it crashes upon startup for me.  no problem running HSR or KlausT.  Why is the file twice the size?

12gpu 1070ti
140/600/80%

Size of unpacked hsrminer is about 30 megabytes, after packing with vmp it's 14 mb, because vmp doesn't pack some data sections and also due to additional own code of packer/protector.

Can you give me more info about crash so I'll try to repeat it.

1) cmd line parameters you are using

2) OS type (pro/enterprise/etc) and exact version, open cmd prompt and type winver - write OS version and build.

3) what is version of Nvidia Drivers?

4) Does fork crash if you just run it without any options?

5) Does it crash if you run it with -h or --help?

Thanks in advance.

Are you mad at Hsrminer_Neoscrypt because it tries to connect to dead pools for several hours, making your farms waste time and profits?
So am I, because I'm just another miner like you, and I want my rigs to work 24/7!

And here is my solution:

This is fork of Hsrminer Neoscrypt miner.

Latest fork's version: 22.01.2018


What was changed/added:

~   0% devfee

~   API is working! By default you can connect to 127.0.0.1:4068 from the same computer. For now working api commands are "summary", "threads", "pool", "histo", "hwinfo",
     "meminfo", "help". Commands like "threads" and "hwinfo" need some tuning, as they don't show fan rpm now, will be done later.
      You can check that API is working with monitoring software like Awesome Miner, choose ccminer-style API.


~   Option -b ip:port added to control API, usage example:

     -b 0.0.0.0 will allow to connect from external hosts, for now you can control access via firewall, option --api-allow will be added later
 
     -b 0 will disable API.


~   -r N option added, where N is number of reconnect attempts, usage example:
    
     hsrminer_neoscrypt_fork.exe -r 1 -o URL -u User -p Pass
    
     This option will make miner try to reconnect 1 time if connection to pool failed and then exit.

     If you specify -r 0 , miner will exit immediately after connection to pool lost.


See fork's help screen for all options.

Here is very simple but handy AutoIt script I've made to autorun miners, especially ones with -r option. What it does:

runs specified miner in infinite loop, if miner exits due to pool connection failure (-r option must be specified), script selects next pool from your list and runs miner with it's url. If miner crashes with additional window "Program has stopped working bla bla", script kills miner's process and restarts miner with current pool url. Script adds every important event to specified log file.

To use this script you need:

1) specify your values in the beginning of the script (miner's path, .exe name, cmdline list with your pool's urls, etc) - all parameters are filled with default example ones so you will get the idea how to fill it.

2) download AutoIT3 from its homepage.

3) install autoit-v3-setup.exe, then run C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Aut2Exe\Aut2exe_x64.exe and convert this script to .exe file for easy use. Then you can run miner_autorun.exe manually or put its SHORTCUT (not .exe file itself!) into Windows Startup folder to autorun it with Windows start.

You can modify this script as you wish, and "recompile" it with Aut2exe_x64.exe

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.


You can feedback to this topic, I will try to help you if I will be able to.

I run the miner as is using a batch file i created for ccminer.exe and it shows the splash screen but it just bombs out to the prompt.
No idea why . No log file no debug.

Please help me.

Hmmm. Probably your rootkit isn't compatible with windows 10? lol

[Just_a_miner]

New version is out, check 1st msg in this topic. Added new options, also file was repacked from the scratch, sections are properly rebuilded, so it was properly packed by the packer, with smaller resulting file size.

Everybody who had crashes - if you had crash before .exe was able to show you logo - it's probably Windows 10 Forced ASLR "feature", which was introduced in latest updates, and it forces program to load at random memory address even if program is not ready for that. If you have crashes with new version try this - go to Windows Defender Security Center, App&Browser Control, Exploit Protection Settings and disable for hsrminer_neoscrypt_fork.exe next options - "Mandatory ASLR",  "Bottom-UP ASLR", "SEHOP", "Validate heap intergrity". More info about this here.
If it won't help, feedback stage of the crash - before or after logo was displayed, and also please tell me Windows version you are using - type winver in command line prompt and check ver and build, I will install same version and try to reproduce crash there as I don't have any crashes on my good old Windows 10 Anniversary Edition.

