[casper77]

We're pleased to release Bminer 15.8.3.

* Improve the performance of BeamHashII algorithm.

Please see https://www.bminer.me/releases/ for more details.

Happy mining.

Any benchmarks?

1080ti - 50-52
linux, 430, cuda 10.1

Power consumption?

pl parameter is default for 1080ti - 280
real consumption not measured by me

Cannot mine beamhash2 with AMD:

Thank you for your feedback, we will continue working on it.

How can I enable a bminer (beam,BTG,ZEC............) with a mixed miner AMD and NVIDIA I am new so please be understanding. I work on ubuntu. HiveOS. for help thank you.

Hello I would like to try Bminer, but it fails to start, I get this message:

Failed to initialize the CUDA platform: CudaError: Could not initialize the NVML library. Miner died! It will be restarted soon. (etc)

I get this for every coin I try to mine.

I'm using Bminer v.15.7.6 (full version)

My configuration is:
Windows 10
2x NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 ti

cuda_10.1.168_425.25 installed

Does anybody know what can be the problem?

(other mining software, like the grin gold miner, doesn't have this problem)

Thanks!!

This ^^, altough I have only one 2080ti with CUDA 10.1 and regular 431.68 on it... It seems to fail initializing CUDA library...
Edit: Tried with 431.70 DCH driver, still same result-" Could not initialize the NVML library".

thanks for the information, this is a known issue, we are working on the fix, thanks for the detailed information which helped a lot.

Found the work arround NVML, got a new problem...

New problem to sort out:
CudaError: Unkown error: c:\windows\system32\vcruntime140.dll

I have all the MS visual C++ red. from 2010-2019 installed

again with the latest nvidia drivers 436.02 win10/64
an old error appears ...

"CudaError: Unknown error: c:\windows\system32\nvapi64.dll
Miner died! It will be restarted soon..."

when already fix the miner ? why it works only on "selected" nvidia drivers ... an error falls out in the rest ...
roll back to old drivers again ? where is the solution to the problem

agreed, Gminer and NBminer works fine on latest drivers (grin, beam etc..)

[Kostyarik]

For some reason getting very low hashrate - 20Mh/s (vs 32Mh/s on phoenix miner) on RX580 on ethash. Am I missing something?

Perhaps this is a miner problem, not a driver. Much depends on the version of the miner, for example, the latest version Nbminer gives me an error where, and the previous one works fine.

Same error here on a fresh win10 and fully patched install with Nvidia drivers 436.30

There are not more details on this link. Why don't you update the performance pages?

[RivAngE]

Why are you guys asking for updates?
Is there anything worth mining with GPUs?
Don't expect a developer to do free work.

[dalibord]

Still no use for 2080ti and Grin31. Will skip again.

I have an error on the last version:

Use windows 10, 436.30 driver, rtx 2060

Don't expect a developer to do free work.

but wait, there is no free work! there is developer fee integrated into the miner and it is mentioned on the first page of this topic.
so it is ok to ask developer to fix bugs, and I assume it is in the interests of developers to fix it as well, cause that would mean stable work of miners and more dev fee..
also profit from gpu is still there, all you need for that low price for electricity ( or free electricity)

Maybe something has injected trojan or another Malicious

Sapphire RX 580 8GB Pulse.
2125 MHz memory 1150 MHz core
Claymore 30.7 mhs
Bminer 29.8-30.1 mhs

No issues here.
