Use this miner for a couple of weeks. Just wonder why this miner creates an unnecessary hidden folder in another drive. I use multiple miners since 2017, but this miner really feeling uncertain about something.

If I have 2 GPUs, I can create 1 bat file using 2 GPUs, this file name is: file2Gpu.bat. Or I can create 2 bat files with 1 GPU in each bat file, the file names are: file1stGpu.bat and file2ndGpu.bat.

If I run file1stGpu.bat and file2ndGpu.bat at the same time, do they mine more than running the file: file2Gpu.bat?

 

Ah ok,
Anycase the issue is to find out why gminer is stopping/crashing. The best way to this is from a command prompt is my take on it.
 

In windows running bat file, the running window will be closed if the program (here is miner) ends. Use Pause can keep the window open so you can see the error messages.

Why the pause? Try just this from command line:

miner.exe --algo ethash --server eu1.ethermine.org:4444 --user 0x9372ea857bf0902c631bbc2ca956ccadf752c986.rig
or you could use
miner.exe --algo ethash --server eu1.ethermine.org:5555 --user 0x9372ea857bf0902c631bbc2ca956ccadf752c986.rig

I rune the same line in Debian linux:
./miner --algo ethash --server eu1.ethermine.org:5555 --user MyWallet.rig
or as I prefer to use a config file
./miner --config ethermine.conf

Try this:

miner.exe --algo ethash --server eu1.ethermine.org:4444 --user 0x9372ea857bf0902c631bbc2ca956ccadf752c986 --worker rig
pause

i have this error 


miner.exe --algo ethash --server eu1.ethermine.org:4444 --user 0x9372ea857bf0902c631bbc2ca956ccadf752c986.rig
pause

Fixed the problems. I tried PhoemixMiner and it gave more details about the errors. I increased the Window Page Size to Min 20G and Max 30G, the problems solved. Now I can run 6 GPUs without any issues.

Can you post here your hardware of LHR card and your hashrate?
An overview of which GPU has which performance would be very nice

My mining rig uses AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Desktop Processor and the memory size is 8G. I was running 3 AMD 6600XT cards without any problems. Today I tried to add 3 more 6600XT, I got the errors:

21:35:28 GPU0: Generating DAG for epoch #447 [Single Buffer 4600 MB]
21:35:28 Error on GPU0: Failed to allocate memory buffer
21:35:28 Stopped Mining on GPU0
21:35:28 Miner terminated, watchdog will restart process after 10 seconds

I did some tests and found out that my rig can only run 3 cards, even if I add 1 more, it failed and got the errors.

Does anyone know the "Failed to allocate memory buffer" is because I only have 8G system memory? Or any other meaning?

Thanks

This is indeed strange.
I used wireshark to capture the outgoing packets.
gminer initiates a TCP handshake during startup to 81.4.110.148:8443 but besides that, nothing is being sent.
I've let it run for an hour or so.

Having said that, blocking this ip, everything works as usual for me.
Probably just a leftover by the devs.

edit: this is not new. check this one:

There is no --mvddc command for memory voltage ?

I've never used Gminer before but now I think I should give it a try but I don't have new AMD GPUs like 6800XT or 6600XT will AMD GPUs like RX Vega 56 cards work on Gminer? Anyone has experience using this card with Gminer? If yes how is the performance?

I am new and started mining two weeks ago. I have 2 AMD 6600 XT and 1 AMD 6700 XT and am using gminer v2.68.

At beginning I got screen display as following:

+---+-------+----+-----+-----------+------+----+-----+-----+-------------+
| ID   GPU   Temp  Fan     Speed    Shares Core  Mem  Power  Efficiency  |
+---+-------+----+-----+-----------+------+----+-----+-----+-------------+

+---+-------+----+-----+-----------+------+----+-----+-----+-------------+

But later, I am not sure what I changed and the Temp, Fan Speed, ..., info don't show up anymore. I got this:

+---+-------+----+---+-----------+------+----+---+-----+-----------+
| ID   GPU   Temp Fan    Speed    Shares Core Mem Power Efficiency |

|                     111.56 MH/s  2/0/0                           |

Here is my .bat file setting:

miner --algo ethash -- server us2.ethermine.org:4444 --user xxxxx --logfile log.txt --device 1 2 3 --cuda 0
pause

Can anyone give me a help?

Thanks

Hi,

I am just wondering, does it work only with RTX 3060 with chip GA106-300 or it can handle with RTX 3060 v2 with chip GA106-302 (this chip has a new "PCI Device ID") ?
As you probably know the "new" chip is not compatible with 470.05 driver.

v2.70
+ improved auto-tune for LHR GPUs, now miner speedup performance when GPU is steady
+ removed --lhr_tune1 / --lhr_tune2 parameters, use --lhr_tune to tune LHR GPUs (value range is -10 - 10, old parameters ignored for compatibility)
+ display current --lhr_tune value and current kernel in statistics table

If your PSU shuts down during startup you're already doing something wrong, like using a way undersized or terrible quality PSU. Have at least 10-20% overhead in terms of PSU capacity and never walk the line.

But if you really need launch serialization, have two (or more) executables one starting the first half of cards and the second instance starting the rest a bit later. Though I'd seriously look into the PSU issue.

Miner is good, but this version still has issues with clock and voltage control on RX6600, sometimes it fails to set them.

Also, apparently there is no such function like serialization in this miner unlike in Phoenix miner. Because of this PSU shutdowns my rig with mix of cards if all cards are started in gminer at once. I ended up using gminer for nvidia cards only and Phoenix miner with serialization enabled for RX6600 in the rig and only this combination works for me inconvenient.

great miner or maybe the best in my opinion. but i have feature request. it will be very great if i have option to modified the  monitoring data in telemetry server. basic info like resizing the table or removing some field to adjust it for small always on monitor.
or maybe using responsive table design to fit any resolution or add lite version with GPU,Temperature,Speed,Shares and Pool Hashrate. so i could merge multiply miner to just one page to monitor. and of course alert or system restart option in hashrate drop would be very much appreciated.
