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

[Vargor]

Hi All,

First off all would like to thank all that are involved in creating nvOC, seems like an awesome piece of software!!

I have just started to use nvOC and after a few minutes of mining the entire system crashes and only a reboot will work.

I am using the Asus B250 mining expert with 13 1080ti's which I have been using without any issues on Ubuntu 16.0.4 for the last few months, however when I try nvOC on the same hardware setup the mining crashes after a few minutes.

I have enabled CSM in the BIOS and also plugged in the monitor to the 16pci GPU.

I have also tried disabling some of options on the 1bash file which I do not need.

So I can carry out further fault finding can someone please advise how I can select only certain GPU's to mine?

Also is there a way to stop terminal from auto-mining when it is opened so I can enter other commands and use terminal as normal?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance!!!

Which version of nvoc have you installed? Are you running on latest 19-2.0 Community Release?

The 19-2.0 has option in 1bash to enable or disable auto-mining:

Code:

AUTO_START_MINER="YES"

Change that to NO

19-2.0 has a lot of bug fixes from previous versions.
If you are running 19-2.0 and still experience problems, open guake terminal with F12 and run

Code:

./nvOC report

And post the report here

Thanks, I was using 19-1.4 but will try version 19-2.0 now.

Is there a way to mine only certain gpu's?

Is there a way to mine only certain gpu's?

There is no built-in option to select particular gpu's only yet. The default scripts select all available Gpu's.

For example you could use ETH_EXTENSION_ARGUMENTS="" and supply extra arguments for Claymore miner (consult claymore how to select gpu's), but if you want to mine ethash with gpu's 0-3 and equihash with gpu's 4-7 You would need to supply appropriate arguments to both miners involved and you will need to use individual PL, Core and Mem settings because different algos require different settings.

Hopefully we will implement some simpler settings for selecting particular cards, dual/triple miners and algos in future versions of nvoc

Dont forget if you chose to mine with some GPUs for example in ethminer dont mine with GPU 1 :
 

Code:

 ETH_EXTENSION_ARGUMENTS=" --cuda-devices 0  2 3 4 5 6" 

You should make some change in watchdog or disable it so it wont catch low utilization.
For example if you disable one GPU, open 5watchdog and find this line

Code:

  if [ $NUM_GPU_BLW_THRSHLD -gt 0 ]

if you disable 1 card change 0 to 1, if you disable 2 cards, change it to 2, it will send some warning but will not restart miner.

I'm mining ZCoin (lyra2z) and would like to add custom intensity of 20 instead of default which is set somewhere to 17.
For some other altcoins intensity can be adjusted right in the bash file but I can't do that for Zcoin/lyra2.
Can someone please tell me what file to edit and where to put custom intensity?

In 0miner find zcoin and add intensity like this :

Code:

if [ $COIN == "ZCOIN" ]
then
  HCD='/home/m1/TPccminer/ccminer'
  ADDR="$ZCOIN_ADDRESS.$ZCOIN_WORKER"
  screen -dmSL miner $HCD -a lyra2z -o stratum+tcp://$ZCOIN_POOL:$ZCOIN_PORT -u $ADDR -p $MINER_PWD $ZCOIN_INTENSITY
fi

And in 1bash:

Code:

# XZC or ZCOIN  ## No Need to add stratum+tcp:// to server address
ZCOIN_WORKER="$WORKERNAME"
ZCOIN_ADDRESS="replace_with_your_address"
ZCOIN_POOL="xzc.suprnova.cc"
ZCOIN_PORT="1569"
ZCOIN_INTENSITY="20"

In 0miner find zcoin and add intensity like this :

Thanks papampi for your help, if I am using ZM miner which file do I need to amend to specify the GPU's to mine?

You should set it with zm opts:

Code:

ZM_OPTS="  --dev 0 2 3 4 5"

Then either set miner watchdog to no or make the change as I said earlier

Have anyone here mining raven coin yet. I wondering if it possible to run cc miner on nvoc.

Yes we have already added instructions for adding RAVEN coin and getting the ccminer for it, it uses MSFT ccminer.

You can get most of the ccminers available in the market on nvOC, if there isn't one on the list we will provide instructions how to get it and how to build it as well.

See the below post which explains more in detail;

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.msg31430936#msg31430936

Where can I find instruction on how to add raven coin on nvoc 19.2 and get msftccminer

You can find instructions here for most of the new coins bruv.

https://github.com/damNmad/nvOC_testing_repo/tree/damNmad

I add them almost instantly (haven't found good coins recently) if I find the good ones, and also based on request as well.


To get the MSFTccminer, use papampi's instructions from here

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.msg29774627#msg29774627

You can almost get every miner from the above posted instructions and compile it on your RIG.

Let us know if you need any help.

[infowire]

Anybody else have any suggestions, i'm running around in circles, i pretty sure its the 1080 cards that makes my rig restart.  Set it to default and i'm going to wait 24hrs, will see what happens... The log is different every time, so no help from that.

[papampi]

Unless i'm going crazy, is everyone else having issues with whattomine.  I get a bad json error on the switcher.  This isn't just effecting nvoc, my windows rigs with smartmine have the same thing happening.

whattomine.com was down.

Happy Persian New Year.

May everyday of the new year glow with new cheer and happiness for you all.

I have been looking at how well I could be doing using the WTM switcher system here. I did quite a long data set with 4 coins listed  ETH ETC ZEC and BCG as my choices. At first there was quite a lot of switching being done. But lately with the last blood bath, ETH has stayed at the top of the list followed with ETC and then ZEC. BTG being the low dog on the block.

I was wondering how well others have been doing in the other coin arenas. I would love to hear which coins you do and why. After all my testing I have decided to just leave the rigs on ETH and see how I fare out. So far, I have done well. This is of course  just my direction to go. There are so many to choose from any more it boggles the mind.
 
All my miners are now GTX1060 except one which is a GTX1050TI and my first one. As a side, all the GTX1060 3G cards have went south under the strain. GRINS

Can you build in support for ethcontrol from ethmonitoring.com?

If you are experiencing problems creating DAG when mining ETH on GTX1060 3GB cards add this in the extra arguments for Claymore

Code:

-eres 0

It might help for a while.

I'm expériencing somme problems with télégram bot.

I don't recieved any messages since 2 or 3 days. Only one messages when i restarted miner yesterday at 18h27.

Is anyone else have the same proboem than me ? Or can someone help me to diagnose ?

I'm currently using papampi telegram choice in 1Bash.
