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

[CryptAtomeTrader44]

Nice android app for auto switchers who mine on MiningPoolHub: MPH Stats
Its great, shows all your workers in 1 page, no need to scroll through all mph web site to find out your workers ...

Info:

Code:

Load your Mining Pool Hub balances page and view it as a single Crypto Currency or FIAT currency.
Supported base currencies:
FIAT: USD, CAD, GBP, EUR
Crypto: BTC, ETH, LTC, XMR

The amount you'll see in the app is the sum of your balance, unconfirmed balance, auto-exchange, unconfirmed auto-exchange and on exchange.

Also monitor your workers, the coin each worker mine and the current hash rate.

Indeed. Best than the one i used before.

Thanks.

Good afternoon!

I have a problem that users previously described - at the start of the computer the error XORG Problem detected (reboot endlessly)

I inserted the cable into the video card, not the motherboard.
Tried without a cable - just log in to ssh, at the command bash 1bash neither errors, nor start.

What's the matter?

If you are in nvOC v0019-2.0 please run and post output of

Code:

~/nvOC report

This file “nvOC” i don’t search in my OS, and this command not working
But i downloading last version of OS from official site.

St now i start grep command with “nvOC”, wait results

Hi all! My rig has yet to be built but reading about the full headless mode for P106_100 made me think on this aspect of my project I don't resolved yet. Does nvOC also supports full headless mode for other nvidia cards with video outputs? I mean, can I run nvOC on a rig made only of 1070s without a monitor attached after all setup is completed?

Hi LuKePicci,

Yes, you can! I have 4 rigs running with nvOC and no any monitor attached.
All I need is SSH  

Thank you for your confirmation, but should I enable the option for P106_100_FULL_HEADLESS_MODE even if my gpus are 1070s? If yes, should it be enabled only when booting with no monitor attached or even while troubleshooting/installing with a monitor connected (to the primary nvidia gpu and not to the iGPU as written in the op)?

[bumbu100]

I just received the new P104-100 GPU (sample).
Should i use settings for P106?
I will tell you my rates soon.

Hello,
Quick linux related question.
If I connect through SSH to a rig and I launch a script, the process get killed when I terminate the SSH session.
Is there a way to launch the script in a way that the process doesn't terminate when I close the session, and how can I reconnect to the process in a subsequent SSH session?

You can use screen

Yup, We should rename it in next update as NameTaken suggested

If your first boot is with a monitor attached to your 1070 or any card with monitor output you dont need full headless. Attach monitor with HDMI and run the OS as normal and then remove HDMI. You can boot, reboot, .... without cable attached.

Do we need to install cuda 9 to run compiled under cuda 9?

It's a question, I do not know. I only notice that you reproduce what Klaust says and that I do not have this version.

Otherwise you do not answer my other question: How many KH earned compared to the previous version
I'm sorry, but each last version does not necessarily bring additional hashrate therefore, so I want to update but if it does not approve of me, I see no reason to update.

You have the 8.17 version, I just updated to 8.19 and don't remember how much was old hash rate.

WTM says 500 kh/s for  neoscrypt on 1060

My previous remarks about CUDA9 in KTccminer used instead of CUDA8 was quite justified, and I learned it at my depend :
I had theses errors while minning GBX

/home/m1/KTccminer/ccminer: error while loading shared libraries: libcudart.so.9.1: can not open shared object file
/home/m1/KTccminer/ccminer: error while loading shared libraries: libcudart.so.9.1: can not open shared object file

I note that you have not added GBX or XVG in 0miner and / or 1bash. I made the updates that you proposed and I found that these coins command lines had been erased from my file 0miner.

By the way, I tried your modifications to add nicehash to my coins selection in WTM switches and they do not seem to work on my miner.
When wtm_switch determines that nice-nescrypt is in the first place, in the terminal, the 3main script shows me an empty space instead of the command that should launch the miner neosscrypt KTccminer (I only added this nicehash nescrypt switch)

To summarize :
1 / KTccminer 8.17 on cuda 8 mine GBX very well
Thank you in advance for indicating me the commands to use to install CUDA9 on my system an make KTccminer 8-19 fully operationnal

2 / My 0miner file has been updated by deleting lines instead of ONLY adding them necessary as for the 1bash file

3 / NICE-NEOSCRYPT does not seem to work in WTM selection

I am trying to re-check all the commands in the file 0miner and put it in shape for more readability.If this file is more than 1400 lines, and so it will take me a lot of time...


