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

[laik2]

Hello,
I have small remark regarding beam.
It is not possible to work in mixed rig environment, while selecting either AMD or NVIDIA works. Do you plan to enumerate all platforms at once?

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.

There should be support for 8gb cards coming soon, or at least I hope so, since the other developers have put this to work

I can not mine C31 Windows10-64bit for 1080TI RIG ?

This is unfixable? We cannot use Bminer for c31 with windows 10?

Will fix in a future release.
Win 10 took too much memory, it should be fine if mining under win 7 or Linux system.

I have the same problem on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS with 1080 ti. I thought it works on linux. Any solution to solve the problem?

It should work, at least works for me and most ofthe people here.

@realbminer we are counting on 8gb support - lots of 1070 & 1080 cards sitting and waiting

any performance improvement on Turning Card  2080Ti and 1080Ti ?

thanks!

Bminer is not showing accepted shares on the miner on my rig but it is showing I am getting shares on the pool at thegrinpool.... I have 3 different workers connected and it is hard to tell which ones are working as the pool does not list workers separately. One of the three rigs is showing accepted shares but the other two are not but they are obviously working as my G/s are higher than any one rig will make. Just wanted to let someone know as it seems like a bug.

Can you please share your command?

Ubuntu 18.04
./bminer.exe -uri cuckaroo29://myemail@email.com:x@mine.thegrinpool.com:4747

It seems to start showing Accepted shares at some point but I haven't sat around and watched to see how long it takes. Also, recently it was showing Accepted shares like crazy and I was not showing my G/s on the pool on my 7 gtx 1070's rig as my 2 individual gtx 1070's WERE showing on the pool (they are on Windows 7). I had to restart the rig to get it to connect and it is obviously connected as my hash showed on the pool but no accepted shares on the terminal in Ubuntu.

I had a similar issue with this! on https://thegrinpool.com, I joined their telegram channel and their dedicated support team helped me out, the issue was resolved on their end and everything is fine now. Their pool has been very lucky too! Going to update after month of mining with them.

Mining ETH on Ethermine.org with bminer not showing my reported hashrate.

Do I need to add any arguments to enable reporting hashrate to pool?

Edit:
Looks like it's sending wrong hashrate to pool, I have a 12x1060 rig and pool shows 21 as my reported hashrate.

True. I fixed the problem and now it works. Turned out that my gnome shell used too much gpu memory, so I killed it and now it works like a dream.

Feature request

Please add the auto-tuning results (as detected during miner warmup) to the miner API. I would like to retrieve them programatically so that they can be saved for further runs.

Thank you!

I dont know if this is discussed , but it is serious for me. If the internet connection is interrupted and there is no internet , the miner keeps mining and loading the gpus at max , actually mining is not interrupted and electricity is being consumed for nothing. I tried the other grin miners and they don`t have such issue. Please look at this problem , cause sometimes internet issues happen and there is no point of the gpus to mine for nothing. I didn`t have internet for 4 hours , but the rig was consuming 1200w every hour as if it mines. I made after that an experiment and removed the internet cable from the board and the rig kept mining with 1200w , this is not good guys , not good.

Just tried doing the same - mine says no internet connection, drops the power usage. I am on SMOS, if that is the issue.

I have a problem with running Cuckatoo31 on 1080 TI's.
CUDA error DRIVER '2' in func bminer::cuckoo::Cuckatoo31SolverCuda::InitializeCudaEnviroment
Cuckaroo29 is running stable on same machine. Running on Windows 7, driver 416.34. Any help?

hey same problem occurs for me. İ found out what. virtual memory has broken  it was 70000 mb to 80000 mb.  But it has changed to 12000 mb by itsself :@   İ fixed it set it to 70000 mb to 80000mb and problem is solved  ;

Note: I am using 2 of 1080tis on win7

[diemcizone]

CPU USAGE %100 G4560 and G4400 :/ why problem?

[KartingProfi]

Why when mining Cuckaroo 29 "Grin" for each GTX1070 Miner required 6.8GB Virtual Memory, but for P106-100 6GB no required Virtual Memory?
And what's wrong with monitoring? Earlier at mining ZCash monitoring normally works. Now I see at left frame "Bminer, Status, Docs, Lang", at right frame nothing.

[dope797979]

Same here

Nicehash compatibility on cuckatoo31 have some issues in 14.3.1

Code:

Accepted shares 6209 Rejected shares 473 
Accepted shares 2106 Rejected shares 201

Have the same issue on two rigs.

Get mostly this:

Code:

[WARN] Rejected share #0 ({"code":-1,"message":"Share above target."}) 

And sometimes this:

Code:

[WARN] Rejected share #0 ({"code":-5,"message":"Invalid nonce; is miner not compatible with NiceHash?"}) 

Linux, 1080tis.

EDIT: Cosmetics.
EDIT2: Same issue with v15.
