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

[doktor83]

Another one problem - it's happens not too often but sometimes miner gives error - "Invalid nonce; is miner not compatible with NiceHash?".

UnclWish, I have this issue as well. And just like you, not too often but sometimes.

this error can not be avoided, this is something specific to stupid nicehash and their custom protocol.

doktor, may I suggest to post average time to new job along with average time to find share in the statistics block?

How to start remote api ? what to write in config file ?

Bug in 1.5.9

I tested the max_difficulty:
When reached the value set, program restarted OK but from "CryptonightV7 mode enabled" to "Heating up system" took more than 1 minute.
After that, even restarting Windows, every time I start 1.5.9 it takes more than 1 minute to start, about 1:20
Had to go back to 1.5.8 to have a normal start.

max_difficulty isn't restarting the miner, it's only reconnecting to the pool.

Hi, there may be a problem configuring for Electroneum pools. Everything seems to go ok but no shares are ever found.
Miner never reports submitting a share and pools never display receiving any.

:Edit, why is it immediately after posting the solution comes to you!
You have to specify --algo 1

:Edit again, nope still not right, works on Cryptoknights pool but not Spacepools

Doktor is working on a coin switcher (YAY!), but until then, you can try out this one, I forked from an existing project and made some UI enhancements, Pushbullet support, Miner dropdown selection support, and very basic HTTP-auth to add a tiny bit of security when using from external ip.

You need to install node.js for this. SRBminer (or any other miner) connects to this proxy and you can switch between coins (or pools for same coin) at the click of a button, and this does not cause any hash rate drops during transition, and you do not have to go through every item in pool list to reach a coin...

edit: I use this to switch coins from my mobile using this, so there's that I don't have to use team viewer or anything.

If SRB sports an algo change using the job json message, this could in future be used to switch between different algo coins I'm also going to implement coin switching based on difficulty / difficulty + btc value of coin.

Spacepools just started to mine on main net again. They were mining empty blocks until this morning (so was MPH and probably a majority of other pools). They seem to have switched back to mining on the proper chain now so you should give it another go.

Coin switchers are overrated.
None of them are giving you an edge. There's always going to be somebody who's faster or more powerful than you and will "steal" your blocks from all those useless Yiimp pools. Add to that the fact that you don't get proper market data (you usually only get "last paid price" from the exchanges as opposed to "bids"), and massive latency (hours!) between the moment the switcher decides a given coin is most profitable and the effective time your mined (and matured) coin finally gets exchanged, and the whole exercise is completely ludicrous.

The good trading/switching algos out there are already flattening the market. Look at the various profitability calculators online and check with your hashrate. On average, the profitability difference between the 5 top coins will be within a negligible 5%.

This is within the last hour Im getting these issues

there is no --algo parameter in SRBMiner, i think you are in the wrong thread lol

I got that all wrong, as you say you dont need --algo in SRBminer.
So its probably a Spacepools problem as Cryptoknight pool works and they dont

Coin switching has been very necessary for me, I do manual switching though.

I may switch based on just difficulty alone without looking at price so I mine more of a coin, or I may switch to a valuable coin that I convert to BTC. I use this proxy so I'm able to switch coins using my mobile and it's quite inefficient when switching through a remote desktop solution and pressing "p" button to reach the coin you want, only to have your hashrate drop and wait for a few blocks to get it back up.

The automated one I'll try to do will let you decide based on difficulty (do not mine when difficulty is so high), or a combination of difficulty and price, and maybe something in between. I hope Doktor's version also takes account this, sometimes I don't care about the value of the coin, because as you say the price is very hard to determine (Solace, anyone? It switches between 2 or 3 satoshis massively deceiving the profit calculators, however, I just switch to it if I can mine enough of those, not looking at the price) And low hashrate coins are very vulnerable to pile-up's due to coin switching of mass hash-rate sources (nicehash etc.) so you may be getting very little half of the day until powers that be pile up on another coin. The (difficulty) / (weighted exchange rate) approach could be a nice compromise for switching (esp. for low hashrate / per block or small gap  difficulty adjusted coins)

Sometimes on version 1.5.6 with same configs, cards rx550 has hash rate 508 but somtimes 518-520

The same behaviour on 1.5.8-1.5.9

Slow speed http://dl4.joxi.net/drive/2018/06/07/0020/0406/1319318/18/abbdd13a59.jpg

Fast speed on the same rig, but one card very slow.  http://dl3.joxi.net/drive/2018/06/07/0020/0406/1319318/18/7eeafe8096.jpg

This behaviour start from 1.5.6 version. Is it possible to run always on fast speed ))

[666damien666]

Doktor,

i also have issue to report

goes like this
have 4 rigs, all 4 of them go from xmr stak to srbminer1.5.8
each rig 6x Vega 18.5.2
all 4 rigs run super stable with srbminer
one of the rigs i restart for some reason after like 2000 minutes of uptime
other 3 rigs run for like 3000-3500 minutes of uptime and then all crash at approximate the same time
the miner stopped saying  GPU hashrate 0, restarting miner, but miner could not restart, even by process kill or try to reset PC, it hangs in reset process. Only hard reset help

Why would all miners stop at same uptime?

Anyway, I reset all so can´t really say what happened or give any more details, but i will monitor this time and see if it happen again

Otherwise, i fell in love with your miner.

i have the same Problem, It got better with windows 1803 and amd driver 18.5.1

now after 3 days, when the gpu Crash, the Windows freeze...

[livada]

Sory kaj pisem na naski al prekomplicirano mi objasnit na engleski

Nakon  par dana testiranja  evo zakljucka.

Verzija 1.5.8 definitivno radi brze  od 1.5.9

Cak i 1.5.8. ako ne koristis "gpu_conf" : za svaku karticu posebno nikad nece upalit taj veci HR -to je cirka od 30-50 HR po kartici.
Verzija 1.5.9. nikad ama bas nikad nije dala taj veci HR.

Znaci pregledaj zasto verzija 1.5.8. ako zadajes pojedinacne gpu daje veci HR.
 i tada nekad moras 2-3 puta upalit minera al nakon toga daje veci HR

Haven switch from Cryptonight Heavy next week to Cryptonight Haven (a slight variation on Heavy to shake Nice Hash influence). It would be nice to add this in now like you have with Stellite V4 so its ready to go at launch.

Hi..

First.. Thanks for this solution!

Question: How can I set "password" for each pool?  (parameter required to use "worker" in each rig)

Could you give me an example?

Don't want to hijack thread, but you set password on the srbminer's own config, it's passed onto the pool. However, if the pool needs special template different from other pools, you can add in the pool currency setting:
"passwordtemplate" e.g.
....
"host":"haven.miner.rocks",
"port":"7777",
"passwordtemplate": "w={%1}"
"url":"https://haven.miner.rocks/",
"api":"https://cryptoknight.cc/rpc/haven",
....

This is yet not documented and this is a new feature not present in the original repo.

If you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact me through direct message..


Guys, windows updated to 1803, everything is down the drain.. Any guidance to get back to mining ?!!!
