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

[max64rus]

Which one is correct?

• cuckaroo29://
• cuckaroo29d://
• cuckarood29://

Correct this: cuckaroo29d://
But doesn't work!!! WTF?!

Goldminer is slow but work with new grin 29d. Use this miner before bminer will fix error

Use gminer, it gives the maximum hashrate

I compared all 4 miners currently available for cuckaroo29d using single 1080ti(while encoding at the same time).
gfxoffset: +125, memoffset: + 1000(windows +500), pwr limit: 160W
bminer: 5.44(avg)-5.78(peak)
gminer: 5.25(avg)-5.39(peak)
nbminer: 5.22(avg)-5.46(peak)
lolminer(opencl only): 4.23(avg)-4.24(peak)

downgrade 1080ti to 1070ti? nonsense

Its used for encoder, not for miner. Proves that bminer is more memory intensive than others. In most cases the Pill can boost it more than with others.

Very strange settings. I have on my 1070 5(+-0.1)gps in sparkpool. MSI AB - 75PL +50gpu +200mem and i have cuda force p2 state = off (nvidia profile inspector)

Compare bminer vs gminer vs goldminer use msi gaming 2070 (TU106-400-A1) (P2 = off, 100PL +50gpu +0mem (default 7000/14000 mhz):
bminer: 6.4-6.5 gps
goldminer: 5.3gps
gminer: 7.3gps

Your test is incompatible with reality, but in reality the bminer loses to the gminer and nbminer

[realbminer]

We're pleased to release Bminer 15.7.1.
The release provides:

* Improve the performance of the Cuckaroo29d algorithm.
* Fix the issue that the Cuckaroo29d failed to start for Turing-based cards.

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

Your test is incompatible with reality, but in reality the bminer loses to the gminer and nbminer

Here are some reality tests:
MSI Armor GTX 1070 - core +100, mem +900(+450 windows), PL: 130W
bminer: Hash - 5.52 G/s, Fidelity - 1.973
nbminer: Hash - 1: 5.23 g/s , Fidelity - 1: 2.356
gminer: Hash - GPU1 5.21 G/s , Fidelity - GPU1 1.773

I will repeat again, bminer is tolerant to memory optimizations while other miners seem more compute bound.

I keep getting rejected shares and then it restarts and does the same. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have a gtx 1060 mining to f2pool. All was good till the update. Did the update but still getting rejected shares. F2pool says Bminer only works for c31 for now is that right?

Having same issues as well. Been using Bminer for months already and did not have any issues. For the hardfork i downloaded the latest version which was 15.7.0 at that time. This version gives a slightly different error message: CUDA error DRIVER: '500' in func 'bminer::cuckaroo29dSolverCudaBase::InitializeCudaEnvironment' line 81.

So i downloaded the one posted today which is 15.7.1 and it doesnt give any errormessages at all it just says: Miner Died! It will be restarted soon. Which keeps repeating.

Running on windows 10 with CUDA9 and 1x GTX1080-FE.

Some guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

NONE of the Cuda/Nvidia drivers are working with bminer now.  I have tried them ALL.  Since I cannot get a response from anyone at Bminer, I will switch to another miner.  Its a shame really.   Wish everyone would just use the latest versions of drivers when offering something new to the public.  But, noooo lets use drivers from 2013.  smh.   ...Oh yeah, those dont work anymore either.  Im done.  Enjoy yourselves.  Gminer just as good  and at the moment, its far better.

...tbh, Raven is more profitable right now anyway.  Probably because everyone that cant mine Grin now have switched.  Think I'll join the masses.

We're pleased to release Bminer 15.7.1.

Happy mining.

Hi @realbminer,

I am running a P104-100 (4GB VRAM) farm. Prior to the hard fork, your software made 4GB cards compatible with C29. Now, after the fork... our entire farm does not work with C29d.

It would be a miracle if you could please, once again... provide solver ability for 4GB Nvidia GPUs. All rigs are on the latest HIVE OS platform.

Thank you in advance!

[realbminer]

We're pleased to release Bminer 15.7.2.
The release provides:

* Improve the stability of the Cuckaroo29d miner.
* Reduce the CPU usage of Cuckaroo29d miner.
* Support 5GB cards for Cuckaroo29d.

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

If more and more miners are mining the same coin the difficulty goes up and the profitability goes down, it's not the other way....
