Hey sp_

i can´t connect to zergpool or to mining-dutch. Same problem as in the previous version.

F2pool work, hashalot work also.

[scryptr]

I MINE WITH LINUX--

Here is what I posted on the TeamRedMiner Discord today:

"scryptr — Today at 8:16 AM

I have 4X Nitro+ 4GB RX580 w/Elpida.  Clocks 1250/1870, hash 540kH/s per GPU.  Seems stable overnight.
I get some rejects, wheras mining Haven (XHV) I had near 0 yesterday with TRM 8.
Currently 2 rejects out of 180 accepts, ~1%
The straight-to-memory verthash.dat is a really nice touch."

This was performed on an ethOS rig with older AMD drivers.  It is a modded Ubuntu 14.04 based system.  The developers abandoned the system.

My 1050ti cards are mining UBQ at about 13.5MH/s per card with PhoenixMiner 5.5c in an ethOS rig.  They are steady with near zero rejects.  ZergPool rates UBQ more profitable than VTC.  I am mining both coins on ZergPool (using ethOS) and will compare for myself.

The VertHash free miner will not run on ethOS, it calls for libraries not present.  Please make a static build capable of running on the older linux system.  TRM works well on ethOS, but only runs on AMD cards.  TRM just released v8.2 with VTC today.

Working on spminer #4

Faster start(5 seconds), fewer rejects, ZIL support. +++

And Linux support

Not working alone anymore. Supported by Team Black (www.pouet.net)

I can't use your suggested cores setting because energy doesn't come cheap here, so I stick with 1190/840 2090/840 with Matthews straps for eth/Monero

I tested your spminer3 and trm,(and srbminer) with the same setting on the same 6 "sisters" rx 570 itx elpida cards at the same time using 3 accounts.

TRM seem to be faster than your 488 Khs/ cards just going a little over 500....................................with SRB coming 3rd

But surprise surprise. miningpoolhub just see the opposite and paid accordingly!  gGving spminer card a 10% $$ advantage compared to the other two.
It was 24 hour, so it can't be luck. And its enough clear for me.

only weird thing? your 1 % seem to be 1 % but it comes in a weird way in one big shot

But from tomorrow, you know what I am using right ?
Unless etc keep increasing, of course...

Not working well for p106 rig, lower hashrate and huge rejected shares:

This is an old bug. When loading the file into gpumemory with more than 2 gpu's, 2 core celeron and 4gb memory it lags abit. But it's only happening at startup.

Still SPminer#1 remains the best for this rig.

Kernel #1 was tuned for pascal cards and cuda 10.2
Kernel #2 was tuned for rtx cards and cuda 11.2

I will try to include them both in the same build. Or build a seperate cuda 10.2 version.

Okay thanks. If you can't combine them, please add a v1 fix 14 with Zil miner switch if possible, that would be great.

[sp_]

I have added a cuda 10.2 build of #3 rtx 3xxx cards fail with this build.

I tested it and it gives Improved hashrate on compute 6.1

Also added faster startup.

What hashrate are you getting on the P106-090 with the spminer 3 cuda 10.2 build?

i can´t connect to zergpool or to mining-dutch. Same problem as in the previous version.

It's on the todo list.

Linux support is working on opencl, but cuda has performance problems.

THANKS FOR LINUX SUPPORT--

I hope that it will run standalone, with no library calls.  VertHash is my top earner for my smaller GPUs.  I have 12 GTX 1060 3GB that would be better off mining VTC.  UbqHash keeps producing false orphans; the wallet is flawed.  The orphan can be corrected if the pool operator takes the time.

Waiting for the Linux version...       --scryptr

Only 317kh per card :/

I'm having a problem with spminer 1 in the donation period? Please see this video: https://streamable.com/mf6pap

It seems to be going on for ages? When will it stop? Is it always like this? I just setup a new rig with 6 cards and it is happening now while I'm trying to test.

[sp_]

I'm having a problem with spminer 1 in the donation period? Please see this video:

Did you add enough virtual memory to the rig? 32gb should be enough. spminer1 has known issues, and you should upgrade. #4 is coming soon,. Working stable on linux now- The hashrate is looking good.

I had it set to 20gb. I will try 32 soon, just reinstalling windows.

