GMiner v3.40 IronFish/Radiant/Ergo+IronFish+ZIL/KAWPOW/Equihash/Cortex

[SkyWalker123]

My mining rig uses AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Desktop Processor and the memory size is 8G. I was running 3 AMD 6600XT cards without any problems. Today I tried to add 3 more 6600XT, I got the errors:

21:35:28 GPU0: Generating DAG for epoch #447 [Single Buffer 4600 MB]
21:35:28 Error on GPU0: Failed to allocate memory buffer
21:35:28 Stopped Mining on GPU0
21:35:28 Miner terminated, watchdog will restart process after 10 seconds

I did some tests and found out that my rig can only run 3 cards, even if I add 1 more, it failed and got the errors.

Does anyone know the "Failed to allocate memory buffer" is because I only have 8G system memory? Or any other meaning?

Thanks

Fixed the problems. I tried PhoemixMiner and it gave more details about the errors. I increased the Window Page Size to Min 20G and Max 30G, the problems solved. Now I can run 6 GPUs without any issues.

i have this error

https://i.ibb.co/jTydFJK/Cattura.jpg

Try this:

miner.exe --algo ethash --server eu1.ethermine.org:4444 --user 0x9372ea857bf0902c631bbc2ca956ccadf752c986 --worker rig

Why the pause? Try just this from command line:

miner.exe --algo ethash --server eu1.ethermine.org:4444 --user 0x9372ea857bf0902c631bbc2ca956ccadf752c986.rig

I rune the same line in Debian linux:
./miner --algo ethash --server eu1.ethermine.org:5555 --user MyWallet.rig
or as I prefer to use a config file
./miner --config ethermine.conf

In windows running bat file, the running window will be closed if the program (here is miner) ends. Use Pause can keep the window open so you can see the error messages.

Ah ok,
Anycase the issue is to find out why gminer is stopping/crashing. The best way to this is from a command prompt is my take on it.
 

[SkyWalker123]

If I have 2 GPUs, I can create 1 bat file using 2 GPUs, this file name is: file2Gpu.bat. Or I can create 2 bat files with 1 GPU in each bat file, the file names are: file1stGpu.bat and file2ndGpu.bat.

If I run file1stGpu.bat and file2ndGpu.bat at the same time, do they mine more than running the file: file2Gpu.bat?

 

[einrasten]

Use this miner for a couple of weeks. Just wonder why this miner creates an unnecessary hidden folder in another drive. I use multiple miners since 2017, but this miner really feeling uncertain about something.

miner.exe --algo ethash -- server us2.ethermine.org:4444 --user xxxxx --logfile log.txt  --cuda 0
is all you should need from the command prompt as gminer will automatically will try to set the best settings for each gpu.

If that works put it in a .bat file make sure the amd drivers are in compute mode.

In anycase even if you run 2 batch files total hashrates should be the same running 1 or 2 batch files I would think. Haven't tested it.
I run a mixed rig GTX1070 and RX6600XT under ubuntu and another rig with RX580 8GB and R9 380 8GB and have config files for both rigs.

On Windows you have more control over mem voltagefans and so on, regretably gminer has fewer option for control on Linux.

Can you provide more details and proof of gminer doing this? Otherwise this is an unbased smear attempt.

Hello, discord link in first post is broken, is it possible to have a new link plz?
Thanks a lot

[SkyWalker123]

Do they remove the "GPU Workload" option from the newest AMD Radeon Software? I didn't see the option. I downloaded the software two weeks ago.

[jmes]

Why don't you update your readme file with all the LHR settings?

[parple]

Why don't you update your readme file with all the LHR settings?

There is a another file (LHR.md) in the trex folder that has the LHR info

I am mining in Windows 10, using AMD Radeon Software to set overclock for my AMD 6600XT GPUs and mining using gminer. Can anyone share your config file to set  overclock instead of using AMD Radeon Software? Thanks

[nirs87]

Hi! I after de last update I keep getting this message "connection error an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host" in Gminer. I have two rigs and I was getting the message in both rigs but randomly at different times and days.
I changed one of the rigs to another miner to try and now I get the message only in the rig using gminer so it's not a connection issue.
Both rigs are using windows 10.

Is there anything I can do to prevent this error? I want to keep using gminer!
Thnks in advance

This is what I would use on Windows 10 (I have drvers updates disabled)

run "miner --config sample_config.txt"

This gives you an idea anycase.

Hi! I after de last update I keep getting this message "connection error an existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host" in Gminer. ...

I see this error regularly too! 3-5 times a day.

Hi!
My config is pretty simple:

--algo ethash --ssl 1 --server (POOL:FLEXPOOL-BR-SSL2)⁣ --port (AUTO)⁣⁣ --user (WALLET)⁣⁣.(WORKER)⁣⁣
--ssl 1 --server (POOL:FLEXPOOL-USE-SSL2)⁣ --port (AUTO) --user (WALLET).(WORKER)​

Now I have another problem, the main server was down, and it kept trying to connect to it, never switched to the backup server!
I'm in flexpool's telegram channel and others had the same issue with gminer.


This is what the console printed:
