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

[doktor83]

Can you please add some option similar to -li (low intensity) for claymore miner.
System is too laggy with your miner.
Thank you.

well lower your intensity and it won't lag

V1.4.1
- Added optional parameter reboot_script which if defined disables built in watchdog, and runs a user defined script

Ok guys, another option you wished for is added now  

You can disable the built in watchdog if it's not working for you, and run a .bat instead on GPU crash.
Put the parameter "reboot_script" : "scriptname.bat" in the config file, or just use the .bat i provided (reboot-windows.bat), which restarts your machine.

Can this reboot a rig if it freezes? Same as this method? http://jkcrypto.com/automatically-restart-mining-rig-if-freezes/

Lol, nice joke man=)

But didn't help. Even if i lower it to 1 its still laggy. Claymore -li make it slower for ~10% and absolutelly without lags.

doktor83 loving the new miner! I'm still trying to automate the whole process. Running a stack of Vega's can be troublesome as we all know. Downtime kills everything. The new auto restart script is great but still having issues getting the miner to restart upon auto-reboot.

First off if I make a schedule to run "start.bat" or if I just include "start.bat" in the startup programs, it will not run automatically on windows 10.

"SRBMiner-CN.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Waiting for  2 seconds, press CTRL+C to quit ..."

Thoughts on that?

Second, cards still need to be disabled/enabled to hash proberly. I know there is "JJs_Reset_n_Run_Tool" script. Is there a way to integrate that into SRBMiner or are you working on a way to automate this yourself?

Thanks for everything!

Not sure what language you code in, but where you get the temperature from the GPU can you add

gpuTemp = getGpuTemp();

If(gpuTemp > config.getMaxGPUTemp){
     System.exit(0);
}



Thanks;)

also, I'm running blockchain driver. is this still optimal for this miner?

Have you tried right clicking on the start.bat file and creating a shortcut too it and adding that shortcut here

%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Cant remember what Doctor's original Start.bat had but also add timeout /t 15 or something of that nature to the beginning so your system 'climatizes' before the start of the miner

That's probably because you copied the .bat, you need to make a shortcut
Still have a lot to implement before these fine tuning stuff.

i´m getting on some pools about 2% rejects because of expired blocks...can you check this if miner can look faster for new jobs or if block is still valid?

Hah yeah, that will be an option when i implement the amd display lib, i already implemented overdrive next api, but that is for latest gen cards i think the oldest card that it supports is r9 290.
SO i have to play with older versions, etc.

[doktor83]

is this on nanopool?
I get this only on nano

on haven.miner.rocks for example, maybe its related to pool & not to your software. idk

[doktor83]

maybe try changing to a closer server to reduce latency

Hey dok,

What's the word on all the rejected shares when mining at nicehash (about 5%)?
Could a fix be found?

Getting both outdated and invalid nonce rejects.
In comparison, gateless gate gives 0 rejects but speed is not on par poolside.

Same problem. Tried ggs too, 24 hour no rejected share

I really don't know what could it be, maybe GGS is not showing rejected shares ?

Maybe it's not sending them to the pool (they don't show up there).
My ping may be a little bit high too.

They are reduced after switching to 1.4.0 ~ 3% now.
From what I can tell your miner is the best there is for v7 at this time.

Could a lower intensity help? Been using auto values so far.
It would be great if you could have a look when you have some spare time.

Keep up the good work and thanks.

I'm trying to use the individual GPU settings to change intensity for possible problem card, however, I can't get it to respond to the config file. It just responds to the topline (global) intensity of 120. If I delete that intensity line it just reverts to 0=auto. How do you get the individual GPU setting take president over the global settings?

[goodminer]

Can someone give me an example of commands for simple bat file, this is too complicate with separate files config, pools etc...
Can we use single bat file to run this miner, like with Claymore for example?

you take of the commenting (/* and */) , so :

"gpu_conf" :
[
   { "id" : 0, "intensity" : 0, "worksize" : 8, "threads" : 1},
   { "id" : 1, "intensity" : 20, "worksize" : 16, "threads" : 2},
   { "id" : 3, "intensity" : 30, "worksize" : 16, "threads" : 2},
   { "id" : 4, "intensity" : 0, "worksize" : 8, "threads" : 1},
]

not

/*"gpu_conf" :
[
   { "id" : 0, "intensity" : 0, "worksize" : 8, "threads" : 1},
   { "id" : 1, "intensity" : 20, "worksize" : 16, "threads" : 2},
   { "id" : 3, "intensity" : 30, "worksize" : 16, "threads" : 2},
   { "id" : 4, "intensity" : 0, "worksize" : 8, "threads" : 1},
]*/

why is it complicated ?

config.txt :

{
"cryptonight_type" : "normalv7",
"intensity" : 0,
"double_threads" : true,
"target_temperature" : 0,
}

pools.txt :

{
"pools" :
[
   {"pool_use_tls" : true, "pool" : "pool-address", "wallet" : "wallet", "password" : "x", "location" : "europe"},
   {"pool_use_tls" : true, "pool" : "pool-address2", "wallet" : "wallet2", "password" : "x", "location" : "europe"}
]
}

Then just run start.bat and off you go.

[Lunga Chung]

good additional options:

- "0,1,2,3,4,5" etc turns off/on gpu during mining
- add to the "s" command current OC settings (this will be usfule when awesome Miner adds support, hope soon)
- "p" - to cycle trough pools list on the fly during mining



if i come up with something more interesting I'll let you know

Good job so far

[HansHagberg]

With all these new cryptonight types, it would be better to keep that parameter in the pools file per pool.
Now it's not possible to keep all coin configurations in the same directory.

Config parameters probably also has to be different for different cryptonight variants. At least, that's the case with XMR-STAK and others.