Maybe this is it. I removed one card so only 5 and it works, but I get a lot of rejected shares (20%~) on mining pool hub with the 5 cards in spminer 1, all with returned reason of "low difficulty share" is this just because my hashrate is much higher now, is it okay to ignore this? I think maybe there is an issue with my windows install as I had some blue screens, after I reinstall I will test again and report back.

Image of "low diff share" rejects: https://ibb.co/7G79nSg

I want to use a newer version but all of them have much lower hashrate for me, it's like losing a whole card.

PS: verthash miner was also crashing with 6 cards not just spminer. The error was something like 700 unable to allocate to device memory"

EDIT: I might of found the problem, one of my cards doesn't like being undervolted as much as the others and was causing the crash I think, need to do more testing but seems stable right now.

EDIT2: stable again, just need to rework undervolts: https://ibb.co/3NwRX9z

EDIT2: stable again, just need to rework undervolts:

I have managed to restore cuda 10.2 performance in the spminer #4 cuda 11.2 build on the gtx 1070, but not sure about the P104-090.. Zil switch implemented Disable mining while zil is active. (auto generation of verthash.dat added. Zergpool working. linux support. Next is to create a static linux build. Plan to release in a few days.



spminer for vertcoin #4 has been released

spminer4.7z

- Restore cuda 10.2 performance from #1
- zilliqa switch implemented Disable mining while zilminer is active.
- Auto generation of verthash.dat added.
- Fixed Zergpool and improved the stratum code (fewer rejects)
- Stop mining on disconnection
- Faster GPU init and mining start (1 second dag creation)

But surprise surprise. miningpoolhub just see the opposite and paid accordingly!  giving spminer card a 10% $$ advantage compared to the other two.
It was 24 hour, so it can't be luck. And its enough clear for me.

Thanks for testing. With zil dual mining in spminer #4, you can get another +15% profit.Spminer is the fastest miner, the most profitable and the most stable miner for vertcoin.

Which etash miner have you used  for testing with spminer4 ?
with  which pool?

SP_ HAS TESTED SEVERAL POOLS--

For VertHash mining.  If you have a typo, correct it please.  I can't really understand your post with the current spelling.       --scryptr

Sounds good. I will test SPminer #4 in the morning and report back.

EDIT: hashrate is still much lower with spminer #'4: https://ibb.co/sm1QNcN

Thank you Script. I will try to explain better.

Spminer 4 major difference from the previous versions is the possibility to dual mine VTC+ZIL.
In order to dual mine with two different algos, or you need a miner that work in in multimode, only one being srbminer as far as I know, or you need zilswitcher and two different miners one for etash and one for VTC.

As you can see in the new release (if you have opened it..) there are 8 bat files, and 4 of them are for dual mining.

if you edit one of the dual mine bat there is not mention of zilwallet,so I supposed that spminer 4 does take care only of the VTC part, simply stopping mining when from a pool(different from the VTC one) an epoch 0 will be sent.

so another etash only miner need to be used and probably "linked" by zilswitcher
together with a zil pool, tha can be like ezil.me where you double mine eth+zil or like shardpool where you just mine shardpool when epoch 0 comes

so, which  ETASH miner has been tested ?, in which ZIL pool?

simply because I tried to finalize a bat file that works with my rigs and I was not successful with zilminer (doesn't have a documented function of use /disable a gpu) that I need having  4/8 gb mixed rigs
 



 

[sp_]

so, which  ETASH miner has been tested ?, in which ZIL pool?

To dual mine you use the zilminer and mine zil on a standalone zil mining pool like shardpoo.io.

ZilMiner.exe -P zil://ZIL_ADDRESS.WORKER_NAME@eu1-zil.shardpool.io:5000/api --work-timeout=99998 --retry-delay=998 --farm-retries=99998

Then launch spminer#4 with the zil switch. The zil switch will switch off the verthash gpu mining while the zil pow is active

EDIT: hashrate is still much lower with spminer #'4: https://ibb.co/sm1QNcN

Did you try the intensity option? -i 15, -i 16, -i 17, -i 18.4 ? I don't have your card, so don't know the best launch config for it.

Hey sp_,
i tried your miner with one of my igpu, but it won´t connect to pool if i mining to zergpool. On f2pool it sometimes work after 1 or 2 restarts via loop.

spminer #4 should work with internal graphics without restarts. The Zergpool bug has been fixed.

No but I will try it soon and report back.

What other flag options are there for this miner?
