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

[TheHypnoToad]

Just a note for those if you with cuda 8 installed, it won't build unless you edit the '-with-cuda=/usr/local/cuda' part in configure.sh

It took me ages to figure out why it wouldn't build, hopefully this helps anyone else with the same issue!

Dear Dev,
What should I change to be able to build the miner on Visual Studio 2017?
on 2013 working fine but on 2017 and many errors.

Does anyone know if mining Vert coin and Mona coin with ccminer 2.2.3 and suprnova require more GPU core clock, memory clock, or both?

For eg. I know it's more important, for Ethereum, to have as high memory clock as possible while with Decred, last I heard, you lower memory clocks because Decred only uses the core.

So what's the best way to go about with Mona and Vert Using Nvidia GTX 1070s?

I'm using a miner called ccminer 2.2-mod-r2-CUDA9 in Windows 8.1 for LYRA2RE2 mostly mining vertcoin on my own P2Pool node or occasionally the LYRA2RE2 algo port at Miningpoolhub which switches between mona and vertcoin based on profitability and difficulty. This ccminer is a Nanashi version available here:

https://github.com/Nanashi-Meiyo-Meijin/ccminer/releases

I currently use 1060 6GB (5 of), 1070 (4 of) and 1080 (1 of) and all of them are set to core +120, mem -500, powerlimit 105% using MSI afterburner.

The 1060s hash at around 26mh/s, the 1070s at around 40mh/s and the 1080 at around 52mh/s. My total varies between 345mh/s and 350mh/s.

I'm pretty sure that is quite a bit better than the tpruvot ccminer for Lyra2RE2 specifically, I have never used it for any other algorithms. If I want to mine Neoscrypt I use the Klaust version, but for anything else - for stability, reliability, etc I use tpruvot. Alexis seems to do better at some algorithms but I find it to be unstable, or it's reported hash-rate isn't actually accepted as being as high at whatever pool.

Did you try Palgin ccminer?

In my mixed rig (1060+1070+1080ti) it performs better.

Is there a limit of GPUs when using ccMiner ?

I have a rig with 18 GPUs and the last 2 are giving an error when starting ccMiner.

for lyra2v2 use ccminer alexis78.... 1060 6gb - around 27 tdp 70 OC 200, 1080ti tdp 65 oc 110 around 61-65

Hmmm, is it normal that I have more hs/s with -t 2 -i 5.1 (640 threads x 2 = 1280) 650-680 than with single thread and -i 10.3 (1280 threads) - nearly 550 h/s ?
I have single 1060 6 gb.
In 1st case I look at summary of 2 threads

Am I missing smth?
Also without any  manual for intensity settings ccminer doesn't use all cuda cores of 1066 (1280 cores) and gives nearly 520 h/s.

[2017-12-09 15:29:09] GPU #21872: unable to query application clocks

yes, 16 max, and less on windows i think due to drivers limitation

[k3rt]

Code:

--mem-clock=3505  Set the gpu memory max clock (346.72+ driver)
--gpu-clock=1150  Set the gpu engine max clock (346.72+ driver)
--pstate=0[,2]    Set the gpu power state (352.21+ driver)
--plimit=100W     Set the gpu power limit (352.21+ driver)

Do those options will auto-overclock my GPU, or are they work as the max limit (making sure clock/temp/power doesn't go above set value)?

[Epsylon3]

no, only plimit is reliable

Dear Dev,

on 2013 working fine but on 2017 and many errors.

You need CUDA 9 when you want to use VS 2017.
Usually CUDA doesn't work with the latest VS versions.

Good Morning, someone can help-me?

I'm have 2x 1060 and 2 1070 using Simplemining.

I config the miner to use lyra2rev2, but don't work, get error.
Already checked my worker, and lines configuration a milion times.

Help-me?

You do know this is for ccminer?

You'll be better off asking for help in their thread.

[joblo]

Many questions seem to be from people using older cards not supported in the default compile.
Would a sm version check help prevent these problems?

[Epsylon3]

many noobs this week too.. which often ask before searching

Can you raise the limit ? Windows 21 GPU here on one of my rigs.

[Epsylon3]

at this level do it yourself in miner.h

[klintistwood]

I'm mining ETN fine with CCminer 2.2.2 but when I try to mine MONA, I always get the same error from the start: Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Any idea what that might be?

Thanks!

Hi Folks,

i´m running ccminer-x64-2.2.3-cuda9 on an 1060 6gb to mining electroneum with no problems.

I have an portable that is in work basically doing nothing and trying there the same ccminer version.

He have an 820m nvidia gpu that i think is cuda 2.1. Ofcourse when i try to use this verion i got this error:

https://ibb.co/hGMUFG

Any tip for what version should i use to use this graphic or if its possible to use it?

Regards,
