Hello!

I'm glad to inform you that NPlusMiner support has been added to www.brucomining.com, our cloud platform for mining rig monitoring.

If you use our monitoring server, instead of the standard one, you can have additional features like:

• realtime email notification (multiple recipients) when your rig goes offline/online
• profit statistics per rig (live, 10min, 1h, 1d)
• nice dashboard, mobile friendly, secured with your credentials
• aggregation of different mining software in one single dashboard

You can find some screenshots on our website or our twitter: https://twitter.com/BrucoMining

Check it out!

@MrPlus Can I request a small improvement?  When the miner has been paused, display some sort of really obvious indicator on the main screen to show that it's paused.  Like a red box or something.  I sometimes need to pause mining to do resource-intensive work and I often forget to resume mining it once I'm done.  There's no visual cue to tell me that.  I made a small change to the code in NPlusMiner.ps1 to make the form background red (just one line: $MainForm.BackColor = "Red") when paused.  It looks like crap (because the labels remain with a grey background) but definitely draws my attention  .  I'm hoping you can make it look more professional.

Thanks.

Window color seems a bit too much
Will try to integrate some sort of highlight in next version.

Next version should be coming by end of week.

A question:
Is there a check about profitability? i.e. take in account the cost of electricity

Not in current version sorry

@MrPlus Thanks for the ongoing updates!  Loving NPlusMiner.

Btw, small typo in the post above.  Should read "Released NPlusMiner 4.6.0" 

And a question:  Any issues you are aware of with RTX 2080 Ti cards?  I'll be getting one shortly, just wanted to make sure NPlusMiner won't have issues with it.

Thanks.

Thanks, fixed the typo.
No issue reported on RTX cards. Nemo his heavily testing on these and all is good.

I have problems using Tpruvot and Klaust miners
I always get empty list of -d parameter:

Bin\NVIDIA-CcminerKlaust\ccminer.exe -b 4068 -R 5 -a skein -o stratum+tcp://skein.mine.ahashpool.com:4933 -u MYBTCAddress -p ID=NemosNV,c=BTC -d

Thats the actual command line.
It was same on 4.5.9
I just delete ps1 files for these miners ...

And on start I get several msgs in console:

ConvertFrom-Json : Invalid JSON primitive: .
At C:\Mine\_Nvidia\Include.ps1:501 char:43
+             $Content = $_ | Get-Content | ConvertFrom-Json
+                                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: ( [ConvertFrom-Json], ArgumentException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.ArgumentException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ConvertFromJsonCommand

Any idea?
The rig is 4*1060 + 3*1070Ti on H110 BTC, Windows 10

Cannot reproduce.
Could you make sure you have the latest version on the miner files? May be download them from master.

   - Pools update
      - **! ZergPool is back !**
   - Miners updates
      - Zjazz
       - Added BitCash (nlpool only right now)
       - Note that hashrate on nlpool is wrong at this time. Using a temporary fix to get estimations right. Will be changed when nlpool ops fixes the issue.
       - Zjazz does use CPU a lot. Therefore, CPU mining is automatically disabled when mining it.
      - Added x16rt (No pool yet)

I have a suggestion for GPU Count routine, a way to detect if there is Disabled video adapter:

Code:

$DetectedGPU = @(Get-WmiObject Win32_PnPEntity | Select Name, Availability
, ConfigManagerErrorCode, ConfigManagerUserConfig | Where { $_.Name -like "*NVIDIA GeForce*" -and $_.ConfigManagerErrorCode -ne "22"})
....

$DetectedGPU | foreach {Update-Status("$($i): $($_.Name)") | Out-Null; $i++}

Result will be  only Nvidia Geforce adapters which are enabled currently
Currently used code is (line 315, Include.ps1)

Code:

$DetectedGPU = @(Get-WmiObject Win32_PnPSignedDriver | Select DeviceName, DriverVersion, Manufacturer, DeviceClass | Where { $_.Manufacturer -like "*NVIDIA*" -and $_.DeviceClass -like "*display*"}) 
.....

$DetectedGPU | foreach {Update-Status("$($i): $($_.DeviceName)") | Out-Null; $i++}

Lists/counts disabled video adapters as usable

I had to hunt&find an adapter making my rig to randomly freeze, so I started disabling cards one by one...

Nice suggestion but we won't be able to determine the ID of the disabled cards after that.
Might need more work but great idea.

Thank!

Do we need these? Atm , when I have  1 disabled card, Nplus will always try to run the miner vs 7 cards, when 6 are available - so it fails

Problem is even if it knows there is only 6 cards active it doesn't know is it needs to use 1.2.3.5.6.7 or 1.5.4.5.6.7
So problem is the same.
We'll need to find out how to manage this part.

[restless]

Actually it simply needs to run cards 0,1,2,3,4,5 - because Windows & drivers see/use only the 6 enabled cards - disabled one is "non-existant", thus no need to find which card is disabled (its still possible via comparing dev ID - but unneeded). GPU-Z will list the disabled GPU, but the CUDA "tick" is empty e.g. this card is not reported as CUDA-enabled

Though if I get some time, gonna make a function which can get how much RAM different gpus/id have - so algo which needs more RAM won't fail. Though again it won't be very oftenly used
