[ mining os ] nvoc

[papampi]

And can I ask what is this top process for?
its not gonna give miner for sure, I get kworker on top so many times

Code:

		 echo "TOP PROCESS=$(ps -e --sort=-pcpu | head -n 2|tail -1 |cut -d ':' -f 3 |cut -d ' ' -f 2)" | tee -a ${LOG_FILE} ${ALERT_LOG_FILE}

I put it in there so you could find it and ask questions about it. 

It is just additional debugging that I added back when I was trying to figure out the behavior of the watchdog and of nvOC. The watchdog and 3main are by far the most complex parts of nvOC so I find it helpful to add my own debug statements from time to time.

lol ....
Good idea

The one thing your post leaves out is the url for access which is just http://<rig_with_multiminer_page>/multiminerinfo.html.

Thank you!

Never thought I should tell how to open a web page too

I want to use this OS but not 1bash. Can I delete the config file and configure everything my own way without problem?

No.

Care to elaborate?

for some reason, I never managed to have one of the dev tell me how to stop the auto mining so I could manually start mine. There is an obvious need for that that only us seems to notice.

They never made a FAQ either even if people have always the same problems/questions over and over.

Great OS, great devs and for free but I guess it comes with caveats too even nonsense ones.

Actually a while back I was thinking that adding an option to auto start miner or not in 1bash would be a good addition, will talk with fullzero about it for sure.

I think it should be some thing like this

in 1bash add :

Code:

AUTO_START_MINER="YES" ### "YES" or "NO" to auto start miner at boot, it may cause system not to restart miner if miner stopped after manual start.

in 3main after part

Code:

if [ $LOCALorREMOTE == "REMOTE" ]
then
echo ""
echo "LAUNCHING:  Mining Process"
sleep 2
echo ""
echo "process in screen miner; attach with: screen -r miner"
echo ""
fi

and before :

Code:

if [ $COIN == "NICE_ETHASH" ]
then

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

NICEADDR="$BTC_ADDRESS.$NICE_ETHASH_WORKER"

Add :

Code:

if [  AUTO_START_MINER  ==  "YES"  ] 
then

And at the end of 3main insert this between last 2 fi

So instead of

Code:

fi

fi

It will be :

Code:

fi

elif [  AUTO_START_MINER  ==  "NO"  ] 
then
echo " Auto Start Miner Disabled"
fi 

fi

Not tested this , but it should work.
May not work if any of auto switches are set to yes

Edit :
Good suggestion by Stubo,
Dont forget to disable  IAmNotAJeep_and_Maxximus007_WATCHDOG in 1bash too

Dunno why but I was actually expecting to see a link off of the default page. When it wasn't there, I had to actually think.

Be sure to turn off watchdog in 1bash, too. Otherwise, it will keep doing what it does. Killing and restarting 3main and rebooting.

Made the suggested changes to both multiminerinfo and auto start posts.

Thanks mate.

For those who has multiple rigs and want to check all web info pages in one single page.
In one of your rigs :

Code:

sudo nano /var/www/html/multiminerinfo.html

Add :

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Multi Miner Info</title>
</head>
<body>
<iframe style="width: 49.5%; height: 500px;" src="http://Miner_External_IP_Address:Miner_1_Forwarded_Port/cgi-bin/minerinfo" align="left"  frameborder="5" > </iframe>

Very cool.  I modified (thanks Stubo) my html to pull stats directly from the miners I'm running, so I get this:

[oktoshiimin]

try to add this https://github.com/krnlx/ccminer-xevan to the version 19-1.4 
but failed at build.sh, is any one successful install ccminer-xevan? can give me some tips 

[VoskCoin]

Please add Bitcoin Gold (BTG) to nvOC. Thank you !

Easy add :

That's my BTG settings:
in 1bash add:

Code:

COIN="BTG"
PAPAMPI_WTM_AUTO_SWITCH="NO"

BTG_WORKER="$WORKERNAME"
BTG_ADDRESS="$SUPRNOVA_NAME"
BTG_POOL="btg.suprnova.cc"
BTG_PORT="8816"

and in 3main add:

Code:

if [ $COIN == "BTG" ]
then

if [ $EWBF_VERSION == "3_3" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/zec/v3_3/miner'
fi

if [ $EWBF_VERSION == "3_4" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/zec/v3_4/miner'
fi

BTGADDR="$BTG_ADDRESS.$BTG_WORKER"

if [ $ZM_or_EWBF == "ZM" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/zec/zm/5_2/zm_miner'
screen -dmSL miner $HCD --server $BTG_POOL --user $BTGADDR --pass z --port $BTG_PORT;
fi

if [ $ZM_or_EWBF == "EWBF" ]
then
screen -dmSL miner $HCD --eexit 3 --fee $EWBF_PERCENT --pec --server $BTG_POOL --user $BTGADDR --pass z --port $BTG_PORT;
fi

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

BITCOIN="theGROUND"

while [ $BITCOIN == "theGROUND" ]
do
sleep 60
done
fi

BTG is not on whattomine. So the switcher will not run.

fredeq in wtm thread said he is working on it to add it to wtm soon.

