CryptoDredge 0.8.0 — NVIDIA GPU Miner [obsolete]

[Vokas123]

1080ti, phi2, 8.2Mhs, 95TDP, -50mem, 68C 

?? it does 9.1+ on 1080 Ti and lower TDP

Didn't play with settings at all, just left what was in Afterburner for previous algo I used.

[cryptodredge]

Is Devfee fixed or it still increasing the powerlimit to mine it?

CryptoDredge has never changed the power limit.

Ok, is it mining the same algo that user is using? You know what im talking about, lots of complaints some pages ago.

If you are using Lyra2REv2, Phi2 or Lyra2z, the miner will not switch to another algorithm on the devfee session.

On my Desktop with 2 x 1080,  It runs good and rotates with other Miners without issue, though My computer started to Blue Screen on me after installing it.  Since taking Cryptodredge out of the available miners, system is stable again.

On my dedicated Miners however I running into issues with Crytodredge.  When switching to another miner ( software ) sometimes it doesn't close down, causing it to run in tandem with other Miners, other times when switching algos to another coin that also uses crytodredge, it will open a new window for the new algo, but not close the original one.  Something else I noticed is Cryptodredge seems to be very CPU instensive.  Both my Miners ( 4 card and 8 Card ) had their CPU's maxed out when running it.  These systems are running a Pentium CPU LGA 1151 socket on an ASUS Prime X270A motherboard.  Makes me wonder if a faster more powerful CPU would aleviate these issues.  On my desktop I am running an AMD threadripper 1950x, Rotating to other miners (software ) is never an issue.

Any thoughts?

Question.
I have setup Crytodredge with Sniffdog Miner.  On my desktop with 2 x 1080 it works great no issues.
But on my miner Rigs ( 4x 1080 ti and 8 x 1080 ti ) upon changing to another algo using a different mining software(ccminer for example) that is more profitable, Crytodredge doesn't close.  It continues to run at the same time as the other program.  Any thoughts on what would prevent Crytodredge from closing when its supposed to?

All Systems are running windows 10.
Desktop has 32 GB of DDR4,  Miners have 8GB of DDR4

All Systems are running off an M.2 SSD

1080ti are +85 Clock + 190 Memory, 95% Power
1080 are stock, 100% Power
All cards are limited to 75C

Only doing Lyra2RE2 on all systems for Crytodredge, as other miners were faster on other Algos.

Thanks for your report. We'll check it.

I setup Crytodredge again on my Sniffdog miner.  This time I manually set the intensity to 5 ( default was 6 ), So far everything is running well.  The interesting thing was going from 6 to 5 did not result in any significant drop in hashrate.  Its only been running for an hour on my miners.  Hopefully it runs glitch free the rest of the day.

new version verygood for lyra2z.

so fast to mine more than ccminer

[notsure85]

faster than t-rex on 1080ti lyra2z, impressive dude!

[madmack1]

wow smashes it on lyra2v2 with my 1080ti on ubuntu.
 I was getting 68- 72Mhs with some ccminer variant. this comes straight in at 81.5Mhs, with no overclock settings touched.
Mabey you could add xevan algo in the future?

Great miner so far!

Is it possible to get current hashrate via API instead of average?

[whitesites]

I have found with most mining software, they all start out with lower difficulty and gradually raise it over time.  The problem is the final difficulty they usually settle on is usually too high.  Which ends up submitting shares every 10-15 seconds, instead of every 3 -5 seconds.  This can be the difference between getting a share of a coin and not when coins are mined faster.  I have already set the -d option to set a static difficulty, but that is only effective once all my cards are gotten their hashrates up.  It would be nice if we could have the miner start at a lower diffculty to ensure we get those shares in when the rig is still spooling up, then to max out at our specified hashrate. 

Just a suggestion for future development.
Thanks

If you're familiar with the PowerShell, you might use the following code:

Code: (summary.ps1)

$Client = [Net.Sockets.TcpClient]::new("127.0.0.1", 4068)
$Writer = [IO.StreamWriter]::new($Client.GetStream())
$Reader = [IO.StreamReader]::new($Client.GetStream())

$Writer.Write("summary")
$Writer.Flush()
Write-Host $Reader.ReadLine().Split(';')[5]

Output:

KHS=1407.00 (total hash rate)

or

Code: (threads.ps1)

$Client = [Net.Sockets.TcpClient]::new("127.0.0.1", 4068)
$Writer = [IO.StreamWriter]::new($Client.GetStream())
$Reader = [IO.StreamReader]::new($Client.GetStream())

$Writer.Write("threads")
$Writer.Flush()
$Data = $Reader.ReadLine().Split('|')

Foreach ($i in $Data) {
  $j = $i.Split(';')
  Write-Host $j[0] $j[11]
}

Output:

GPU=0 KHS=470.00
GPU=1 KHS=469.00
GPU=2 KHS=468.00

The pool automatically assigns difficulty that corresponds to the hash rate of your miner. You can also set a fixed custom difficulty using the password parameter. For example, if you want to set the difficulty to 64, you would use:

Code:

-o stratum+tcp://<POOL> -u <WALLET_ADDRESS> -p d=64

P.S.
Thanks for your suggestion. But, I can't see any other way of setting the difficulty manually. If you know how to do that, We are always glad to hear any advice

Thank you for answering. Maybe i should have been a bit clearer. I can get the KHS from the API, but every test i done says that KHS don't hold current hashrate, it holds the average hashrate that is presented in the console window.

I think that's a little bug. We'll fix it soon

• Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015

Linux

• Ubuntu 14.04+, Debian 8+ (64-bit versions)
• Package libc-ares2. Installing libc-ares2 package is as easy as running the following command on terminal: apt-get install libc-ares2

Troubleshooting

Antivirus Software Reports
CryptoDredge is not a piece of malicious software. You may try to add an exception in antivirus software you use.

Rejected Shares
There are many reasons for rejected shares. The primary reasons are:

• high network latency
• overloaded mining server
• aggresive graphics card overclocking

Watchdog
If you are using a third-party watchdog, you can disable the built-in watchdog by using --no-watchdog option.
Example:

Code:

CryptoDredge -a <ALGO> -o stratum+tcp://<POOL> -u <WALLET_ADDRESS> --no-watchdog

Lyra2REv2 Issues
In case if you have issues with the current implementation of Lyra2REv2 (lyra2v2), you might want to try lyra2v2-old.
Example:

Code:

CryptoDredge -a lyra2v2-old -o stratum+tcp://<POOL> -u <WALLET_ADDRESS>

Several Instances After a While
It seems that you are using an own restart mechanism of CryptoDredge (see the Watchdog item).

Hello op and thank you for the great miner,

Since I upgraded to 8.0 (from 3.0) I get this error message when I try to mine neoscrypt : out of memory in cdumem::create 45.

I tried to remove overcloking but it didn't help.

I have no problem when mining phi2, lyra2z or lyra2v2.

Any help ?

Thanks for using our miner! Could you try the following?

• Use a video driver that above 390 and below 396 from http://www.nvidia.com/drivers/beta if use CUDA 9.1 version of the miner
  
• Change the riser card

Ty for the quick answer but sadly it didn't help. I tried both cuda 9.1 & 9.2.

You probably don't have enough virtual memory, be sure you have at least as much as your GPU memory (example if you have 6x gpu that have 8gb of ram, set virtual memory to ~50gb) neoscrypt algo need it.


@cryptodrege dev

can we expect soon backup pool feature ? i like the miner it's great, thanks

Cheers.
