any news for adding more algorithm?

Please stay tuned!

We’re pleased to release Bminer 10.4.0.

The release provides:

• Add `-pers auto` option to support pools (e.g. zergpool.com) to automatically switch personalization string for equihash144,5 mining.

Please see https://www.bminer.me for more details.

Happy mining!

I have 4 cards in my setup: 1x980Ti, 1x980, 2x970
All versions (10.0 – 10.4) are crashing at start of Zhash mining with cuda error in last GPU. With one GPU disabled (no matter which) it works good.

UPD. Fixed.

It seems that the last hardware may be broken.

[MaKCuMyC]

run zhash step by step on each card works without issues. hardware are good.
just now one of 970 compute another algo, and same time other 3 card compute zhash.

UPD: moving from 388.43 driver to newest 416.34 solve problem with Zhash.

Please add support for 96_5.  Thanks!

Hi realbminer,

Not sure if you are aware of this but I am experiencing a issue with using your miner at equipool.1ds.us mining BitcoinZ.

Your mine_equihash1445.sh example script does work correctly at 2miners.com for me in Linux.

I have modified it for the address and pool to point at equipool using the BitcoinZ community fund wallet for testing as I intent to include it in the next release of ZhashOS.

Here is the script:

#!/bin/sh

# Change the following address to your Equihash1445 addr.
ADDRESS=t3cEmCiE9q2So7m7fBi8awEcS6BRDR8LHN9

USERNAME=$ADDRESS.w
POOL=mine-btcz-na.equipool.1ds.us:50062
SCHEME=equihash1445

# =====================================================================
# Change pers according to the coin you want to mine. For example:
# Coin:         Pers
# BitcoinZ:     BitcoinZ
# Safe Coin:    Safecoin
# ZelCash:      ZelProof
# SnowGem:      sngemPoW
# Bitcoin Gold: BgoldPoW
# You can also use PERS=auto for certain pools, e.g. altpool, zergpool
# =====================================================================
PERS=BitcoinZ

./bminer -uri $SCHEME://$USERNAME@$POOL -api 127.0.0.1:1880 -pers $PERS

For what it is worth. EWBF,miniZ and Gminer are tested mining correctly there. My first thoughts are there may be a stratum incompatibility between your miner and equipool. But since the other three miners *do* work there, I am leaning that the issue may be on your side.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

We’re pleased to release Bminer 10.5.0.

The release provides:

• Substantially increase BTM mining speed, e.g. 4500H/s on 1080Ti now.
• Maximum temperature is monitored more precisely.
• Support BTG mining on zhash.pro pool.

Please see https://www.bminer.me for more details.

Happy mining!

This error for Bytom, Ethash:

CUDA error DRIVER: '209' in func 'Init' line 42
Fatal cuda error in GPU 0. Terminate soon...

I have Nvidia V100
Driver 410.48
CUDA 10 ($PATH set corrently as well)
Ubuntu 16.04

Would be great if you could help...

This is error for BTM mining.. With previous version 10.4.0 all is ok

Same error for Zhash: Failed to create solver
10.5.0 is bugy.

UPD. Fixed.

Is Maxwell able to work with tensority algo? I got this (without any overclocking):

I was curious to try this for ethash, but it doesn't work under Ubuntu 16.04 for me with CUDA 9.1 and 390.48 drivers. Error is "Failed to initialize miner for device 0, with err: Failed to create solver"

No problems with ethminer or claymore.

Any clues?

You need to update Nvidia drivers to new version. I solve my problem after upgrade to 410.66
