SRBMiner Cryptonight AMD GPU Miner V1.9.3 - native algo switching

[doktor83]

[...]
+ If you want to use only one pool, or it's important for you to define a pool thru command line, not in pools.txt, you can do it now. Example:

SRBMiner-CN.exe --config config.txt --cpool pool:port --cwallet yourwallet --cpassword yourpassword
[...]

This option is working great. I can finally start miner with a parameter and also add pools and wallets to environment variables. Thanks!
Few hundred rigs just received new software

I know i'm pushing my luck, but if content of config.txt could also be used as a parameter then i would be totally fulfilled.

Wow, thanks a lot

Thanks. Any plans of integrating something a bit easier on the eyes into SRBMiner?

+1 Network error/stale shares/error compute same as castxmr.

I guess i have to put this on the wishlist too

is it possible to implement fastjobswitch option also like castxmr?

its possible but i don't want to, that just discards some shares that could possibly be accepted.

I understand it will discards some shares that could possibly be accepted, but I did compare before with and without that option in cast xmr using nanopool, in long term with that option got more shares accepted. I don't really understand also with nanopool but if you don't use that option using cast xmr you will get more outdated job.
anyway that is just an option so user will freely used it or not depend on their needed. but if you decided not to implemented then it's your choice also.

Another bug report for Pool.txt reload (actually related to my previous bug report)

When reloading pools.txt, SRB miner reports the connected pool as the first pool in pools.txt, even if you are mining on the others.

Now, reload does not disconnect from the currently connected pool, and that's awesome, please do not change that behaviour. I use pools.txt to do coin switching, so I may be naturally mining on the 2nd or 3rd pool etc etc., they are not backup pools.

A delayed pool switch or an immediate pool switch to specific pool is also still a welcome addition, to avoid unnecessary connections and loss of hash

Guys, how is the latest driver 18.4.1 faring compared to 18.3.4 using SRBminer?

I didn't realise the major Windows update would flatten the display drivers (f***ing Microsoft). I now have the choice between putting my previous driver on or use the latest.

Any experiences to share?

EDIT: oh well, what the hell, went with the new driver and... no big change in hashrate.

thank you.

Mini suggestion: If reloaded pool's first pool is different from the currently connected pool, change to the first pool instead of the second.

Now, reload does not disconnect from the currently connected pool, and that's awesome, please do not change that behaviour. I use pools.txt to do coin switching, so I may be naturally mining on the 2nd or 3rd pool etc etc., they are not backup pools.

Ok, i already made it work like you first suggested:
If on pool reload first pool on the list is the same as the currently running pool, no pool change occurs , but when pressing P the next pool is the second from the list.
But if after pools reload the first pool on the list isn't the currently running pool, immediate pool switch happens to the first pool from the new list.

Hi @doktor83, I would really like to see more logging information in the log file. A starting point would be all the text that is yellow in the miner command window - Temp, Fan RPM, Clock Speeds, etc. There is also some info missing in the logfile when I hit 's'.

V1.5.5
- No need for all that stuff in start.bat anymore, because watchdog can now restart the whole miner process without it
- Fixed kernels 3 & 4 for heavy algo
- Fixed OCL binary caching for Vega cards
- Added last job received info in stats and API
- Added 'job_timeout' parameter to pools config, it reconnects to pool if no job received for 'job_timeout' time (in seconds), default is 5 min
- Pool reload now checks if current pool is first in reloaded pools list, if not, it switches to first pool


+ Finally, start.bat has been cleaned, as of now miner (watchdog) can restart itself. (woohoo)
Now you can run multi instances of miner if you need to, without renaming hacks etc.. Every miner instance can restart itself.

+ Kernels 3 & 4 couldn't mine heavy algo, as no result was ever found. Fixed.

+ New parameter that goes in pools config is 'job_timeout'. If not set default is 300 sec (5 min). This can be helpful if for some reason the pool stops sending us new jobs, after the defined time the miner automatically reconnects to the pool.

+ Pressing 'r' reloads pools (defined through CMD line + pools list), and now if it finds the currently running pool on the first place in the new list, it just sets the pointer to it, and pressing 'p' to change pool will jump to the second pool from the list.
If the currently running pool is not same as the one on the first place on this new list, miner automatically connects to that new first pool.

Hi and thanks for the updates.

Is it possible to configure SRBMiner to simply terminate in case it run into any crashes/issues - so it doesn't restart itself?

When using SRMMiner from applications like Awesome Miner, it's preferred to let Awesome Miner detect and restart any crashed/stopped mining processes.

Thanks!

Hey man, just downloaded this release for the first time trying the miner.
I'm using 6 RX580s overclocked correctly (no noob bios flashing shit)
I been using Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3 with a total hash on Stellite coin of 5120
Now with your miner I'm getting 4841 only, much less hashrate. Intensity is 0

Double Thread Enabled Gives me 5100, this is closer to Claymore

Is there anything that can be done to try and tweak this for higher hash for me to switch to your miner.
Claymore one is currently dev free now.

Sorry can you clarify that bit? What exactly are kernels 3 & 4? You mean GPUs 3 and 4 would not have found any share prior to this update?

I Apologize, I will consider on the future. (corrected)

[heavyarms1912]

@doktor83.  Is there a virtual memory requirement or free ssd/hdd space requirement when compiling the kernels and copying over the device?

[eduardooaz]

From my experience Micron kinda shit for cryptonight, my hynix at  1150/2100 can do 1050hs but i got 1 micron at 1150/2200 com PB timmings and doing around 940h/s. and sometimes  it starts at 1020h/s but go down to 940h/s, its a shame atleast at heavy the values are not stable.
No 1 wanna share some good timmings for Micron for cryptonight? PBE timmings not giving good values

[eduardooaz]

Cryptonighy-Heavy.  1200+ H/s on RX 570 8gb (Micron).  Also, serving as primary display card so couldn't push them too far.  Makes my Vega 56 look bad hashing at 1400 H/s  

https://i.imgur.com/D6pGkAF.jpg

have left them hashing at 1130 H/s 1250/2200 clocks @ 906mV.

Are you using PBE timmings? me at 1150/2200 clocks i got 930h/S
