Bounty for Open-Sourced XMR/Cryptonight GPU Miner Bounties Thread

I think you are referring to the "bfactor" flag which by default is set to 8x40 according to that documentation but that actually no impact on % of GPU utilization.

I tried setting it higher (8x64) and lower (6x32) and it had NO impact on GPU usage %, it would always be consistent at 95-98% usage. To prevent overall lag/delay, I think the maximum GPU usage can't exceed 80%.

It's -l (lower case L). And you really need much lower values if you want to get rid of lag. I don't recall anymore what a 750 TI would use, but maybe try -l 8x20, 8x10, 4x40, 4x30, 4x20 or 4x10, Eventually, you'll hit a number that effectively lowers the GPU usage to the desired levels.

[Turbo2]

Thanks for the suggestion, but I tried even the lowest value (4x10) and it doesn't work properly.

It also lowered my H/s from ~220 straight down to ~60, yet GPU usage funny enough was still at 93-96%;

My final suggestion would be 4x5, 3x5, 2x5, 1x5. These are the smallest units while still matching your SMX count.
Sorry, don't have these GPUs anymore to test anything out here...

[Turbo2]

Thanks anyway myagui, but those numbers don't work for some strange reason....I guess if you enter an impossible combination it just defaults back to 8x40? Because that is exactly what is happening with those numbers (or anything lower than 4x10 for that matter) and I get ~220 H/s again with 99% usage.

[QuintLeo]

they have to match the 5 SMX units for the 750ti

1x5, 2x10, etc.

Otherwise that parameter gets ignored.

[Turbo2]

Unfortunately it is ignoring 1x5 and 2x10 as well, defaulting back to 8x40 (and 99% usage) 

they have to match the 5 SMX units for the 750ti

1x5, 2x10, etc.

Otherwise that parameter gets ignored.

[QuintLeo]

post your command line, something isn't right

[Turbo2]

Hey, it was a very simple "mining.bat" with the following contents;

Code:

ccminer -o stratum+tcp://xmr.crypto-pool.fr:3333 -u myaddress -p x -l 4x10

Anything below 4x10 would cause ccminer to revert back to the default 8x40 value.

post your command line, something isn't right

-l=4x20

or 3x15

etc.

that equal sign matters.

Because monero is hard to mine. A 750 to only gets 250 h/s. A Rx 470 stock gets 550.

[B.z.]

hey guys, i always encountered stratum connection interrupted, and does not receive any yay!!
IM using nvidia gtx 780 and my hashrate is 0.3GH/s for mining monero

[GKar]

I'm having some problems with the windows miner.
Mining on coolpool   and I keep getting stratum connection lost.  
I get 1 hash of 103 h/s before it drops.  
I've set the retry to 3 seconds but it does not seem to be registering my hash on the pool after 2 hrs of running.

any suggestions on how to not get the stratum drops?

Thanks

edit: cmd line
cminer --url=stratum+tcp://xmr.coolpool.io:7777--user=wallet address --pass=x -R 2

I get 1 hash round and then it drops ~20 sec later.

[hooldus]

Hello
Can someone explain me this:

I install Cuda hashes goes up to 40k+ but before that it's all only 60h/s or so... But if I close program it will be starting with 60h/s ... it won't stay on 40k+ is it possible to start ccminer throught cuda to stay higher hashes? Also If it stays on 40 000h/s it won't accept any hashes. https://i.stack.imgur.com/yCPkz.png

hi all ...

anyone seen tsiv around? ...

Hi everyone,

I wanted to start mining BitAsean on this pool: http://128.199.168.3/#getting_started with my 3 Nvidia GPU (2x GTX1050ti, 1x GTX 1060).

As suggested in the getting started I downloaded the last version of ccminer (tsiv).

When i start my .bat I have the following error:

Code:

Appuyez sur une touche pour continuer...

My .bat:

Code:

ccminer -o stratum+tcp://128.199.168.3:3333 -u MyBitAseanAdress -p x
pause

Does somebody know how to fix it ? It's is possible to mine BAS with my GPU ?

Thanks in advance for your help  Smiley

Does anyone know how to correct this error Gtx 1060  

[nemesis88]

Hi guys!

I downloaded the .bat from Minergate, put it in the same folder of ccminer, but when I run the bat shows:

• "'ccminer' is not recongnized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
  

Win7, Intel Core2 Duo E7500, with an antminer (that I don't know how to make it works).


This recognition problem is happening with other miners too. Already google it and find some answers, but none worked for me still.

Does anyone know what it can be?

Here's the bat file I'm using:

• ccminer -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://bcn.pool.minergate.com:45550 -u user -p x
  pause

Tx!

I have the same problem wit last "GeForce Game Ready Driver" & GTX970.  

Impossible to mine with version 384.76 (29 june 2017) & 384.94 (24 july 2017).

I have downgraded to version 382.53 (9 june 2017) and it works well
