Optiminer/Equihash 2.1.0 supporting Zcash, Bitcoin Gold, Minexcoin, Zero..

Bad news: Your CPU is likely too slow to fully unleash the mining powers of all your GPUs.

The next version of optiminer will throttle the GPUs when it detects that the CPU cannot validate all the solutions found (there is no point in producing more solutions on the GPUs than the CPU can consume).

Is validating shares on CPU really necessary?

ps: it seems --pci-mode 0 solved my crash/hang problem.

Isn´t GTXTitanZ supported, yet?
I´ve got this error: "ptxas fatal   : SM version specified by .target is higher than default SM version assumed"
Is there a way to mine with GTXTitanZ in the future?
The cards are old, but still very good.

Validating is not fully correct. Actually the most work is computing the sha256d of the resulting solution to see if it is below the diff target. This could of course also be done on the GPU. Maybe in a future version. Switching to CUDA for Nvidia cards seems more important.

Makes sense.

One more question: can you please explain what --pci-mode actually does? I have no idea. -h doesn't say much about it, except that I can pick mode 0,1,2 or 3.

It did not help me. The system is constantly frozen after about 5 minutes approx. I have a powerful configuration and the processor is not a problem: ASUS ROG STRIX Z270F GAMING, i7 7700T 2.9 - 3.8 GHz + OC 34%, 32 Gb DDR4 RAM (2 x 16 Gb Corsair 3000 MHz,cl15 ).

Hi.

I'm using this miner but when I run it, I have this message :

./optiminer-equihash: /usr/local/cuda-8.0/targets/x86_64-linux/lib/libOpenCL.so.1: no version information available (required by ./optiminer-equihash)

As this miner is already compiled, do I have to install some dependencies ?

Thanks.

THANK YOU!!! but still cpu is used on 100% (but its only 2core nonHT, so stock cooler is enough ... i hope)

wierd ... i just installed linux then update then aditional drivers (maybe update again?) and run miner, nothing else and it works normaly

this should install openCL:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ocl-icd-opencl-dev

[mikebzh44]

I will give a try.

I'm not running a standard version but this optimized one for NVidia :

https://github.com/Cyclenerd/ethereum_nvidia_miner

Didn't want to lose time by searching how to install NVidia drivers and other stuff

[kriptom]

Does Minexcoin dig up? I wonder how much he earns. Zcash has a lot of difficulty.

zec, zen, smart ... same income per card (nvidia)

Unbelievable, I've done all this and again the system freezes. Also, I have a super powerful mining machine. Stable mining is obviously a secret that no one will discover. This is my mine_mnx.sh file:

export GPU_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1

  ./optiminer-equihash -s eu.minexpool.nl:3333 -u XBcozpshjc4LMgKQCgbu9fbdw9a1JrYeYY.Minex4 -p 4 --pci-mode 1 -a equihash96_5 -i 256   (--pci-mode 0 me immediately freeze the system  - for minut - 2 )

me too 

[yokosan]

mining minexcoin I want to do. who is there? which devices more compatible and more efficiency. I'll do mining for the first time. can you show me a road map?

[Cobra9100]

When there is a version under Windows, I cannot wait, it's unfair

[PotatoM12]

Is it ok to mine Bitcoin Gold?

Yes.
