Nvidia miner for MTP algo. FREE. OPENSOURCE

[krnlx]

Hi all!

This is improved version of open source miner for zcoin.
Tested and developed under ubuntu 16 , cuda 10, 415.25 driver. Tested on mintpond pool.
Improved speed and moved Merkle tree generation to GPU.

WARNING! READ BEFORE USE!

1. Cards will eat every watt of tdp and they will be hot. Check your PSU
2. This miner have problems with extranonce2 and will run out of nonces on high speed rigs. It will abort() itself if running out of nonces, so launch in loop or launch 1-2 cards per instance
3. This miner will force exit too, if pool is lagging (annoying stratum_gen_work: job not yet retrieved message)
4. Please, ignore this error GPU #2: result for 27713c34 does not validate on CPU! - It means nothing, full result checks not running on GPU, If this message is rare, it is OK.
5. To reduce CPU work and number of messages "result for 27713c34 does not validate on CPU" please use static diff 2^n aka 1024,2048,4096.. on mintpond: -p pass,d=4096,strict
6. In some rare times pool do not send diff, miner will use default(8192), you can change it in util.cpp file



OVERCLOCK

+mem, +cpu, all is working, for 1080, 1080ti Pill is working too.

SYSTEM requirements:

CPU - any, Celeron is OK
RAM - 256M per card
GPU - 5G of vram
For 20x0 cards: edit Makefile.am and change compute to 75

DEVFEE

Devfee is ZERO.
If you want to donate, send coins to my addresses, that shows after miner launch.

MTP algo becomes one of more profitable for GPUs and there is a need for such miners. It is suitable to have a Windows version for the majority of the miners.

[krnlx]

Windows versions compiled by djm34 are here https://github.com/zcoinofficial/ccminer/releases

Windows versions compiled by djm34 are here https://github.com/zcoinofficial/ccminer/releases

You have downloaded on Github ccminer release 1.1.6 again instead of the new version 1.1.7 (https://github.com/zcoinofficial/ccminer/releases). At least in miner window it is shown 1.1.6. Nevertheless its performance is much better than previous 1.1.5 release (small test of your miner on P106-100, GTX1080 and 1070Ti is in Russian article here: https://www.cryptoprofi.info/?p=1475)

the link for 1.1.7 in Github download a file displaying 1.1.6...

There are different releases of miners because they have different sizes. I think that developper didn't change the number of release in compiled version 1.1.7.

Works great with Pascal version.

I downloaded the windows of this miner from zcoin's github, compiled by djm. Could only run 2 cards max, otherwise it error -22 and closes. Does the windows version need more than 256mb ram per card? Or is it just low virtual memory?

My specs:

Pentium G4560
7x 1080ti
4gb ddr4
30gb virtual mem

[rednoW]

krnlx/djm version needs more virtual memory than cryptodredge

[dragonmike]

krnlx/djm version needs more virtual memory than cryptodredge

This ^^

I set virtual mem on my 5x 1080 rig at 64GB to be safe. Also running multiple instances requires even higher swap file size apparently. Just keep increasing until the error disappears.

[mo35]

performance wise its on par with CD 0.15.1 , but biggest plus - krnlx work is rock stable , not a single issue or crash.

p.s. power limit is your friend with this one

thanks for the new version 1.1.10

Can we get hashrate info on 1080ti cards? OC settings? Eth pill works?

Can we get hashrate info on 1080ti cards? OC settings? Eth pill works?

I get around 3400 kH/s  (w10, core i7, single 1080i, latest drivers)
cminer_61 v1.1.10 (krnlx), -i 22, d=1024, mem +0, core +110, power 80%

mem & pill doesn't seem to do much, core has huge impact but miner has more issues with MTP algo when going high...
Cryptodredge is doing a bit more hashrate, but slightly more reject and instable with 1080ti (it's ok for me on 1070)
fix diff of d=1024 is important to reduce rejects...

I get more hashrate running both miners (krnlx & Cryptodredge 1700 + 2600...) in //,  but it will run for 5 to 20 hours only

thanks for the development
