Support for Minex (MNX)?

MNX uses the MARS algorithm.

OMG its using Equihash with diffrent start params...

Bminer is a highly optimized Equihash miner that runs on modern NVIDIA GPUs (Maxwell and Pascal, i.e. GPUs that have compute capability 5.0 or above). Bminer is the fastest publicly available Equihash miners today. It features a completely restructured algorithm to maximize the stream processor occupancy and the instruction pipeline efficiency. It realizes the full potentials of Pascal GPU cards.

Bminer also comes with REST APIs to facilitate production deployments (e.g., mining farms).

Similar to other miners, Bminer contains 2% devfee.

Features

Fast

735-745 Sol/s on GTX 1080Ti
450-460 Sol/s on GTX 1070
315-325 Sol/s on GTX 1060
On stock settings

Secure and reliable

SSL support
Automatic reconnects to recover from transient network failures
Automatic restarts if GPUs hang

Operation friendly

Comes with REST APIs to facilitate production deployments

Quickstart

To mine Zcash on Windows on nanopool:

Download and extract Bminer into a folder (e.g. C:\bminer)
Edit mine.bat and change the address to the desired Zcash address that Bminer mines towards.
Open command line prompt and run mine.bat.
Enjoy mining

Please see https://www.bminer.me for advanced usages, APIs and updates.

Downloads

Windows x64:

SHA256 Checksum: aa76348d8dc7ca931945c5de2e8bd130ded3eb2bbd615b70c8be4e05f9abbfe2

Just verified the claims here. I'm getting 500 h/s compared to 480 h/s with EWBF 0.3.4b. However, the code appears to be very early-stage in its development. At the same clock rate where EWBF is stable (6x 1070 - +99CPU +520MEM), this script crashed consistently after 1-2 hours.

Also, it would be very nice to see round trip time (RTT) on the submitted shares. It is difficult to tell if the program was hanging or not before submitting a share.

you realize 2 percent dev fee is too high right, claymore is getting ready to lower his 2 percent down to 1 percent with his next update to his equihash miner sooooooo if you want people to use yours id suggest you do the same, because when claymore changes it so will everyone else NVidia or amd doesn't matter. not to mention you are a newbie account also for as much work as your miner needs 2 percent is also kinda high to begin with, api isn't even there fully, cant control the rig remotely at all and cpu usage is too high

Claymore miners are in the thousands if not hundreds of thousands, his fee should be 0.5%, that's not the same for a miner that is starting out Wink

But i agree with you, miner should be refined before being usable and some "details" need to be explored deeper (like the cpu load), keep up the good work dev.

Makes me happy to see Nvidia mining developments getting published. Seems like the transition from AMD 6 months ago was worth it Grin

The high CPU usage is due to how the CUDA driver communicates with the GPUs. I have observed that doing a busy wait (higher CPU usages) is faster than sleeping in some cases.

Will make it a configurable option in the next version.

Linux version?

Still ironing a couple issues out for the Linux version, please stay tuned.

The only disadvantage is that there is no working temperature of the graphics card

I just tried DSTM and in my case I'm getting 2-3% less than the Bminer with the same settings, 1054 Sol/s vs 1083 Sol/s. CPU usage is definetly much higher at 99% with Bminer vs ~20% with DSTM on a Pentium. Power usage at the wall is 23 W less with DSTM. For the api in Bminer you need to add /api/status to the end of the ip address and port, but it's just unsorted text shown.

Someone should monitor the outgoing connections, so if it's connecting to some other pool, then this miner is mining with your CPU for the dev.

Hi Miners,

in my opinion that program has some CPU mining scrypt inside core. When i use bminer my rig draw 30W more energy from wall and all core in my i7 cpu usage are 25-30%. My GTX1080 GPU draw 110W ( clock, memory is the same like EWBF miner, DTMS, 4,99Sol/W ~545,2Sol/s after 12hours, in Bminer hash rate is 560 Sols/W but rig draw more power.

for newbe

if you try dig with miner you should open txt file

bminer -uri stratum://walletadress.workname@pooladress:port

example:

bminer -uri stratum://[email protected]:3058 -api=127.0.0.1:1880

pause

next save file - like test.bat
and run

API doesnt work fine in my case.

I tried to use the more miner gave error here, I got the command line ready for the nanopool and it replaces the wallet and the user more of the error "miner died", if someone can help with the step by step I thank you.

Sorry the english, i used a translator.

We'll my Zotac AMP! Exteme 1070 is now showing ~500 Sol/s @ 150 W, so that's ~12% better than EWBF if it's correct!

Ran the same settings on both miners and it's more like 4-5% more than EWBF. 1080 + 1070 =~1020 Sol/s on Bminer with 60% Power limit and 350 W at the wall. On EWBF it's ~970 Sol/s for both. The 1080 gets the biggest boost on Bminer about 10% ~574 Sol/s with 60% power limit. I'm mining on Flypool which only shows the effective hash rate, so it will take a while to be accurate but it seems legit.

thanks for taking one for the team! Keep us posted. glad to see more miners being developed!

I won't bother testing it as long as it is windows specific.

The issue is that ewbf is not the fastest miner availible so it should be compared to dtsm´s miner and the increases are not that significant. But the 1080 boost seems nice, i will test it on my rigs.

In either case it continues like this indefinitely, seemingly without getting any real work done. EWBF and dstm miners have been working fine both with and without VPN. I'm using a GTX 1070 on Windows 10. Please advise.
