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

[darkneorus]

please fix Beam for P106/P104 GPUs. now the hashrate is 4x lower than GMiner. no issues with other algos.
if you need any assistance with testing I'll be glad to help.

SMOS (linux) 15.5, nvidia driver 418, it doesn't work at all, fails before it even starts mining - with gtx 1660ti. Failed ti initialize CUDA enviroment. Reverting to 15.3.1 solves all

EDIT: all is ok with 1070 cards, so I guess it is a newer card problem

EDIT2: on 1070, slower than 15.3.0

Still no Swap on Cuckaroo29s?
That's sad.

We're pleased to release Bminer 15.5.0. The release provides:

  * Improve the performance of the Cuckatoo algorithm.
  * Support dual-mining ETH and VBK.
  * Add the parameter -version to output the version and exit.

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

Happy mining.

I'm having issues with grin29 after updating to this version with Nvidia 2080s 8gb.

Sample Usage of dual mining ETH/ VBK

bminer -uri ethash://0xb76d43eAaB2e905028a7f0F3aF13C7A84c477B9f.worker@eth-us-west1.nanopool.org:9999 -uri2 vbk://VAR5uzCpFNfmTDZQQmfHUgbpY7NS93.worker:pwd@vbk.f2pool.com:3500

-dual-intensity is for adjust the performance manually, so you can adjust the intensity by adding it at the end.

-dual-intensity 0 means mining eth only.
-dual-intensity 3~10 is recommended.

Hello

Here are the official data on the Verblock Block hashrate.

Hashrate expectation: https://github.com/VeriBlock/nodecore-pow-cuda-miner/wiki/Performance
750 - 800 Mh/s per 1080TI
440 - 450 Mh/s per 1070 or P104
300 - 310 Mhs/ per 1060 6GB or P106

Your miner gives out at 1060 a maximum of 7-10 Mhs. It’s not even 1 tear. This is a big minus in mining. Why was this to announce, if it works disgusting. Or are there certain nuances for setting up?

Has anyone tested which miner better on gtx 1080ti (Win 10) on C31? NBMiner or Bminer?

May I ask if you tried adjust the -dual-intensity to see if it increase the hashrare of the VBK? thanks!

Bminer is better.

Hi. Who got this too how to fix this error? :

Win7-64 Nvidia 419.67
Bminer 15.4.0 got this error, 15.3.1 is OK.

The interesting part is that sha256 matches...Either this user creates mirror or is saving scam for later

Looks like we get a very high rejected shares rate on F2Pool after upgrading to 15.5.0.

We gained about 9-10% on hashrate but our rejected rate went from 0.7% up to 9.1% this morning.

Do you know what could be the cause of it?  Does anyone have high rejected rate on F2Pool ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi, any tip what pool/port is Bminer using for devfee mining on Grin?
(like if Im mining Grin then it devfee is also a Grin based coin or some else .. sol .. ?) Thanks.

Very buggy/unstable using bminer on grin29, first it worked with my 1660ti, then I added 1070 and said the common "driver 2 error gpu died", then I set only the 1660ti and got the same error...

[wishxy]

Does Bminer work on GTX 1050ti 4GB, any experience?

It's a known issue, we are working on fixing it. sorry for the trouble.
