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

[realbowler]

Can we use this miner to mine Epic cash CuckAToo31+ and progpow?

[Dr_Victor]

realbminer!
Why don't you fix the error about dll on starting for nVidia? You are losing thousands of users!

testnet pool for BeamhashIII - http://testnet.raskul.com:8010/
mainnet pool with stratum-ready for BeamHashIII - https://pool.raskul.com/

feel free to use my pool for your devfee - we have designed a rewards system which benefits blockfinder with a (variable) bonus.

please see https://medium.com/@rgsnedds/beam-open-source-pool-e68bae4ca06f for more info

Tried bfc. Used mine_bfc.bat
Changed wallet and pool.
After launching miner gives error - bfc solver not found.

Is it about nvml error? I got that error when mine btg. I wat test ccminer mine hanacoin, nothing error found. Hope dev fix it soon.

What about bfc? It didn't work. Error: "Indefined but requested solver: bfc" even if launch .bat file from miner archive without changes.

And it's possible to mine eth on nicehash? If yes, how? I'm always recieve connection error. Tried ethash, ethstratum solvers.

What does the "-managed" option do? It's not explained either in --help or on the webpage.

Also, can we please get an option to disable NVML like most other miners out there? This saves CPU on systems with many GPUs as the driver is not hogged as much. I'm not interested to know temperature and power that often.

Could you also please also report the share difficulty as well for every new job? Or at least when the difficulty changes.

[cryptoyes]

I tried bminer 16.2.2 for cuckatoo32 over a 24h period on a buncv of 1080ti cards and the pool hashrate is nowhere near as high as the one reported by bminer ... bminer reports about 20-30% more hashrate. This has been a problem for c31 as well ever since bminer added c31 (and was never fixed) and I see that c32 does the same. I can compute the actual hashrate from the shares because the pool uses a fixed difficulty of 1, and I get the same values as the pool.

Why don't you fix it? You seem to be computing somethign wrong when displaying the number of graphs/s. Am I the only one getting this? Gminer is accurate.

for automatic transition to BeamHashIII I must use beamhash2?

Use beam to automatically select correct algo.

That is what the website says (https://www.bminer.me/examples/)

bminer -uri beam://3FfuYv6SNge5Vm5onsiqts7hoYNA2kfvmM@beam.usa.nicehash.com:3370
</small>

When you specifies `beam` as the scheme of the URI, bminer will automatically mine using the BeamHashIII algorithm when the upcoming hard fork is implemented.

## Specifying devices

You can specify which cards that Bminer should mine on using the `-devices` options. While Bminer runs on the NVIDIA cards by default, you can prefix the device IDs with `amd:` to run on AMD cards. For example:
