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

[Vann]

We'll my Zotac AMP! Exteme 1070 is now showing ~500 Sol/s @ 150 W, so that's ~12% better than EWBF if it's correct!

[xisco12]

I tried to use the more miner gave error here, I got the command line ready for the nanopool and it replaces the wallet and the user more of the error "miner died", if someone can help with the step by step I thank you.

Sorry the english, i used a translator.

Hi Miners,

in my opinion that program has some CPU mining scrypt inside core. When i use bminer my rig draw 30W more energy from wall and all core in my i7 cpu usage are 25-30%.  My GTX1080 GPU draw 110W ( clock, memory is the same like EWBF miner, DTMS, 4,99Sol/W ~545,2Sol/s after 12hours, in Bminer hash rate is 560 Sols/W but rig draw more power.



for newbe

if you try dig with miner you should open txt file



bminer -uri stratum://walletadress.workname@pooladress:port

example:

bminer -uri stratum://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.test@zhash.pro:3058 -api=127.0.0.1:1880

pause




next save file  -  like test.bat
and run


API doesnt work fine in my case.

Someone should monitor the outgoing connections, so if it's connecting to some other pool, then this miner is mining with your CPU for the dev.

[Vann]

I just tried DSTM and in my case I'm getting 2-3% less than the Bminer with the same settings, 1054 Sol/s vs 1083 Sol/s. CPU usage is definetly much higher at 99% with Bminer vs ~20% with DSTM on a Pentium. Power usage at the wall is 23 W less with DSTM. For the api in Bminer you need to add /api/status to the end of the ip address and port, but it's just unsorted text shown.

The only disadvantage is that there is no working temperature of the graphics card

you realize 2 percent dev fee is too high right, claymore is getting ready to lower his 2 percent down to 1 percent with his next update to his equihash miner sooooooo if you want people to use yours id suggest you do the same, because when claymore changes it so will everyone else NVidia or amd doesn't matter. not to mention you are a newbie account also for as much work as your miner needs 2 percent is also kinda high to begin with, api isn't even there fully, cant control the rig remotely at all and cpu usage is too high

[realbminer]

Linux version?

Still ironing a couple issues out for the Linux version, please stay tuned.

[realbminer]

The high CPU usage is due to how the CUDA driver communicates with the GPUs. I have observed that doing a busy wait (higher CPU usages) is faster than sleeping in some cases.

Will make it a configurable option in the next version.

Makes me happy to see Nvidia mining developments getting published. Seems like the transition from AMD 6 months ago was worth it  .

Claymore miners are in the thousands if not hundreds of thousands, his fee should be 0.5%, that's not the same for a miner that is starting out  

But i agree with you, miner should be refined before being usable and some "details" need to be explored deeper (like the cpu load), keep up the good work dev.

Bminer is a highly optimized Equihash miner that runs on modern NVIDIA GPUs (Maxwell and Pascal, i.e. GPUs that have compute capability 5.0 or above). Bminer is the fastest publicly available Equihash miners today. It features a completely restructured algorithm to maximize the stream processor occupancy and the instruction pipeline efficiency. It realizes the full potentials of Pascal GPU cards.

Bminer also comes with REST APIs to facilitate production deployments (e.g., mining farms).

Similar to other miners, Bminer contains 2% devfee.

Features

Fast

• 735-745 Sol/s on GTX 1080Ti
• 450-460 Sol/s on GTX 1070
• 315-325 Sol/s on GTX 1060
• On stock settings

Secure and reliable

• SSL support
• Automatic reconnects to recover from transient network failures
• Automatic restarts if GPUs hang

Operation friendly

• Comes with REST APIs to facilitate production deployments

Quickstart

To mine Zcash on Windows on nanopool:

• Download and extract Bminer into a folder (e.g. C:\bminer)
• Edit mine.bat and change the address to the desired Zcash address that Bminer mines towards.
• Open command line prompt and run mine.bat.
• Enjoy mining 

Please see https://www.bminer.me for advanced usages, APIs and updates.

Just verified the claims here. I'm getting 500 h/s compared to 480 h/s with EWBF 0.3.4b. However, the code appears to be very early-stage in its development. At the same clock rate where EWBF is stable (6x 1070 - +99CPU +520MEM), this script crashed consistently after 1-2 hours.

Also, it would be very nice to see round trip time (RTT) on the submitted shares. It is difficult to tell if the program was hanging or not before submitting a share.

Support for Minex (MNX)?

MNX uses the MARS algorithm.

OMG its using Equihash with diffrent start params...

Only interested by a linux version too.
Waiting, no problem.

So many equihash miners are coming lately..... with similar speeds ..... Wondering... are they all based on something similar in the back.

On CUDA?

[shibob]

So nice to have another miner compete with EWBF's and dstm's miner. Is there any plan to develop for AMD GPU?
I would like to use this miner if CPU usage could be less than 20% because I also use CPU to mine another coins.

[uskovartem]

Start mine.bat and nothing happen.

And that's all. What's wrong?

[thesaltonsea]

A lot of CPU usage , 30% cpu usage of 8 core Xeon for 2x 1060 cards , thats alot ...
