Can you add equihash_210_9?
Thank you!

Yes, i can, exists any coins with this version?

share your oc settings guys


dev i am.still.waiting for 3gb 1060 doesnt working


I finally did what you ask for, the results are sad, I think it's like this: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/15b9654e-5da7-45b7-93de-e8b63faef064/windows-10-does-not-let-cuda-applications-to-use-all-vram-on-especially-secondary-graphics-cards?forum=win10itprohardware, my measurements show that 2.6 GB is available for win10, but the algorithm requires 2.9. So I do not think I can fix it. In the future, I will return to this.



I've been re-upload the first version without any differences, other than fixing the memory check, this eliminates a possible miner crash.

If a coin openly supports asics then everyone will get them, and the gains will be equal or even less compared to when everyone mines with gpu. But you will have more useless paperweight. Horrayy

How's it ignorant, when it's true  Huh
Because, it's literally not true. There is, literally, no more "resistance" in a setting that requires x more RAM when there is still a massive cost effectiveness increase over GPUs.

As I said earlier, professional miners will be happy to pay 10x the current ASIC price to increase the RAM in ASICs and the miners will still have increased profits over GPUs. It's nothing more than hyperbole that declares that a larger RAM requirement is a "resistance" factor for ASICS that are nearly 14x the hash rate, use 1/10th of the electric, and cost 1/14th the price of GPUs. If adding RAM raised the price by 10x, ASICs would still be 1/4 the price of GPUs, use 1/10th the electric, take up less than 1/20th of the space, and have 14x gains per setup.


Apologies to EWBF for "hijacking" the thread, but it's a closely linked topic (if nothing else) and I abhor mis/disinformation.

At some point, people will learn wtf they are talking about and stop making such ignorant claims.  Roll Eyes
The only "ASIC resistance" change is in the amount of RAM that the ASIC would require, meaning that "resistance" is only "increased" by an infinitesimal amount.

EWBF Cuda Equihash Miner v0.1

Greetings!
This is the initial release of a new miner for Equihash algorithm.
It is based on my last Zcash miner and almost completely repeats it.
Now closer to the topic:
*  Parameter "solver" is disabled.
*  Solver for equihash 200,9 has been deleted.
*  Solvers for Equihash 192,7 and 144,5 has been added
*  Added timestamps in the output to the screen and to the log file.
*  Argument --algo is added, allow you to select Equihash variant allowed two values 144_5 and 192_7. This parameter is mandatory.
*  Argument --pers is added, allow you to set personalization string (8 charachters) for equihash algorithm. This parameter is optional. Equihash by default uses the string "ZcashPoW", many other coins also use this string, but not all, some coins use their own string, and these are all differences, so for some coins, you need to set the --pers option to the required string, for example, Zero coin: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annzerzero-your-transactions-are-your-business-3310714  uses the string "ZERO_PoW" and for mining this coin you need to pass arguments --algo 192_7 --pers ZERO_PoW ....
Fee is presented and by default 2%, argument --fee is presented too.

Expected performance:
144_5 uses ~2.2GB vram
 1060 6G ~20S/s
 1070    ~30S/s
 1080    ~35S/s

192_7 uses ~2.9GB vram
 1060 6G ~12S/s
 1070    ~18S/s
 1080    ~20S/s

Please note, that this is initial release, and it can be baggy or incompatible with many coins or pools.
Miner compiled with cuda 9.1 for x64 linux and windows. Support devices with compute capability 5.0 and higher.

Can we add this to smOS? Does anyone know if there is a tutorial out there to replace the old ewbf miner in smOS with this one?

People in general have to realize, there is no "Asic Resistance". For every POW-Algorithm, there can and if its worth it will be an Asic for it

yeah yeah Smiley) will see how quick will be asic for ZHash algo

So true, as much as we all love our GPUs and current/historic profitabilities, at any price-point under $13k USD and consumption under 3300W, the professional miner looking to hit 10k+ Sols/s will choose a single unit ASIC over a massive stack of GPUs, every time; so, even if the ASIC cost to add RAM were 10x, it'd still be a viable "cost of doing business".

Finally he's back. I really like EWBF's zcash miner and even keep using it because of its's stability.
By the way, I have just tested my MSI 1070 seahawk at 75% power limit, +45 core, +80 mem, 192/7 algo, 14 sol/s.

How hard would it be to do for 144,5 ? is it something you could put out or isnt TOO MUCH of a hassle?

Sort of would make the 2gb still usable for the new algo, or at least for those that go with 144,5

In programming, we are always between two edges: first, performance, and secondly, the use of memory, I mean, more speed - more memory, less speed - less memory. I'll take a look and try to fit into 2 GB.


Hello EWBF!

A question for you, how difficult is it for Bitmain and Inno_Miner to just do an Over the Air update to their miners to include the code you have in here for 144.5 algo?

Nice to see EWBF alive again!  So which coins are using 192_7 currently?

I'm curious to know how easy it will be for Bitmain to update to these alternative parameters also.  Otherwise these hard forks to avoid ASIC's will be pointless.


I do not know, because I've never seen their devices, but I think it's impossible, because of the memory requirements. In fact, I think that they install memory chips only to meet the requirements of the 200,9 version, large memory requirements will lead to a change in hardware. Whether they will do it or not, this is a big question.


EWBF, What is the oldest Linux driver version that will work with your miner?

I prefer to stay a bit back from the bleeding edge of drivers. Experienced to many driver regressions in my 34+ year administrator career. Let me know....

I compiled it under cuda 9.1, and I think that requires drivers >= 387, in the future I will compile it for old cuda too.

What are the parameters for overclocking 1070? same as for Equihash?


I'm using the same parameters for overclocking for my 1060's and it works fine

Thank you very much for your hard work! Me and all LitecoinZ Team will test immediately the new miner on our testnet!

Any plans to release also a version for AMD GPUs?

Thanks again!
Mark

I have not worked with OpenCL for many years, so the answer is no, at least not now.

why i cant mine with 3gb cards? 192_7 is 2.9gb should be ok or no?

I did not test it on 3 GB cards, try it on cards without the display connected.

I have 6x1080. Started it, but its exiting with no error. Log doesnt have any error.
I tried the stock run.bat too.
Any Ideas?

what is output on the screen?

they dont have display connected.
can you check this for us?&

Ok, i will check it out, but only tomorrow.
