Zilminer - mine POW coin in dual mine mode with almost no power use!!!!!

[keksik]

hello, im mining for fun aeternity and want to mine ziliqa too on windows 10 pc (gtx1080). please can you advise how to dual mine? i understand only 30s mining per 3h is enough, but my questions are:

1. is this bat file sufficient?
zilminer.exe -P zil://0x43305C223CFeEe67b8B46944bee7bc0EDFa86a38.gtx1080@rudnik.hopto.org:5000/api -U

2. is ok to mine aeternity and leave mining ziliqa turned on? does it starts mining when the times come? does it impact hash rate when aeternity is being mined?

3. is ok when i turn on mining and it shows 0 hash rate (it shows on webpage: Next PoW Time   28 mins later, so am i correct there is no hash due to no work being send yet? )

thank you for answers

You can mine at same time both, POW will start when it time... or you can set up start/stop for aeterniti you have pack at the pool link, and need just to edit miner name and addresses in the bat files provided

if primary aeternity miner is not stoped you will lose some 30-40% hash in zilliqa
also don`t forget to add --farm-recheck 15000 to zilliqa miner

You have
--pow-end-timeout 100

which start primary miner after 100sec timeout
also i think there are other commands for it but did not test

thanks this what i looking for.

but pow is only 30secs ?!

so what should it really be set to:

--pow-end-timeout 30  ?

I have mine set on 20 seconds... feels effective... tested several numbers

hello, i have question.

 i 10:37:19 zilminer Job: a22381ed... rudnik.hopto.org [45.79.93.5:5000]
cu 10:37:19 cuda-0   Job: a22381ed... Sol: 0xa5d66693268ff406
 X 10:37:19 zilminer GPU 0 gave incorrect result. Lower overclocking values if it happens frequently.

-does it means i god incorrect share?

really thank you

[reb0rn21]

Yes that`s what miner say, maybe too match OC or miner issue

[keksik]

thx, it happens, anyway i was able to get share,so im satisfied.

P.S. i have tried your windows bat files setup to start end and seems it is working as during PoW period i had 2times more hash (10mh with dual mine VS. 22mh during start stop period)!
1x MSI gtx 1080 here
now i have setup two of my AMD 12xRX580 and 9xRX570 rig, so will see in 15minutes, if all ok.

PPS. i have 1 merit, wanted to give you for your quick advices, however got error
You do not have enough sendable merit.

so only i can give is my thanks

EDIT: all good, it worked without any issues. may i ask how long it takes to see payments in my wallet since accepted share?

When zilliqa devs enable transactions after bootstrap mode atm 30 march is the plan

[RuMiner]

tried zilminer on Vega64 with latest drivers and W10 LTSC - system hangs up after "dag generated" message even if no other miner is running. Claymore's dualminer works stable on this PC. what am I doing wrong?

[reb0rn21]

Some driver on some AMD card are no good, some are happy with blockchain driver from august and some use newer

zil miner is a fork of ethminer so same issue/solutions

if anyone have issue that miner stop to receive new work pls add command at zilminer:
--work-timeout 10800

[Grim]

yes 19.x amd driver not working

a shame for radeon VII owners 

[RuMiner]

really, works well on rigs with blockchain drivers. although I got 0 shares during last pow session

upd waited for next pow time. it was 1.40 instead of 2.5-3 hours and main miner was offline for almost 7 minutes instead of 30 seconds. Soooo it's about 93% downtime instead of 99.95%.
am I doing something wrong again or promises are a little bit embellished?
also still 0 shares accepted after second pow time )

[sxemini]

Tweaking your start.bat with command --pow-end-timeout 30. I am at 96 - 96,5% mining time at main coin.

How much hashrate?

[RuMiner]

sxemini testing on 8 card-rig, about 220 mhs. how can 30 seconds help if it cannot manage to find a share during 5+ minutes?

[sxemini]

After the last getwork it needs around 2 - 3 min to start the primary miner, this 30 seconds reduce this time. You say your mining time is around 93% and 7minutes every pow, so this is the answer to reduce the 7minutes. 
An it is normal that you not find a share every POW. Sometimes i find only 1 share after 3 - 4 POW.
It is a new mining concept so give it a bit time.

What is your address? Is the miner hashing in POW? Some of my cards cannot mine with zilminer, because it cannot handle the OC settings, but on claymore or phönixminer it is stable for over 1 year.

[RuMiner]

no, it kills Claymore with bat file.

[sxemini]

What? What kills claymore? I don´t understand this answer sorry.

Look in the miner window when it starts POW. You see it will hash for 2 - 3 minutes and then, nothing for 3 minutes, no getwork. So this 3 minutes are lost time, with the pow end command it will reduce the time after the last getwork.

Your hashing power is 132mh on pool side, so it is total that no share found after this short time. Zilminer has not the same hash power like claymore or phönixminer.

[sprstoner]

if anyone have issue that miner stop to receive new work pls add command at zilminer:
--work-timeout 10800

hello,


Some drivers crash, i assume during swapping of miners, once the drivers crashes, the new POW after does start but gets 0 hash for all cards, even though it appears only one card was affected by the driver crash. then this rig will not add any hash during POW  until fixed.... one of my rigs seems to need a restart, one seems just restarting the miners fixes it.

would this "--work-timeout 10800"  address this problem or a different problem

[RuMiner]

What? What kills claymore? I don´t understand this answer sorry.

I used keys --pow-start stop.bat --pow-end start.bat
stop.bat taskkills claymore before hashing zil, start.bat restarts it again after pow time finished

You have my miner pack just edit bat, it works out of box with bminer

"it works out of box with bminer" i didnt understand what you mean ?

please if you can describe little more ?

i had tried as ur miner pack, just edited wallet address which i registered on the mentioned pool.
but no luck always gets 0 share , just shows hashrate on pool nothing else.

br,

pls read about zilliqa mining, network diff is 30-70ghs, POW is 8 times a day with usual rig of 180Mhs you  would make 3-5 shares per day, depending on luck
