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

[realbminer]

Newest version still won't run with 13 mixed nvidia 1060/1070 cards under windows 10.  I was hoping for an alternative to dstm.

Can you provide us more information, e.g. the total memory of your machine and the memory usage of Bminer?
Thanks, this will help us further investigate this issue.

Can you provide us with a valid download link for the miner? I'd like to see if this is better than DSTM (faster or cheaper or both) The download links have not worked in a long time.

Download links work perfectly. I just grabbed all three current versions.

what are the experimental ethash rates?

there must have been a reason to include ethash. is it speed?

How to pass additional parameters in the password field?

Some pools, e.g. zpool allow to define additional mining settings in the password field. See an example below:

BMiner.exe -api 127.0.0.1:1880 -uri stratum://1GSq8txFsg1je6yL8t6S94mYdF8cGqVQJF:BLACKBOX,c=BTC@equihash.mine.zpool.ca:2142 -devices 0

Bminer throws an error:

invalid value "stratum://1GSq8txFsg1je6yL8t6S94mYdF8cGqVQJF:BLACKBOX,c=BTC@equihash.mine.zpool.ca:2142" for flag -uri: Invalid port in the URI

Documentation clarification requested

I found this table:

* Equihash   Stratum   stratum://
* Equihash   Stratum over SSL   stratum+ssl://
* Ethash   Stratum   ethash://
* Ethash   Stratum over SSL   ethash+ssl://
* Ethash   Ethereum Proxy   ethproxy://
* Ethash   Ethereum Stratum   ethstratum://

During my tests I found that 'ethash' and' ethash+ssl' do NOT work properly (tried mining Ethereum on NiceHash and MiningPoolHub as well as Musicoin on MiningPoolHub).
It is creating  DAGs over and over again...

'Ethstratum' works for Ethereum (tested on NiceHash) and MusiCoin (tested on MininPoolHub). But how do I mine Ethereum Stratum over SSL ? There is no 'ethstratum+ssl'  

Which parameters should be used to mine which algos / coins?

How to pass additional parameters in the password field?

Some pools, e.g. zpool allow to define additional mining settings in the password field. See an example below:

BMiner.exe -api 127.0.0.1:1880 -uri stratum://1GSq8txFsg1je6yL8t6S94mYdF8cGqVQJF:BLACKBOX,c=BTC@equihash.mine.zpool.ca:2142 -devices 0

Bminer throws an error:

invalid value "stratum://1GSq8txFsg1je6yL8t6S94mYdF8cGqVQJF:BLACKBOX,c=BTC@equihash.mine.zpool.ca:2142" for flag -uri: Invalid port in the URI
Bminer: When Crypto-mining Made Fast (v7.0.0-9c7291b)

Thanks for your feedback! Please refer to our sample usage page for examples of setting passwords in the command: https://www.bminer.me/examples/.

Here is a concrete example:
bminer -uri stratum://foo.w:pwd@us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:17023
The command above will mine towards the username foo, worker name w and password pwd

Hello

This does not help me  

This is what I tried - same error:
BMiner.exe -api 127.0.0.1:1880 -uri stratum://1GSq8txFsg1je6yL8t6S94mYdF8cGqVQJF.BLACKBOX:x,c=BTC@equihash.mine.zpool.ca:2142 -devices 0


Bminer still does not allow me to use ,c=BTC as part of password. Please fix.

Edit: As a workaround I encode the user & password parameters with '[System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlEncode("StringToEncode")' (Powershell)

Hi, V.7 linux release on Hiveos has some problem, GPU goes offline often.

Hi guys!

Any improvement on the hashrate and rejected shares in version 7 compared to 6.1? or still the same? Also, any improvement on the reported hashrate versus the pool hashrate? is it still way higher in the console than in the pool?

I have only tried version 6.1 and got too many rejected shares plus the hashrate as many reported already was much higher in the console than in the pool so I switched back to DSTM for the time being.

For realbminer, why 0.65% devfee for ethash and still 2% for Equihash? I honestly think you are doing a good job with the miner but still not as reliable as DSTM not faster at the moment and people with many problems to run it stable or to run it at all though you lower the devfee only for ETH.

thanks guys and thanks realbminer

For people with NVIDIA cards specially those with GTX 1070 Ti.

Has someone tried the new drivers 397.31 released on the 25th of april? if so any improvements compared to previous version 391.35??

I have installed 391.35 and with 70%TDP, +200 clock and +700 memory I get 3090 average hashrate with 6 GTX 1070 Ti.

Thanks everyone

try 80% tdp +200 clock and +600 memory i get 3280 with 6x 1070ti

Thanks.

the problem with those settings is that you only get 190 hashrate more than I do but the power draw from the wall is much higher so the cost of electricity doesn´t compensate the increase hashrate.

with my settings power draw is 830W total. Whats yours?

my power draw is 176w each vga but the cost for electricyty is cheap here only 0.09$/kwh

[Keko Fdez]

that´s ok.

I pay 0.0840 Kw/h so is not that far off from yours. I will try these settings and see how much does the electricity increases.

Are those numbers with the new drivers 397.35 or with the previous ones 391.35?

i use 388.71 driver if i upgrade the driver hashrate us going down

Where is hashrate for eth mine?

On stock settings:

21.0 MH/s on GTX 1060
26.5 MH/s on GTX 1070
32.2MH/s on GTX 1080Ti

Hi, would you please give me more information about what error it is? what coins and pools you are using when it happens?

it would be great if you can send me logs to diagnose the problem.

thx!