Mining pools are opening for Bitcoin Gold...
Any plans in near future to add it to wtm calculator?

Yes, will research this coin soon.

thanks to all that help continue to develop/add to/refine nvoc

Can I add BTG to nvoc 17? and if so how exactly?


also plans on adding DSTM miner?

try to add this https://github.com/krnlx/ccminer-xevan to the version 19-1.4  
but failed at build.sh, is any one successful install ccminer-xevan? can give me some tips  

Sure. I just compiled it up so I could see how to answer this question. There are a couple of tweaks that are already covered here but here they are again in a non-obfuscated fashion. I am assuming you tried running build.sh and it failed like it did for me the first time. The tweaks are:

1) The version of bn.h at /usr/local/include/openssl/bn.h is problematic so we need to put the correct one in that location. First, in a temporary directory off of /home/m1 (I use XXX in example):
       from /home/m1/XXX do a wget to get a proper openssl:
            wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.0.1g.tar.gz
            tar zxvf  openssl-1.0.1g.tar.gz
       Make backup of bh.h and copy over the new version
            sudo mv /usr/local/include/openssl/bn.h /usr/local/include/openssl/bn.h.old
            sudo cp /home/m1/XXX/openssl-1.0.1g/crypto/bn/bn.h /usr/local/include/openssl/
2) The location of the cuda libraries in configure.sh doesn't match nvOC so we need to change it:
      cd /home/m1/XXX/ccminer-xevan-master
      vi configure.sh
           change
              CUDA_CFLAGS="-O3 -lineno -Xcompiler -Wall -D_FORCE_INLINES" ./configure CXXFLAGS="-O3 $extracflags" --with-cuda=/usr/local/cuda-7.5 --with-nvml=libnvidia-ml.so
           to
              CUDA_CFLAGS="-O3 -lineno -Xcompiler -Wall -D_FORCE_INLINES" ./configure CXXFLAGS="-O3 $extracflags" --with-cuda=/usr/local/cuda --with-nvml=libnvidia-ml.so

after that, you should be able to build normally by executing build.sh

Hope this helps.

Edit: You can download the version I compiled up from here:

dstm already included since 19-1.3
I already posted a how to upgrade a few pages back

[infowire]

Is there a way if it freezes do a restart ? Or Wheres claymore located ? "reboot.bash" or "reboot.sh" need to be in that dir.

Usually you shouldn't get any freezes on nvOC, If you enable wdog it will restart miner and reboot system when needed

[gs777]

Sorry for probably "simple" question
Is it possible to mine Nicehash-Equihash in nvOC?

[crazydane]

Yes.  Just make the coin "NICE_EQUIHASH" and enter your NH BTC wallet address (BTC_ADDRESS) in the proper place in 1bash.

[gs777]

Yes.  Just make the coin "NICE_EQUIHASH" and enter your NH BTC wallet address (BTC_ADDRESS) in the proper place in 1main.

Thanks for the answer
about proper place, did you mean 3main?

[CyberGI]

Yes.  Just make the coin "NICE_EQUIHASH" and enter your NH BTC wallet address (BTC_ADDRESS) in the proper place in 1main.

Thanks for the answer

I think he meant 1bash.

[papampi]

Nice_equihash already included, just select it as coin

[366Cobra]

wow, what a cool project!!

Sorry to barge in like this.  I am only on page 7 so far and am sure the answer to my question is in the next 273 pages

Is there a way to run a script or is there a list of things to install on an existing Ubuntu LTS?
My rig is our media center and file share server, but would like to add a dozen cards or so (asus mining expert) to do some mining, as it is idle most of the time.

Thanks

I think its easier to reformat your existing ubuntu and install nvOC then install and set samba, nfs,... and any thing else you need for your media center instead of going through installing and setting up nvOC over an existing ubuntu.
