Benchmarking with mkxminer gives wrong localspeeds, it summorize for only one card and not multiple on my AMD rig.

Known problem?

I think regression in wrapper code from adding lyclMiner. I will check it tomorrow.

In any case, lyclMiner should give significantly better hashrate, so if it works for you, mkxMiner is less important )

Alright, i will give this miner a shot. there are so many out nowdays ive started to loose track.

fixed mkxMiner for multi-gpu in last commit

You seem a good guy working on your software so, I decided to give Forager a try:

I have some rigs, always mixed AMD&Nvidia mining in the past Neoscrypt with AMD during the day, CN during the night , and using Nemos miner for NVidia

Download latest release 1.8

Script is saying that there is a new version 1.7z available... not sure if its updated( or olddated in this case)
automaticly or not

I selected ahashpool&zergpool cutting the algos in half, exclusing all Asic related

Sw is saying 15 miner 100 combination.

but

MKXminer can't be downloaded ( I have a 100 MB Adsl)strange..

lyclMiner ? I haven't seen any batch ,json ps1 file related to it so, may be its the

it have taken 2 hour to download and haven't finished yet.

There is a quick windows popup from time to time but I think we are stuck in one of the CCminer releases Tpruvot I think. I suspect something on Gitub ?

Isn't much easier to at least download one AMD and one Nvidia sw and start benchmarking ?
meanwhile downloading other?

I will keep tryng for another hour, then I will stop and I will try again on monday

latest is 18.07 (yes, i changed version numbering)

If you have problems downloading specific miner, get the url from the miner json file, download it manually and put in Forager/Downloads folder

thx for the kill process update.

Does anyone here actually use this with NVidia miners? I'm getting crashes and hard resets all over the place.

My list of excluded miners is growing (every time a miner crashes the system I remove it):

Code:

ExcludeMiners_NVIDIA = N-hsrminer_hsr*,N-NsCudaMiner*,N-CryptoDredge*,N-CcminerSTS*,N-CcminerDumax*,N-Prospector*,N-CcminerEnemy*,N-SuprMinerSP*

There are definitely NVIDIA users.
I cannot test NVIDIA miners myself due to lack of hardware, but I know it works for many users.

If a miner fails to run on your system, in most cases its a driver/overclock issues or hardware incompatibility.
Try running the problematic miners yourself to verify the issue. The downloaded miners are in the "Bin" folder
If they fail when you run them yourself, there isn't much I can help. You can try requesting help in the relevant miner topic.

It's also possible that the parameters I use to start the miners are incorrect or incomplete.
You can check the exact parameters used to launch the miners in the log file and test them.
If you find a configuration error, I will gladly fix it.

hi,

with latest code the endless error loop still occurs:

Code:

Stop-Process : Cannot stop process "Idle (0)" because of the following error: Access is denied
At C:\miner\Forager\Include.ps1:128 char:17
+ Stop-Process -InputObject $Process -Force
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : CloseError: (System.Diagnostics.Process (Idle):Process) [Stop-Process], ProcessCommandException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotStopProcess,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.StopProcessCommand

Stop-Process : Cannot stop process "Idle (0)" because of the following error: Access is denied

last useful entries in logfile are

Code:

11:03:20.88 Info N-CcminerEnemy-1.12/X17/X17 with Power Limit 0 (id 34-0) for group NVIDIA is the best combination for device group, last was N-SuprMinerSP-4.0a/X16r/X16r with Power Limit 0 (id 84-0) for group NVIDIA
11:03:20.88 Info Killing in 0 sec. N-SuprMinerSP-4.0a/X16r/X16r with Power Limit 0 (id 84-0) for group NVIDIA with system process id 0

this happens after some time during the benchmarking which really takes forever and repeats on each restart since there are so many miners that fail -- most fail right at startup (close immedately after being started), and the script usually catches the failing miner -- but before the endless error loop happens it apparently doesn't detect that the miner process is not running, just sits there with 0% load until the interval ends and then goes into the loop described above.

I will fix the "Cannot stop process" error

Full log would be useful to identify why do we even get to such state, can you please post it as well?

update:
Changed process launch and process kill logic to better handle errors. Available in last git repo commit

hi,

Just tried the latest Forager code (cloned from github), as MegaMiner seems abandoned.. there are, however, some issues.

There are a couple error messages repeated before every new interval:

Code:

Cannot index into a null array.
At C:\miner\Forager\Include.ps1:425 char:17
+ ... $PnpDeviceProperties = ($PnpDevices | Where-Object {$Vend ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NullArray

Doesn't seem to cause any problems, though.

However on two out of three systems I tested, one hard crashes, and one goes into an endless error loop, something like "cannot kill process "IDLE". Unfortunately the error is not written into the log, have to catch and copy it again.

This is all on Nvidia rigs where MegaMiner has been running fine and stable for many months.

I'll take a look. I believe the code throwing the error is redundant now

Fixed in latest commit

Is there a way to disable specific algos for specific pools.

reason is that when dual mining with claymore, zpool and ahash will show hi reject rates (50%) for keccak, but nicehash will be ok.

thanks.

I will add such option, I also noticed this behavior

Added now in latest commit

thanks... testing it now... works great. i've been able to eliminate keccak from ahash,blazepool, and zpool. keccak works fine on nicehash and zergpool.

It forces me to redownload vcredistx86 for every benchmark and it makes it annoying to benchmark because i have to sit there the whole time and wait for it to ask me to redownload/repair vcredist86, then press "no" to skipit so I can continue benchmarking. Please fix

Solved in last commits

And I hope you can provide something so I can check the issue you are experiencing.
Send me the logs, even if they don't show the errors, maybe I'll discover something since I know how it should work

Please add the Wild Keccak algo support

Wild Keccak is now supported (on AMD and CPU), but disabled by default

Due to high initialization time (downloading/updating scratchpad), algo switching to Wild Keccak is counter productive. Only use it if you manually mine this algo

lyclMiner version 0.1.5 released Amd Lyra2v2 miner.

https://github.com/CryptoGraphics/lyclMiner/releases

updated, hopefully detection will work better now

define devices manually in pattern file if it doesnt work

there was an error in the config file when i tried to run and errored out.

If i manually put the devices in the pattern, then it worked

fyi... you didn't create a lyclMiner-0.1.5.json file..

all created and updated now )
