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

[cirlama]

We’re pleased to release Bminer 15.0.2.

The release improves the fidelity of Cuckaroo29 on 1060 / P106 / 1070.

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

win 10 latest drivers grin on luxor.tech:
1070: about 7% less on 15.0.2 (4.01 G/s) vs 15.0.1 (4.27 G/s) @70% power load
1080ti: similar reduction on grin31, grin29 is not stable enough on both versions (hangs after a few hours)

I haven't upgrade since 13.2 which I'm currently running on a couple 1080tis, 1070tis and some 1070s.  Which version since 13.2 is everyone running on that I should upgrade to at this point.  Any insight would be appreciated, thanks

Most will say 14, it seems to be the fastest, I say 15

[vapourminer]

im still on 14.1 on win 1709 with a couple 1070s and a 1080ti, and 14.0 on Ubuntu with a 1080ti.

tried a couple later versions but these were the most stable and i generally value stability over speed.

[wheelz1200]

Thanks, appreciate the feedback.  Will make the upgrade tomorrow or so and check out the differences.  Cheers

win 10 latest drivers grin on luxor.tech:
1070: about 7% less on 15.0.2 (4.01 G/s) vs 15.0.1 (4.27 G/s) @70% power load
1080ti: similar reduction on grin31, grin29 is not stable enough on both versions (hangs after a few hours)

Same bad results on 27 rigs with P106

How does the fidelity number look like? The reason why it is slightly slower is that we observed 1060 / 1070 have lower fidelity. As a result 15.0.2 trades a little bit of speed for more fidelity.

Can you please post the fidelity numbers before and after 15.0.2?

the 1070 was on v15.0.1 for 24 hours and fidelity is 1.005, 4.24 G/s on miner, 4.30 on grin.luxor.tech 24h hashrate,
switched this evening on v15.0.2, will update tomorrow

Now that you mentioned it, what is this "fidelity" that I see in the miner? I haven't noticed anything called "fidelity" in any other miner.
I though it'd have to do with a combination of power consumption and speed, but I can't figure it out!

We’re pleased to release Bminer 15.1.0. The release provides:

Improve performance of Cuckaroo29 / Cuckatoo31.
Experimental support Cuckaroo29 on AMD cards (ROCM only).
Improve compatibility on Windows.
Fix the regression on UI dashboard.
Reduce reject rate of Cuckaroo29 / Cuckatoo31.

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

Happy mining.

How to run Bminer on AMD cards.

You can specify which cards that Bminer should mine on using the -devices options.
While Bminer runs on the NVIDIA cards by default, you can prefix the device IDs with amd: to run on AMD cards.
For example:

Code:

bminer -devices amd:0 -uri beam+ssl://3a13205ec464807c9400f0fde8d56ac49da03bb3812055f08844fe2eaf0b9166.worker@beam.sparkpool.com:2222

Then, Bminer will run on the first AMD card on the system.

Bminer can be run on AMD cards mining beam and Grin(Cuckaroo29) from now on.