EDIT :
For point 3 => I advise to verify some if loops in entire 0miner script file. I 've found some fi missing. By puting all lines in shape, i've found this missing "fi" in some "if" conditionnals loops. I don't note where, so you have to verify at least thos for adding nicehash in WTM.

NB : Be carefull because nicehash give us a new BTC address wallet, so IT'S NOT YOUR REAL BTC address wallet that you have to put in 1bash for ZPOOL autoconvert (for example).

For point 2 : You can follow my links here :
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.msg27669739#msg27669739

For point 1, i'm waiting the future nvOC version of ours super coders papampi, leenoox, stubo, and all others that propose some improvments and débugging.

My search nvOC dont get results, sorry.
What i can get this command (~/nvOC report)

My nvos write - xorg problem detected, and reboot again and again

[Reinars]

Hey guys!
I had a question : Is there any possibility you could guide me through - How can I mine GoByte(GBX)?
I hope someone can help me 

[UberDaemon]

Happy Sunday to you, nvOC folks!  Long time no chat (I'm still on v017 over here, and haven't visited the thread in months since things have been running rock solid for me).

Is anyone out there using an Asus Z270-A (or Z270-AR) with 8-9 GPUs?  I'm running one of each mobos at the moment, with each rig hosting 7 GPUs (1070s).  I'm entertaining the idea of adding 2 more GPUs per rig using m.2 NGFF to PCI-E x4 adapters.  Is anyone out there running 9 GPUs on one of these boards, and if so which adapter make/model are you using?  Any pointers/thing to watch out for?  How stable has it been?

Thanks in advance.

Speaking of stability: OP, one of my rigs was up for 2 months straight.  nvOC has been working out exceedingly well for me.  Thanks once again for all your hard work!

Don't quote me on this but I think xorg problem refers to you booting using your onboard video rather than the graphics card.. you should use PEG not IGD.

The question was asked much, much earlier in this thread but I saw no answer:

How do you set up ETN (Electroneum) to mine in nvOC?
I tried it using the ETN syntax in v0019-2.0.0003 but I received lots of errors and the system finally shutdown.

Hello,
I know it's a question that has been already debated quite extensively, but considering the latest versions:
If I am mining Ethash (specifically Ethereum), is there any performance difference between Claymore and Ethminer?
No matter how I test both, I cannot see any noticeable difference other than the developer fee for Claymore.
What is your opinion?

[MassDestruction]

Hey everyone. I'm having an issue. My miner tends to reset on me, and when it does it seems like the operating system gets into a bad state, and can't be restarted again unless I rewrite the storage device with a fresh copy of nvoc. Here is information on my miner

PSU: Corsair AX860
Motherboard: Biostar TB250 Pro (has 12x PCIE slots)
Video Cards: 5 GTX 1060s and 1 1050 TI
Storage: SanDisk 120 GB connected via StarTech USB 3.0 to 2.5 Sata HDD/SSD cable
Processor: i5 6600k with Hyper 212 cooler(to be replaced soon with G3900 with stock cooler)
Ram: 16GB
Current Power Draw: 690 watts

Here are shots of the miner in case anyone is interested.

I'm currently mining ETH, and I'm using the default clocks in the oneBash. Which is 100 for the core, and 100 for the memory.

During my debugging process while trying to figure out what was going on I set the bios to use integrated graphics, and plugged my monitor into the integrated graphics port on the mother board. I was able to pick this up on screen.
https://imgur.com/61g5FYP

Usually when i do this the miner will boot loop(A normal quirk for the TB250). So I'm guessing this is related to the problem I have, but I'm not sure how to move on from here

That's really strange ...

You should not connect your monitor to IGD, disable IGD in bios and connect monitor to the graphic card on main PCIe 16x.
Since you have 5x1060 and 1x1050, connect your 1050 to that slot so it  become GPU0 for easier settings in individual power and oc.
When using mix cards make sure to set the correct values for each card with individual power limit, and oc

You can find your GPUs  by running this if you are on v0019-2.0

Code:

./nvOC gpumap

Why connect SSD with USB converter cable? connect it directly with sata cable and see how it goes.
How you connect riser powers?  golden rule is 2 risers for each cable.
