The machine restarts at five to ten minutes intervals.
it continues to randomaly crash.

gtx1060 running on the same version also no problem.

as I asked you on github:
what pool are you using ?
(can you try another pool and see if you have the same problem, pool with high ping are more likely to get these sort of problem... assuming it is a problem related to connection)

there shouldn't be any difference between 1070ti and 1060, the problem is probably more with your rig. From my experience, 1070ti may require somewhat better cpu to be more stable
on linux. try to check if nvidia-smi works correctly, if it is hanging, then it can be the problem with cpu

for those who were asking for sgminer:
(no fee... too painfull to implement in sgminer  )

https://github.com/zcoinofficial/sgminer/releases/tag/0.1.2

Improved hashrate on both mtp.cl and mtp_vega.cl

mtp.cl for RX5xx and RX4xx

1.69MH @1250MH/z on RX580
do not use this kernel for vega performance are ridiculous

mtp_vega.cl
1.685MH @1250MHz on RX580
3.1MH/s @1350MHz on Vega 56
currently this is on my RX580  around 400kh/s faster than teamred and it run at a lower frequency (100MHz lower for some reason...)
and 70kh/s slower than teamred on vega (same frequency)
use sgminer.conf to pass kernels/pool etc...

do you have support for nicehash yet?... teamred supports nicehash

sorry no support for nicehash.
This is zcoin official miner and nicehash is not considered as crypto friendly (price dumping, I think anyone who was around, when nicehash got hacked, saw price of crypto and mining profitability increased... just saying ), hence the miner doesn't support nicehash.
Furthemore, if you do your own calculation, you should realize that mining zcoin and selling it yourself will be more profitable to you too.
Also the upcoming new platform of nicehash is not supporting mtp either...

may-be try the new version. However if it is a launch time out, it is probably more related to memory or some bad communication with the gpu or gpu somehow hanging.
60% tdp seems a little low...

on what system are you ?

I mine eight different pools.  nicehash is the most profitable of the pools i mine for  mtp.  I mine the most profitable algo.  In order for me to mine mtp as you suggest, then mtp has to be more profitable on all coins on all exchanges all the time...  which isn't the case.

granted you don't like nicehash, but you are removing the choice the user can make.   I'll stick with the other miners that do support a choice of other pools such as nicehash.

and i was part of the hacked nicehash also... they are paying back. also thier fees are put into my calculations, and it's still more profitable for me.

but i understand.  You won't support nicehash.  I won't bring it up again and i won't comment in your thread anymore.

your choice...  and sgminer doesn't have a dev fee, so...  up to you to chose to pay all the fee along the line you chose or mostly none
regarding nicehash, it can't be profitable to miner, since people who buy coins through nicehash, do it that way to get their coin below the price they would get on an exchange.
Which basically cause the value of the coins to go down on exchange.
So really you can't say it is more profitable on nicehash, because in the way it works it isn't true.
And selling yourself your coin on an exchange allows you to sell when it is more profitable for you to sell.

I'm not so negative about Nicehash, they provide an open market with willing participants on both sides
with them, as brokers, in the midle taking a cut. The effects on the overall crypto market are due to the actions of
their users more than their presence. However, they do tend to act like the elephant in the room at times by
making their own rules. That attitude never seemed to hurt Microsoft despite the anti-Microsoft cults.

The main market effect of Nicehash is the same as any auto-exchange pool. It tends to hurt altoins due
to persistent dumping for BTC. But it creates opportunities at the other end where altcoin specuators can
pick them up more cheaply when the pools dump them.

But I digress.

What is this Nicehash support issue? Did they do something stupid that requires specific miner support?

they require some modifications in stratum (in xtranonce I think)

[djm34]

new release  https://github.com/zcoinofficial/ccminer/releases/tag/1.1.26

* rearrange how the cards are assigned to threads. this should correct the issue described here in issue #4
the previous release (not announced here) were correcting:
* correct more crash issues...
These crash were occurring when the pool stop sending data or is unable to send data.

When this happen, the stratum thread is restarted.
In case of vardiff, the last difficulty is used when the thread is restarted.

[djm34]

new ccminer release: https://github.com/zcoinofficial/ccminer/releases/tag/1.2.0

* better handling of eventual packet losses when the connection to the pool is less than optimal
=> no more pool disconnect

[djm34]

new sgminer release:  https://github.com/zcoinofficial/sgminer/releases/tag/0.1.3

improved connection between pool and miner in case of high latency connection

win 7 for nvidia is very slow not win 10 how come ?

[djm34]

current cuda version are developped around win10, also it is 64bit code which has always been slower (for some reason) on win 7
