Does setting --fee 0 also slow down the performance?  I know ZecMiner for AMD did that, but the dev said so.  Here, EWBF says there is a --fee option, but doesn't say if it would lower performance if you set it to 0.

Just looking for clarification.

This miner is actually quite a bit faster than excavator's, so I'm okay with the 2% fee.

please help guys

was mining great for a week

now this happens:

http://imgur.com/a/n2jPA

my miner opens and closes really fast

Your command prompt is running from c:\windows\system32
You need to call miner.exe from the directory it is saved in

how do we do this guys? god damn i wish this was in simplemining fuck windows

Put the command (call the miner with its full path) from a .bat file on your desktop, not from the admin cmd window.

I have tried this with "C:\Users\tom\Desktop\miner.exe" --server eu1-zcash.flypool.org --port 3333 --user t1QM4kRxb1h3TJeaEoT6VwWLm9ug2RL2fXf.zmain --pass x

still nothing

Hi, here is can be a lot of reason for this behaviour, software problem: miner, driver, etc, hardware problem: bad raiser, bad gpu or weak power supply.
Try running multiple miner instances and distributing all the gpus between these instances, this will give you an answer whether this error is related to a specific gpu or not.

Code: 77 -- Check yr GPU memory (one card at a time). Try using MemtestG80 and test for at least 4096mb video ram.

Did you try unticking   -Unlock voltage control  and  -Unlock voltage monitoring?
1070's become unstable when they are ticked.

Guys, thank you for taking the time to help!! Great community and great mining software. With your support and suggestions I was able to determine that I apparently had a faulty card causing all 6 to crash. Now I am able run with 5 GTX 1070s until my 6th gets replaced at ~415 sols/s...time to tweak the cards to squeeze more hash!

Nice miner  Smiley gives me 36 sol/sec on my 940MX laptop GPU. Nice work and waiting for further optimizations Smiley

Hey guys,

So I've been running into this issue now for the past few days and I cant seem to get around it:

http://imgur.com/a/xdIJH

I'm running 6 GTX 1070 with the latest drivers and I'm using version 0.3.3b for the miner. I've searched through this thread and saw a suggestion to try--solver 1 or 2 but had no luck there. Also, in order to even get this to run I have essentially underclock both the core and memory drastically..if I dont, I'll get the same error immediately. I have a log of this if anyone wants to take a look.

I'd really appreciate any help!

Thanks

For those who are getting Win32/Skeeyah.A!bit virus detected when downloading this miner, you're probably downloading from the 0.3.2.  Try downloading from the Mega link instead - it has the latest 0.3.3 (Google Drive link only has 0.3.2).

I was also getting this detection.  This detection doesn't look like the typical "it's a crypto coin miner" detection.  Skeeyah.A!bit seem to have unwanted behaviors, so be careful!

When I downloaded 0.3.2 from Google Drive (I thought that was the latest), it got triggered.  When I went to the Mega link, I noticed there was a newer version, but it didn't trigger the detection.  I also downloaded the 0.3.2 version from the Mega link to see if it triggered the detection and it did.

So it seems either the previous versions were infected or they are being falsely detected.  Either way, I'm not chancing it.  0.3.3 didn't trigger the virus detection.

Just a PSA.

Hi,
I've added support for the EWBF Zcash miner in the latest development version of Awesome Miner.
The API of the EWBF miner is a bit limited at the moment. Would it be possible to extend it to also include the following:
  • Mining uptime (time since the process started)
  • Current pool and worker
  • Average hashrate, in addition to current

Thanks!
Hi, Yes i will add additional data. Thank you.

Hi, you can try to add the full path to the file name, for example C:\blah\blah\miner.exe and make sure that the file exists in the directory.

Hello there! Grin

First wanna say TY for dev for thise miner!!! Its really important for me, because im only my first 24h in mining and this is firs miner that i was able to figure out what to do)

I really need help from you, guys to anderstand what is going on!
I have my msi 1070 armor, and now trying to understand 1 thing - can i actually get $2.84/day as "WHat to mine" culc says for mining ZEC.
Now im mining ZEC on suprnova and miner shows me 450 sol (some OC). In *.bat file im using standart setting wich is "miner --server zec.suprnova.cc --user ***.q1 --pass q1 --port 2142".

I allready mined for 22 hours=0.02624205 ZEC, so simmple culc and i figere that in 24 hours i will have 0.028627691 ZEC = 0.00158712 BTC (best exchange in poloneix now). So it is 1.91$ per day!!! I probably missing something, i'm shure!! I tried before nicehash automatic mining and it shows me in stayistic that i will have 65$/month = 2.16$/day.
So:
1. Using gtx 1070;
2. EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner Version 0.3.3b. (miner shows 450 sol) ""miner --server zec.suprnova.cc --user ***.q1 --pass q1 --port 2142""
3. Mining on suprnova pool
The question is:
1. Let me know if i missing smthg in my culculations;
2. Is it fine to have 1.91$/day with my rig?
3. what i need to change in miner settings to get more profit?

Really TY you guys for answers and whaiting for them with patience! Because need to decide asap to buy or not to buy new rig)



1.
2.Dont bother too much with revenu discrepancies, they never are the same.
3.450 S/s is not bad but with EWBF you should get around 480 H/s - - Clock +100  Mem +495

Working fine with Suprnova pool.

 GTX 1080 : TDP 56% Core + 187 Memory + 550 = 312 Sol/s average
 GTX 1070 : TDP 65% Core + 200 Memory + 650 = 255 Sol/s average
I have 1080 and 1070 on suprnova too.

1080 TDP 75% +420 mem - 510 sol on 0.3.3b - 135w per gpu - Gigabyte extreme gaming custom watercooled :-)

What do you mean +550 and +650? It's core memory increase so much?

What about fee dev control? (--fee)
Is it possible to set it to 0?

In CM's miner, if you set the fee to zero it is going to speed down, so from your perspective, it does not matter at all. But with EWBF's miner, it doesn't
Because of this ideology, I will always have the FEE option enabled for EWBF, besides, he is creating a badass miner for the efficient NV cards.

Think about it.

I have even written my own miner before to avoid a fee, although it was 5% I believe.   However, EWBF's miner is good enough that I really don't mind the 2% fee.
