Zealot/Enemy (z-enemy) NVIDIA GPU miner (ver2.6.2 - kawpow RavenCoin).

[mo35]

do you have Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redist installed ? that dll from redist package

[sergey1301]

At the moment - x16r is the fastest and best miner I'm grateful to you for the fact that I no longer have to use - sp.

As for antivirus software - guys, do you want to mine or do you not?
AV software blocks mining software for a reason it can be smuggled in and used to mine for
some bad guy, but hey, you can use a hammer to build a house, to smash your own fingernail accidentially, or even to kill someone. LOL
Enemy miner has a reputation now. Just don't download it (or any other miner) from some shady websites, official source only.

Hi,

Is there any reason Titan XP's get around 2 - 6 mhs slower than 1080ti's on this miner?  it's the opposite on some other algo's like cryptonight heavy.  I'd of though this card should be able to be around 5-10% better than the 1080ti's since it is effectively an unlocked one?  Happy to learn more/take advice.

First of all, what OC do you have on both cards? Is PL > 90%?

For a wild guess, the reason might be in different memory types.

Uhm... why does the zip file from the link in the OP for the windows version not have the z-enemy.exe included? Running any of the .cmd files, including the one I edited for Suprnova, just spits out a continuous stream of...

"z-enemy is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

Am I seriously missing something? I've got Nevermore and Suprminer working just fine.

[edit]- Okay... just tried it again. It shows up after extracting, then disappears after a minute or so. Probably being quarantined or something. I'll have to look into it.


[edit 2]-

Windows defender has quarantined it. Go to windows search and type in defender. Click on Threats and Virus protection then Threat history. You'll see an option to allow it, if it's still there and hasn't been permanently deleted yet. It'll then show up under Allowed Threats.

Uh, yeah... that. Windows Defender Security Center > Virus and threat protection > Virus and Threat Protection settings> Turn off Real-time protection > Extract Zip > Add or remove exclusion > select z-enemy.exe > Turn Real-time protection back on.

[pixel8or]

Is there an explanation for this?

I did a search for "Bluteal" here on the forum and only found one reference to it in the Claymore Dual Miner thread.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.msg38476655#msg38476655

Also found a mention of it at github for xmrig.

https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig/issues/85

Same advice given in both instances... add it to your exclusions.

Malwarebytes and Spybot Search & Destroy are calling z-enemy.exe "clean" on my system.

Hi everyone!!

I am new using this miner. Have started using it today mining RVN coin. My rig is a 6 GTX 1070 Ti and my config is 70% TDP, +200 clock and +700 mem.

It is running stable, really stable the only thing I notice which I do not know if it is normal or not is that the MH/S output of each card changes a lot. I never go lower than 77 Mh/s but it can go higher up to 120 Mh/s so I wonder why is it not stable at the higher end?? Right now it is sitting at 95 Mh/S

Max output from the cards that I have seen its around 21 Mh/s and obviously I would love to keep it there constant. I have also notice that the cards are not using all the +200 clock setting but stay well below it.

Anyone with same cards that could share his output and settings? Another way to make it more stable on the higher MH/s?

Also my difficulty is gone to 160 (I guess it is normal) but I have notice than sometimes I miss one or two consecutive blocks without submitting any shares so I wonder if because of that my payout is going to be less than If I drop the difficulty on the .bat file

Any ideas?

Sorry for all this questions but as I said just started mining RVN and using this miner today, few hours ago so It feels I am starting mining all over again

Thank you

At first, it is recommended to never set powerlimit below 90% for stable and efficient work of Zealot.
If you start having stability issues at 90% PL, drop your core and mem to +0 and then gradually increase to stable values.

For the x16r and x16s algo the hashrate shown in the miner can be very different through time, because there are a lot of "basic" algos inside x16r/s, "fast" and "slow".
Better to watch your average hashrate on the pool.

Thank you for the info!! I thought it was the switching between the algos but wasn´t sure. The miner runs really stable at 70% it hasn´t crashed since started and only 2 rejected shares so far so I think this setting is good.

Pool side reports around 76 MH/S but I assume that to be normal as has to be reduce by 1% from the miner console due to dev fee

After running the miner for like 6 hours + I do not seem to be getting the performance whattomine and crypt0zone say I should. It is supposed to be 380 coins in 24 hrs so about 15.7 coins per hour with 77 MH/S and It doesn´t seem to be getting there.

