[ANN]Bminer: a fast Equihash/Ethash/Cuckaroo29z miner for AMD/NVIDIA GPUs 16.4.9

[george2019]

well nicehash also added GrinCuckaroo29, GrinCuckatoo31 and Lyra2REv3 algos https://www.nicehash.com/algorithm i will try them later, after i get another 3 grin at f2pool

Dont bother .... none of the available miners work with Nicehash yet .
Here is info for the developer to can fix it fast for his one :

Please, deers, die with your nicehash

My Mining results on Grin

Windows 10
Bminer 14.1
Evga 2080 xc ultra

Here are my max stable overclocks, anything higher than these tends to be unstable or crashes, best to treat these like 1080 ti 1080 gtx
when overclocking instead of the 1070 or 1070 ti.

70 TDP, +125 core clock, + 175 memory clock  Results = 7.38 G/s Fidelity 1.03   145-155W

Overall I am impressed with the 2080 rtx when mining grin

If I use +150 core clock and +200 memory clock i will eventually get some cuda errors and it tries to reconnect (unstable setting)
If i use +200 core clock and +225 memory clock I get instant miner died crash

I noticed the Wattage fluctuates a bit 140-160W.  I wonder if this is due to nvidia drivers or the miner or if that is somewhat normal

Please, die without nicehash and shut up, please

Author when cuckaroo29 and cuckaroo31 nicehash support would be added?
On cuckaroo29 receive error from miner that requsted solver cuckaroo29 not found...

Does this miner support amd mining beam

[pp55]

Does this miner support amd mining beam

Yes

well i tested latest 14.1.0 build on my rig and f2pool 24 hour hashrate dropped around 1g/sec, so it's better to stay on 14.0 build, cpu usage is quite big on both builds, but 14.1.0 has around 5-8% less cpu usage than previous build

I'm testing on f2pool today as well. How is 14.0 version for hash power versus the latest 13. version?

Why doesn't Bminer see AMD cards in multi-rig? I got 2 furies and 6 gtx10-series in a rig and when I start miner it will only see nvidia cards? Do I need to add something to config?

If you want to mine Grin, then keep in mind it does not work mining GRIN with AMD cards.

No, I was going to mine beam

Upd: k, I've added -devices amd:01 and miner said it couldn't find correct kernel.

[liomojo1]

Still very high cpu usage with 7 gpus and celeron 95% cpu and in task manager there are system 50% and bminer 35% , but this system appears only after bminer starts.

[webgkv]

NH has updated stratum for grincuckaroo29 , now Bminer report about like this:

"invalid nonce, not compatible with nicehash "

Gminer 1.28 works correctly with new stratum (but it's work only for 8Gb cards or requires win7 for 6Gb cards)

So when developers can upgrade Bminer or maybe someone has a solution at the moment?

[Elange]

Hi,

can anyone please share a connection string for BMiner to mine BEAM on nicehash (Linux)?

tried:

bminer -uri beam://******************************.RIG07:x@beam.eu.nicehash.com:3370 -max-temperature 72

I get "miner died". (hope they're not talking about my future)


bminer -uri beam+ssl://******************************.RIG07:x@beam.eu.nicehash.com:3370 -max-temperature 72

I get "stream truncated".

Any ideas, please?

[slim87]

Is AMD support for GRIN planned already or will this never be supported?

[bitcoinminer0319]

i am wondering if u can make 1050ti 4gb work with grin and beam also.

thank you

Working bat file for Nicehash Beamfor AMD cards :

@echo OFF
REM Change the following address to your BEAM addr.
SET ADDRESS=32cNmMwP91fUi1AJ667vq6WVyiw84M6KuV
SET USERNAME=%ADDRESS%.w
SET POOL=beam.usa.nicehash.com:3370
SET SCHEME=beam
START "Bminer: When Crypto-mining Made Fast" bminer.exe -devices amd:0,amd:1,amd:2,amd:3 -uri %SCHEME%://%USERNAME%@%POOL% -api 127.0.0.1:1880

amd:0,amd:1, - you need to specify each card in Riga

well i made some more testing VS gminer 1.30 and f2pool gives quite big drop of hashrate using gminer with 28.1g/sec hashrate vs only 26.8g.sec actual hashrates that bminer 14.0 has, maybe it's because this setting:

Improved the miner fidelity by 8%-10%. You will not see big local difference but you will see roughly 10% higher speed on the pool side.

here's result :

i will test it further in longer periods, it's quite interesting result, if this fidelity option really works (i'm not quite sure yet whether gminer also has it or not) i will receive higher earnings than gminer with 28g/sec hashrate, with gminer there's no rejected shares, but teamviewer works slower with gminer, it also uses around 32gb pagefile

After mining GRIN for about 1 1/2 weeks with bminer, I've consistently had higher hashrates on F2pool than has been shown on the miner. I thought it might be an outlier *luck* result, but it has held true the whole time on both my 1080Rig (1080Ti x2 + 1080 x2) on GRIN-31 part of the time and GRIN-29 the rest of the time and on my P106Rig (P106-100 x6) on GRIN-29 the whole time. I've also seen that going from version 13.2 to 14.1 decreased rejects from ~1.8% to ~1.3% (again on F2pool). I've tried sparkpool and grinmint for a few days with different rigs and have had much poorer results, with sparkpool's reject rate hovering above 4.5% now (it was over 5% on v 13.2). Not sure what to make of all that except to keep using bminer on F2pool.

[george2019]

i tested gminer 1.30 and f2pool showed less average hashrate after few hours of mining, i think it's because this bminer setting:

Improved the miner fidelity by 8%-10%. You will not see big local difference but you will see roughly 10% higher speed on the pool side.
gminer doesn't uses this tweak

https://i.imgur.com/TaG86Wm.png

so bminer 14.0 has higher recorded f2pool hashrate, i will countinue using bminer at the moment it has highest recorded pool hashrate for grin c29 algo than any other miner, even if miner itself shows otherwise
