if it is happen when you test on grinmint pool, this problem should have been fixed in Bminer 12.2.0, please try and let me know if it works.

We’re pleased to release Bminer 12.2.0.

The release provides:

Optimize CPU usage.
Fix compatibility issues with grin-pool.org and grinmint.com.
Experimental support for Turing GPUs.
Allow bminer to run with older NVIDIA drivers.

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

Happy mining!

when add AMD ?

[evlo]

haha, still Undefined but requested solver: cuckaroo29 on amd and greenmint

bminer can only run on AMD card if you mine Beam.

[cryptoyes]

Just tested 12.2.0 for the past 45 minutes. It said it optimized CPU usage. I have A dual-core celeron G3930 @ 2.9 GHz and 13 gtx1070 on a an Asrock h110 btc+ motherboard. Using Ubuntu 16.04

- the cpu usage is actually higher in 12.2.0 than it was on 12.1.0 (even simple calls to nvidia-smi --query-gpu=power.limit --format=csv take forever to run)
- the mining speed on cuckaroo29 is not higher than 12.1.0 ... feels about the same

I was excited when I read "optimized CPU usage" but it is not the case for me

@realbminer can you do something about it? Your miner has always been very CPU intensive compared to other miners for the same algo (e.g. equihash145,5 where Gminer is both faster and much lower on CPU usage than bminer)

Code:

# time nvidia-smi --query-gpu=power.limit --format=csv
power.limit [W]
115.00 W

How do you format the -uri with the email address?

I have the same problem with your latest version of the miner too. There are a lot of rejected shares due to low difficulty.

SET ADDRESS=mail@mail.com

all workers are displayed as "default"

[IdealisticAnarchist]

Trying to use bminer with grin-mint.

Just after it says connected to [pool address], I'm getting the error:  "Get error: End of file, resetting in 5 seconds".

I'm also not sure how I'm supposed to configure bminer for grin-mint...  some examples have email addresses url encoded, and some don't.

If someone could post an example of a properly configured .bat file for mining on grin-mint, that would be awesome.

EDIT: just figured out I was missing "+ssl".  changing to SET SCHEME=cuckaroo29+ssl fixed it.

also, you can check the speed of the miner on different rigs using the benchmark page: https://minermonitoring.com/benchmark

why so many rejects on grinmint comparing with f2pool?
On f2pool i got about 6% of rejects, but on grinmint it is about 10% with 'code 32502 failed to validate solution'

[Xdragon]

^ yes , I also have more reject on eu grinmint server, than on chineese f2pool. And I am from eu
I also have very low hash on spark with 12.1, did not try this new 12.2 version on spark yet. NBminer works perfect on spark 0% rejects

[Overmaster_007]

Have problem on 3 rigs:

It should be fixed in 12.2.0. I should have be more specific on the release notes. :-)

running more than 3 gpus results in much slower speed. hashrate drops by over 33% per card if more than 3 gpus are selected

Windows 7

gtx 1070

bminer-v12.2.0

+ 60GB pagefile

I don't think this is OS related since I've noticed a lot of people mentioning it in the Discord.
Maybe it's natural for this algo? I don't know... I'm a hobbist 1-GPU miner !

[mrpcrp2]

good miner for no more than 3 gpu rigs
if cards more than 3 in rig , gpu utilization fall down less 30% even though powerfull cpu (i3 , i5)
win7x64 , 417.35 , 8Gb RAM , 82 Gb swap

I tried on leafpool. Login to pool successful, but then messages like

I tried it with just worker and and with worker name and email while replacing @ and / with corresponding special characters in URI format

Hi evlo, sorry that Bminer didn't support leaf pool at this moment.
Bminer supports Sparkpool and beepool already, please use other pools instead first.

when support for Leaf?

Would like to see leaf support too

win7x64 , 417.35 , 8Gb RAM , 82 Gb swap

Exactly my findings too. This miner is relying too much on the CPU which becomes the bottleneck and can't handle more interrupt requests to GPUs ... he seems to be trying to improve this, and said v12.2.0 optimized cpu usage but i found no improvement for my 13 gpu rigs.

note: 1080ti only (3 card rigs)

i'm a 4 gpu per rig miner so migrating to 3 gpu is quite easy...assembling a 3 gpu rig and taking a gpu from other rigs makes me 4 rigs (of 3 gpus) hehe..

now, cpu observation, same settings.. q8400, q9400 and anything around that generation gives 15.x G/s, starting from AMD x3 720, x4 960T to fx 6300 can give around 16.x G/s and i7 8700k rig gives 17.x G/s

can mine at 4gb ram, 33gb page file in windows 7.

i remember back when ethminer was still the miner i'm using until claymore makes an ETH miner and continue to optimize it i noticed that my rig with a e8400 cpu has a bit lower hash rate than my q9000 series rigs even when the miner claymore made was already optimized, i replaced the cpu and hashrate increased.
