Guys, anyone using nicehash? been on wtm switching for too long, wanted to switch to nicehash but mining doesn't start!

[Oleg_filin]

Hello.

I can't run mining zcoin (xzc). Cryptodredge (0.18.0) and T-Rex (0.14.6) don't run. Can you help me?

Hello.

Can you elaborate on the problem that you are facing with it?
Which GPUs are you using to mine XZC?
GPUs need at least 5GB VRAM to mine XZC with MTP algorithm.

Gpu 1080 and 1080ti the miner at startup writes that the algorithm is not defined, maybe you need to specify some algorithm parameter in addition?

ZXC is not included in the default template, you need to add as usual. Look at previous page about BEAM, it's the same with every coin. Everything is documented in the help text in 1bash, you have examples and explanations for each section you need to touch when adding new coins, algos or miners.

In the 1bash file I already had the mtp algorithm added, the xzc coin is indicated as the mtp algorithm coin - xzc, the miner for the mtp algorithm is cryptodredge. 
However, mining does not start. 

For mining beam coin, I added BEAM_OPTS="--ssl 1"
And  - -algo beamhash


what needs to be added for mining xzc?

[LuKePicci]

If MTP is there already you only need to define  coin settings, eg address, pool and so on.

Please post the details you currently have for MTP and the pool you want to mine it with, I'll try my best to get it sorted.

You need to connect through primary gpu, not integrated one. Reinstall from scratch with integrated graphics disabled (check BIOS settings).

Hello everyone
Is the project still active?
I didn't see a lot of activity recently
Cheers

Almost everything is working, so not very much to change. Miners get updated when needed but people can easily get new miners running by themselves so no frequent changes to code are needed. There is some little work done in 3.3-dev but nothing big. You (all) are free to push some contributions if you have some good ones in your mind.

nvOC is working very good and mining what ever you need 24/7 no issues.

Hi,
Is AION still supported on the new version?  I upgraded to 3.2 and I'm getting LAUNCHING: (coin: AION, algo: UNDEFINED)
I added the lines below on 1bash.

COIN="AION" 
EQUIHASH_COINS="AION,.....
EQUIHASH_MINER="EWBF"
 
# AION
AION_ADDRESS="xxxxxxx"
AION_EXTENSION_ARGUMENTS=""
AION_POOL="cluster.aionpool.tech"
AION_PORT="2222"
AION_WORKER="011"
AION_POOL_PROTOCOL="stratum+tcp"

How can I upgrade nvidia drivers.
gtx 1660 does not recognize super graphics cards.

How can I upgrade nvidia drivers.
gtx 1660 does not recognize super graphics cards.

Stop nvOC mining:

Code:

bash ~/NVOC/mining/nvOC stop

Make sure nvidia repo is enabled in ubuntu software sources.
Install latest from ubuntu software & updates, Additional Drivers section or:

Code:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

reboot.

@PAPAMPI:  IS IT POSSIBLE TO UPGRADE FROM 16.04 TO 18.04?  HOW? --

I have two rigs runnning on the last (...v3.2) release with Ubuntu 16.04.  They are very stable, and I have been able to upgrade the miners that I use and tweak 1bash in minor ways.

I'd like to do a system upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04 without destroying a stable system.  How should I proceed?

Many thanks in advance...       --scryptr

If I remember correctly some older miners needed libcurl3 which is changed to lubcurl4 in Ubuntu 18.04
Other than that there should be no problem.

UPGRADE STEPS FOR UBUNTU 16.04--

After a quick web search, I pulled up the following steps:

Steps to upgrade Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04

    1) Login to Ubuntu box.
    2) Patch current system by running sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade.
    3) After reboot make sure either UFW firewall is temporarily disabled or TCP port 1022 is open.
    4) To upgrade Ubuntu 18.04 LTS from 16.04 LTS run sudo do-release-upgrade.

I'll try this and report my results.       --scryptr

Quick answer: upon updating, upgrading, and rebooting, I issued "sudo do-release-upgrade".  The message in return was "no upgrade found". 

What do you suggest?  Is there a setting that I need to change?       --scryptr

Updates are usually disabled in nvOC,
So you need to open up "Software & Updates"
Check mark the updates in "Ubuntu Software" section and also in "Updates" section check mark them all
Also in "Updates" section , the last part is "Notify me of a new Ubuntu version" select "For long term support version"
When you click close it will reload and should notify of new release
