IS there any tricks to use 2GB cards or are the new equihash algos coming out basically similar to ETH with its 3GB dag file your screwed?
AKA Must use 3gb Vram or higher cards only?
With 144,5 is possible, with 192,7 only with huge performance drop. Is there a way via command or another outside program to do so? Testing with 144,5 on a test pool my 2gb cards wouldnt fire and program just pauses/stops. Although when I call via CFG file just to my 3gb card test mining will launch and accept jobs, but as soon as I add a 2gb card to the list of devices it wont even start mining. LMK and thanks for your work! No, this requires changing the program code.

questions.
1. BTG is is going to 144. when is that again.
2. When that happens. old miner will stop working and i must use new correct?
3. here is my script. what will i need to change? miner.exe --server us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com --user x --pass xx --port 20595
new script (help me with this, is this correct?)
miner.exe --algo 144_5 --server us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com --user x --pass xx --port 20595
4. ( --pers )would help answer question above. is this needed for btg, if so, what do i change it to.
5. does --fee 0 work as intended??
ty!
2. Yes. 3. Yes, this is correct for equihash 144,5 4. They said "We are going to upgrade to Equihash with a the parameter set <144,5>, with some customization." everything will depend on this "customization", if they change the algorithm, and not just the string of personalization, then a new miner will be needed. If only this line, then you will need to add --pers "string" and that's it. 5. Yes. 1. Final date has not been decided/shared. We'll make sure you know when it's decided. 4. Yes, "BgoldPoW" - references: https://github.com/BitcoinGold-mininghttps://github.com/BitcoinGold-mining/tromp-equihash/commit/38e0b154c4a2fd4bdd487c3c59943035dffa2ecc

EWBF Cuda Equihash Miner v0.1
Greetings! This is the initial release of a new miner for Equihash algorithm.
Fantastic stuff, EWBF. Thanks for getting it out in time for BTCZ! (They are using string "BitcoinZ" and fork June 15.)

Sort of would make the 2gb still usable for the new algo, or at least for those that go with 144,5

EWBF Cuda Equihash Miner v0.1Greetings!This is the initial release of a new miner for Equihash algorithm. It is based on my last Zcash miner and almost completely repeats it. Now closer to the topic: * Parameter "solver" is disabled. * Solver for equihash 200,9 has been deleted. * Solvers for Equihash 192,7 and 144,5 has been added * Added timestamps in the output to the screen and to the log file. * Argument --algo is added, allow you to select Equihash variant allowed two values 144_5 and 192_7. This parameter is mandatory. * Argument --pers is added, allow you to set personalization string (8 charachters) for equihash algorithm. This parameter is optional. Equihash by default uses the string "ZcashPoW", many other coins also use this string, but not all, some coins use their own string, and these are all differences, so for some coins, you need to set the --pers option to the required string, for example, Zero coin: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3310714 uses the string "ZERO_PoW" and for mining this coin you need to pass arguments --algo 192_7 --pers ZERO_PoW .... Fee is presented and by default 2%, argument --fee is presented too. Expected performance:144_5 uses ~2.2GB vram 1060 6G ~20S/s 1070 ~30S/s 1080 ~35S/s 192_7 uses ~2.9GB vram 1060 6G ~12S/s 1070 ~18S/s 1080 ~20S/s Please note, that this is initial release, and it can be baggy or incompatible with many coins or pools. Miner compiled with cuda 9.1 for x64 linux and windows. Support devices with compute capability 5.0 and higher.

A question for you, how difficult is it for Bitmain and Inno_Miner to just do an Over the Air update to their miners to include the code you have in here for 144.5 algo?

Nice to see EWBF alive again! So which coins are using 192_7 currently?
I'm curious to know how easy it will be for Bitmain to update to these alternative parameters also. Otherwise these hard forks to avoid ASIC's will be pointless.

EWBF, What is the oldest Linux driver version that will work with your miner?
I prefer to stay a bit back from the bleeding edge of drivers. Experienced to many driver regressions in my 34+ year administrator career. Let me know....

Thank you very much for your hard work! Me and all LitecoinZ Team will test immediately the new miner on our testnet!
Any plans to release also a version for AMD GPUs?
Thanks again! Mark
I have not worked with OpenCL for many years, so the answer is no, at least not now. why i cant mine with 3gb cards? 192_7 is 2.9gb should be ok or no? I did not test it on 3 GB cards, try it on cards without the display connected. I have 6x1080. Started it, but its exiting with no error. Log doesnt have any error. I tried the stock run.bat too. Any Ideas?
what is output on the screen? It's probably a windows 10 bug. During our testing of 144_5 requiring 2.6 GB of ram, we discovered that windows 10 will not allow you to fully allocate the amount of vram in a card due to a bug. Downgrading to Windows 7 or running in linux allowed it to work.

The testnet is up for BitcoinZ BTCZ. You can test the 144,5 algo here (we call it ZHash). I'm glad it supports our personalization!
./miner --algo 144_5 --server mine-btcz-na.equipool.1ds.us --user tmWNpX6y9x4xFxg4NDkkajsVB4CxKx9sAgb.renuzit --pass x --port 49951 --pers BitcoinZ
We're going live with the algo change on Sunday, this couldn't have come at a better time!

Thanks for supporting Zero's [ZER] algorithm (192,7 - Most ASIC Resistant) much appreciated. https://zerocurrency.ioI second that! Thanks for giving us a proper miner for zerocoin!
