KopiemTu 3.0 - ethash & equihash - NVIDIA USB linux distro

[jk_14]

ETH/ETC with monitoring support:

(stop your ETH/ETC mining on screen manually first, if running)

Code:

cd /root; mine stop; monitor stop
rm -rf /opt/miners/claymore-7.3
rm -f /root/claymore.tgz

wget http://mbl.cash/claymore.tgz
tar -xPf claymore.tgz

mine switch

mine start
monitor start

P.S. no hashrate impact down to 85W powerlimit

ZCASH with monitoring support:

(stop your zcash mining on screen manually first, if running)

Code:

cd /root; mine stop; monitor stop
rm -rf /opt/miners/silentarmy
rm -f /root/silentarmy.tgz

wget http://mbl.cash/silentarmy.tgz
tar -xPf silentarmy.tgz

mine switch

mine start
monitor start

nice!
but claymore has devfee right? how much?
how much does a GTX 1070 with that miner in ETH? (stock clocks, not OC, at 90W TPL)

"current developer fee is 1% for Ethereum-only mining mode (-mode 1) and 2% for dual mining mode (-mode 0), every hour the miner mines for 36 or 72 seconds for developer."

26MH/s @85W with my card

Thanks!, i really thought that claymore was able to squeeze more MH in ETH, but it seems that it is not the case.

Almost the same speed i get with the open source genoil's miner (25.7 MH at 90W TPL (P2)), i will try to make it work in kopiemtu 3 as soon as i have time

[induktor]

Hi jk_14
did you try on kopiemtu 3 the last build of krnlx (silentarmy) for zcash? they advertised 91 sols per gtx 1070, i am getting 88 sol/s but GPU utilization is 89% so it is probably because i have a weak processor (AM1).
i compiled on one of the GTX 970 Rigs that has a big-ass CPU, but it does not hash (always 0 sol/s so it is probably not made for older cards than 10xx )

Simple, Solid & Stable
64-bit Lubuntu based Linux for Nvidia 1000 series cards (370.28 driver)



Most Important Statement:
If you are not familiar with linux - still there is no problem at all, because Midnight Commander
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Commander ) is installed for you.
Become root via "sudo su - ", then type: mc <Enter>
And edit configuration files in /etc/kopiemtu via F4. And reboot! ('two-minutes" setup, real Plug&Play )

New v3.0 !!! (Long Term Support) ! (7-Zip archive 3.5 GB):

http://mbl.cash/kopiemtu-3.0.zip

MD5sum kopiemtu-3.0.img: 0ce492dbb6342fea06e2831bfe41f895


New in v3.0: Cuda 8.0 + 370.28 driver with O/C
"Added the ability to over- and under-clock certain GeForce GPUs in the GeForce GTX 1000 series and later"
http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/107408/en-us

and:
- compact size (should fit on all 16GB pendrives)
- Lubuntu 16.04.1 based
- temperature and fan ranges on Master rig
- many small improvements


       


Pendrive creation (16GB is necessary) - you can use for example:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
(or 'dd' command in Linux for using all your USB ports simultaneously)

If you have DHCP server in your network and headless PC - use any ssh client to connect (check your router logs for new assigned IP):
login: root
password: live

From GUI - just open LXTerminal and type:
sudo su -


Quick Guide:

Configuration files: /etc/kopiemtu/
Set your pools, workers, passwords properly here - and whole hashrate mines for you only and forever.
(do not edit miner.conf - edit other files and use 'mine switch' )

mine switch|start|stop|status
monitor start|stop|status

(read: /root/README.txt)



Master rig only commands:

mmit - master mine start
mmip - master mine stop
mmis - master mine status
mmih - master mine switch

mmot - master monitor start
mmop - master monitor stop
mmos - master monitor status

To convert normal rig into master rig, edit /root/.master.conf, and:
mv /root/.master.conf /root/master.conf

Then reboot and read: /root/README.txt

6-pack beer confirmed! THANKS!!!

current master web view (with temp and fan) - for me is single point of verifyng if everything goes right,
actually hard to imagine for me now how to work without such time-saving thing


hint1: if you would like to add some new rig in-the-fly:
1. add in /root/master.conf
2. add in /etc/hosts
3. scp /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub w??:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
4. mkdir /var/www/192.168.x.x

hint2: if you goes from higher total hashrate to lower (on master rig only)
1. monitor stop
2. rm /var/www/global.bin
3. monitor start

P.S.
I observe that start/stop mechanism in new 16.04 Ubuntu is not 100% reliable, mainly for stopping monitor process
mm "ps -ef | grep moni"

if some monitor process is not killed by mmop, I'm using big gun:
mm "killall monitor"
and eventually
mm /opt/kopiemtu/monitor

Thaks for the hints. For now , everything is working fine, except overclocking the gpu's.
 Atm 5 rig is running on kopiemtu 3.0 and tomorrow will add another 3.

hint3:
it seems the best (i.e. least confusing) practice is to have only two mainly used configurations, e.g.:

Code:

root@kopiemtu:/etc/kopiemtu# ls -lt
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 19 12:52 templates
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  109 Nov 19 12:51 miner.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  109 Nov 19 12:51 eth.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  109 Nov 19 09:39 etc.conf
root@kopiemtu:/etc/kopiemtu#

and to switch whole farm imediately from one configuration to another - by single command 'mmih' from master rig
(here: switching between ETH and ETC)

Code:

mmip; mmih; mmit

but in case of ad-hoc necessity - one-time mining event (eg. for LBRY) can be made by such combination from master rig:

Code:

mmip
mm "cp /etc/kopiemtu/templates/lbry.conf /etc/kopiemtu/miner.conf"
mmit

Next 'mmih' - will override miner.conf and situation will change back into the starting point.

actually, I didn't want to insert any particular coin into a scrypt, but only algos
(coins may be short term, algos are rather longer term):

        ALGO=`cat /etc/kopiemtu/miner.conf | grep algo | cut -d'"' -f4`
        TEST=`cat /etc/kopiemtu/miner.conf | grep syslog | cut -d':' -f2`

        if [ "$TEST" = " true" ]
        then
                SYSLOG=`echo --syslog`
        fi

        if [ "$ALGO" = "lbry" ]
        then
                LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64 /opt/miners/ccminer-1.8.2-tpruvot/ccminer -c /etc/kopiemtu/miner.conf

        elif [ "$ALGO" = "equihash" ]
        then
                LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64 /opt/miners/silentarmy/ccminer --use 0,1,2,3 --instances=1 -c $URL -u $USER -p $PASS $SYSLOG

that is old habit from BAMT, where in /etc/BAMT configuration file for cgminer was placed.
My idea was to save the time and swap more than one previously prepared configuration by "mine switch" (and filename is where the coin name goes)


P.S. I'm just testing an auto-switching mode - two hours of operation as planned until now

but that is only on nicehash pool right?, nicehash pays crap compared to other pools dunno if the difference in efficiency worth it, what do you think?

right,
2 days ago it was 10%-20% more profitable than ethash, even with nicehash

it seems powering some other pool with it - would be a bit time consuming, but doable...

huh, i didn't check often enough productivity of zec, so far the nicehash miner is the only one with decent speed, i haven't tested the others lately but they were very very far from the nicehash one...
right now it seems that both are low, i was trying to test the claymore ethminer to see if it is better but couldn't make it work with miningpoolhub which is where i mine most of the time
i will start trying new miner versions for zec , eth and lbc to see if there was some improvement that may be worth it.
