Topic: [ANN] NSF Miner - ethereum miner without fee [AMD+Nvidia/Windows+Linux] (Read 2026 times)

for getting 3070 to work with nsfminer i need just drivers from additional drivers from software and updates on ubuntu 20.04? or i need something else installed?

Thanks for the response. I appreciate it.
Although it's nice to see open code, it's mostly foreign to me.
Is there an equivalent for "cu-streams" for AMD/CL? I see the cu-streams parameter listed under Nvidia in the usage info so I assumed it was for cuda only and not for AMD.
I suppose I could try it but I've already removed the miner and would rather not build from source again unless I knew it would work for CL. Thanks for your time.

see here: https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer/blob/master/nsfminer/main.cpp

for my RTX nvidia i have this

My hashrate is about half what it is with other miners when using nsfminer.
I'm using older tonga based 8gb cards (AMD) on linux with modded bios, corectrl, amdgpu-pro with basic OpenCL install.
Does anyone know how to use multiple threads?
On the miner I've been using I can set two intensity values to activate splitting workloads into "two threads" per card (21+21).
With Ethminer there's the argument -t or --mining-threads but this won't work with nsfminer.
Also is there an "intensity" or "boost" for AMD?

Is it possible to mining eth+zil on nsfminer?

answer is; --verbosity 6 (2+4)

How can we see both together;

--verbosity 2 "log per GPU solutions"

and

--verbosity 4 "log per GPU calculated effective hash rate"

I know the project from hiveOS and anyway I use the hiveOS link.

REAL LINK: https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer

Why would you care if people avoid using your links unless you're intentionally redirecting them
to phishing sites?

you can do it easier - send a complaint to the moderator, let him decide what to do with the topic

this version at least start and it doesn't seem to be a trojan
but:

The miner is unable to list devices with some polaris 8gb and some 4gb in the slots and no Nvidia in the rig

What is needed in future update:

a readme file with all the command available
an example in which some device is used and some other are not

The two meaning of the same letter with lower case and UPPERCASE doesn't make sense -h -H -l -L etc..

The sintax of the miner is in conflit with the sintax of this pool: Ezil.me  where a lot of people is double mining Eth

The miner with 4 rtx 3070 is offering almost the same hashrate as Trex, with more unvalid shares with the same oc BUT its powerconsumption is 2 % lower that is a very good point

Once is negligence, twice is malicious.

This thread and its author can't be trusted. Bookmark the real github and don't ever use any links from this thread.

fixed, thanks

I just found, in the link for linux, there is mining with L "minIng" in uppercase

the false link https://github.com/no-fee-etnereum-minlng/nsfminer/releases/download/v1.3.9/nsfminer_1.3.9-ubuntu_20.04-opencl.tgz

the real link https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer/releases/download/v1.3.9/nsfminer_1.3.9-ubuntu_20.04-cuda_11.2-opencl.tgz
=
==> https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer/releases/tag/v1.3.9


the credibility of the author of the post is surely not on ...

I also did not understand the story of --help? and virus etc .. more in hiveOS, he would have seen no problem since in the version?

Yuritzai,
Now, I am annoyed, to say the least.

Please write here what is supposed to happen if I launch a bat file with
nsfminer --help

because, it seem that, again,  that your github link is compromised

Small update for NSFminer

NSFminer v1.3.9 release note:
-Fix unknown console log entry in Windows
-Update Windows CUDA toolkit to cuda_11.2.2_461.33

I think this is a very good result for a miner who is exposed without dev fee

NFSMiner and TREX/Gminer same result Mhs and share (juste remove 0.65% or 1% for check real hashrate)

in future updates

New update coming soon

write down the result, I think it's interesting to know and the rest of who will be interested in the miner

Thanks for the info...

The original Windows binary doesn't need an installation, also no admin permissions. You just put the nsfminer.exe somewhere and run it (with arguments, so from a .bat file for more convenience). When running "nfsminer --help" on a CMD window it should output help infos, instead of asking for admin permissions and trying to install something.

For me the trojan created a file znsfminer.exe in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 - it also created the files helppane.exe (and put it in automatic startup) and libssp-0.dll in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\libraries\commons-logging\commons-logging\1.1.3. I guess it just selected a random folder within the user directory that has sufficient tree levels to hide the files "down there", because I don't find any reference for these specific files in this specific folder (and not everyone has Minecraft installed). So for everyone else it's probably in different folders. You could search for the .exe or .dll name within your user folder, although there is no guarantee it won't use a different file name (that usually belongs to a valid system file in Windows) on other systems.

