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

[Vadisss]

There are two identical rigs 1060 6gb, Win7, 418.91. One works fine with Bminer 15.3.0, the other writes:

Bminer 14.3.1 both works fine with NiceHash, changed the NVidia driver and C++ does not help.

Tried to change "uxtheme.dll" from another rig, failed to change. What am I doing wrong ?

the c29 solver does not work on CUDA10 with 2070 and 2080
can you fix this please?

Hi, there is problem with RTX card in 15.x.x version on C29 and windows 10

RTX 2070 and 2080ti has 0 accepted shares and 0.00 hasrate
C31 works fine on RTX
C29 works fine on GTX.

Problem is only with RTX on C29 and Win 10 in my case (other Win version I didnt tested)

@cervajz @burster51

working on fixing the problem, thanks for the feedback.

Could someone please share their .bat file setting for grin29 on grinmint?  I tried to run it last night, but it wouldn't run.  Thanks in advance.

    bminer -uri cuckaroo29://personal%%40gmail%%2Ecom%%2Fworker:password@us-east-stratum.grinmint.com:3416

replace ´´personal´´ with the beggining of your email, then replace ´´gmail´´ with your provider. change ´´worker´´ to your worker name, change ´´password´´ to whatever password you like and it is done.

Then log in the website with your password to see your miner. Give it 5-10 minutes to update and start showing info.

Otherwise, follow the link in grinmint website to the Bminer guide:

Hi, there is problem with GTX 1660ti in 15.x.x version on C29, both windows 10 and linux (smos)

gtx 1660ti has 0 accepted shares and 0.00 hasrate. It is doing something, since it draws power from the socket like it is mining, but nothing happens. I suppose it is the same problem as with RTX cards

15.2 and 15.3 have be visible worse than 15.1 - Ubuntu 16.04, G3930, 13x GTX1070 per rig, Nvidia 415.27.

Both 15.2 and 15.3 report higher hashrate, but the pool hashrate is 15-30% lower than 15.1.

Something is wrong here.

[sirkorro]

Both 15.2 and 15.3 report higher hashrate, but the pool hashrate is 15-30% lower than 15.1.

Pool hashrate should be measured in long run. 24h at least.
I'm on NH with 15.3 for more than 24h now.
HiveOS shows 22.3~22.9, last 24h avg on NH gives me 22.7. Seems about right.

Who said I didn't do long tests? I stated very specific hardware configs which most likely don't apply to you.

Fair enough.

There are two identical rigs: 5x1060 6gb, Win7, 418.91. CPU different: 1. AMD Athlon II X2 2.9GHz ,  2. Intel Pentium CPU G850 2.9GHz .

The 2.- works fine with Bminer 15.3.0, the other writes:

Excellent miner.  Thank you very much!

Mining grin29, I was using GrinPro, getting around 20gps @1kw, with bminer I'm getting over 30gps @ 1.2kw.

2x 1080ti @ 11gb
2x 1080 @ 8gb
2x 1070 @ 8gb

I have 6*1080Ti and 15.1 works fine, but 15.2+ cpu overload... Celeron G1840
What CPU recomended for 15.2+ ? Pentium Dual Core, i3 or better?

I have no problem with bminer 15.3.0 with i3-6100 on ubuntu-16.04

[logitech69]

Asked this question before but no reply... Is there any way to fix the atiadlxx.dll error? Pops up as soon as I launch the miner. 1070Ti rig on Win 10.

Any help would be appreciated....

I need more information about your rig.
May I ask what's your CUDA version and the Driver version.
Can you run Bminer 14.3.1 on it? thanks!

Hi,
The driver version is 391.35, CUDA Driver Dll version is 9.10, Runtime Dll version is 6.50.
Bminer 14.3.1 works, but any version after that crashes with the atiadlxx.dll error.
Attached a pic for reference. Thanks.

Thank you, Dev.
15.3.1 works fine!

[Vadisss]

Again, the same, but only on one rig:

Bminer: When Crypto-mining Made Fast (v15.3.1-8887ee1)
Auto detecting devices
CudaError: Unknown error: c:\windows\system32\uxtheme.dll
Miner died! It will be restarted soon...

[realbminer]

We’re pleased to release Bminer 15.3.1. The release provides:

* Slightly improve performance of Cuckaroo29 / Cuckatoo31.
* Reduce CPU usages of Cuckatoo31.
* Fix the regressions of Cuckaroo29 on RTX cards.
* Fix the incorrect reportings of Ethash speed to the mining pools.

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

Happy mining.

[dafuzz_rsa]

CPU Usage MUCH better with this release! Thanks!
