I have a rig that is crashing every 3 to 4 hours and I cannot pinpoint the reason why.
The crash affects somehow the ethernet interface (or maybe the TCP/IP stack), and the rig becomes unreachable by ssh and doesn't respond to pings.
It basically needs to be reset manually. This is quite annoying as I live several hours away from where I have the rigs.

Is there a way on how to investigate the crash and how to find a solution?

When rig become unreachable by ssh, can you login to desktop or local terminal by ctrl+alt+f1 ?
Or the rig is completely frozen?

I had a problem last week with a dual power rig, the dual psu adapter was making problems and was causing the rig to full freeze, no ssh, no desktop, no local terminal ... all freeze.
Changed adapter and it fixed.

Last time that this happened, I didn't try to login to desktop and I just reboted the rig. But this time I am going to try.
The rig is powered by a single 1200w supply.

ComputerGenie, do we have to understand that you do not mine in pool?

[fk1]

Hey guys,

because of nicehash hack, I just switched over to salfters MPH switcher.

I just dont get one thing: ATM on whattomine.com it says most profitable Coin for 8x 1060 rig is Vertcoin, about 25usd/day
In my rig under current-profit it says: feathercoin(neoscrypt): 6.68usd/day is most profitable

Am I doing it wrong??

[ComputerGenie]

ComputerGenie, do we have to understand that you do not mine in pool?

As a general rule, I rarely mine in a public pool with ASICs and never do with my GPUs.

Thus you mine alone with a big ASIC FARM, if not, i don't understand, and i'm curious about your gloabl profitability.

You don't have choices on MPH that you can have with papampi WTM_Switcher. it is precisely the interest of the WTM_Switcher

Moreover, if MPH is honest, I still prefer to place myself my sales orders on Bittrex. self-selling or selling on threshold depending on the value of the coins I chose to mine.

I strongly recommend WTM_SWITCHER instead of Scott Alfter's script.
This script was used by Papampi and damnmad to develop theirs, by the way.

Of course, WTM does not allow to undermine every coins we want but I think it would be the same with Coinwarz for example. Except that CoinWarz charges the query package according to the intensity of them (minutes, 5 min, or hours if i remember correctly).
I think it does not take much to papamapi and damnmad  scripts so that it also works on coinwarz, but of course we would have to pay coinwarz for it to work well and so, we must also have some computing power has available for this to be profitable.

Remember, WTM lists the most profitable areas to mine compared to ETH mining.

And then, Fredeq who happens to read from time to time this thread, and responsible / creator of the WTM project, regularly adds platforms and coins to his site.

[glassofmining]

I'm having some trouble setting up the papampi_WTM_Auto_Switch with something like zpool. I want it to switch to a profitable coin, but only use pools that pay in BTC. Should I just set individual coin pools to a zpool equivalent, or is there a more elegant method?

You can set your coin pools to what ever you like, then when it switches it uses those pools
I use MPH for all my switch coins and auto exchange to btc in MPH settings page.

You can use zpool for your coin pools and then it switches between them.

Right, I guess what I meant is that the papampi switcher doesn't seem to support zpool's settings format. MPH switcher doesn't seem to support lyra2rev. I'm sure with some modifications to 3main they could support those, but I was hoping for a simpler solution. I used to use salfter's nicehash switcher, but with NICEHASH down I'm just looking to recreate that setup with different pools.

Also, what exactly does the papampi switcher do differently than the salfter switchers? I only just updated from v19 to 19.4 last night so I haven't really figured out the differences yet.

Try ASccminer,
I had problems with TP, SP, KT, KX, ...
Alexis ccminer gives much more hash rate, but it takes time to fully utilize all GPUs, you should raise sleep time in watchdog or you will get into restart miner loop.
On my 12 cards it takes over 2 minutes untill all cards get fully utilize

Also I think its better to lower watchdog threshold too, ccminers keep droping below 90 and it can cause restart miner too

Thanks.  I'll give Alexis ccminer a shot.  Btw, I'm running Stubo's modified watchdog script.

Is it the one with my dynamic sleep time?
If not raise it for AS

I switched all my rigs over to AS and they are now running stable! (once I lowered core clocks about 20 ticks from where they were).  Even the 1060 3GB is running now.  And I'm getting much better hashrates than with ccminer.  So win win for sure.

I don't think I'm running the watchdog with dynamic sleep time.  If any of the rigs fall over, I'll raise the sleep time a bit.

Thanks!

Hey crazydane, I understan you solved the problem you had by switching the miner but if you have some spare time could you please check this and report back to help the development:

1. Revert back to your original setup that was breaking, use the same original miner

2. Add this code to 3main on the second line

Code:

sudo nvidia-smi pm 1

3. Save and restart

4. Report back

* If it doesn't resolve the problem, just delete the new line from 3main and revert back to the working miner

[crazydane]

@leenoox

I tried what you suggested but unfortunately still see the same behavior as before.  Within 60 seconds, some GPU's goes to P0 and the miner restarts.

[fk1]

Can someone share good Lyra2Rev2 settings for 1060 6gb please? No matter what I set up, miner screen gets restarted all the time and some times even the whole rig reboots. when rig reboots logfile says utilitation too low but all cards perform at least at 75%.

tried settings:

76-90w
100-120
-1200-100

Thus you mine alone with a big ASIC FARM, if not, i don't understand, and i'm curious about your gloabl profitability.

I have about 90TH in ASICs (no where near "big), and on the GPU side, I have 20 GTX180Ti units and 3 1080 units. GPU profitability is vastly higher with 50% of the income the ASICs have and less than 10% of the overhead.

So, ASIC minning is less profitable because their power consumption are more expensive by TH than MH with graphics cards ? Is it what you conclude of your expérience ?

What about theses calculations with an antminer D3 that permit to hash X11 algo.

Are there any mining scripts like the one on MPH or WTM for the ASICS allowing to switch according to the profitability? If yes, do you use them? Do you have reliable software on which OS?

I saw on WTM that there is a tab ASICs for the mining compared to BTC in sha256. The JSON must also be exploitable and it seems to me that the bitmain ASICs are sold with a LAMP server remodeled for the mining spot, right?

Lots of questions and temptations with ASICs, but not décided yet. It's a huge investment and i'm afraid for the ROI time.

What version of ccminer you using??

I was using the tpruvot version and getting very good hashrate with my 1060's compared to other ccminer forks.

If you don't have latest one, we have the instructions on how to build it too on the http://nvoc-mining-os.com/

It has the xeevan but instructions are same except the git location you use is tpruvot.

Im using V0019 and whenever I mine any coin with ccminer it will mine for a few mins and then I get an error and the miner restarts.  The error is:
 /home/m1/2unix   line30:     XXXX Terminated                                   bash '/home/m1/3main'

Is there a way to fix this?   Im going to try 19-1.3

Im running 5 Nvidea cards:   1x1080TI, 3x1080, 1x1060


Thanks in advance.

Try to change intensity

Thanks for your reply.
What should I change it to?  Higher, lower???   Is there a way to know what to set it to?
Thanks

Generally you should lower it, but you getting that error when you mine any coin using ccminer, that maybe because of something else,probably over clock??

Also try to lower your memory and core clock a little, because you are using different cards you have to set OC individually based on the index you see.

every card, every algo, every memory type has different overclock settings.

EDIT : Please refer this website for some rough idea about different OC http://krypto-mining.blogspot.co.uk/
