1080Ti Specific - Best mining option

[Rashkae]

Yeah I created a .txt file and then changed the extension to a .bat file.

Oh alright, I think the first part is what I'm missing. Thanks.

Give it a try and let me know, I can still help before I go sleep.

FYI, if you look at blocksuckernation website, it says you need to specify the stratum as:

-o stratum+tcp://old.blocksuckernation.com:<PORT>

So your file needs to be:


ccminer -a nist5 -o stratum+tcp://old.blocksuckernation.com:3833 -u WALLET ADDRESS -p c=BWK
pause


(give that a try in case you get errors)

I apologize as I made a major screw up. I thought I had extracted the bulwark ccminer but it was the monero ccminer. Now that I fixed that, the command works BUT I am unable to connect to the pool. Always get an error stratum connection failed and it retries every 30 seconds to no avail. No antivirus. Could it be the Windows Firewall?

I don't run a pool. I'm just trying to help.

Possible, better check it and make sure you add an exception rule for the miner.

Did you check the URL strings too? I believe you should add a "old." to the start of the URL

I'm also assuming you want payout in BWK instead of direct BTC conversion.

I added an exception and even attempted to briefly disable the Firewall but nothing. I also tried with and without "old" at the beginning of the address string and nothing. I also attempted with -o stratum+tcp://nist5.blocksuckernation.com:5003 and the stratum_subscribe always times out.

Then it may be the pool crapping itself.

Here's my .bat file for BSOD, just change the BWK address to yours:

ccminer -a nist5 -o stratum+tcp://pool.bsod.pw:3834 -u bP5ZCkLNRzjJmpjb5RDLMkWtdD1hRihtjW -p c=BWK

BWK pools seem to have been iffy for weeks now :/  not sure if they just getting greedy and snagging blocks here and there, or if they getting Dossed, but it sux

BWK is on hashrefinery but it's a direct to BTC pool - I think you can request BWK payouts though.

How can BWK pools be iffy "for weeks" if it only came out Dec 2?

But yeah, they're really unstable. I'll switch back to ZCoin soon.

Bulwark pools got DDOS every day. So it can be not stable/

Was a good run for a few days mining bulwark shit coin (this must be the worst name ever) but I stopped mining it since profitablity has gone down. There are other coins with almost the same profit but with a much brighter future.

Bulwark is probably worth less then $1 in a couple of days.

Care to shed some light?

do u have wattmeter? 2 1080tis with such TDP will use about 400-500W max. +100-150W motherboard+CPU. Power supply looks nice too, but to test - remove 1 card and start mining without another changes.

I'm mining lyra2z and killawatt said around 450w power draw for the whole system with both GPU running.

One of the two GPU tested fine and ran yesterday afternoon and all night.  I have removed it and put the other back in.  Testing that one now.  If it tests OK then I may have to try a power supply.  I can get a evga 850w gold for 149$ off amazon to try.

It`s really strange. U have good power supply and with such usage - u are using just about a half from it nominal power. But I don`t have any ideas, what else can doesnt work. Just to try different PCI ports at motherboard.

do you use sniff dogs one? for me its so unstable I dropped it

Both GPU test fine by themselves.  The system will mine 24/7 no problem with just one.

I have a power supply on the way to test with over the weekend.  If that doesn't solve the issue then not much else to try but replacing the motherboard.
