Set this up for my 1080Ti rig (3x 1080ti Zotac amp extreme core).  It worked the other day (quite well, actually with around 4-5% improvement) but now whenever I try to start it up, it gives me only 1/4 to 1/2 of the hashs i should receive.  Anyone know why this happens???  Strange that it was working before but now does this.  Doesnt show any error, either, just the shit hash rates.  Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Can you paste the logs?

This is what shows when I run it.... nothing really unusual I can see except for the 3rd GPU seems to start a little bit slower than the first and 2nd.  (its a 3 gpu 1080ti rig, all Zotac 1080Ti Amp Extreme Core).

Having same problem. Win 7 x64, 390.x drivers, latest win updates, other miners working without problems. Funny how even author don't know exact library dependencies Smiley

Same issue on Windows 10.  No output, no log.

On second computer I'm using Win 10 Fall Creators with latest updates and it works but on Win 7 x64 SP1 also having no output, no log. But today was having strange behavior on that Win 10 machine, it was working at about only 1/3 of hashrate while DSTM works full hashrate without problems. Restarts or reseting on default clocks didn't help ... Huh Unfortunatelly, I didn't saved logs for dev to analayze :/

hi!

has anybody got this to work on Linux?

I download files. create .sh file or copypaste sample configuration directly from bminer website.

then I run chmod +x for .sh file and bminer file.

after this when I run ./mine.sh

it will just exit and nothing happens. what is the problem?

I have checked that files have can execute. still nothing.

what are the requirements for linux?

teated with ubuntu 16.04 and latest nvidia drivers.

Did ./bminer -help print out anything?

Just tried again for fun -- still doesn't start for me on Windows 10. Not from batch file, nor on its own with any command arguments.

And that's with two different Windows 10 machines, one AMD Ryzen 7 1700, one intel i7 3770. Both with a GTX 1070.

Any way to debug this? I don't have anything strange running at the same time, as far as I can tell.

Just to confirm -- did you turn off windows defender? Windows Defender sometimes would deny the execution.

What happens if you directly click on bminer.exe?

Yes, I had tried disabling Windows Defender, despite it showing no indication that it cared about bminer.exe. Disabling Windows Defender had no effect.

If I double-click bminer.exe a cmd-style window appears for a couple seconds, then closes. It has no contents. There are no error messages or other outputs.

EDIT: same result with new 5.2.0 version.

Try installing Visual Basic libraries, .NET Framework libraries, and latest CUDA SDK. 99% it will fix this for you

I do some very basic, minimal compiling on these machines, such as compiling xmrig & xmr-stak. So I have the CUDA SDK, and some .NET/VB libraries. Can you suggest specifics on which ones I might be missing?

What are the outputs if you are running the executable directly?

No output. When I run bminer.exe in cmd window, it just pauses, then goes back to the prompt. When I double-click it, an empty console window briefly appears, then disappears.

Hello, the same here. When I run bminer.exe without parameters it pauses for a maybe half a second then quits to the console. No output. I've got Visual Studio 2017 installed, so the libraries you mentioned are in place. What could be missing? Windows 10 x64. I've got number of miners, no problems. Card configuration: MSI 1080 GamingX, MSI 1060 Armor 6G.

Just try adding a pause command after the arguments in your .bat file.

bminer -ArgumnentsHere -AndHere
pause


Edit:
run this for help with a list of available commands, pretty self explanatory lol

bminer -help
pause

Going to run some multi hour benchmarks on my 1070ti and my 980 individually on the competitive miners and hopefully put my mind at ease with these huge fluctuations and massive dips pool side.

you know, the problem isn't I don't know how to parameterize the miner, the problem is, that its output is none. And I've got the console open, so I don't need pause command Smiley I even tried the latest version 5.2.0 and the -logfile=.\bminer.log parameter. The file is not created.

You forgot your password in your commandline
Code:
START "Bminer: When Crypto-mining Made Fast" bminer.exe -uri %SCHEME%://%USERNAME%:%PASSWORD%@%POOL% -api 127.0.0.1:1880"

before playing with variables, test your cmdline without them....

I came back to revisit your miner.  Cheers for the updates on this, it has come a long way since the first release.  I am seeing noticeable gains from other miners on the two rigs I am using it on now!

I was mining BTG for at least 4hours... and all my credit disappearead ....
I don't know if I did something wrong.. but mining ZCL was normal... I just tryed to change the command line:

mine.bat -
ZCL: bminer -uri stratum://user.worker:[email protected]:4042 (WORKING)
BTG: bminer -uri stratum://user.worker:[email protected]:8816 Huh

I deleted the text inside mine.bat with "@echo off"etc... and used just the command above.
I really wanna mine BTG with this miner... can someone help me plz?



if thats the command line your using you have to use your suprnova username in there... eg.  -uri stratum://[email protected]:8816

otherwise it should work.
