ah you dont talk about neoscrypt miner? coz here are 2 versions of miner ... for HSR and fro NEOSCRYPT .... im working with neo only for now

No, I was also talking about mining neoscrypt. I just noted that your rig dropping from 8.5 MH/s down to 3 MH/s was similar to my GTX 1080 going from about 1200-1300 kH/s down to around 385 kH/s using that version of ccminer that sp_ may or may not have been claiming was superior.

In other strange news concerning hsrminer, reported hashrate once again drops precipitously after 1 hour of operation. This is really bizarre/fishy.

Also, there seems to be no difference in maximum hashrate whether intensity is set to 2, 3 or 4 - at least on my setup.

that drop is due to miner fee .... when it ends there is small iddle time .... it was written somewhere here ....
and about -i ... yes ... i have intensity 3 only on my 70s ... 80ti and 70ti with no intensity set

That's what I thought at first, too, so I decided to let hsrminer continue running for over an hour longer and the hashrate didn't change - once it dropped down to ~1150-1170 it stayed there until I restarted it.

I'm currently trying -i 5 and -c 4 as suggested by dragonmike; as of now it's been running ~50 minutes so I should have an answer in the next 10-15 minutes.

EDIT - so far the hashrate is stable after more than 1 hour of operation so once again dragonmike saves the day!

EDIT2 - still stable at around 1310.

Hello! I am very fond of your tool. But I encountered some problems with it, unstable power? Was I wrong somewhere!

nice miner, my GTX 1060 are doing around 800 kh now!

Quoting myself because sometime overnight the hashrate once again dropped down to the 1170 range, so adding the "-c 4" switch and setting intensity to 5 (-i 5) weren't the solution. If no one else is seeing this behavior then it must be a quirk of my system - Windows 7 Pro / SP1, 16GB RAM, AMD Phenom II x4 955 CPU, 1x GTX 1080 (for now - a second is one the way).

Hmmm, annoying, that.
How much virtual memory have you set? Make sure your minium value is at least the sum of all gpu mem combined.
Then have a look at cpu load. If it's close to 100% it means it might end up bottlenecking your GPUs. Then you're sod out of luck. Some miners struggle with a nvidia driver limitation. Optiminer Zero for example is just unusable if you have anything less than a quad-core cpu...

[dragonmike]

This being said, I can't replicate this behaviour because my system's a bit flaky, i.e. It will drop a card or the miner will crash every now and then... So I've set Speedfan to monitor gpu temps in the background. If one gpu temp drops and stays low for 10min, Speedfan reboots the PC.

I have manually set the paging file on my Onda board because, well... 6 GPUs and only 4GB of installed RAM, but I assumed that with 16GB of RAM and just 8GB of VRAM I wouldn't have to mess with the paging file on this rig. This suggestion makes sense though and, besides, I will be installing a 2nd 1080 soon and that would have required tweaking the paging file anyway. So now it is set to 16384MB minimum and 24576MB maximum. Oh, and CPU load has been hovering just under 10%, so even the ancient AMD processor isn't having a problem here.

As with Palgin's other miners, my pool results do not match my local reported speed. Since changing to this miner on my home mining rig the miner reported speed is around 500kh higher than my previous combination of tpruvot/1080ti and klausT/1070ti. However the reported speed at hashrefinery for that rig has now dropped to 300kh lower than before over the 12 hour test period.

Previous combined speed: 6.3kh
HSRMiner reported speed: 6.8kh
Pool average last 24hrs: 5.95kh

Since changing back an hour ago I am starting to see my pool graph go back to the previous 6.3kh. I don't know what you're doing with these miners you release Palgin, but I have yet to find one of your miners where the local reported speed is anywhere close to the actual performance.

Note: Tested Neoscrypt only, 388.something, win7 x64, coin switching pool.

Hope you can get to the bottom of this recurring issue, your miner software is very stable and I like the simplicity of the console output. I also like that I don't have to use a different miner for each card. The fee is reasonable, and will be well earned once the pool workrate matches the locally reported workrate.

I nearly didnt add this last part as I'm less than confident in my observations here, but it may help so here we go anyway. It's hard to tell but the hashrate dips may be related to large difficulty changes when switching between coin chains. I have not tested the miner directly mining a coin. This may give you a direction of investigation, please bear in mind my lack of confidence in this observation though! It would need testing with more granularity than is available on my pool graph.

