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.

The version 5.2.0 has been released. It brings a few improvements on NiceHash and Windows:

  • Introduced the option -logfile to append the logs into a file.
  • Minor optimization on Windows for cards that are mounted on the risers.
  • Improve compatibility for NiceHash.

Enjoy!

Is it possible to increase the Sol/s with more optimizations or is what we have now about as good as it's going to get?

HI. Just an update on the BMiner.

I have tried it om my setup:
BTX 250+ pro board. 4gb ram. 3390 celeron cpu. 1x Strix 1080 and 1 1050ti card. I'm mining at 799 Sol/s. I also updated to the newest NVidia drivers(390.65).

Overclocking with MSI Afterburner: 1080 = Code: 235, Memory 300, Same for 1050TI

This is verified at pool (miningpoolhub.com)

Sofar this miner works better than any other software I have tested on my layout.

Regards

Hi, May I know the full string for nicehash?

@echo OFF

REM Change the following address to your Zcash taddr.
SET ADDRESS=3DovKVnnHhaeQhTJ4UDHy7wwbbFz8yXAvg
SET USERNAME=3DovKVnnHhaeQhTJ4UDHy7wwbbFz8yXAvg
SET POOL=equihash.hk.nicehash.com:3357
SET SCHEME=stratum+tcp

bminer -uri stratum+tcp:://3DovKVnnHhaeQhTJ4UDHy7wwbbFz8yXAvg@stratum+tcp://equihash.hk.nicehash.com:3357 -api 127.0.0.1:1880 -pause

It seems cant run. The command prompt keep close even though i put pause behind.

Should be something like the following:


bminer -uri stratum://[email protected]:3357 -api 127.0.0.1:1880





You can take a look at https://www.bminer.me/examples/#mining-on-nicehash as well.


Thanks mate, it's working now. gonna compare it with dtsm.

Yikes, on v5.1.0 when connected to Nicehash it can get into a state where it suddenly hashes invalid shares which are all rejected with the message "share above target"!

It seems to happen when the pool changes nonce size. I'll PM you the full log.

Code:
[INFO] [2018-01-22T09:03:52Z] Set nonce to 1008c8a600

[INFO] [2018-01-22T09:03:52Z] Received new job 000000142e9e27f4

All went well after that point (note the nonce size) up until the nonce size was changed, triggered by a disconnection:

The reason why it closes instantly is that '-pause' is not a valid command line argument.
You are supposed to just write 'pause' in a new line. Try this:

So I've been trying to use different miners on flypool to get some benchmarks. Using windows 10 with 8x1070's.

However, bminer keeps crashing different cards unexpectedly and restarting the miner but only with flypool. Also, about 3 of the 8 cars will have their afterburner settings wiped out.

When I use it to mine on miningpoolhub, everything goes as expected. Only difference is the -nofee parameter. Below is my flypool config.

@echo OFF
REM Change the following address to your Zcash taddr.
SET ADDRESS=XXXXX
SET USERNAME=%ADDRESS%.bminer
SET POOL=us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333
SET SCHEME=stratum
START "Bminer: When Crypto-mining Made Fast" bminer.exe -uri %SCHEME%://%USERNAME%@%POOL% -api 127.0.0.1:1880 -nofee

Any ideas?

Trying out for the first time, using latest 5.1.0.

Runs on linux.

On Windows 10 amd64 there is no output for a couple seconds, then it ends. No error messages, nothing. Just a pause and a return to the command prompt. CPU is AMD Ryzen 7 1700, GPU is evga nvidia GTX 1070. I usually oc the GPU but I tried without any OC and it still just hangs for a couple seconds and quits with no output.

Very strange.

Can you please share your command line / BAT file?


Sure! Here you go:

Code:
@echo OFF
REM Change the following address to your Zcash taddr.
SET ADDRESS=
SET USERNAME=%ADDRESS%.
SET POOL=us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:12023
SET SCHEME=stratum
START "Bminer: When Crypto-mining Made Fast" bminer.exe -uri %SCHEME%://%USERNAME%@%POOL% -api 127.0.0.1:1880

Actually the command is good, but you need to set your worker correctly in HUB WORKER CONFIGURATION.

Steps:
After login to miningpoolhub,
on the left bar, click "Hub Workers",
then on the right side, for your work, select your Job to Equihash, don't use "Account's default job".

For mining, you can run:
bminer -uri stratum://%USERNAME%.%WORKER%:%PASSWORD%@us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:17023




So, it's interesting...I applied your recommended changes and everything seem to work for awhile, but I when I woke up this morning, I noticed that the miner was hanging. The shell window was still open, but the last line had the time from almost 7 hours ago. I checked MPH and had very little gains compared to what I normally expect.

I really like this miner, but problems like this are a red flag :-/

Again, no errors, the shell window never closed. It just appeared to be..frozen.


'SET POOL=us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:12023' is set for algo switching Equihash. Does bminer just not like to algo switch? If it does, then something isn't set correctly and/or there is a bug.

Hate to double post, but my last post just got ignored:

How do I make the email adress work?

I followed the example exactly but my nanopool account page just shows

workerFmail0example.com as my worker name when I use -uri stratum://wallet.worker%2Fmail%[email protected]:6666.

I am getting a weird error only on one of my workers using BMINER. The error is::

Checking updates
Failed to retrieve the update: The information has expired.

It just repeats that like 20 times then the miner starting with no issues how do i fix that?

Can you try deleting firmware.bin on that worker?

I tried that and I still have that issue. What else can I try?


Can you please make sure that the time of the worker is properly synced?

Well the time being off by 5 minutes will do that. Thank you for the help!! I love your miner!!
