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

[RealSwissMiner]

My mining rig is running with the Nvidia driver version 384.xx..... Did anyone upgrade to version 388? Any speed changes (positive or negative)?

I would also like to know this - anyone tried the new drivers out and would like to share his/her experience?

It seems I found the reason of the problem.
On ccminer "stratum stale jobs workaround" works badly.

Just see what difference on shares in comparison with old ccminer alexis (same stratum difficulty)




When I set  --submit-stale   both miners have aprox same shares-rate.
So how to improve my stratum? Maybe I should do jobs broadcast more frequently?

I am not sure if I should try it or not because my rig is just running perfectly stable and I dont want to risk that........

Will this work to mine BTX using a 5x1070 Nvidia and Ubuntu 16.04?
Thanks for your reply.

YES--

Read the Readme.  Set the algorithm and point it at a pool, like YIIMP.  If the cards perform well, make Intensity or clock adjustments.       --scryptr

Thanks, I will get into it.
If I get stuck I will post here.
Thanks for your help.

who knows how to configure ccminer for equihash?

who knows how to configure ccminer for equihash?

HERE IS A SIMPLE LAUNCH LINE FOR KOMODO (KMD)--

Komodo is an Equihash coin on YIIMP.  Here is the launch file:

===<CUT LINE>===

:loop

ccminer -a equihash -o stratum+tcp://yiimp.ccminer.org:2142 -u RLz5eeiuwDi7nz7owbMButBz8rCMZPbxb4 -p c=KMD,d=32 --cpu-priority=3

pause
goto loop

===<CUT LINE>===

For Windows, place the loop in a batch file.  Do not include the cut lines.  For a Linux BASH script, remove the loop statements and simply include the single launch line.    Be sure to place your own address in the line after the "-u".        --scryptr

388.31 drivers gave only half Neoscrypt hashrate with alexis 1.0 cuda 7.5 ccminer. Rolled back to 384.94 and everything is perfect again (1350 kh/s for 1070)

My favourite neoscrypt cuda miner is KlausT 814, in my cfg faster than ccminer 2.2.2.

are there any plans to create for AMD GPU?

Spi4ka, if you want to mine zen on nvidia better try ewbf or zm miner
here are small tutorial for zen mining on nibirupool with links to all miners.

Hi Tpruvot,
Why your equihash algo is taking only 80-84 % of GPU while all other algo utilize them fully 99%-100%.
This also explains why its Sol/s is 20% slower compared to other equihash miners available.
Do you have any plan to fix it ??

[shubaduba]

Hi! Please help.

I want to change to next miner in my batch file if "--max-diff=x" is higher than i want.
But if diff is too high for that algo ccminer dosn't exit, just saying "diff too high, waiting...."
How can i make that to exit after diff too high?

Thanks for help

Is there any solution?

I'm interested in that too.

Don't want to use external algo-switching stuff

Has Zcoin stabilized enough where you would add it back to the pool?

How do I do 2 threads per card? Do I need to do -d 0,0 -d 1,1 etc?

[Maaim]

I am a micro miner, one GPU card in my desktop computer, and no programmer, just an "end consumer".  I am using the precompiled windows 64 version of ccminer 2.2.2 from GitHub.  The miner works, but I am unable to increase the intensity level when scrypt mining.  No matter what intensity I set in the command line using the -i function, no matter where in the command line I put the -i function, and even though it initially assigns more threads, it then reverts to a different (?default) intensity a few lines down. My gpu doesn't even warm up, and the hash rate is low.  Rather than overclocking my GPU, I would prefer to increase the intensity so that it works harder.  How do I get it to actually run with the intensity settings I want? This is what I see:

I XXX'd out the actual pool, worker name, password, but you can see where I attempted to set the intensity to 14.99 in the command line, was assigned extra threads, then lower down the intensity was changed to 12.0313 with only a fraction of the threads.  I have also tried with setting the T levels myself in advance, so that the auto-tuning does not occur, same result. Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

Did you ever find a resolution on this?  I'm running into the same issue with 2.2.2.   -i flag doesn't seem to hold and you can't shut off autotune in the Windows version.

[halker2010]

you might be able to use --no-autotune 1 for ccminer if you didn't try it out yet.

[CanadaRunner]

Hi, I compiled the new cuda-9 branch and everything compiled without problem.
Makefile.am was adjusted to nvcc_ARCH = -gencode=arch=compute_35,code="sm_37,compute_35" for my K80-card
Then I wanted to run the benchmark to test my setup. Started fine and then failed

./ccminer --benchmark

IS "NO-AUTOTUNE" BROKEN? --

I recently compared CCminer v2.2.2 vs. Excavator v1.3.8a minning with NeoScrypt algo.  My 1080ti mined at 1.4MH/s (CCminer) vs 1.02MH/s (Excavator). This is at stock clocks and default launch.

However, when attempting to adjust Intensity ("-i") on CCminer, I noticed that it would launch at "intensity at 16 (+5)", regardless of whether "no-autotune" was specified and an "-i 17.3" value was set.

Is the launch disregarding the flags, or mis-reporting the launch parameters?       --scryptr
