EWBF's Cuda Equihash Miner 0.6

[CarlOrff]

no point
even the best 1080 ti card has break even of one year currently

There may not be much sense in buying new hardware now, but there's plenty of reason to keep mining with hardware that you have already bought and has paid for itself.

That is only if the electricity price is low.

Precision :

...there's plenty of reason to keep mining with hardware that you have already bought and has paid for itself
AND
That is only if the electricity price is low.

Is there a significant difference with the unakoshi-miner?

What is it ?

Gents, who else has 12 card rigs on SMOS? I have 1070 and 1070ti rigs with 12x GPUs

last 10th, 11th and 12th card keep crushing (or rather, they do not even start mining), i have even removed overclock and tested with stock, still the same.

The rigs work fine with other miners, like EWBF 0.3.4b or Claymore for eth.

Since effectively out of 36 GPUs 7 - 8 are not working, i have switched back to ETH until this is sorted out.

I'm waitnig for new version too.

Any AMD miner?

Ok, thank you : I will take a look as soon as possible.

[TheUnderTakR]

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!

See https://github.com/BTCGPU/BTCGPU/issues/331

1. Changes
Fork height: 536200 (May happen roughly July 1st, 2018. But the block height is the standard.)
Switch to Equihash-BTG
N,K: 144,5 #315
Personalization string: BgoldPoW #326
Solution size: 100 bytes
Typical memory usage for mining: ~2.5G per thread
Difficulty adjustment: #330
At the fork height, the difficulty will be reduced to 1/100th
Subsequent per-block Difficulty adjustments will be made via the LWMA difficulty adjustment algorithm.

EWBF Cuda Equihash Miner v0.2

Greetings!
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.

v0.2
*  Reduced amount of rejected shares.
*  Performance 144_5 is increased by ~ 5%.
*  Added algorithm zhash it is similar to "--algo 144_5 --pers BitcoinZ." Now you can use "--algo zhash" string.

Expected performance:
144_5 uses ~2.2GB vram
 1050ti   ~12S/s  
 1060    ~20S/s
 1070    ~30S/s
 1080    ~35S/s
 1080ti    ~55S/s

192_7 uses ~2.9GB vram
 1050ti    ~7S/s
 1060    ~12S/s
 1070    ~18S/s
 1080    ~20S/s
 1080ti    ~30S/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 and cuda 8.0 for x64 linux and windows. Support devices with compute capability 5.0 and higher.

mining rig 9x 1070ti and one 1070.

works fine in old ewbf,tried to remove overclock settings same,tried to run 2 instances of ewbf same...

any help would be much appreciated...

how much Virtual Memory you using?  I've heard different numbers but I'm running my virtual memory at GPU ram * # of GPUs.

9744Mb didn't face any issues with the old ewbf tho...

[boo50]

one more fork happen, and it's a good time to start mine Snowgem, because no nicehash, no amd and a lot of miners still sending rejected shares with old equihash stuff.

I want to suggest to the creator of this miner, EWBF that he probably needs to squeeze more out of this miner. I base this assumption on the fact that when I mine with dstm miner I get 20-30 sol/s more per a single card, actually 1060 and 1050 ti tested, and 40-45 sol/s per card in the Gtx 1070/1070 ti at some friends computers.

This is just a friendly advice, which is something that can be done. I suggest this because the more brutal the "fight" between mining software creators the more good for us, the users.

Edit: I see it is already in progress, and I see it is already improved. Well done EBWF.

Several of the miners (and algorithms) that have come out in the past year do require more virtual memory to run without errors.  Generally the minimum you need is about 4GB per GPU, but it can be more then that in some cases.

I think you need 11-12Gb of pagefile. I had the same problem.

[swisstrader]

Some tuning results of 1070 Ti:

PL=120 W
OC=+200/+1200

Nice. How you cooling rigs? Graphics are very close each other.

On the back site are 3 fans, each 3000 rpm, industrial version and a controller inside for speed adjustment,
best cooling effect if you have close case, 4.0 K less temp of GPU

[dfish987]

i tried with one 1060 3gb it works but the shares are not showing on the pool it stays at zero is this beacause it's just too low 19 sols? my 8 card rigs shows up just fine....

What can I say ... it's just a miner without "additional features". This is a common situation where antiviruses detect miners as viruses. I can recommend you download the miner only from the first post of this topic.

Yes, this is virtual memory, try to increase the paging file to 30 - 50 Gb
