[ANN] ccminer 2.3 - opensource - GPL (tpruvot)

[ibinsad]

Hello,
i have 4 1070 and 2 1080ti
8 gb ram
Virtual memory 25gb
Windows 10 PRO
Driver 385.41

The only miner i can use is ccminer all others fail including alexis 1.0.

I tried the specific ccminer for cryptonight but it shows me illegal memory access errors.

If I use intensity 10 it works with ccminer, if I try to increase intensity it shows again illegal memory access.

What I tried is to reinstall older drivers but the issue still.

I think to reinstall win 10 in a new drive and increase virtual memory.

Any suggestions before I try this solution ?

Forget about intensity. ccminer will set it properly. You can play with -l switch, ie. -l 32x16 or bfactor switch.

Said that the most rewarding algo for your GPUs is Equihash and by a long distance, see www.whattomine.com .

Thanks now it works fine
I just put  - l 15x60 and it goes better.
You know which is the better conf for 1070 or 1080ti ?

If 1070 has different value than 1080ti how can I tell the miner which device has this value?

You're welcome.
No, I don't know the best cryptonight conf for these cards, sorry
Second question: I think Epsylon3 himself is the more suitable to assist you  

[Epsylon3]

Are you considering implementing/enabling BTC-auto exchange on yiimp.eu in the near future?
Thank you

no, if some day i do that, it will be a secondary pool.. but for now the exchanges are not ready for that..

need some intermediate platform services like shapeshift do.. (btw you can use shapeshift to convert your coins)

Hi,

I have a pc with 2x GTX 1080 Ti.

With one card I had no problem.

But the system keeps freezing when I start mining with Tpruvot.(skunk)

After a few seconds the system freezes.

Whats wrong with that ?

I have already tried to change to intensity - no changes.

Other Miners are ok - and with 1 card I had no problems.

PC:
4 GB Ram
2x GTX 1080 ti
Win 10 64 bit
Intel CPU

BR

Hmm, i dont see issues about that... mining skunk with many cards since beginning... but i boycott win10 for now even if i bought a licence, its only on my second disk (waiting a version without auto reboot)

[booze]

can someone please explain this error to me? trying to mine verge (myr-gr algo) using any ccminer version -
reject reason : low difficulty share of 1.8.......
when im using the lyra algo i get around 20mhs and then with myr-gr algo says 180mhs but keep getting the error....
thanks

Thanks now it works fine

May I ask you how did you come to -l 15x60  setting?

TIA

annnnnnnnd why would i be getting stratum authentication failure 

[ShowMeCoins]

annnnnnnnd why would i be getting stratum authentication failure 

Did you use a [ADDRESS].[RIGNAME] format? With some pools you need to 'register' your worker first.

yes i registered so not sure what issue is?! this my bat file

ccminer -a myr-gr -o stratum+tcp://xvg-mine.idcray.com:10061 -u xxxx.xxxx -p xxxxx, -i 19, --cpu-priority=3
pause

Slower than EWBF equihash by 10%, maybe i do smth wrong?

Use one of the dedicated miners for Equihash.

If i use ewbf in nicehash: ok, but it's nicehash...
If i use ewbf not in nicehash: 1 of my 1080ti crash even on stock settings
so i looking for some alternative

So I've run into something interesting in using the beta 2.2.1, using cuda 9.

I originally ran the following command line in a bat file.

• ccminer-x64 -a lyra2v2 -d 0 -o stratum+tcp://18.85.34.148:9171 -u Vg39fRFWf2CwAuAXuXzMTs99Jh1ZTaCUDJ -p workwork -t 1 -b 0

After a period of time, it would fail out saying that the result did not validate with the cpu

I messed around with various settings for intensity as well as overclocking (memory, gpu, memory+gpu, various voltage adjustments) and the result always ended with the same error.  I noticed that the rate was also slowly decreasing over time.

I also tried --cuda-schedule spin.  It actually lasted a bit longer with a higher rate, but it still eventually errored out, the same quickly repeating did not validate with the cpu error message.

So in messing around more, I did the thing you're not supposed to... changed multiple things at once and it resolved the validation check but showed json-rpc call failed: method not found.  As I'm seeing my rates on the server page, I'm guessing (and by a stretch) that this is not a huge problem.

I changed the command line to:

• ccminer-x64 -a lyra2v2 -d 0 -o 18.85.34.148:9171 -u Vg39fRFWf2CwAuAXuXzMTas99Jh1ZTaCUDJ -p workwork -t 1 -b 0 -D 1 (and I just noticed that I added an a to my wallet address for this one... oh well)
• I set my i5-6600k back to stock voltage from lower multipliers, voltage, etc. (trying to reduce overall wattage as kwh here is 0.21)
  

I wanted to try out adding the NSIGHT_CUDA_DEBUGGER, but I know nothing about coding at the moment so I have no idea where I would put that.

I'm guessing that it was reverting the settings on the cpu back to normal, but I figured I'd mention it in case others were experiencing similar issues

In case it helps I'm currently running that last command line without issue so far connecting to p2pool (18.85.34.148:9171 Cambridge US) at around 37.25 MH/s:

• i5-6600k
• 16 gb ram
• gigabyte z170x gaming 7
• msi sea hawk ek x gtx 1070
  (yes, temp never breaks 45)
• driver v 384.94

with afterburner currently set to:

• 65% power
• 85 temp limit
• +176 core clock
• +940 memory clock

next testing, hopefully useful is:

• revert command line
• enable spin
• update drivers to 385.69

If things seem to work, it will be at least a few hours between changes.

Hey guys,

I'm experiencing that my power consumption is unstable. My cards varies between 150-200 W using ccminer 2.2.1.
But when I use another mining software like ethminer or Nicehash the power is constant on 160 W.

Anyone having the same "problem" like me?

unstable ??

This is perfectly normal btw.

DOES ANY ONE HAVE GUIDE HOW TO BUILD THIS FROM SOURCE?
I have installed VS 2017 and cuda 8.0/9.0 and re-targeted to vs2017 but cannot build- all failed (every line with "Fail!")

You need to fully uninstall CUDA 8 and VS2017 first.
Then.... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=770064.msg21694341#msg21694341
That is: you need VS2013 and Cuda 8 SDK in order of installation (cuda 9 is not yet final, get rid of it)
After installing VS 2013 Community Edition reboot your system.
Then, after reboot install Cuda 8.
Cuda 8 does NOT support VS2017 and it is stated CLEARLY here http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-microsoft-windows/index.html

Im runing into an issue with CCminer. This is what happens its not always immediate, but it happens when it's setting the intensity of the GPUS.
"cc miner has stopped working"

Thank you for your help, I have tried it but getting a of of those errors while compiling the latest 2.2.1 32bit release:

Code:

"warning : Too big maxrregcount value specified 80, will be ignored"

I think he means that in one second his wattmeter shows power consumption 150W per card and in a few seconds later 200W per card and than down/up again and again.
I have also such issue with one of my 1080ti when it is on stock settings, but I have overclocked it and now it works stable with ccminer 2.2.1.
