What sort of lag are you guys experiencing with nanopool? I'm typically getting around 150ms, seems high for being in the west coast and pointing my rig to the west coast server no?

Was running ok with 6 cards for weeks ... Apparently Error 42 and 30 did happen yesterday. System was 0 sol while using full WAttage. and 1 card has gone.
Only seem to detect 5 cards. I did a DDU and did install new drivers, but still only seem to detect 5 cards. I did check cables and cards. They are ok

So absolute noob to the whole mining business...i just had a 980ti and decided i should give it a shot...i made a wallet and copied my Zcash address. I edited the fypool.bat and pasted my address instead of the existing one in front of "--user" and saved it while touching nothing else...I've left it running and I'm getting between 410-440sol...so have i done it correctly or have i missed something?

I have issues with this miner on GTX 1080 Ti. Sometimes it randomly stops working, but I solved it by disabling dev fee.
It doesn't want to use my card correctly, instead it uses 55% power and ignores core OC settings in afterburner.
If I manage to 'safely' crash and restart nvidia driver, it works fine. Using 382.53

I am having a tough time understanding how to use API.

Added http api you can use http://127.0.0.1:42000/getstat address to get statistics.

This is the result -

This site can’t be reached
127.0.0.1 refused to connect.

so here is my command line -

:restart
Timeout /t 30
miner --server us1-zcash.flypool.org --user t1ZLXNkPtzjAg2GbjvTsU7KxbuuTwsegrYR.gronk5 --pass x --port 3333 --eexit 3 --solver 0 --log 2 --intensity 64 --api 127.0.0.1:4200 --logfile ZCASH.%date:~6,4%%date:~3,2%%date:~0,2%.ewbf.log --fee 2 --pec
ping 10.0.0.9 > nul
goto :restart

This is what I get when the miner starts

INFO: Server: us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333
INFO: Solver User defined.
INFO: Devices: All.
INFO: Temperature limit: 90
INFO: Api: Disabled


What do I need to do to enable API? Something on the this end? Something on the mining end?

TIA


Your command line to start ewbf says 4200, maybe should be 42000 ?

Also, at least on my win10 with Chrome, I just say "localhost:42000" in the address line. Neither 127.0.0.1 or the actual IP address work.

Can anyone share their 1080 clocks/voltages/hashrates using EWBF's Zcash miner please? Or point me to where I could check myself?

nvidiaInspector.exe -setPowerTarget:0,60
nvidiaInspector.exe -setBaseClockOffset:0,0,140
nvidiaInspector.exe -setMemoryClockOffset:0,0,988

So, Power at 60%, BaseClock +140, Mem +988

Have not tested to any limits yet.

I get 540 sols/s at  up to 160 watts peak but average 150W
That is pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing. Out of curiosity, why nvidia inspector and not eg. MSI AB?

@EWBF_
Is it true that GPUs use only one of their CPUs to process the work?
A friend of mine read somewhere that Nvidia was preparing to release a cheap card that
would be equiped with a sole cpu for mining purpose only.

I do not quite understand what you mean, but each gpu works in a separate processor thread, and yes one cpu stream for one gpu. Plus a couple of threads for api, statistics and so on.

Is there a way to set the intensity on a per card basis rather than setting it for all cards?  I love the intensity addition, but the reason I wanted it is to set the intensity lower on one of my cards so I can still use my computer and stream video without buffering while keeping the other cards running at full speed.

--intensity 1 64 64 64 64 64
The first gpu will use the intensity 1, all the others 64.





I have 6 VGA 1070 in rig. 5 of them mark simultaneously from 490 to 510 sol / s A single VGA always be on the 380 to 420, you have the solution?

thanks for your work , EWBF.

Please try to fix the 0 sols/s bug. Miner keeps failing to restart when in such state.

EWBF, why you don't release the source already?

I have plans to use this code in other miners, it contains a couple of my libraries, and i definitely do not want to publish my libraries, but without these libraries, the code must be completely rewritten.

What is this command for?
I know that you are doing ping, does that mean that if you do not have a connection or crashes the miner restarts?

ping 10.0.0.9 > nul

Did anyone manage to get 450 sol+ stable on a Hynix 1070? on less than 90% power?
i'm gettin 430+-

+150 clock

I get the same result.
Why do I get -

when the miner starts? Do I need to change something there?
