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

[meinerneiner]

Any chance you can make this a equihash 96/5 miner?

Thank you

Hi, thanks for the message, since equihash 144,5 is the new algorithm that several equihash coins will move to, we will add equihash 144,5 first.

Any chance you'll have the 144,5 support in the next 2 hours, as we await the BTG fork?  I suspect not, but HAVE to ask...my wallet made me do it :-) Still mining Bytom like mad here with 9.0.0, and stable as can be.  But I'd like to go back to Equihash, but use the new algo right at the fork.  Thank you for EVERYTHING you've done with this miner, it's pretty awesome.

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

nice!!! this solved my error with bminer and zergpool, for setting coin to get paid to.

keep up the excellent work!

Sorry, we can't make it today but we will release as soon as we can.

May I ask why you want equihash 96,5 want to be added?  Thanks!

We want other equihash including the  96,5

Thanks for the message, I will take a look at this algorithm.

realbminer,
I am concerned with the power draw stability (sawtooth) on Bytom's algorithm. Could you increase the implied intensity or introduce a configurable intensity parameter? Russian miners also complain about this issue.

Hello, I have a question for the developers of the bi-miner: why you have not yet released a version for the new algorithm Zhash 144.5 because this algorithm has already transferred several coins such as: BTCZ, BTG, XSG, SAFE, LTCZ, and there will also be others to switch from the Equihash algorithm to escape from the Asiks! Do you plan to release the miner under this algorithm Zhash 144.5, if yes then about when to wait for it

Do you even read? 
This question has been answered several times already. Take a chill pill.
"Sorry, we can't make it today but we will release as soon as we can."

Now just wait.

Take out the "," and just use space.

We have an option -max-temperature for thermal throttling.

Any other idea?

I mining Bytom.

At stock clock i have about 1120H/s with 1080ti and 1200H/s with TitanXP.

I expected 1300H/s with 1080ti. I tried W7 and W10 x64, 4 different Nvidia drivers..... and still same hashing power, what can be wrong?

Where you trying to mine and what is your batch?

[wetblanket]

Some not very scientific testing reveals that recent versions of `ethminer` deliver a higher hashrate than `bminer` (eth-only) for ETH algo coins. However, `bminer` results were similar to those from `claymore` in eth-only mode. So, I think there is more to gain in `bminer`with regards to eth mining. Looking forward to future improvements!

[alphaboss]

Bminer crashing otherwise stable systems. I suspect either bypassing power controls or sending bad payload, which is it?

[prelude2018]

Is there way to see PCI addresses for GPU´s?

I have 11 GPU's in use and i want to know what physical GPU is bminer GPU N. I first assume that it't using cuda dev id's but seems that is not case.
example GPU 2 in bminer seems to be GPU 1 in nvidia-smi (00000000:02:00.0)

It's not a big issue but it's pretty annoying to figure out what GPU is running too hot. (Im limiting temp to 80 with bminer -max-temperature option)

Hi Maxpower666:

Thanks for the feedback. Would you please give me more information such as command line and the output on the screen if it is normal.
The mining speed may be lower if the temperature is higher than the default number.
