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

[jasta more]

How mine C31 on W10 ?
Is there an option to play with in drivers ? A specifiic driver version to use ?
Here on 1070ti

You can't on win10,use win7 or linux

[xarix]

Hands down, the most stupid, unreliable, user unfriendly miner ever made in cryptography. Congrats!

I am unable to use bminer on windows for any algo, I get this error:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer difference
[signal 0xc0000005 code=0x0  addr=0x20 pc=0x140d562b0]

Windows 7
bminer 16.0.6
EVGA 1070

Same error on Win 7. 384,94 driver, 16.1.0 bminer.

And "Failed to initialize the CUDA platform: CudaError: Could not initialize the NVML library" on Win 10.

And "Failed to initialize the CUDA platform: CudaError: Could not initialize the NVML library" on Win 10.

For the issue about "Could not initialize the NVML library": From what I've seen, Bminer tries to load 'nvml.dll' from the folder 'C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI\'.

Older nVidia drivers used to install nvml.dll in this folder, but with more recent nVidia drivers, the file nvml.dll is only installed to the folder 'C:\Windows\System32\'. If you manually copy
'C:\Windows\System32\nvml.dll' to the folder 'C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI\', Bminer should work.

@realbminer: The preferred solution would be to update Bminer to look for the file in the correct location. Thanks!

We're pleased to release Bminer 16.1.0.

* Support for BFC and Cuckatoo32.

Thank you for the Cuckatoo32 support!  I've been using Bminer for Cuckatoo31 for a long time.

That said, Cuckatoo32 mining is not very stable.  I'm running Ubuntu with Nvidia 1080ti cards.  It runs good for about 5 minutes, then it has GPU issues, where it can't communicate with one ore more of the GPUs.  I'm using the exact same config as Cuckatoo31.  I've tried reducing OC, but that doesn't seem to make a difference.

Here is what the log shows:

Mining Cuckatoo32 using gminer is more stable, but the hashrate is 20% lower and CPU usage is much higher.

[Lukke]

Is it possible to mine Grin using Bminer and 1060 3GB with C32?

[fenikstomek]

hi i have 2 x 2080ti
my oc in simplimining is:
Core MHz: 145
Memory MHz: 750
Power: 245

My Hashrate 5,45.

Can i get more?

[fenikstomek]

I have start mining Cuckatoo32 and it's still crash me 2080Ti. Don't work stabil.

New versions are not working on GTX1050 Tİ. I don't know why..

Hello,
Why I keep getting this error - bminer could not initialize the nvml library? Can someone please help, thank you.

Hello,

If you run Bminer and get an error saying “Failed to initialize the CUDA platform: CudaError: Could not initialize the NVML library” then there is nothing wrong with your mining hardware, the problem is in the Bminer. The reason is that newer Nvidia GPU drivers have moved the nvml.dll library that the miner uses into a new location and Bminer is looking for the NVML dynamic link library in a specific location, so even if you copy the DLL file in the same folder where the miner is it will still not work. If you are using newer Nvidia drivers you will have to copy the “nvml.dll” file from the “\Windows\System32\” folder to “\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI\” and have in mind that you need to create the NVSMI folder there as it will not exist and then copy the DLL. Running Bminer after copying the library (do not move the file, or other programs might stop working properly, just copy it!) to the specified folder should eliminate the error message and the miner should start normally again.

not working here at all: Cuda error: Unknown error c:\windows\system32\mscms.dll. Miner died it will be restarted soon...
