Hi, i started to use your miner at btc.com, grin-c29.
2x gtx1070, fidelity after 1 hour 1.05, 60% power 150W, 4.6 G/s
max cpu usage 1%, i7-5840K 16gb on w10.
 
Are you working on grin-c31?

[pinoli]

thanks realbminer,
I am running 14.0.0 on Windows 10 with two RTX 2080 Ti, I have latest nvidia drivers (clean install), CUDA etc..
Everything is good and graphrate is great, but I am encountering this error

Code:

Failed to fetch device Status for device id: 1, Error code: 999

I have seen other people were reporting this problem, I dont know how to solve it.
Help please

I have the same problem:

Graphrate is unstable!

Any suggestions?

[liomojo1]

Did you try to increase your swap file to 50-60 gb and try again?

[bswilmington]

I haven't had any of those problems, but as said.  I've been running a lot of virtual memory.

[TREYKOV]

Did you try to increase your swap file to 50-60 gb and try again?

pagefile.sys = 86gb used of 90gb available

What can be happening?

I made sure to create exception in Windows Defender, updated to the latest drivers, made sure the rig its running on the iGPU leaving the RTXs alone.
BIOS is on latest version, nvidia-smi is installed and working, everything works except this.

The weird thing is that it worked once while restarting the miner, so its definitely a software issue, don't know where.
Thanks

SOLVED IT!

With my 2x NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition, I usde MSI Afterburner for OC and I noticed this weird thing.
If I set my memory clock above +200 MHz, I start getting this error. I tried all the other parameters, it's just the memory and it starts showing error 1 MHz above +200Mhz.
What's weird is that the rig seems to be perfectly stable with much higher OC, and graphrate scales correctly with OC without an increase in rejected shares, so I dopnt really know whats going on.

realbminer can you shed some light on this?

P.S.: I am using MSI Afterburner 4.6.0.1.14248 Beta 11

[cybterpunk]

can you support grin C31 algorithm？

right now,,seems we only have C29 algorithm?

[arielbit]

What happen to my GTX 1080ti I'm getting around 3.53 fixed mining almost 8 hours but I got huge hashrate drop almost 50%?

What happen? The gtx 1080ti is in GPU 0?

this happened to one of my 3 card (1080ti) rig, using gminer 1.23, other 3 card rigs works fine..

i put the card in 2 card rig, the card now mines at ~6.9, maybe due to cooler area i placed it in...i noticed that although the gpu core is lower in temps compared to the other 2 1080 ti it simply throttles down from ~6.9 to 3.6 after a few hours...leaving it for now since it is doing ~6.9 in the 2 card rig, will investigate in the future..

i'm suspecting it maybe is throttling down due to heating of the VRMs...happend to one of my 390s back then, don't know if 1080 ti do this too...notice the power is ~240+ watts, that's heavy on the VRMs

edit: it still go down to ~3.7 in the 2 card rig..i think it is a card issue

[Mashy81]

Will you support AMD cards on grin.

I got that with the previous version on amds, so guess, no need to try mess with devices argument now

I got the same message what is the correct startupline for 6x amd at grin?

can you support grin C31 algorithm？

right now,,seems we only have C29 algorithm?

I came here to ask the same thing.
Shall we expect anything or is too troublesome to develop it? I understand that c31 will be ASIC-mined but the ASICs take time to be developed.
I guess we might see FPGAs sooner or later and because of that you might decide to not support c31 on your miner... in any case please let us know of your decision!

Is my oc for grin too high? +200 +750 at 75% on a 1070ti

Please add support for mining BEAM on NiceHash.

NiceHash requires a change in stratum protocol for equihash 150,5. Job message contains additional parameter "nonceprefix", which follows the same rules as "nonceprefix" field in the login response.

Protocol specifications:
https://github.com/nicehash/Specifications/blob/master/Beam_NiceHash_v1.0.txt

After the required change, Bminer could be added to NiceHashMiner Legacy - currently used by more than 70k miners.

Was looking for the same, let's hope this will be implemented
