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

[lpedretti2]

My rig resets (simply resets) when starting the fourth device if trying to mine btm.
No problems if mining zhash or eth

4x Geforce 1080ti

I'm on ubuntu 16.04.3 with 410.66 drivers

Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.10.0-37-generic x86_64)

Actually, i tried using -devices 0,1,2 and it still resets when starting to mine.
Also tried limiting the cards power to 200w just in case, same result

When i use -devices to only use one card it seems to work fine, i.e. -devices 0 or -devices 1

If i start 2 miners separately, one with -device 0 and the other with -device 1, both work, but the 3rd resets the rig too, no matter what devices i choose, 3 and 4 and then 1 produces the same result)

I thought dev fixed the;

Starting miner on device 0...               
CUDA error DRIVER: '209' in func 'Initialize' line 56
Fatal cuda error in GPU 0. Terminate soon...
 
Miner died! It will be restarted soon...   

Error but clearly he doesn't give a small fuck about the problems me and others have here. Nice!

We’re pleased to release Bminer 10.5.0.

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

Cuda: v9.2

Sorry for the late reply. Please update your CUDA to version 9.2 or above. Update your driver as well if the problem still exists.

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"

Code:

I tried adding "-devices 1" and get the same thing:

No problems with ethminer or claymore.

Any clues?

Please update CUDA to 9.2 or above, and update the Nvidia driver as well if the problem still exists.

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

Thanks for answering the question!

This sounds weird. Can you show us your command, and the output of nvidia-smi?

Please update CUDA to 9.2 or above, and update the Nvidia driver as well if the problem still exists.

I have the same problem and my CUDA is 10. PATH set correctly as well. Drivers are updated too. Every single miner software out there works fine, but your miner is just causing crash.

[Kompik]

Fatal cuda errors 702 all the time. Drivers Cuda 10, BYTOM.

[UselessGuru]

Could you please enhance your API to include the best results for

-dual-subsolver -1
-dual-intensity -1

which bminer found during it's optimization phase?

Thank you very big!

Does this still happen? Would you please send me the log?

Would you please check the version of nvidia driver and update to the latest version to see if it works?
you can find it follow this guide:

Looks like the problem is the card type V100, which Bminer currently doesn't support.

Yes I tried, I am the last drivers ..... nebutech miner, goes without problems, enemy, ccminer,claymore etc... no problem.

I have nothing to send, no error will appear as I turn on the miner, either it freezes or restarts the rig

maybe you should check if you have accidentally added extra space at the end of the command lines or between each command lines.

looks like many people care bout pow8, even claymore developer mentioned pow8 under its thread, will you consider it? @realbminer

I will take a look but I can't guarantee you to release for it.

ZEC prices are shooting up on account of the approval of a ProgPoW proposal, introduced by the 'Ifdefelse' team, to make ZCash GPU-friendly. The ProgPoW proposal being ASIC-resistant and GPU-friendly seems to have lifted investor sentiment in the market.

maybe this algorithm as well...

Hello realbminer - melt from PiMP OS team here. We agree that, since your miner is well developed and has a strong following, as well as supporting both equihash and ethash already, we would love for you to support progpow ethash as well as any potential progpow equihash. Your miner is rock solid stable and has a great api for stats collection to miner.farm, and we would like to see your hard work continue! Thanks again for the great software!
