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

[damNmad]

it seems like most ETH pools require a email field, where you can put a email or passphrase in the miner, then you need to use that on the pool webpage to change payout settings..... is there a way to add this into the 1BASH file, or is there already a default that this os uses in that field?   im beating my head against the wall trying to figure this out.

. Can I please get some input on this.

Not all of the pools support email, so we never tried to add one by default, if you can let me now coin name and pool name, i can certainly help you with that.

To use nanopool, first ensure that this option has been set to 'SLASH' in your 1bash

DOT_POOL_FORMAT_or_FORWARD_SLASH_POOL_FORMAT="SLASH"    # DOT  or  SLASH    # formerly ETHERMINEdotORG

Go to 3main file, search for this line

[ $COIN == "ETH" ]

Add your email as marked in red

if [ $COIN == "ETH" ]
then

if [ $ETHMINER_or_GENOIL_or_CLAYMORE == "GENOIL" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/eth/Genoil-U/ethminer'

Note :
This fix only works for ETH solo mining (for any miner); hoping you can figure out if you are dual mining.

Let me know if this has worked for you.

Is there an update for nvOs with support for bitcoin gold mining?

[papampi]

Is there an update for nvOs with support for bitcoin gold mining?

Not until BTG become available for public mining.
First 8000 Blocks of BTG are private for its developer mining.

[medi91]

I noticed there was a mention about headless for p106 chips

does that mean a function to run without a monitor? currently hitting that roadblock lol

Yes, running headless means no monitor and you can SSH into the rig from another computer.

Ok so a fresh copy of Nvoc -13 on a new rig.

What causes the mining script to display "screen is terminating" after loading the OC values?

It does it no matter what I do, even a fresh untouched 1bash it displays the same message before just looping back through!

Yep tried that the first 4-5 times before pulling a fresh untouched 1bash from one of my other 4 rigs.

If I modify the the file or not it terminates and loops back through.

What coin are you mining for?

[Heguli97]

Could anyone help me on how to mine sha-3(keccak) algo with ccminer? Or if it isn't possible yet, maybe add support for it in the near future?

What coin you want to mine??

Please let me know the below details, i will create a quick guide on how to add that coin.

COIN :
ALGO : Keccak
POOL :

Once i have these details I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Hey, thanks for helping out  

COIN : SMART (SmartCash)
ALGO : Keccak
POOL : pool.smartcash.cc (EU server)

As promised here you go;

To mine this you need an account here

 and they ask for an address too, they have web wallet as well (but use it at you own risk).

Add this in 1bash;

SMART_WORKER="yourWorkerName"

Tested this various ccminer forks, ASccminer seems the best one.

I have used 150 cc, 1500 mc, 78 PL getting 440MH per card on average (GTX 1060 - samsung memory).

Hope this helps!

You are welcome

If you are installing 1.3 and are mining equihash you have to set miner to EWBF and not ZM

When will nvOC release with ZM included? I'm keen to see the difference

I know very little about this but it seems it is not connecting to something. On the Terminal side it keeps saying SCREEN IS TERMINATING.

Should it be set to ZM or EWBF??

Did you start with the 19-1.3 image? If so, you may be missing the ZM miner so try this at the command line and see what response you get:

   file /home/m1/zec/zm/5_1/zm_miner

If you get no such file or directory, the easiest fix to get started mining is to change from ZM to EWBF by changing this flag in 1bash:

   ZM_or_EWBF="EWBF"  # choose  ZM  or  EWBF

Hope this helps.

[Stubo]

When will nvOC release with ZM included? I'm keen to see the difference

I can't answer that but for those chomping at the bit to try ZM or for those who start with the 19-1.3 image and are missing it, the way to get it (commands taken from 2unix):

Code:

   cd /tmp
   wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B3ra23kLdr5lVUJoal9vdV85UDQ' -O v0019-13.zip
   cp v0019-13.zip '/home/m1/Downloads'
   rm v0019-13.zip
   cd /home/m1/Downloads
   unzip v0019-13.zip
   cd /home/m1/Downloads/v0019-13

   pkill -f 3main
   pkill -e screen

   rm -r /home/m1/zec/zm
   mv zm /home/m1/zec
   
   sudo reboot

I chose not to clutter it up with comments but I can if needed. In a nutshell, this code just gets the .3 update package which includes the missing ZM miner and puts it in the location where 3main expects it to be. After doing this, you can toggle your ZM_or_EWBF back to ZM in 1bash and start mining with the new miner.

I tried dstm ZM miner for a week and was not so happy with it
Most important,  cpu utilization was too high, with EWBF my cpu usage is around 10-15%, with ZM it is over 60%
Hash rate looks more stable though. with ewbf gpu utilization is playing 98-100, but ZM has all GPU locked on 100%
And I had a wierd problem with ZM, I disconnect network, and ZM was only showing "Slow Network" for over 15 minutes.
Dont know where it gets the works to keep all gpus at full 100%

That is an interesting observation on CPU usage so I looked into mine. I am at 38% on a 7x1070 GPU rig with the piddly little Celeron G3930 CPU running ZM with telemetry option [--telemetry=$IPW:42000]. I have never paid any attention to CPU utilization at all on my nvOC based miners because they are obviously dedicated to mining and I have not noticed sluggishness that would cause me to look into it.

Thank you so much for your quick reply, i was able to modify settings just before my trip.

It seems to work well on all my rigs.

Hello,

I am trying to find out which GPU is crashing ethminer (I am mining ETH and I am tuning the individual overclocking for each card), and for this I would like to check the ethminer log files.
Do I need to just look at the Ubuntu System logs or do I need to look for a specific log file?

I tried to collect the output of ethminer by editing 3main and appending  > ~/ethminerlog.log to the line invoking ethminer, but the output is not redirected to the file.

Any idea? how to do this?

Cheers

Assuming your miner is launched with the "screen" command like most, you should be able to change that command to add the L flag for logging:

screen -dmS miner ....
to
screen -dmSL miner ....

should do the trick. I haven't done it but apparently it will write a file named 'screenlog.0'.

Hope this helps.
