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

[stsocrat]

1. SRBMiner-CN.exe --config Config\config-normalv8.txt --pools pools.txt
OK!

2. SRBMiner-CN.exe --ccryptonighttype normalv8 --cgpuintensity 0 --cgputhreads 2 --cpool pool --cwallet wallet --cpassword password

Initializing OpenCL devices, please wait..

Can't open config.txt

Why?

Hi Guys

I recently upgraded to v1.7.2 so that I could mine FreeHaven. I was using AMD drivers 17.11.4 and it was running really well for a day until it crashed. I could start it up and it would run again for a few hours. SRB miner was telling me I should use newer drivers so I tried 18.5.1 and 18.6.1 but with these the miner won’t even start! I’m also running windows 10 1709 build.

I can get this version of the miner to mine other CN algos.

I have also noticed that even if I set in the config double thread false it still applies double threading? I never used double threads with the other CN coins I mined as the rig was more stable. I just can’t seem to get this version of the miner to not double thread!

This happens with all the algos, does anyone know what it’s doing this?

Did you clear the cache?

Still looking into why my 8 GB card running slow than my 4 GB cards on CN-Lite V7.

4 GB runs around 2 khs
8 GB runs about 1.7 khs

I"ve tried alot of different combos with threads, worksizes and intensity... I went all the way up to 200 intensity with dual threads work size 8... Runs slower... I tried worksize 16, slow.... Seems like I top out at intensity of 130/8/2 at 1700.

Hey dok, got any input on this one?

HYC dev prepared new xmrig miner with hyc_cryptonight algo. Doc could you create the same?

[gregshawdj]

Did you clear the cache?

I’m not sure how to do that? The rig reboots each time it crashes so wouldn’t the cache be cleared anyway? I set it to mine Tritainium last night and even though it’s running double thread (even though is set it to false) the rig has run all night. Would still prefer to be able to turn the double threading off. Not had this problem with the other versions of this miner.

Have you tried moving the intensity away from 0 ?
0 = auto settings, so it won't use any of the settings you set. [double_threads for example]

Depends what are the changes. I will check it out

Is this only on 172 or on older versions also?
On 172 Vegas have a lower hashrate on algos with <= 1mb scratchpad, i don't know about other cards, haven't tested.
I won't be fixing this because algos with <= 1mb (mox, cn-lite, dark) will soon be out of date, mox will change algo, probably others too.
If you want to mine these algos, use older version of SRB.

No. It's been like this, but I just never got around to fine turning the cards.

There is a folder within the miner folder that gets created that stores the cache kernal. Delete them and try again.

Come on man !!! Please make a try
We are dependant on you. We r waiting for ur release on 1mb algo ....

Hey Doc,

i have a quick Question about the Devfee.

I am currently testing the Cryptonight Profit Switcher, Version 6.0.0. The Profit Switching closes the Miner complete and restart it when a Algo/Coin Switch accure.

Question: What is is this case with the DevFee? Do i have to "pay" it with every new Miner Start or do you have done some Modifications for this case that it is stored that this Miner has already paid the Fee?

THX
Oliver

You can use manual and auto switching using:
https://github.com/hesido/cryptonote-switching-relay-proxy

This allows fair dev fee during switches as it uses SRB's native algo switch methods.

How much should i increase virtual memory for each vega 64 8gb red devil card?

Im using 8gb virtual memory for each vega.

Thanks

Pool switch is not working for me. What is wrong here?:

{
"pools" :
[
   {"pool_use_tls" : false, "pool" : "pool.supportxmr.com:7777", "wallet" : "44Vg26iCszYfzVX1oyc6E4ifcyFgAh6QjgDsftaW8XER5XxkB7AS28jCq3tMqupREXf4YjHp6zhFhT", "password" : "V", "max_difficulty" :40000},
   {"pool_use_tls" : false, "pool" : "gulf.moneroocean.stream:10008", "wallet" : "44Vg26iCszYfzVX1oyc6E4ifcyFgAh6QjgDsftaW8XER5XxkB7AS28jCq3tMqupREXf4YjHpd", "password" : "V:8", "max_difficulty" :40000},
]
}

If i use only one pool it works fine but using two when I switch the miner does not connect.

Hey Guys,

do you habe experience in Profit Switch Strategy’s? What is the best timeframe to stick at a Ago before switching again?

[netian80]

Hi.
 
Thank you very much for your SRBminer.
 
At present, I have encountered the following problems. Is there any solution for that?
 
I have run each machine with the cmd line using each machine name (rig name) as '%COMPUTERNAME%'.
Now, to test the algorithm switching using the proxy, I have to configure it to the 'pools-algoswitch.txt' to start the algorithm switching.
I have not been able to use my computer name as the machine name, so I want to know a way to switch with the cmd command line and a way to automatically put my machine name in the configuration file.
 
Modifying all the configuration files will waste a lot of time for me.

Report from me ...

Yes this is it the best miner today. V1.7.2 give me the highest hasrate on 470/480/570/580. Thanks doctor.

Im using 8gb virtual memory for each vega.

Thanks

you have to double it
so, the virtual mem should be at least double GB per card

Example:
a rig with 2x gpu 4GB and 3x gpu 8GB -> the virtual mem should be at least 64 GB
