1050 - 2GB ram not run?? help

Not yet with 144.5 (perhaps later with Ubuntu).
The increase of memory usage is for the asic resistant dimension.

I think that it is not possible to mine 114_5 with 2gb, because algorithm requires min 2.5 gb per card. https://bitcoingold.org/equihash-btg/

Anyone mining BTCP with it.
I tried changing algo's but always end up with rejected shares

[Trololino]

Hey,

Can anything be done about it being so memory intensive. My PC pretty much freezes with this miner, and i cant browse the internet or do anything else while its mining (it was possible before parameters change). I tried changing --intensity but it did nothing.

Thanks

I got lots of Rejected shares with my GTX1080, my setup below code:

Code:

miner  --algo 192_7 okane999.btcz --pers ZERO_PoW --server btcz.suprnova.cc --port 6586 --user okane999.btcz --pass x

I don't know how to fix it, I used with CUDA 8.

Can you help me guys to solve the problem?



Best regards

you use wrong algo? btcz is 144,5 and not 192,7

[okane818]

I found the solution, I read it the articles carefully. So this is the code below with my GTX1080.

Code:

miner  --algo 144_5 --pers BitcoinZ --server btcz.suprnova.cc --port 6586 --user okane999.btcz --pass x
pause

I got 30+ Sols/S but too much lag. Thanks for the reply.

1050 - 2GB ram not run?? help

These are ASIC hardened modifications of equihash algo requiring more GPU RAM. Minimum required memory for 144_5 is 2.2 GB, for other variants even more is required, so ...

These are ASIC hardened modifications of equihash algo ...

For the love of crypto, please stop spreading such silly misinformation...

Yes, I oversimplified, but changing N and K parameters of equihash algo increased RAM requirements with intention to prevent current gen of ASIC's. Right?

Close, the decisions were based on the speculative myth that the RAM shortage (which is long over) would prevent the ASIC manufactures from competing with the GPU manufactures. These decisions were made by people that have no clue how much RAM the current ASICs even have, much less how much they are capable of having (or at what cost the upgrades would come).

It's all a bunch of garbage that preys on the notion that us GPU owners will ignore the reality that ASICs are better than GPUs in almost every way and that we'll be emotionally linked to our investments and want to "protect them from the evil Bitmain" (who is actually only 1 of 4 ASIC manufacturers).

I had the same Rejected shares  problem, and the solution was to add the parameter '--pers BitcoinZ'.

I saw you figured it out in the meantime, but I think remembering it might help someone.

How many new doorstops did you purchase ComputerGenie? 

If ASICs are the best solution, can you explain to us why ASIC resistant POW algorithms were created?

Thanks EWBF!  I have been mining bitcoinz on a mix of 1060 6gb, 1070ti, 1080ti for 2 days on Win10X64 with no problems.

• 0 doorstops, many ASICs (but less ASICs than GPUs)
• as per "why", read my sig line

Does this miner support 1060 3GB with 192.7 algo? Under windows I get this error:

Code:

GeForce GTX 1060 3GB, not enough memory, Available: 2605 MB, Required: 2979 MB

It's a problem with windows 10 and its way of allocation of GPU RAM, even for cards which are not being used for display. Problem is known for long time to all renderers (now also to miners) and looks like Microsoft isn't giving a sh*t to solve it. So much of production use of Windows 10 Under Windows 7 each 1060 3GB gives 12 sol/s for 192.7 algo.

Sums up everything about that forever-beta OS.

Try ZhashOS. It uses EWBF without all the hours of grief Windows causes. Leave your windows intact and use ZhashOS when you want to mine.

can somebody see where I'm going wrong??

That's true to a certain extent, but the other side of the coin is promoting decentralization which is easier to do with GPU's that the "common man" still can barely afford compared to FCFS ASIC's that only "rich capitalist farmers" can buy.

No one should be under the illusion that the parameter change for higher memory requirements will equate to ASIC prevention.  Resistance is not prevention.  Only delay.  The French Resistance certainly did not defeat the Nazi's.
