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

[ztaz]

again with the latest nvidia drivers 436.02 win10/64
an old error appears ...

"CudaError: Unknown error: c:\windows\system32\nvapi64.dll
Miner died! It will be restarted soon..."

when already fix the miner ? why it works only on "selected" nvidia drivers ... an error falls out in the rest ...
roll back to old drivers again ? where is the solution to the problem

agreed, Gminer and NBminer works fine on latest drivers (grin, beam etc..)

Perhaps this is a miner problem, not a driver. Much depends on the version of the miner, for example, the latest version Nbminer gives me an error where, and the previous one works fine.

Same error here on a fresh win10 and fully patched install with Nvidia drivers 436.30

We're pleased to release Bminer 15.8.4.

* Improve the performance of BeamHashII algorithm on RTX cards.

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

Happy mining.

There are not more details on this link. Why don't you update the performance pages?

[RivAngE]

Why are you guys asking for updates?
Is there anything worth mining with GPUs?
Don't expect a developer to do free work.

[dalibord]

Still no use for 2080ti and Grin31. Will skip again.

I have an error on the last version:

Use windows 10, 436.30 driver, rtx 2060

Don't expect a developer to do free work.

but wait, there is no free work! there is developer fee integrated into the miner and it is mentioned on the first page of this topic.
so it is ok to ask developer to fix bugs, and I assume it is in the interests of developers to fix it as well, cause that would mean stable work of miners and more dev fee..
also profit from gpu is still there, all you need for that low price for electricity ( or free electricity)

Maybe something has injected trojan or another Malicious

[MATHReX]

For some reason getting very low hashrate - 20Mh/s (vs 32Mh/s on phoenix miner) on RX580 on ethash. Am I missing something?

Sapphire RX 580 8GB Pulse.
2125 MHz memory 1150 MHz core
Claymore 30.7 mhs
Bminer 29.8-30.1 mhs

No issues here.

Hello.............

I have a question : will Bminer 15.8.4 detect rx 5700 xt and use it for mining ?, thanks.

@bminer

We have a situation with bminer's error handling and NVML. Sometimes bminer can't get the proper response from NVML (fan, temp, power) for some cards and shows the misleading 1C/1W/1% stats. It would be much clearer to show them like 'N/A'.

NV driver 436.48, Win10, BMiner 15.8.7. The same well known problem:

The updated Nvidia driver in your rig is causing this error in Bminer.
As of now, there is no solution to it except to downgrade your drivers.
DDU the old drivers in safe mode and clean install 430.39 driver version.
It should rectify your problem.

Its not working even after DDU and 430.39 clean install

[Karlitosss]

This is stupid, I don't know why they just don't fix it. They will get profit out of it with the fees.
