I downloaded CUDA MINER but it only includes a single ,exe file and doesnt run because it cant find any of its DLL files.

I copied the exe file into the NSG folder and it still doesnt run.

The regular NSG gives me about 60% of the hashrate on my 7 GPU GTX1070 so I thought I try CUDA MINER. Can someone please help me figure out what I am doing wrong here?

CUDAminer needs libraries from the Visual C++ 2010 redistributable which you can download from Microsoft. Everything else either comes with Windows or compiled in.


NSGMiner isn't working on my ASUS 1060 Single fan x6 cards , other hand ccminer is working fine ! Whats wrong ?

OS : WINDOWS 10 64 Bit
MINING : GOBYTE .

Your cards have 3Gb of memory. Most GTX 1060 have 6Gb. Set the intensity manually to 15.

Please anybody help download linux BINARIES  not source code v0.9.4 GPU NOT CPU
from github i downloaded file nsgminer-cpuminer (!!!)  i don't need mine cpu
it's mistyping and this is GPU miner for linux or not?

i have too much problems with compiling and my computer is above 1000km far from me.
If i install cuda/reboot/etc  server can go down for eternity.

Official uploaded binaries  have minerd file

I cannot execute next command , binaries doesn't exist
Example configuration for the NVIDIA GTX 1080:
Code:
nsgminer -k neoscrypt -g 1 -w 64 -I 15...

Linux users are supposed to compile the miners themselves. They need the cURL library with development headers, GNU autotools and GNU C compiler in case of NSGminer. These should be obtainable from system packages. CUDAminer also depends on the CUDA toolkit.

I made some tests on 1050 Ti with cudaminer v1.0.0 using the --mode 2 option which gives the best results, also i have reduce TDP to 58W and the hash rate is about 450KH/s, i was expect from this card to do about 520KH/s on 55W, but ι failed to my calculations.
Changing SM_50 to SM_52 i think gives more stable hash rate.

The best way to find out is to try NSGminer with your own hardware...you can tweak certain things and get better performance.

For example.   I have  2x  AMD 280X cards.  1 from MSI  and 1 from XFX.      The MSI 280X  hashes at 550 KH/s   and the XFX 280 hashes at 480 Kh/s

create a .bat file with the following in your cudaminer folder. You don't have to move it anywhere

cudaminer-x64.exe -o stratum+tcp://<POOLINFOHERE>:<PORT> -u <USER OR PAYMENTADDRESS -p x

My GTX 1060 goes from 715KH/s @ 90W to 505KH/s @ 60W. The memory bandwidth per stream processor is about the same for GP106 and GP107, so the difference is probably due to better power efficiency of 1060 at half the rated TDP.

If their clock speeds are the same, the difference is due to relaxed memory timings of the XFX one. Could be solved by BIOS patching. My 280X with Elpida BBBG perform no worse than with Hynix AFR.

I am trying to get nsgminer to run on a windows 10 64bit machine.  I have 1 RX vega56 that I want to mine with using nsgminer, and 3 gtx 1070Ti's that are used by another miner app. 

When I run the batch script it ends with a pop up "nsgminer.exe has stopped working".  I have attached the debug output below and it looks like nsgminer is bombing out at "No binary found, generating from source" 

Anyone have any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

For AMD this miner is slow, better try this:

I have tried    
Claymore's NeoScrypt AMD GPU Miner and it did run, I had a issues where iut seemed to get hung switching between my selected pool and dev pool.  So I wanted to give nsgminer.exe a spin

I just playing with miners for Neo. This works but it seems I get a better hash with Claymore. But to be fair I will continue to tweak this and see.  Smiley

Let me make it straight.

His miner is fast indeed, but it's proprietary Windows only with a dev fee. Considering size of the NeoScrypt mining market, it could make him a few bitcents daily. On the other hand, NSGminer is open source and therefore funded entirely by user donations. There haven't been any for the last year despite a dramatic increase in mining profitability. You can check yourself with the donation addresses in the OP. I could assume the people don't care about mining performance, but this thread's activity suggests the opposite. If all those miners don't bother themselves to donate anything, why should I bother myself to write faster kernels to please them?

If I don't get 0.15 BTC in donations to cover the cost of a single decent Vega 64 card for development purposes, I'll be greatly discouraged to upgrade the performance of NSGminer to match Claymore's one.

Some people like to complain about greedy developers if they use devfee, but same people don't want to donate even single day of mining for all efforts that were put into mining software. I donated 0.15BTC, it's devfee from my NeoScrypt miner for about two weeks.
BTW, be ready to spend a lot of time if you want to speed up your miner on AMD, I spent more time than I expected...

Please read Readme and FAQ in the first post of this thread before asking any questions, probably the answer is already there.

That's very generous, thank you. There is nothing wrong with the dev fee as long as the software is all your work, in fact, a lot of your work. Those who violate the GPL by selling private miners based on open source code don't play fair.

BTW, be ready to spend a lot of time if you want to speed up your miner on AMD, I spent more time than I expected...

I realise that clearly. I've spent much more time than I've expected on my CUDAminer while the gains aren't very impressive compared to other CUDA miners, but I've identified a couple of bottlenecks in my OpenCL code at least. I haven't tested your miner myself because my mining rigs are Linux only except of the oldest one still running Windows XP 64-bit which doesn't support any AMD GCN GPUs obviously.

Donated some FTC. Please keep up the great work Ghostlander & maybe add a TZC address for further donations from the TZC community.

Kindly regards,

Hello
Do you have a crypto currency Orbitcoin developing or forgotten about it?

I'm getting an awful lot of requested work restarts on a p2pool.
Any thoughts on why ?