So, once again the hashrate dropped from ~1320 to ~1160 after 1 hour of mining, despite manually specifying a pagefile for Windows that grossly exceeds anything required at the moment (or, really, ever...).

...

I noted something similar when I first brought up the drop in hashrate issue I've been dealing with; that the speed reported by the pool roughly matches the hashrate reported by hsrminer after it has dropped (usually, but not always, 1 hour into mining). That is to say, when I first start hsrminer the hashrate for my single GTX 1080 is around 1300, but after 15-30 minutes of operation the pool reports an average of 1120 or so. After 1 hour of mining the hashrate reported by hsrminer drops by 150 or so but the pool keeps reporting roughly the same hashrate.

Without going all conspiracy theorist here, it sure looks like hsrminer is trying to look busy while it might be watched, then goes back to loafing around the water cooler, so to speak.

3 weeks and no palgin in sight   hope you are doing well man 

I recently spoke with Palgin, he has small family problems, he promised to be later, so we look forward to his return

set swap file for 64-80g ... 6x1070ti eats 40+GB of memory

Only 1 GTX 1080 on this machine which has 16GB of system memory, so I don't need a paging/swap file at all, really. I will be adding 1 more GTC 1080 to it sometime next week - and then I might need a swap file - but I already set the swap file to 16GB minimum, 24GB maximum on the recommendation of dragonmike earlier (I honestly would have forgotten to do that had he not mentioned it, even though I did remember to manually set the swap file on my 6x 1060 Onda mining rig).

[ferall]

Running 1 rig on this to see how it goes.

80 / 200 / 700

So far on 4 x 1070Ti + 1 x 3GB 1060 = 6450 Kh/s give or take.

Been stable for 45 mins

Two requests:

Could someone possibly post an example of their bat file for hsrminer? I'm very new to all this and feel like I'm missing some stuff like the parameters (-i 5 and -c 4) you are talking about, I don't know where that goes.

Also, any recommendation for what my Paging File should be set at for "Initial Size" And "Max Size"?

I'm running 5 x GTX 1070's on a new rig with 24 GB RAM, 2 SSD drives, MSI z270 SLI PLUS and i7 - 7700 cpu. Windows 10.

Very grateful if someone could help.

Here's my batch file for mining Trezarcoin on the official pool:

Code:

@echo off
cd\users\miner2\desktop\mining\hsrminer_neoscrypt
hsrminer_neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool.trezarcoin.com:6666 -u username.workername -p password
pause

@echo off just turns off repeating to the console - it's not necessary; the line starting with "cd\" switches to the directory (er, folder) where hsrminer_neoscrypt.exe is located - you will undoubtedly have to change this to match your setup; the pause command at the end keeps the window open in case the miner terminates so you can (maybe) see what happened.

The pool I am using requires you to create an account with your wallet address, password, etc. Most pools let you mine anonymously directly to a wallet and don't bother with passwords (or, most commonly, use "x" for the password). Workername is just to differentiate between multiple computers/rigs all mining to the same address/account.

Save the above text in a file ending in ".bat" and double-click to run it.

As for paging file, the minimum size is the sum of all your GPU's memory minus system memory, with the maximum recommended to be at least the sum of your GPU's memory, assuming no system memory is available.

EDIT - changed some verbiage for clarity

This is mine

hsrminer_neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool.unimining.net:4235 -u walletaddress -p c=INN -i 5 -c 4

Might need tweaking but it seems to work well.

How much you guys are getting on the 1070?

[jugger1028]

I was having the same problems with the 1080ti, I was getting 1850kh/s with one card but after some time it would drop down to 1550 and stay there. Sometimes it was a few hours and then drop and sometimes it was longer. It was suggested to me that my video card driver was crashing in the background and although it wasn't crashing the system, the overclock software was not able to reconnect to the card and so the card was running at base stats and not being overclocked even though the software showed it as overclocked.

I was running at maximum overclock and although it was stable with CCminer, it was not stable with HSRminer. I've resolved this issue by lowering the overclock just a bit to the point where the drops no longer occurred. I've also vastly increased the virtual memory and now I no longer have this drop in hashrate. I do not mess with -i or -c and so I can't confirm if any of that works, I can only tell you I was seeing the drops daily, and now I do not.

You can check your windows logs to see if the drivers are crashing, I've never checked the logs because once I made the changes it stopped happening. Hope this helps you guys..
