(don't think i will be able to pm anyone for a very long time lol.. is there a post requirement to get out of the newbie bracket?)

What GPUs you use, i remember reading you had a couple of 1070s.

If I leave the urls unchanged in the text files of the batch does that mean I am mining what you are mining?

That got it going! Mining Xevan.

Thank you very much for your help.

No prob at all.

If you have a website you can put a text file onto to control it; you can choose your own algo by modifying the text files mentioned in the readme post above.

Presently xevan has been the most reliable the last few months for me.

NIST5 can be up and down; more down that up recently.

Ill soon update the original package when I can get to a location to upload and replace the main mega link quickly.

Downloaded the new miner file, verified that the file size in the folder is the same but still getting the same error when I try to run it.
(launches in cmd, not powershell aswell if that's relevant).

The filesize should be a bit smaller as it has several copies of a string removed. It looks like I #$@%#'d up again, so here it is for you to cut and paste into mminer.bat

This should be correct:

REM JK's nVidia zPool Miner "Manual" Batch V2.0
REM 2.0: Added auto-updates feature to batch; lots of changes
REM 1.2: Added failover algo selection URL

Specifically these type of powershell lines can't contain this text [ -version 2.0 ] in some windows 10 installs. Why, I have no clue:

Code:

powershell -version 2.0 -Command "(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('%VLOC%', 'version.txt')"

The updated file is in the above post. Tried to PM you, but the forum is not allowing me to; need to find out where the setting is to enable PM's from new members..... its a new feature.

Just replace mminer.bat with this new one, and it should be right as rain.

If any algos crash or do not work properly, tell me which algo and Ill do some quick testing. Since I have been only minig ~3 different algos the last several months, I havent tried some of the other ones with the new windows and nvidia drivers I am using.

ccminer180 has issues, so I replaced it in this new version a week ago. IF other algos offend, and im not available to push an update; you can change it yourself via these parameters:

Reference parameters:

Code:

SET A=ccminer180.exe
SET B=ccminerx11e.exe
SET C=ccminerlyra2.exe
SET D=ccminerlbry1.exe
SET E=ccminerlbry.exe
SET F=ccminer.exe
SET G=ccminerxevan.exe
SET H=ccminerskunk.exe
SET POOL=mine.zpool.ca
SET A01=x13
SET A02=x11
SET A03=qubit
SET A04=x15
SET A05=lyra2v2
SET A06=neoscrypt
SET A07=decred
SET A08=blakecoin
SET A09=c11
SET A10=quark
SET A11=groestl
SET A12=blake2s
SET A13=x14
SET A14=x17
SET A15=nist5
SET A16=skein
SET A17=sib
SET A18=x11evo
SET A19=lbry
SET A20=keccak
SET A21=myr-gr
SET A22=xevan
SET A23=skunk

and using the definitions, you can deduce which line is which algo, and which app is being used in each algo:
EXAMPLE:
IF %WHATTOMINE% == %A01% START "%DEV%:%A01%" /min %A% %DEV% -r 0 -a %A01% -o stratum+tcp://%A01%.%POOL%:3633 -u %ADDY% -p %PASS%,%WHATTOMINE%

%A01% is the algo; being X13
%A% is the miner app to use; being ccminer180.exe

Im going to be leaving the house for a while; hopefully all went well.

Don't run as admin; it will execute the batch as if it was in the windows/system32 folder..... not good as it tried to call files that are in its own directory.

Still getting this if I right click run as admin and if i manually execute through powershell.

looks like that change needs to happen.

Let me push a replacement .bat file for you to mega. Give me about 5-10 min.

Hi Jared,

Just downloaded your batch but the README.txt is empty.

Am I missing something or not looking in the right place?

It must have been you that emailed me.

Please ignore any of the extra info added to the email that seem like they may not apply to you. Ive been tossing words back and forth with a few people about it this morning.

README.txt:

Code:

Usage and configuration of this batch is simple.

