Another algorithm will toogle to ASIC minning :-(

https://www.asicminervalue.com/miners/dayun/zig-z1

There is not a month that passes without the minning of a new algo is compatible with ASICS chips.

Here are some more corners that will go into the ASICS section of WTM:

Beauty of GPU mining is that you can mine whatever algo is currently profitable.
ASIC's story is different - it can mine only one and if you extremely lucky it will reach break even.
From my personal experience, most likely ASIC investment will end up with loss

I understand but i think all GPU rigs are not profitable since begenning of september 2018 or before. ANd if each algo become ASIC compatible, GPU minning will die soon. For sure.

GPU minnin don't become more profitable because ASIC minng isn't profitable.

ALl GPU rigs with 1080 Ti cards are not profitables anymore. So GPU rigs with GPu under theses 1080, are not too.

Execpt if you don't pay your électricity that become more and more costly because of ecologist renewables that are paid by consummers and tax payers.

Thank you guys for your heavy work and new nvOC 19-2.1 releas!!!
Been trying to mine MONA with cryptodrege but it always under load half of GPU in the rig
have to switch to tpccminer
Can anyone help?

Try change the intensity valid values for CryptoDredge are 1 to 6

Thank man it works!
Installed nvOC with Ubuntu 18.04 on 10x1070 rig and 13x1080. 10x1070 works perfect (except screensaver, can't disable it)
But on 13x1080 it freezes rig. I managed to start one time but I've started TPccminer with no OC,
later restart wtih gpu custom OC and later restarted with CryptoDredge. After reboot it has stopped to work and
I rolled back to 16.04 version which works no problem.

18.04 is experimental
nvidia-396 installed on 18.04 is short lived version and may have some problems too.
I recommend 16.04 for production rigs.

I will make a new ubuntu 16.04 image as soon as the new long live nvidia-driver for cuda 9.2 released.

I have this error when I want to mine XMR:

Code:

/home/m1/NVOC/mining/0miner: line 159: xmr-stak_VERSION: bad substitution
/home/m1/NVOC/mining/0miner: line 179: xmr-stak_VERSION: bad substitution

Are you sure you used the correct name? because the variable is pointed to "xmr-stak_VERSION" but it should be "XMR_Stak_VERSION"

Ok, i tried again with you code and finally, it's Ok.

But i had this code for memory huge page like this :

## CRYPTONIGHTV7
elif [[ $ALGO == CRYPTONIGHTV7 || $ALGO == CRYPTONIGHTHEAVY ]];
then
# Large memory page support
sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=128
# Remove nvidia.txt if cards count changed
  if [ -f ~/nvidia.txt ]
  then
    if [ "$(grep -c "// gpu:" ~/nvidia.txt)" != "$(nvidia-smi -i 0 --query-gpu=count --format=csv,noheader,nounits)" ]
    then
      rm ~/nvidia.txt
    fi
  fi
# Change verbosity to show hashrate in output log
  if [ -f ~/config.txt ]
  then
    if grep -q '"verbose_level" : 3' ~/config.txt
    then
      sed -i 's/"verbose_level" : 3/"verbose_level" : 4/g' ~/config.txt
    fi
  fi
  if [[ $ALGO == "CRYPTONIGHTV7" ]]
  
  then
    UCCALGO="--currency monero7"
  elif [[ $ALGO == "CRYPTONIGHTHEAVY" ]]
  then
    UCCALGO="-a cryptonight-heavy"
  fi
   HCD=${NVOC}/miners/XMR_Stak/"${!xversion}"/xmr-stak
  eval $LAUNCH $HCD  $UCCALGO --noCPU --noAMD -o "${!xpool}":"${!xport}" -u "${!xaddr}" -p "$MINER_PWD" -i 0

Thanks
Added huge page support for xmr-stak to 0miner

btw trying to mine ETH with my 13x1080
somehow it generate lots of video noise and freezes this rig up.
Is anyone has similar problem and how to fix it?

What do you mean by video noise?
Please post nvOC report output.

V Noise - screen frozen and on screen like a snow flakes...

Lukely, now BTG more profitable to mine so I switched from ethash to zhush
and problem disappeared

May be too much OC on that algo

I have this message me too. I think it's a problem with systemd name resolution. I looked from /etc/resolv.conf file and an explanation is given about that.
But i don't understand how their new name resolution works.

If someone can explain in few words what ubuntu changed in their 18.04 LTS about DNS, you are welcome.

found fix:

just run this: xhost +si:localuser:root

this will add user to root(sudo GUI + terminal)

So i installed the new beta Ubuntu 18.

I get this error.

I had this error  before in the last version, that's why i did the beta.


This prob is not related(Doe's it for every GPU):

Restoring xorg may solve the problem

How can i set OhGodAnETHlargmentPill to the one 1080 card ? or it doesn't matter ?

[bobers]

Hi, i have just 47mH with my 1080Ti with OhGodAnETHlargmentPill, Can someone share setting to get 53-55 Mh please?

[bobers]

How can i set OhGodAnETHlargmentPill to the one 1080 card ? or it doesn't matter ?

Just set it to yes in 1bash


Code:
OhGodAnETHlargementPill="NO"
change to:
Code:
OhGodAnETHlargementPill="YES"

This release introduce the cryptonight_v8 POW of the upcoming Monero fork on 18th Oct 2018. Use the currency setting monero for automatic switching on the next fork.

Xmr-stak supports all CUDA devices form the last 8 years (Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell, Pascal, Volta, Turing).
You can now use with AMD Rocm 1.9.X.

Config files from 2.4.X are NOT compatible to this release.

A special thank you goes to @SChernykh for his great help with the new Monero POW algorithm and all the optimizations he provided.

We would like to thank the community for their tests and contributions to xmr-stak.

Hi!

Has been trying to mine RVN (x16r) with suprnova few times
but for some reason ZENEMYminer doesn't start at all.
 
Can anyone help with it?
