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

[realbminer]

On Ubuntu with 1080Ti version 5 is 0.5% slower than version 4

Just wondering which release of Ubuntu are you using and what is your driver version? What is the spec of the mining rig? Does the card sit on risers?

I have tested the 5.0.0 release on machines that have risers and the one that does not. I did not notice the performance difference.

What does 3a6fcd1 in the file name mean? It would be convenient to have an HTTP endpoint with the latest version info so it can be used as a variable in a script or Ansible-playbook in my case. E.g.

Code:

curl -s https://www.bminercontent.com/releases/bminer-$(curl -s https://www.bminer.me/releases/latest)-amd64.tar.xz | tar -xvJC /opt/bminer/ --strip 1

Like https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt

Thanks for the suggestion. I think it is a great idea! I'll try to implement it in the next release.

This is on Ubuntu 16.04 with driver version 384.69
Spec is 6 x 1080 TI cards all on risers.

I'm wondering, if Bminer sol/s is showing net (dev-fee deducted) rate or not?

Looks like pool side is around 10% lower than actually sol/s rate showed by bminer...

Cheers,
Andy

This doesn't work on nicehash servers (equihash.eu.nicehash.com:3357), it says

Code:

[WARN] [2018-01-11T01:46:33Z] Get error: The length of server side nonce is 17 (>16), which is incompatible with this solver, resetting in 5 seconds

Any plans to fix this?

It happened again, any idea what this could be?

It seems to me that you haven't specified the password in the URI. As a result suprnova is rejecting the connection. Adding the password works for me.

This worked fine without the password, but I have added it now to be safe.
The error popped up again.
The miner needs to be closed and restarted. However this means a manual intervention.
Can this be patched?

I'm working on a fix. It should be available in the next release. Please stay tuned.

[Jsorrentino]

Hoping the other issues reported are fixed (exiting on retries set to 0 was broken for one)

[Harry5555]

What hashrate do you get with a gtx 980 ti?

[realbminer]

Hoping the other issues reported are fixed (exiting on retries set to 0 was broken for one)

I think it is working out of the box although you might need to disable to watchdog. See https://www.bminer.me/examples/#exit-immediately-in-case-of-network-failures for more details.

[MagicSmoker]

What hashrate do you get with a gtx 980 ti?

435 Sols/s, according to the google search I just did for you. Ahem.

[avirdoz]

Are deduction of 2% needed for actual hashrate from miner output?

[realbminer]

I'm wondering, if Bminer sol/s is showing net (dev-fee deducted) rate or not?

Looks like pool side is around 10% lower than actually sol/s rate showed by bminer...

Cheers,
Andy

It actually shows all sols computed by the bminer. Note that the number remains the same even the devfee is turned off (which does not submit devfee shares but it disables *quite a few* optimizations).

Did you turn off devfee? You might want to try it again with devfee turned on. Thanks.

[venomvv]

can I make the time counter more interactive? it is necessary to display minutes at least

Why does BMiner take so long to get up to speed?

Genuinely interested in this as well.

Maybe same reason as DSTM?

bminer reports exponentially weighted moving average(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_average) of the speed. It takes the last couple minutes of the speed into account.

It does report slower sols at the very beginning as it assumes that the speed of the last couple minutes is zero, i.e., no solutions have been found. The actual speed is the same.

The reported results will be fairly accurate in a couple minutes.

This doesn't work on nicehash servers, it says

Code:

[WARN] [2018-01-11T01:46:33Z] Get error: The length of server side nonce is 17 (>16), which is incompatible with this solver, resetting in 5 seconds

Can this be fixed please?

Yes. It should be fixed in the next release.

Hello!
Thanks for miner
1) You can add GPU temps on miner window?
2) You can add colors to miner window for best reading?
3) Please fix empty graphics on page https://c2n.me/3QZUO75

Tried it.  Working well on single coins (Zclassic currently).  Only seeing a 1% gain over the DSTM Zec miner, but 1% is still good.

However, I can't seem to point it at an algo-switching pool.  I'm still pretty new, so many I'm missing something.  Keep getting an end of file error.

Also, anyone know how to get this into AwesomeMiner so it will auto-restart if it dies?  I haven't been successful yet.
