Pretty sure he has to write in the pools as it doesn't switch pools for the dev fee. So if the pool isn't listed it wont connect.

P0 state enabled?

Have you enabled power state 0 (P0)? If your memory speed is 3005 you are in P2 state which is slower in some memory hard algos.

P0 State on GTX980 gave me 210~215 Sol/s 1404 gpu / 3814 mem 74C on W8 (W10 had me some hash trouble on miner). using 376.09 nvidia driver

NOTE: up to 215~218 on v0.02... Nice work!!!!

Ok, try to limit your tdp + overclock your memory to 4000 or higher, you will find your sweetspot.
will check your tip, ty

Yeah, there are definite stability issues with the miner... It seems like it'll just occasionally drop GPUs. The miner shows they're still hashing, but they're not actually doing anything if you monitor them.

You don`t need Cuda toolkit just driver that support cuda 7.5 or 8.0, try newer driver

Bensam, your analysis, where did this huge nvidia equihash go?

What huge Nvidia Equihash?

Latest drivers work like charm also folding@home is working again with it.
So nvidia polished the problems ...

 One reason I stuck with 375.70 - never had issues with F@H.

 "The latest and greatest" drivers have a bad habit of BREAKING stuff far too often - NVidia OR AMD/ATI....

Anxious to try this out but I'm going to outline my thoughts

On one hand
  • I'm excited that someone new is developing a miner, welcome!
  • Awesome to see and hear about such great performance

On the other hand
  • Serious security questions I have on a possible 0-day release of something being packaged within the miner
  • No previous history or references to who this new person is, yes the developer has developed a great new miner but how do we the community know if it isn't doing something else?

Since Zcash is pretty much in the tank right now, I'll not risk it but watch this new product and hopefully some future miners closely Smiley

EWBF - How about an XMR CPU/GPU Miner? Cheesy

Conspiracy theory: I wonder if Claymore couldn't develop this miner himself because of some kind of agreement so he created a new account? Wink

First I want to correct some errors. Then I make a version for Linux.

i kept getting an

Init error code -7

windows 10 Nvidia drivers 368
3x 980ti

somehting like that, forget the exact text
so im reinstalling drivers

used with and without  --cuda_devices 0 1 2

 Try 372.70 (most stable on my 950/960 cards) or perhaps 375.70 (most stable on my 1070s and good stability on my 950/960s).

Should be working with miningrigrentals. It is not locked miner.

I wouldn't be stating it doesn't work if it works.

For some strange reason some GPUs just stop mining randomly. They don't crash, there isn't a driver reset, the program is still showing that they're hashing (even though you can verify they aren't doing anything with a monitoring program). I just saw this happen on one of my rigs. Restarting the miner fixes this, but it happens randomly and seemingly without reason.

Please add support for Miningrigrentals.
