your computer, u can reach 1bash on it
Edit this one, save and quit.
Plug your USB on your RIG.

All setting have to be set on 1bash, address, coin mined etc ....

exactly, no slowdown at all on windows. i wonder why there is such a slowdown on linux... usually linux handles everything better than windows.... there must be something wrong here... some setting or library not configured properly... linux should be able to alocate resources as needed...

on a side note.... if i ctrl-c the watchdog, maximus temp control and miner, the system hangs, i have to hard reset
... hrmm..

Just wanted to share my current settings after spending the last day tweaking. Still probably could maybe optimize more, but this is how far I've gotten so far.

1080ti mining eth/lbry

cc: 150
mc: 1500
dcri: -500

eth: 27 Mh/s
lbry: 294 Mh/s

Currently comes out to just a touch under $3 per day of profit on my rig spending .11/kWh. Sort of underwhelming, but still higher than mining ETH or LBRY alone. Any suggestions or tips are welcome. (These settings are not stable.)
