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

[leoragraves666]

Anyone made bminer to work with this setup: SMOS, C31, grinmint, 1080ti ? If so, can you paste your command line? I always get shares rejected due to low difficulty

mining on C31 algorithm for 2080Ti, very good speed and smoothly mining now.
but i am using Linux now for the mining.

What is the speed of the 2080Ti?

[coinut]

win7 x64 1080ti c31 v14.3.1

can only run 2 cards at full speed max but rejects also increase compared to running a single card.

running 6 cards results in mining at half speed.

Anyone using API? http page is opening but i see no stats, what could be the issue?

Are you set on grinmint? I've tested Windows, SMOS, and Minerbabe for C29 and C31 using Bminer, Gminer, Kbminer (Minerbabe), Grinpro, and Grinminer and with every possible setup, I've had poor results on grinmint. Sparkpool was not great either. Even after paying 3% fees at F2pool, I was doing better there. Then I realized Luxor had a closer server to me, had 0 fees on GRIN (for now), and also did PPS, so even though they're pool hashrate is low, the payouts are consistent. Also, unlike F2pool, you can mine C29 and C31 and it all goes to the same wallet instead of having to hit a 3 Grin payout separately for each algo. As of now, I have a 2x 1080Ti rig on SMOS, C31, 180/600/225W and am getting 2.65 gps poolside with 100% efficiency on Luxor (efficiency has dipped as low as about 99.83% at times). Just my experience - I currently only have 10 gpus split between 3 rigs mining Grin right now (would be two rigs if Bminer worked on Windows 10 for C31) -  you may have different results depending on your setup and where you're located.

Crypto mining blog:
"The latest releases of Bminer 14.1.0 and NBMiner 14.0 have announced pretty impressive performance increases regarding Bytom (BTM) mining hashrate on the new Nvidia RTX series of GPUs with up to about 200% boost"


windows 10:

Bminer 14.1.0   ~ 4000h
NBMiner 14.0   ~ 12000h(unstable working only about 3 hours)

Why i have so small hashrate on Bminer 14.1.0?

Luxor.... the payouts are consistent.

I looked through first 30 top miners and did not find ANY single payout. only unpaid balances. some have 100+ grins unpaid. seems very strange. can you provide link to your account?

Hi, realbminer!

your miner is very cool. It supports 4gb gpus and very stable. restarts only for update to new version

it gives me ~95% accepted shares on sparkpool on all rigs (13x 106/104/1070Ti - HiveOS). while *another* miner run with almost 100% accepted with a bit smaller HR.
but on pool your miner achieves better HR afterall. LA also much lower - about 2.2, while *another* 6-8 up to 20 making some rigs unstable.

I tested grin@nanopool for some time and found that accepted share rate there is better > 99%. (they have lower diff than sparkpool)
on sparkpool most shares are rejected with {"code":10,"message":"invalid share: share context is invalid!"}
(just test on Luxor: Efficiency - 100.00% on all rigs!)

I played with intensity option - and did not find any real improvements. it can slightly reduce/increase cpu usage by -0.5 / +1 and report higher HR, but on pool it was always lower in long time run.
what this option really do?

recently tested 1080 on windows (Oh, mining on windows is pain!) and noticed interesting thing - your miner produces 85% "bus utilization" while *another* just few percents. what is this?

Improved the miner fidelity by 8%-10%. You will not see big local difference but you will see roughly 10% higher speed on the pool side.

can you explain what fidelity is and how does it affect HR on pool side?
afaik, pool accepts shares with appropriate diff. more shares - more profit. or I am wrong?


some suggestions and wishes:
 - report accepted shares time
 - accepted/rejected shares per gpu stat
 - fix reporting 1C / 1% / 1W sometime for some gpus. (use 0 instead, please. 1 is confusing).
 - maybe option for set reporting interval?  on big rigs with high LA getting gpu stat can produce even higher LA (irq/kworker and etc...)
 - support amd for grin someday

Best regards

Help help! Really crazy because it is hard to monitor miners

Anyone using API? http page is opening but i see no stats, what could be the issue? Mining c29

[yuzuak]

@realbminer When is 8gb c31? I think it was late

[kryx]

Can we use this to mine Grin with AMD?

I've got a spare Vega 56

Sure https://grin.luxor.tech/miner/GRIN/bakermining76. But its not very useful because the public pages don't show information on payouts - only the unpaid balances. I don't see a way to attach a screenshot to my post and I don't want to upload a pic somewhere else just so I can link it here. You're welcome to watch the balance on my page grow until I cash out somewhere around 3 GRIN, though.

ok. thanks. so, payouts are closed for public.
and stat for revenue - 24h Reward / 24h Revenue / 72h Reward / 72h Revenue also? Shown only when logged?

btw, on Luxor: Efficiency - 100.00% on all rigs.

As far as I can tell, the Revenue tab is just not being used. All it shows on my dashboard is 0's, except for the Network Difficulty. For me, efficiency has ranged from 99.83% to 100%, and I rarely see rejected shares on Bminer - On my P106Rig, Bminer shows 3286 accepted / 19 rejected. The Luxor reported efficiency appears to actually be 15-minute efficiency or something similar.

few just rejected per 1000 shares. that's much better!
and fast payment. thanks for advise!

Hello,

Is this good?

Guys, what is your hashrate on c31 using 1080ti on Windows?
I have about 0.75-0.87 per card (but 7.12 on c29)

Win7, 1080ti Asus Strix, 416.94 drivers
949mv locked,
power limit 100% (working at about 80% average),
core +220 (working at about 1923 mhz)
memory +400 at P0 (working at 5899 mhz) + Pill

[cryptoyes]

@realbminer - can we please have an option to mine c31 on all cards that can do it, and c29 on the others? I have rigs with a mixture of 1070 and 1080Ti. Right now I'm forced to run run two instances of bminer, each with different "--devices" options. This makes it hard to monitor (two log files, etc etc).

[cryptoyes]

Also, to everyone: do yourself a favor and switch to Luxor pool. Has virtually 0% rejected shares and pays consistently. It is also backed by an actual (american) company, with actual NON-anonymous people behind it: https://www.luxor.tech/company ... both Eddie and Nick are on Discord and have been more than helpful.

All other pools, without exception, STILL have rejected shares issues and/or disconnection issues (the big 3 are atrocious: Grinmint, F2pool, sparkpool). I have 2-5% rejected shares on most other pools. What's worse, especially on F2pool, is that sometimes the pool bans you for 15 minutes for too many rejected shares in a row (particularly when you mine with large rigs, e.g. rented from MRR or Nicehash).

It's also a good idea to switch anyway in order to distribute hashrate a little.

Not on Windows, but on HiveOS - 1.29-1.43.  Pool side shows about the same but with 5-6% rejects.  210w power limit +100/+1000 and running the OhGodAnETHlargementPill.  However, bminer crashes and restarts every 1-3 hours.  It's still much faster than gminer.
