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

[kevdotcom]

The reason why it closes instantly is that '-pause' is not a valid command line argument.
You are supposed to just write 'pause' in a new line. Try this:

SET ADDRESS=3DovKVnnHhaeQhTJ4UDHy7wwbbFz8yXAvg
SET USERNAME=3DovKVnnHhaeQhTJ4UDHy7wwbbFz8yXAvg
SET POOL=equihash.hk.nicehash.com:3357
SET SCHEME=stratum+tcp

bminer -uri stratum://3DovKVnnHhaeQhTJ4UDHy7wwbbFz8yXAvg@stratum+tcp://equihash.hk.nicehash.com:3357 -api 127.0.0.1:1880

pause

Hi, May I know the full string for nicehash?

@echo OFF

REM Change the following address to your Zcash taddr.
SET ADDRESS=3DovKVnnHhaeQhTJ4UDHy7wwbbFz8yXAvg
SET USERNAME=3DovKVnnHhaeQhTJ4UDHy7wwbbFz8yXAvg
SET POOL=equihash.hk.nicehash.com:3357
SET SCHEME=stratum+tcp

bminer -uri stratum+tcp:://3DovKVnnHhaeQhTJ4UDHy7wwbbFz8yXAvg@stratum+tcp://equihash.hk.nicehash.com:3357 -api 127.0.0.1:1880 -pause

It seems cant run. The command prompt keep close even though i put pause behind.

Should be something like the following:


bminer -uri stratum://3DovKVnnHhaeQhTJ4UDHy7wwbbFz8yXAvg@equihash.hk.nicehash.com:3357 -api 127.0.0.1:1880

Yikes, on v5.1.0 when connected to Nicehash it can get into a state where it suddenly hashes invalid shares which are all rejected with the message "share above target"!

It seems to happen when the pool changes nonce size. I'll PM you the full log.

Code:

[INFO] [2018-01-22T09:03:52Z] Set nonce to 1008c8a600
[INFO] [2018-01-22T09:03:52Z] Set target to 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000808787870700
[INFO] [2018-01-22T09:03:52Z] Received new job 000000142e9e27f4

All went well after that point (note the nonce size) up until the nonce size was changed, triggered by a disconnection:

Thanks mate, it's working now. gonna compare it with dtsm.

HI. Just an update on the BMiner.

I have tried it om my setup:
BTX 250+ pro board. 4gb ram. 3390 celeron cpu. 1x Strix 1080 and 1 1050ti card. I'm mining at 799 Sol/s. I also updated to the newest NVidia drivers(390.65).

Overclocking with MSI Afterburner: 1080 = Code: 235, Memory 300, Same for 1050TI

This is verified at pool (miningpoolhub.com)

Sofar this miner works better than any other software I have tested on my layout.

Regards

[german103]

509H/s vs DSTM's 498H/s on 1070.

I didn't read through all posts, so sorry if I ask something was already answered to, but were the CPU usage issue fixed? thank you!

Just tried again for fun -- still doesn't start for me on Windows 10. Not from batch file, nor on its own with any command arguments.

And that's with two different Windows 10 machines, one AMD Ryzen 7 1700, one intel i7 3770. Both with a GTX 1070.

Any way to debug this? I don't have anything strange running at the same time, as far as I can tell.

Just to confirm -- did you turn off windows defender? Windows Defender sometimes would deny the execution.

What happens if you directly click on bminer.exe?

[NameTaken]

Is it possible to increase the Sol/s with more optimizations or is what we have now about as good as it's going to get?

[realbminer]

The version 5.2.0 has been released. It brings a few improvements on NiceHash and Windows:

• Introduced the option -logfile to append the logs into a file.
• Minor optimization on Windows for cards that are mounted on the risers.
• Improve compatibility for NiceHash.

Enjoy!

Yes, I had tried disabling Windows Defender, despite it showing no indication that it cared about bminer.exe. Disabling Windows Defender had no effect.

If I double-click bminer.exe a cmd-style window appears for a couple seconds, then closes. It has no contents. There are no error messages or other outputs.

EDIT: same result with new 5.2.0 version.

Thank you so much for developing bminer and sharing it with us! I really prefer bminer over dstm and ewbf as I get 2-5% better results with bminer v5.0. I'm just trying bminer v5.2 and it looks like it's 1-2% faster than v5.0! I'm mining with 1070 Ti's and get about 515-525 sol/s @66% power limit (4.37 sol/w) with +200 core +600 mem.
 Keep up the great work!

[Eterbank]

1070ti results?
