I am searching for new techniques to increase performance.
When I will find ways to increase perofmrnace I will publish
a new version.

Thanks, @Funakoshi

Now looks it's connecting well to the pools (actually --pers are sngemPoW and ZelProof).

But now I receive "nvmlInit failed".

(Win10 64bit 1803, 4x1080ti, Nvidia driver 416.16 if this help)





The miner needs the file nvml.dll
nvml stands for Nvidia Management library,
and it is used for querying the gpu temperature.
Put nvml.dll in the same directory containing funakoshiMiner.exe

The file nvml.dll is contained in my distribution.
If its version is incompatible with your system use
the file supplied by Nvidia runtime.

Latest releases of Funakoshi Miner support any pool
as long as the mined coin uses one of the following algorithm:
    Equihash<200,9> such as Zcash or
    Equihash<144,5> such as BitcoinGold

@Funakoshi

Can you support xsg.youmine.xyz:3033 and zel.youmine.xyz:3033 ?
I tried to test the miner, said pool is not yet supported.

Thanks

Im running 14 1070s, been using a different miner avg 43 sol/s mining BTG (90-100w/card).

Downloaded 4.10 to try it, and im getting low 30s with same OC settings.

missing something?

Why nobody informs about gtx 1080 ti speed?

Avg on GTX 1080 ti is 65 to 66 sol/s
Just checked


Without overclocking? TDP?

Funakoshi-Miner does not modify the clock or the fans speed.
The numbers are without OC.

Cuda code can't modify the clock of Nvidia Pascal devices (the gpu
internaly auto adjust the clock depending on temperature and electricity).

Only by using low-level Nvidia drivers an application can adjust the clock.
Funakoshi-Miner doesn't do that.

Afterburner do that for OC.

Hi Funakoshi,
I've a problem with your miner 4.10
I'm mining snowgem on my private pool server..
with ewbf it's okay..your miner quit at start with this log..

[2018-Sep-27 13:11:36] [MINER] Using pool: 54.37.xx.30
[2018-Sep-27 13:11:36] [MINER] Invalid host

ewbf .bat

miner --algo 144_5 --pers sngemPoW --server 54.37.xx.30 --port 3032 --user s1X415FzrMKwDxZC4133MH11CYD4sgJoXFB.chicco

funakoshi .bat

funakoshiMiner.exe --server 54.37.xx.30 --port 3032 --user s1X415FzrMKwDxZC4133MH11CYD4sgJoXFB.chicco -144 -pers sngemPoW -f log.txt

what's wrong?

Thanks
Alex


The miner expect a valid domain name as value of the --server argument
and you specified an IP address instead.

To overcome this you can map any valid domain name that you choose to your IP in the file:

    C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

For example Add the following line to the hosts file:

   54.37.xx.30  kukukukukuku.com

and than specify --server kukukukukuku.com
in the command-line.

Release v4.10 significantly improves the performance of equihash 144,5 of Funakoshi-Miner.
On GTX 1080 avg is 50 to 51 sol/s.

To learn more and to download the miner visit my github repository.

For equihash 144,5 performance has been improved, at
least for gtx 1080 on which Funakoshi-Miner is considerably
faster than EWBF. I haven't optimized for 1060 yet.

For equihash 200,9 Funakoshi-Miner is much faster on all devices.
Already told you that your miner is not faster then ewbf.
It was considerably slower. Now it it closer but still a little bit behind.
On 5*1080 ewbf ~ 245-250 your ~ 233-238
Good progress anyway.

On each GTX 1080 withoud OC
EWBF performance is ~45 sol/s (EWBF itself says that it has ~45 sol/s, and 45 * 5 = 225 much less than 245-250)
Funakoshi performance is ~49 sol/s (I measured myself this performance on my 1080, which has been confirmed by other users).

Anyone having GTX 1080 can measure the performance and see the results.

Thats why miner is faster on simpleming  than my Windows Smiley
And i saw lower power consuption than ewbf
6x1060
565W  average on EWBF and 165-170 sols
530W average on your miner and 154-162 sols
when i increase PL on funakoshi 156-165 sols



BTW im mining 144_5 will be nice when you speed up 1060 Smiley

When Chrome browser is running on your PC, it prevents the
miner from reaching its full speed (due to resources occupied
by Chrome on gpu). Thus close it before measuring mining speed.

The sol/s change all the time due to the statistical nature of the
equihash algorithm. You may get different results each minute. Each
job sent by the pool has different number of solutions in it. Thus
compare performance of different programs over time.

You should expect the reported sol/s to change about 10% to 20 % all the time.
This behaviour doesn't depend on the implementation, its in the core of equihash.
