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

[realbminer]

working on it...

Small request from someone maintain an ethOS integration; https://github.com/cynixx3/third-party-miner-installer-for-ethos

Will you please add a version call to your miner.  E.G. "./bminer --version"
Thank you for your work on this miner, its great.

No?

I have already shared your post to another dev, not sure the exact date to add yet.

very short test on Grin29, luxor.tech pool, win 10 driver 419.35, single gpu pc i5 with gtx1070, core +160, mem +600, power 65%:
v15.3.1: 4.45 G/s
v15.4.0: 4.80 G/s with --fast option => close to 5.0 G/s after a few hours...

I noticed only a slight improvement in speed with gtx1070:
4.41 G/s (v15.3.1) -->  4.45 G/s (v15.4.0)

my gtx1070 is around 5.0 G/s on 24 h, fidelity is 1.077 (was close to 1.0 on previous version)
my gtx1080ti went from 7.6 G/s to 8.0 G/s at 70% power load with v15.4.0 --fast (+120 core +600 mem), fidelity 0.993

[hustleman]

what the virtual memory setting I need to have to mine grin with 12 1070 gpus?

[omskunreal]

CUDA error DRIVER: '2' in func 'bminer::cuckoo::CuckooStyleSolverCudaBase::InitializeCudaEnvironment' line 76
1080ti 419.67 drivers
85pl. +500 memory, 50 clock

can help me? what problem?

[twente-mining]

Sorry to say, but can't get it stable on any of my rigs, to much rejected shares, -fast function doesn't work either.

Tested on Simplemining, 1060, 1070, 1070ti and 1080ti rigs.

Sticking with Gminer for the moment.

--fast

several users have given me pretty positive feedbacks...

Well, on simplemining 1070ti, power 140 watts, core+ 50 mem 0 ....i get crap ...
Same on the 1080ti on 165 watts
28 accepted and 26 rejected is not good..

I tried the new 15.4 with the --fast flag and it will not accept any shares on thegrinpool. I went back to version 15.3.1 and it will not work either now. Is there a way to disable the --fast flag once it has been activated or is simply removing it from the command line sufficient. I am on Windows 7 with a 1070

Just remove the --fast flag in your command line it will be diabled.
Have you tried combine intensity and --fast to see if it helps? since we have tried on our rig and it helps.

What is the default intensity? I need a base to start experimenting from. Thanks

realbminer, please add job diff to miner output

With rigs that have shity cpus or high end cpus?

[biospb]

with some pools like sparkpool bminer has about 5% reject share rate. but usually it is still more profitable than gminer. which has much higher cpu usage and in general can not be used with 10+ gpu rigs.

just a hint. use pool with static diff and compare miners by amount of shares for the same time period. this method still depends on luck, but anyway more accurate than comparing reported hashrate...

[hustleman]

Can bminer only support 10 1070 gpu rigs???  The miner quits when it registers the 11th gpu.  Im maxed out on virtual memory at 77000 mb, so not sure if thats the issue or if cpu can't handle it.

[biospb]

yes, and more - 13 * 1060/1070/P104, but on linux. mining on windows is pain...

[somaton]

15.4.0 still showing this error sometimes, like previous versions:

[WARN] [2019-03-30T13:51:07+02:00] Rejected share #0 ({"code":-5,"message":"Invalid nonce; is miner not compatible with NiceHash?"})

It seems that memory was the issue.  I added RAM and now can mine with 12 gpus.

add more virtual memory

I am having video signal lag when mining Beam with this miner. i have 2 gpus and one is outputting video signal to monitor. when mining with both cards it is hard to use pc because of lag...
the pc has high end CPu and 16 gb ram

Does Linux has to worry about virtual memory for its GPUs like windows?

Does Linux has to worry about virtual memory for its GPUs like windows?

Rarely ...

On occasion but depending on the Linux distribution and how it is installed in the first place, very few issues ever arise in the swap space arena for mining.

[darkneorus]

there's a bug with BMiner and P106-100/P104-100 GPUs on Beam algo, the hashrate is too low - about 7 and 10 H/s, that's about 2x lower than 1060 and 1070 can do. GMiner works fine with them.

over 30 hours on sparkpool with newest bminer :<. Miner shown 26-27 g/s but its only 23 g/s on pool.
