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

[bakermining76]

Mining C31 with version 15.0.0 for 20 hours on SMOS:
Rig 1= 1080 x2 (0/0/150W) + 1080Ti x2 (0/0/225W) with one crash and average 4.34gps in miner. Pool hashrate 4.1gps.
Rig 2= 2080Ti x1 (0/0/225W) with no crashes and average 1.91gps in miner. Pool hashrate 1.83gps.


Mining C29 with version 14.3.0 for 24+ hours on Windows 10:
One rig a single 2070 (75/750/80%) with no crashes and average 6.17gps in miner. Pool hashrate 5.97gps.

My 2070 would not run C31 on SMOS due to insufficient memory.


Prior to dropping my overclocks, I had stability issues on C31. Also, Bminer can't read the device status for the 2070 on Windows. (SMOS and Gminer on Windows both read it fine, so its not an issue with the card itself).

Author, remove "AMD" from name of topic. Your miner didn't support AMD cards.

It does support BEAM on AMD:

https://www.bminer.me/examples/#specifying-devices

Speed is too low on BEAM on AMD cards. Not all pools supported.

Getting this problem what is bad with my config file?

[george2019]

well i tested new gminer 1.33 build for few hours and bminer 14.0 build still has highest average 24 hour hashrate on f2pool, 31g/sec vs only 28g/sec with gminer latest build, bminer itself reports only 27.2g/sec on my rig (4X1080+1X1080Ti TDP 70% memory +500 + some core oc)  while gminer has 28g/sec and about same hashrate on f2pool, maybe bminer has some extra tweaks that suits better f2pool, rejected shares is 1% for bminer and 0% for gminer, i think it's something to do higher fidelity in longer periods that bminer has, gminer has less fidelity per GPU than bminer for both 1080Ti and 1080 GPU

You've done all right, but miner didn't support amd cards for cuckaroo29/31 algos.

[mably]

Note: if you want to mine with multiple gpu. Run miner for each gpu  one by one.  thats the tip

FYI, this doesn't solve anything.  Rig keeps freezing whatever the number of bminer processes, even with one per gpu.

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.

I have the same issues.

@realbminer
Thanks very much for your support of 8gb c31.

system:
motherboard TB250-BTC BIOSTAR
cpu: g4600
ram: 8 gb ddr4 ram corsair
rigs: 7 cards
gpu: 1070 and 1070 ti gigabyte
psu: corsair 2x1000w gold
OS: linux hiveos
bminer: 15.00
grin: c31

All rigs mistakes:
1070 and 1070 ti gpus miner dies repeatedly and starts again, sometimes 10 minutes sometimes 2 hours. I've tried all overclok settings or even did zero. sometimes the average load is too high
Although the hiveos power is adjusted to 120w, sometimes 200w is happening on the cards. There is imbalance in terms of power.
and 10-20% in pools too rejected.

Yes i have 1070 gpus restarting sometimes too. and power consumption is unbalanced. İ am using win 7.
What is hashrate of 1070ti? I have 1070tis but in win7 there is memory error

Guys how are you able to get 1.2G/s per GTX 1080Ti at stock speed? I am unable to go above 0.6G/s per card with stock
Cards are at 50°C, so definitely not an overheating issue. Is here anybody with 6 GTX 1080Ti's on one rig running total at 7G/s?

OS: Win 7 x64
Drivers: 416.34
CPU: G3930

I get 1,33 G/s per 1080ti in a 6 card rig all 1080ti, but I'm using linux...

It could depends on GPU model. I get from one card 1.3 G/s and from the second only 1.1 G/s. Both on WinX system

I am able to get 1.2 G/s per every card, but only for 2 or 3 cards running at one time. When i add GPU 4,5,6 speed of all cards go down to 0.6 G/s.

make separate bat files for every gpu. Same problem occured for me i solved like this.

I have already tried that, but after 4 instances running, CPU is at 100%. Then i am unable to run remaining two. Performance is degrading even if every card is run on separate miner. For C29 is perfect stable for weeks at 39 G/s.
CPU: G3930
RAM: 4GB
MB: Z170-Gaming K3

addition: this looks like a memory leak, will you be able to fix this in 15.1?

Hi realbminer,

wonderful that you cuckatoo31 work on 8GB cards. There seem to be some memory allocation issues, I get on several cards the following

Hi realbminer,

the ct31 on 8GB cards is buggy and has high share rejection rates up to 30-40% on f2pool

It is a problem pool side on f2pool, I switched to luxor, no rejected shares.

We need to spread the hash anyways, it is impossible that f2pool has that amount of hashrate...

[ZombieWorm]

Hi guys, love your miner - question though, I hope your supporting the new Swap (XWP) and get the miner working on it?

Thanks

[borox]

Will Bminer support Swap (XWP)? The first CryptoNote coin fork to mining with Cuckaroo29s (Similar to Grin's Cuckakroo29).

Swap info: https://swap.fyi/

Miner info: https://twitter.com/sebseb7/status/1097053608724570112

I second that! Please add Cuckaroo29s

[TempestEikyuu]

Yes. Another miner has added Cuckaroo29s, so please do it. Fast!

[cryptoyes]

So no fix yet for the new malloc, CopyEdges/CollectEdges, etc errors introduced in v15?

I returned home today and I noticed that from the usual 14 hashrate I had, it was running at 1.5 per card.
I checked the pool and the speed had fallen about 2 hours after I had start the miner.

I'm using the previous version of 15.0 and 1080ti on latest Windows 10 with latest drivers.
Have this happened to anyone else?

v15 is a bit problematic for some (judging by previous posts).
Best to rollback to 14.3.1 and wait for fixes.