error is in event viewer, no output from the program when it crashes. Just exits silently.
command line was
hsrminer_neoscrypt_fork.exe  -a neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://eu1.altminer.net:1100 -u xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -p x -b 0.0.0.0:4030
tried without -a and -b parameters but still crashes
Hmmm. Probably your rootkit isn't compatible with windows 10? lol

Parameter -a was added in version that was released today. Dear friend, rootkit is a kernel-mode entity, have you ever seen kernel-mode miners?  On a serious note I think that most crashes are forced by aslr of win10 with latest updates, fork doesn't have relocation info of original file so it can't be moved in memory to random address as Windows force it to. I will probably manually rebuild reloc info when I will have more time.

New build also crashes just like the old one did before. Your suspicion is correct. It works fine in 1703 (Creators Update) and crashes consistently in 1709 (Fall Creators Update).

The crash happens after it shows the logo and disabling any and all of the new App & Browser control security option does not help. App level or system level. Disabling firewall does not help either.

Version 1709
Build 10.0.16299.192

Exception is the same as before (Access Violation):
    Exception code: 0xc0000005

NOTE: --benchmark mode works just fine in 1709, which may help you to narrow down the problem.

[CreamyG31337]

yeah to clarify, my crash is after the logo, just no output about any error is what I meant. And I also have all my updates installed.
Windows defender is disabled but I'll try what you suggested if I'm able.
-edit-
disabled those 4 things but it still crashes

1709
16299.125

[SCSI2]

Bet it's a bug in 1709.

Will try to install the newest insider build (17083) to see if it works there...

...and it does indeed work under Redstone 4 Build 17083. Basically the next major version of Windows scheduled for launch in Spring 2018. I did nothing to change the default settings of the exploit protection stuff. It just works...

I like the fact that API finally works in Awesome Miner!

[ap0stol]

Hello!

Can you help me with unpacking hsrminer?
At now i can dump exe to 32mb sized file.
After that i try to fix import table with scylla but it doesn’t help. Produced exe file open and close immediatly.
Maybe you can provide some info?

Ps
Can’t PM you

Thanks for detailed feedback, I'll update info in 1st post. I will install Windows 10 1709 and try to pinpoint the problem with crashes.
I'm glad that you like working API, I will try to improve it, so it will correctly show temp and so on.

The interesting thing is that API already does show temps correctly in the terminal output as well as in AM on one of the boxes which is running RS4 Build 17083 (screen below). Still zeroes on the vanilla 1703 (Creators Update) as well as the other box with RS4 and 8x 1050 Ti's...

What it really needs though is to show the job progress (Accepted/Rejected shares). Overall I'm really pleased with the performance and stability so far. The rig on the screen below has 9x EVGA 1080 Ti SC running at 100% TDP and pulling total of 17.05 MH/s consistently. This is ~1,900 kH/s per GPU on average and I'm sure it can do 2,000+ if maxed out. I think my Celeron G3930 is a bottleneck here... BTW, at the pool side, NiceHash is registering even slightly higher values (~18+ MH/s) and pays accordingly. Hard to believe! ... Guess I have to upgrade a few more rigs to RS4 now

[UselessGuru]

Everybody who have crashes, please check your Windows 10 version. Thanks to detailed feedback of user SCSI2 it's now clear that fork crashes on Windows 10 Version 1709 Build 10.0.16299, but works fine on earlier versions like 1703 and also works on newer version (insider preview build 17083). I will investigate the issue with Windows 10 version 1703 and will try to fix it.[/color]

I am on Version 1709 Build 10.0.16299 and see a slightly different behavior:

When started through NiceHashMinerLegacy it works. The hash rate reported on NiceHash matches miner +/-.
Miner crashes when run from command line or through https://www.multipoolminer.io (Shows splash screen, then exists silently) using the exact same command line options as with NHML.

I have tried all kinds of Exploit Protection settings to no avail.

HI!
Thank you! Test!.

Crash on Windows 10 1709 is fixed! Check new version at 1st msg of the topic.

Thanks for the info, will see what I can do about temps. Nice powerfull rig, what psu's are you using?

Crash is fixed, check new version.

[giveen1]

Giving your version a try, seems pretty good, hopefully no disconnect issues like I have with pladgins.
