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

How can it be waste of effort? only if you think zilliqa will be worthless or pool will not payout after bootstrap period

atm one mining rig mine ~5-6 shares per day at current price its ~0.7$, as you lose almost nothing from mining primary coins, zilliqa mining is almost free on top on your coin

it feels risky for how long we have to mine to be sure we will be paid.... however, i feel the risk/reward ratio makes it worthwhile. my opinion.

As transactions are still disabled, as miners are lazy to set up miners, as investment in pool are huge, diff is still pretty low

True, but I invested a lot more
server + 160 dual core VPS for nodes and a lots of time tweaking it so node receive some rewards per accepted share (no node do not get reward per each share as shard are very limited in space and atm devs nodes are keeping ~70% of network)

My interest is for this to work...

Well duno, there is a reason as no one used sharding so far, also their node do not receive rewards but do limit community nodes out, their plan is in steps shut down guard nodes and let more community nodes in as network progress and grow

Also I am here for profit same as miners, time will tell at lest you don`t burn a lot power in this, from tech point side i think no one can say till we don`t see stability of network, sharded network for sure will offer a lot more space for transactions but will it be safe enough i don`t know

hello recently i had few issues, using zil miner + ethminer 0.18rc0 mining zil+eth on 4/8gb card.

- hash hasnt been reported on ETH pool
- when zil pow started it stoped eth ethminer and started mining, but has was 0 for all cards.
- what is --pow-earlier good for?

my bat files was
"zilminer.exe --pow-start stop.bat --pow-end start.bat --pow-end-at-startup -P zil://wallet.worker@rudnik.hopto.org:5000/api -G"
"ethminer.exe -P stratum1+tcp://mywallet@eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999/worker/email -G"

i tweaked bat files liek this as i have few 4GB cards so probably would need clear dag as ETH has 3+gb on widnows?:

"zilminer.exe --pow-start stop.bat --pow-end start.bat --pow-end-at-startup -P zil://wallet.worker@rudnik.hopto.org:5000/api -G --work-timeout 10800 --report-hr=1 --clear-dag --farm-recheck 15000" (addded few parameters, are these ok?)
"ethminer.exe -P stratum://mywallet@eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999/worker/email -G" (removed stratum1+tcp and left only stratum)

btw can u explain what each of these do? --work-timeout 10800 --report-hr=1 --clear-dag --farm-recheck 15000

P.S. i have checked your site and there is "PoW is running" message more than 10mintues already..
also on explorer https://explorer.zilliqa.com/home there is still DS 289 and TX block 28899 for long....any issue?

EDIT: web says PoW is still running after 1+hour and explorer still stuck on 28898 block
EDIT2: seems it is now moving again, block 28890 and i also got some accepted shares and some rejected shares.

blockchain today was stuck at xx99 block, and for start/stop its worst case solution as API is switiching miners

btw can u explain what each of these do? --work-timeout 10800 --report-hr=1 --clear-dag --farm-recheck 15000

work-timeout is triggered to reconect if no work is received in 10800sec
--report-hr=1 report hashrate to proxy
--clear-dag empty GPU memory before main miner is restarted so it has full 4/8/11GB of ram available
--farm-recheck ask for new work each 15sec if no solution is found

I've read this post several times, but I honestly seem confused on how to make this work with Bminer (grin)
Is it possible for someone to write idiot post (step by step) on how to make this work with start/stop for grin, or is this necessary? All my gpu are 6+ gb.
I'm interested in making this work

You have a zip file attacked at first post also on pool which is already have bminer and zilminer configured, you just need to edit address in grin and pool bat files

Thanks for the info. Honestly I don't typically click on external links when dealing with crypto (viruses). Thanks for pointing it out to me, I'll try this later.

you can replace miners exe (or check their md5) with the official ones and use just bat files, they are the same

@reb0rn21 is it reasonable to put --pow-end-timeout 30 in bat file? I mean does it reduce a chance to find a share during one pow session or not?

--farm-recheck 15000
--farm-recheck ask for new work each 15sec if no solution is found

15 or 15000 is correct for 15 seconds?

@RuMiner

--farm-recheck 15000 for 15 seconds

LOL, i answer your question and you ask again?

It not reduce your chance, it reduce only the lost time after your last get work from node.

At the moment i am in with 700mh and i find around 10 - 15 shares a day. Mining time Zilliqa 3,5% and ETH 96,5%. (Checked with Aweseomeminer Mining History Feature, so very accurate time span)

If someone need a description, to mining Zilliqa with Awesomeminer without any errors, then i can make one.

that's definitely not because I'm stupid

my last log for example

Code:

i 10:41:03 zilminer ZIL PoW Window Start
...
i 10:43:03 zilminer **Accepted 219 ms. rudnik.hopto.org [104.248.187.201:5000]

share was found after two minutes from pow session start. 30 sec limit would terminate pow hashing at 10:41:33 with no shares or I am wrong again? )

in "--work-timeout 10800" 10800 stands for 10800 seconds, but in "--farm-recheck 15000" 15000 stands for 15 seconds. that confuses me...

upd one more question. two shares accepted during one pow. thread says it is impossible...

Code:

cl 12:40:05 cl-3     Job: 239bdce6... Sol: 0x8d5a285f53ddad38
 i 12:40:05 zilminer **Accepted 214 ms. rudnik.hopto.org [104.248.187.201:5000]
 i 12:40:06 zilminer Job: cf28a09f... rudnik.hopto.org [104.248.187.201:5000]
cl 12:40:07 cl-3     Job: cf28a09f... Sol: 0xf937bc86f8e4a763
 m 12:40:08 zilminer 0:24 A1 202.97 Mh - cl0 29.12, cl1 28.76, cl2 29.24, cl3 29.30, cl4 29.30, cl5 29.29, cl6 27.97
 i 12:40:08 zilminer **Accepted 229 ms. rudnik.hopto.org [104.248.187.201:5000]

its in ms so use 15000..... when share is found miner ask for next job so it decrease idle work, and some options are in seconds

hello,

Is there any documentation on the pow variables we can use with the miner?

in CMD type zilminer --help then --help-ext xxx

network still sometimes have crazy diff changes from 17 to 68Gh, when shift as that happen, expect more rejects as we have one shard free only, and on high diff we even lose that shard as whole network

Reward per accepted share is increased to 8zil after epoch 301!

When is it expect for payouts to start?
