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


what is output on the screen?

1. Final date has not been decided/shared. We'll make sure you know when it's decided.
4. Yes, "BgoldPoW" - references:

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.

EWBF Cuda Equihash Miner v0.1

Greetings!
This is the initial release of a new miner for Equihash algorithm.

2. Yes.
3. Yes, this is correct for  equihash 144,5
4. They said "We are going to upgrade to Equihash with a the parameter set <144,5>, with some customization." everything will depend on this "customization", if they change the algorithm, and not just the string of personalization, then a new miner will be needed. If only this line, then you will need to add --pers "string" and that's it.
5. Yes.

Is there a way via command or another outside program to do so?

Testing with 144,5 on a test pool my 2gb cards wouldnt fire and program just pauses/stops. Although when I call via CFG file just to my 3gb card test mining will launch and accept jobs, but as soon as I add a 2gb card to the list of devices it wont even start mining.

LMK and thanks for your work!

IS there any tricks to use 2GB cards or are the new equihash algos coming out basically similar to ETH with its 3GB dag file your screwed?

AKA Must use 3gb Vram or higher cards only?

questions.

1. BTG is is going to 144.   when is that again.

2. When that happens. old miner will stop working and i must use new correct?

3. here is my script. what will i need to change?
miner.exe --server us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com --user x --pass xx --port 20595

new script (help me with this, is this correct?)

miner.exe --algo 144_5 --server us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com --user x --pass xx --port 20595

4. ( --pers )would help answer question above. is this needed for btg, if so, what do i change it to.


5. does --fee 0 work as intended??


ty!

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

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

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


what is output on the screen?

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

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?
