Funakoshi Cuda miner is fast and clean from viruses (windows, ubuntu, fedora)

[funakoshi]

I am proud of my latest creation (worked on it for many months).
I have published the zcash, zclassic, ... solver at
   github.com/funakoshi2718/funakoshi-miner
just a few hours ago.

Why yours compared to any others around here?

Hi,

trying with 1070ti on Zcash (flypool), but only getting:

Code:

[TOTAL (15 sec)] 0 I/s, 0 Sol/s, 0 Accepted, 0 Rejected

Some machine is working flawless with DTMS, EWBF etc.
Running on Ubuntu...

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Andy



Btw. How to exit from the miner? (currently need to kill -9 ...)

Anybody knows how to install this miner on eth os ?

The command-line argument   -cd 0    requests to mine using first nvidia card.
See the usage example in the github.

To mine using 2 cards you should pass the arg -cd 0 1

If you don't pass -cd (cuda device) arg, you will get 0 sols.

Soon I will add api support.

funakoshiMiner is virus-free. No trojan. This is very important.
It uses SSL (secured).
It is fast.

needs more work 4 1080ti's getting 2580 h/s. ebwf gets about 3000 at same settings. This miner also uses quite a bit of cpu resources.

Let the pool decide which solver is faster.
Check what the pool says after a few hours of running.
funakoshi should be faster.

Also ignore the first report of counters.
It is lower due to handshake with the pool.

Have been running it with the following command:

Code:

sudo ./funakoshiMiner -cd 0 -l eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3334 -u xxxxxxx.rig

That still produces 0 Sol...

Anything else I can do?

Hi Andy

I have tested flypool from Ubuntu.

However I used:
     ./funakoshiMiner -cd 0 -l eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3443 -u xxxxxxxx.rig0

Please use ssl port 3443

In the log you can see that connecting to wrong port 3334 has failed.

No need to sudo.

Thanks Andy

Tested on lowend machine - E2180 4gb ram, 2*1070Ti, Win7, driver 390
makes ~ 700 h/s, vs 960h/s from dstm 0.5.8
Could be due to higher cpu usage, 40-50% vs 20-35% of dstm

The sol/s change all the time.

Each 15 secs different counters are logged.
Some of them higher and some lower.

This is due to the statistical nature of the equihash algo.

How did you choose 700 sol/s. Is it the lowest/highest/avarage?

Funakoshi miner reports each 15 secs the exact avarage in these 15 secs.
The sol/s normaly change each 15 secs (in range of tens per sec per device).

Miners should check what the pool says after a few hours of mining.
Let the pool decide which miner is faster. Miners get their fee from the pool.

Hi,

I'm such a fool - a little typo in the port number and I'm blame your miner not working.
Please apologize, that was totally my fault.
Miner is running and reporting around 380-412 Sol/s, while DSTM was reporting like 490-495 Sol/s.
Let's wait and see in a few hours what Flypool is reporting ;-)

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,
Andy

Hi,

some early reports from my testing concerning mining speed:
(linux, 1 x 1070ti):

Funakoshi:
Miner: 350-410 Sol/s
Flypool: 437 H/s (6+ hours)
0 stale shares, 0 invalid shares
CPU use: 90%

DSTM 0.5.7:
Miner: 490-495 Sol/s
Flypool: 485 H/s
0 stale shares, 0 invalid shares
CPU use: 6,5%

Good thing: Funakoshi is running rock solid (as DSTM is)
So, even at the pool side I don't see any benefit from use Funakoshi.
While I appreciate other miners and competition, I looks (at least from
these early results), that it still needs some work ;-)
Anyhow, first results are promising, and you may find some ways of
squeezing some more Sol/s out of your miner!
Maybe you want to consider a 0% dev fee until you reach a performance
level that is more closer to the competitors?

Cheers,
Andy

Thank you.

[funakoshi]

Thanks Andy

You are very kind.

I will improve the performance of my solver.

Funakoshi (if this is your name?),

If you find ways to improve it - please go for it!
I really think competition between different miners is a good thing. Furthermore I believe that dev fee is something totally acceptable - if the dev fee is worth the performance and stability. The market is big enough and great and reliable miners will always find plenty of rigs to mine on.
Finally I wouldn't focus too much on Windows. No serious miner (with more than really small number of rigs) will use Windows, because its hell to maintain and never stable as a Linux system...

Cheers,
Andy

[boo50]

added support to Nibirupool (ssl ports) and .bat examples for easy miners setup.

[funakoshi]

I have improved the performance of Funakosh-Miner 

Now the solver doesn't use much CPU.

As a side-effect there is a jump in solves-rate 
both on Windows and on Linux.

You are welcome to download the new release and try it.