Anything I am doing wrong? This is my bat file:

z-enemy -a x16r -o stratum+tcp://us.ravenminer.com:5678 -u address -p worker1,d=24 -i 21

As I mention before I run 6 GTX 1070 Ti with V1.10 on windows 10 64bit Nvidia drivers 391.35

per my own experience this is not the most accurate calculator and actuals earnings are less.
also you allways need to consider that network hashrate is allways fluctuating so you will never ever get accurate result as any calculation, the calculations itself are only presumptions

Yeah your are right about that and the difficulty has gone up as well so the earnings go down a bit. I still think is too much because by now I should have 30 coins more than what I have so that is 10% less pretty much.

How you guys doing with the rejected shares? I have 0.65% rejected which I belive it is really low.

[lordvek]

Keeping the powerlimit at 90% or above is essential for high performance for z-enemy.

In addition, try comparing -i 20 with -i 21. For some cards -i 20 is the threshold above which performance actuall degrades.

[darkneorus]

what's the logic behind lowering the cards power limit, guys?
it's obvious that the card will force to downclock itself when hitting the limit and lose performance because of it

I've personally never touched the power limit, but I've always lowered the core voltage, with proper overclock it won't restrict your hashrate at all.

Thanks for the info

I understand regarding intensity that 20 could be good but 21 will degrade the performance so means lower hash? I have tried before with 22 and 23 and both crashed so only 20 and 21 good for me and seems to be ok wit 21 (it has never crashed)

Power limit to 90% sounds to much unless you do not have to pay for electricity. And the description says it will be more stable between 90-110% PL but that doesn’t mean more efficient or higher performance. For me stability is about crashing and rejected shares but I could be wrong so please correct me by all means

I do not totally agree with your description. In my case I have GTX 1070 Ti and been mining ZEC for 2 months.

In my little experience if I keep the power limit to 100% with +200 clock and + 700 men I get pretty much 40-50 sols/s extra mining ZEC but power draw from the wall it’s really high like 180W each card plus the CPU, motherboard, SSD, PSU and RAM so about 1180W. That in money for me means 849,6 KW per month and I pay 0.0840389 €/kw so around  72 euros in electricity per month.

By lowering the PL or TDP I try to find the sweet spot for the card to run full power with the overclocking settings without any downclock because it has reached the limits. For my cards (and my make MSI and EVGA) 70% TDP with +200 clock and +700 mem seems to be it so basically I only lose those 40-50 sols/s extra on ZEC but the power draw from the wall goes down to 870W which means 626,4 KW per month so 52,65 euros.

That all means I lose 4/5 euros per month with the lower hashrate but save 20 on electricity so overall I win 15 euros. To that you can add lower card temperatures lower fan settings and more life expectancy I would say.

Maybe you do exactly the same with the voltage but that’s unknown to me, never played with it and would need some mentoring to learn how to use it properly.

If I said something wrong please anyone feel free to correct me. I have used ZEC as an example because that is what I have been mining so far so can’t say anything about RVN and zealot enemy miner.

I have seen videos on YouTube, rigs with same cards as mine and everyone seems to be getting around 77mh/s using similar settings so I am not really that far off. My average now in ravenminer.com is 80 MH/S so can’t complain.

I think the lower performance is due to the fact that I am in Europe and connected to US server so more ping, and sometimes more rejected shares, the difficulty on RVN has gone up since yesterday and the pool hashrate fluctuates from 270 to 420 GH/s plus as someelse mentioned, X16R has different algos so my cards go from 10.5 MH/S with slow all the way to 24 MH/S with fast.

Anyway I have only been mining RVN for 24hrs so have to wait a bit more to see real numbers. The only thing I do not fully understand is why whilst the miner is submitting shares constantly (like 6-18 per minute) sometimes I can mine for 25 minutes without a single payment on the pool.

Any hints are appreciated

[Cuem]

I don't lose any significant hashrate by lowering to 75% of power so I am lowering it.

[lordvek]

Lowering the PL can result in much nicer temperatures as well as power draw from the socket, yes,
you need to find the balance. For Xevan algo I got a 5 C temp drop when I switched from 100% to 90% PL with
almost zero hashrate drop. However being at 80% PL got me significantly lower hashes.
The most optimized and/or capable GPU is 1080ti as I have seen. For it drastic improvements are observed with z-enemy.
With my 1080 and 1070 I don't get that much relative +, sob.

where is the post for the new z enemy 1.11 ?