You must edit the contents of these files to your desired configuration:

addy.txt:	This is the payout address you are using to get paid to.  My address as the example is a BTC address.
pot.txt:	This is the payout type you wish to select.  It's set to BTC in my example.
id.txt: 	This is your miner's rigname or identification string to be seen on the zpool.ca wallet site.
weburl1.txt:	This is the URL to the web location you will control the batch from.  In my example it's a publically usable
		URL if you wish to mine what the bulk of my machines are mining.  Just upload a plain text file to
		a web location wherein you can change the contents of the text file when you wish to change algos on 
		all of your miners.   Use separate text files for different groups of miners.  The sky is the limit.
weburl2.txt:	This is the failover for the first URL if it does not respond.  In my example it is the same as the
		main URL.


Storing these variables in text files allows the batch to freely update itself with new changes, yet remain configured to your
own mining settings instead of editing a batch file every update.

If you get a powershell error, let me know asap.

As long as I am still at home, ill make a revision and push it via the auto-update feature.... it's a simple change, but necessary on some machines I am just finding out.

Wasn't me that emailed but thank you for such a fast reply.

Yes getting this error :

Also my rig currently has 2x1080ti if that makes any difference or if there are any things you would recommend doing with your batch based on those GPUs.

Same here - yesterday was a total disaster with all sorts of problems plaguing me from the moment I got up until I finally called it quits to watch a movie around 8p and by the time JK told me about his script I was in no mood for it. Tongue

But the MrPlus fork of NemosMiner just crashed after spending another 8 hours stuck on X17 so why not try out some new and exciting ways to be vexed!?!

Here it is finally. This batch now has the ability to be updated remotely. Designed in Windows 10. Should work on Vista or later builds that have Powershell version >= 2.0.

I've hit a few speed bumps along the way but have finally been able to get a version that I can finally release that works as I expect it to.

Currently it's almost identical in function to the original manual farm control batch except for a few key points:

The miner package now has a name (mminer), and comes with all associated miner apps that I am presently using with it.
The batch can now update itself to a newly released version of the code; as well as download any needed/necessary miner applications required for the new updated version.
The batch now stores it's key variables in text files for ease of configuration and the ability to update the batch itself.

Please view README.txt in the application folder for more descriptions on the modifiable variables.

Future plans:
1) Incorporate the automatic algo switching functions into this batch. So if for instance you would set your requested algo to be "auto", the miner would do the regular stratum controlled mining like my original automatic batch file does. This is going to happen, but not started as of yet.
2) Add static variable for update URL for easier end-user updates; as well as disabling the update feature.
3) Get the project onto github for ease of file distribution as well as peace of mind. My old tripod URL will only handle soo much traffic, and I know the second I have to upload a 30+Mb file to pass onto who knows how many miners; things could get ugly quick. I have not 100% fully tested a lack of internet connection to the miner, or lost connection at different times of the script running aside from updating. Trying to figure out a reasonable amount of retires before starting over or simply bypassing the update features.
4) Add AMD Rx card support (Big thanks to phil for making this possible)
5) Combine all app variables into a single text file
6) Create auto-normalization script to only be run once; This will only be for the automatic miner batch once its incorporated. I am still considering making a template for each generation of card. Looking for more user input on this. My initial thoughts are to have the batch retrieve the hashrate results in a way that a 'grep' works in linux. Currently researching Windows alternatives.

As always, I am always willing to update to a newer and better miner app; just please provide me with a download link and the information about it (why its better, etc). If it seems like the right route to go, I will incorporate it into an update to mminer after I get it tested for stability at least on one of my machines.

*NOTE: If you are getting powershell errors and the miner never launches, download this updated mminer.bat, and replace the one in your mminer folder. Should fix it. If not, let me know. This hotfix will be applied to all future versions: https://mega.nz/#!gPIj2BxK!DrKgS92Z68bdTCybLKVf8084AbLRjFO8QOgiXlELe_Y

Known issues:
02/18/2018: Some ccminer variants included are not playing well with the new release of windows 10, or the new nvidia drivers. I am seeking more versatile replacements for these apps. Specifically ccminer180.exe. In my next update, it will probably be superseded by ccminerxevan.exe as it has been working for me.

Mminer version history:
2.0: Initial public release version.
1.9: Final test of update to test heuristics. *was successful*
1.5: First successful update
1.1: second test update version
1.0: Alpha version; initial code for auto-updates