That's the thing's I know because Windows Defender detected them. I don't know whether there is more and I should rather reinstall Windows now, still investigating...

mmmh, that's why probably I wasn't able to install it
In fact 1.34 worked, 1.37 upward weren't installing correctly
I will delete everything then

At the moment everything is normal, I also complained about the github account, now I will look at the history of logins to the account and change the password at the same time.
Thanks for the info

I'm sure it wasn't on purpose - that you can easily fall for such a link is the whole idea about creating such a repo. But yes, you should always double-check such links, people actually click on them 

I also reported the repo on GitHub, hopefully it's removed soon.

One minute, now I'll double-check

I can't believe nobody noticed that yet, although people already complained that running it from the command line with --help parameter doesn't work as expected and the program wants to run as admin and install something instead, which should raise lots of red flags.

OP is spreading a virus, since his binary links lead to no-fee-ethereum-minlng instead of no-fee-ethereum-mining (L instead of I). It's a 1:1 copy of the original GitHub repo regarding the source files, but with different (malicious) binaries on its "releases" page. If you use this you probably mine on someone elses behalf instead for yourself.

Ethminer runs better with 6800, 6800 xt and 6900 xt for my rig too.
6800 sapphire nitro+
6800 xt msi,
6900 xt xfx

Yes, but ethminer runs better with opencl kernel support for RX580

Thanks, - R worked well!

Question, can this miner be used with older AMD Rx580?

Add -R command.

Hi
Looks like that this miner is not reporting any hashrate to ethermine , it is mining but 0 is reported.
Can somebody confirm?

Thanks

Read the topic again, at the very beginning the developer's contact is indicated, and I have not written anywhere that I am a developer

Project owner and developer @ jean-m-cyr

yes, if he is really in contact with Jean M cyr, he will put an eth or other key on the page;).

I am waiting for the news, after I have been using it for several months without the need to advertise.

Many tks: JayDDee

Be carefull, OP is not the developper. I suggest you contact the developper directly.

https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer

This is the second time I have seen a thread promoting someone else's software. It's the same
pattern: lots of posts with no content, just promisses, and nonsensical responses to technical questions.

There's nothing wrong with the software but be carefull who you donate to.

What's new in this version, I can't wait because I have all of my nvidia 3xxx cards that are running very well.

It is a pity that you do not take into account the ETH + ZIL mining because the other "fork" projects are not maintained.

How to make a donation?

I prefer to make a donation than to be taxed for a mining software that does not bring anything.

New update coming soon

until it is a priority

can you add cuda 9.2 or cuda 10?version cuda 11.2 give me 14mh on gtx1070.other miners 27-28mh.ethminer0.19 26.5mh

yes these features are announced in future updates

I’ll give it a try and send feedback. But can you add more options like temp/fan/clk/mem voltage/... control to it? It would be very nice.
Something like zombiemode would be great too.

How can I see the average pool value in nfsminer for binance pool? Like other miners...
I couldn't find it under the --help section.

If not, I have a request for the next version.

nfsminer works stably for me.
1x 6800 sapphire
1x 6800 xt msi
1x 6900 xt xfx

there is no answer to your question among closed topics?

I think that nothing, the project does not take much time, in addition to this there are other projects that generate income

That's just a list of closed issues. Which one is it and if it's closed why does it still fail to compile?

see the solution to your problem here: https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer/issues?page=1&q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed

any idea for the DAG options? initialization and avoid badshares.

I having problem compiling on Ubuntu 20.04. I managed to work though a couple of issues
but never got it to compile.

First I have to clone the repo. The release source tarball doesn't have the git config files
so git submodule update fails.

The default in Ubuntu 20.04 is GCC-9. I needed to install GCC-8 and configure cmake to use it:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc-8

Then this error during make:


I then editted 2 config files to change all references of c++17 to c++14. It got further but still failed with many undefined references:

There is plenty of free mining software out there.  Hell plenty of free software in general.  There isn't always a catch.  2 free projects off the top of my head:  ccminer and cpuminer-opt

Any idea why it wouldn't recognize the AMD card?

thanks for the info, this is useful data

hello,

My résult: 2 rig same config | 1 T-REX - 1 NSF


I try with 1  ASUS TUF 3070:

NFS - 60.88MHS
T-rex - 61.70MHS

But T-rex 1% Fee => 60.88 + 1% = 61.48Mhs

So between the software with fee and NFS it is for me the same or even sometimes more efficient.
Because with Gminer, Trex or Phoenix the hashrate is increased but it is to pay their Fee in reality ...

I use it I have 19 Nvidia 3060Ti and 3070 cards.
We have a few badshare from time to time, do you do a CPU checks like the others in order to avoid badshare?

Then, possible to add DAG sequential initialization and the way it builds in order to avoid corrupted and bad-share DAGs, I have a RIG of 10 cards and its load the dag of 10 cards in 1 time.

Otherwise good work.

pretty good results, given that the miner has no commission, as compared to the phoenix

Ok I just gave this a spin, thanks for the work on this by the way.  Tested on 1.38 (Windows)

I have a 1660 Super and a 5600xt.  When I launch the miner it says no opencl devices found.  It does find my nvidia card however.
On Phoenix miner I get 30.215 MH/S.  On NSFMiner I get 29.97, so its comparable.  I didn't test the power output or anything like that.

I would recommend putting some example bat files in with the release archives.  Most people are too lazy or confused to read the documentation and create on themselves  

Win 64 Pro 240 GB SSD 32 GB Virtual memory

I-3 6100 8Gb Ram
Asus Pro Carbon Z170 MB

1 Rx470 8gb Nitro
3 RX570 4 GB Sapphire
everything on Risers

AMd driver : 20.1.2

write the system on which you run the miner

1.37 doesn't work
1.34 ........ does

What I have to do in order to have
1.38 to work ?
 

Figure out how to "fool" these new RTX cards to mine full speed and you will have instant client base lol

try running version 1.3.7

If I make a bat with NSFminer --help

and it didn't start
and I receive message that:
Setup was unable to automatically close all application. It is recommended that you close all application using files that need to be updated.

WHich application its referring to ?

UPD
New version added

Release Notes:

-Lower compiler optimizations to safer level
-Effective hash rate (option -v4) calculations working for stratum2.
-Fix nvml.dll search for NV GPUs.
-Use single DAG instead of split DAG on AMD drivers that allow greater than 4GB allocation.
-Handle f2pool out-of-spec. messages.

Excuse my ignorance... But nothing is free... What is the catch to using this software?

are there any preliminary results?

in the testing process, I will write down how the results will be

Everyone who checked the miner is asked to share a review on its use. Desirable hashrate on your video card, how much was in the test and your wishes and comments

Also, you can see your question of interest here: https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed
If you encounter an error or want some new function, open the topic there as well.

More information coming soon, follow the project

these functions will be possible in future updates

thanks for the info. How long did the test take?

Tested over 40h, better effective hashrate than Phoenix/Lolminer for me in 5700XT on Windows, and has no fees!

power usage same than phoenix (4w more than lolminer)

To meet the community, ask general questions and chat about the miner join the ethminer channel on Gitter (https://gitter.im/ethereum-mining/ethminer)

All bug reports, pull requests and code reviews are very much welcome.

I will give it to the developer, I do not promise anything, but I think he will listen to the wishes

This.

Some information about the GPU (temperature, fan speed, power draw...) would be nice.

Do you have any suggestions for what new to add to the miner?

Nope still using it. 42.65 mhs.

New 1.3.7 version available.

Notes: Use board name rather than architecture for AMD

Examples connecting to pools: https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer#examples-connecting-to-pools

switched to another miner?

I used it for about a week on my RTX 2070 rig and was getting between 42-44 Mhs per card using Core -200, +800 Mem, 70 PL

I tried this and no real hashrate improvements over the old version for Nvidia

Try old ver: https://github.com/no-fee-ethereum-mining/nsfminer/releases/tag/v1.3.4

It seem something in the windows enviroment is missing.

I tried to run, at least Nsfminer --help, as admin, to see the commands available, so, I open a dos window as admin, and launch it. after a while it say something like"it seem that setup can't continue because something is missing" ( translated from windows in another language, so not accurate), do you want to ignore or continue installation ? I tried both, with no results

Share the hashrate results later, thanks

Thank you  for pushing Open source.
I will test it during the weekend with Rx 480,Rx 570and rtx 3070 just to see where it stand and what is doable.
