Topic: [ mining os ] nvoc - page 146. (Read 418546 times)

I have attached just 1 PSU (3000watt) and attached 13 regula GPUs - they are fine, but when I am attaching 14th GPU - mobo does not even post any messages and does not start at all.
And I am talking about *REGULAR* GPUs, not P106!
Did anybody start this mobo with 14 and more *REGULAR* GPUs ? NOT P106

Thank you

Of course it uses memory. It says right there that the kernel handles it which means kernel memory. So the kernel grows in size to accommodate the pipe contents.

Can you try enabling persistence mode


remove the loop at the end and try if this fixes the utilization after 3main exits

The bauty of named pipes... read here a brief explanation:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/449132/why-use-a-named-pipe-instead-of-a-file

unlike ramdisk, it doesn't consume memory nor it uses disk I/O

I added the nicehash stuff to the wtm autoswitch coins if someone is interested.

1. ADD
NICE_SKUNKHASH;NICE_EQUIHASH;NICE_ETHASH;NICE_NEOSCRYPT;NICE_X11GOST;NICE_CRYPTONIGHT;NICE_LYRA2REV2
to the WTM coins in 1bash.

2. in WTM_AUTO_SWITCH Change
# filter WTM coins by user selection only
for i in reversed(data):
    if i["tag"] not in includedCoins:
        data.remove(i)

to

# filter WTM coins by user selection only
for i in reversed(data):
    if i["tag"] == "NICEHASH":
       i["tag"] = "NICE_" + i["algorithm"].upper()

for i in reversed(data):
    if i["tag"] not in includedCoins:
       data.remove(i)

3. in PAPAMPI_WTM change the TOP_COIN= line to TOP_COIN=$(cat WTM_top_coin | grep : | sed 's/:[0-9]*//')

4. ADD

NICEHASH_BTC_ADDRESS="Your nicehash BTC address here"

and

#NICE_LYRA2REV2

NICE_LYRA2REV2_POOL="stratum+tcp://lyra2rev2.eu.nicehash.com:3347"

Hope this helps

Because i run a few rigs and all of them are different i moved out the OC settings from 1bash.

Save the code https://drive.google.com/open?id=1knH6GqiPDLKoURkmKGoXDtHJ4Agxi-nj as 1OC in your home folder.  

To use it place

source ~/1OC      #Overclock settings

under  

COIN=""

in 1bash and delete the OC stuff in 1bash.

Hope it is helpful.

If you read 1bash, the last part is only executed if damNmad_ALGO_SPECIFIC_OC=YES, default is NO. So you should be good by just setting plusCPU=YES and the XMR pool details.

Hope this helps.

Is anyone dual mining ZEC and XMR?  I see in 1bash where it is possible to enable mining XMR on the CPU.

I see this in 1bash:


and


Both of the above are pretty straight forward.

But then we have this:


Can I assume it will get ignored when I'm CPU mining XMR?

And last but not least, assuming I have a decent CPU to begin with, will dual mining ZEC (on GPU) and XMR on CPU, impact GPU mining performance and/or stability?

Agreed. I like to add that (as someone said a few days a go); we spend thousands $ in a rig but go minimal on data storage units.
About log files as I already said before there should not be problem to log as long as at least a HDD is being used.

Here is an example code (from kk003_telegram) to eliminate the "-L" flag when running scripts from screen, so may be some scripts that don't need a full log file can benefit of it.
Screen has other ways to do this like hardcopy.

This morning's fix for me was to not switch pools but rather to switch miners since DSTM's miner was affected by flypool. That kind of nutty behavior is an outlier even more so than a pool being down. That being said, anything is possible with nvOC if enough folks want it. Otherwise, it just adds more complexity and configuration to a system that already confounds some users.

Because of the problems this morning with all the pools i got an idea.

Is it possible to have a backup pool for every coin?. If pool 1 is not working switch to pool 2. If pool 2 is not working switch to pool 1 from the second coin in the wtm list and so on. It would save me 300 telegrams per hour ;-).

It seems like for some reason we cant download the file from google drive by wget
If any one has any idea how let me know please
I used this code to get the file:


So...
For now made some changes so the script do the job when you download it yourself

Download zm_0.5.4.tar.gz from HERE
Put it in Downloads folder , then run the new script again

V19-1.3 update zm 5_1 to 5_4 :

Download v19_1_3_update_zm_5_1_to_5_4
then run :

V19-1.4 update zm 5_3 to 5_4 :

Download v19_1_4_update_zm_5_3_to_5_4
then run :

DSTM ZCash/Equihash Miner

For those of you running this miner and noticed an outage last night, please see this:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.24279876

Apparently this miner uses the EU flypool to collect Dev fees so flypool being down caused this miner to stop mining last night. Be on the lookout for a new version with a fix for this single point of failure.

Thank you for this @papampi

I think there is something wrong with the .gz file ...
According to Linux:  "zm_0.5.4.tar.gz: HTML document, ASCII text, with very long lines"
So Linux is not seeing it as a tarball, but as a HTML document ..

My 2c....

My 2cents:

While the use of named pipes should certainly reduce disk IO and save folks USB sticks, the burden would be shifted to memory. While not a problem for me since all of my rigs happen to have at least 16G of RAM, I know of several users of nvOC that go minimalist with both CPU and memory. I think the current memory usage is around 2G for nvOC so these folks build rigs with only 4G of RAM. So, when you consider the price of RAM versus the price of a small SSD, disk is cheaper. I can buy a $33 60G SSD but 16G of RAM will cost me $130.

Iam using zec miner. Nevertheless I have solved the problem. I was just typing phrase that should starrt minnig and it has just started

I rolled a version of 3main without the loops this morning and tested it with poor results. It would appear that the miner runs but the watchdog kills it because of low utilization after the 70 second grace period. So, what I think is going on here is that we need 3main to continue to run not because of the mining screen but because of the OC and PL settings. When 3main ends, those go away, and the miner starts performing poorly. What I did to fix it was to add a single infinite loop at the end of 3main to make sure it never exits. So, at least we can clean up 3main substantially by removing the 30+ instances of that loop. My version of 3main is left with only 3 - two in the SALFTER sections (because I haven't bothered to figure out what is going on there) and the one I added back in at the end.

I get this error. Running code with putty/ssh

Are you using nvOC??

Hello.
I am very unfamiliar with Linux so I am sure that it will be a newbie question, but yesterday I installed the newest drivers but I can't start minning so I changed them to previous one and everything was okey. Unfortunately this morning I had issues with connecting to the flypool so i restart my rig and then I couldn't start minning again. I tried every combination of drivers and there is no possibiliy to make it mine Screen is showing only :

miner@miner~miner
There is no screen to be attached matching ethm.

miner is name of my rig. Have you got any idea what can I do to solve this problem? :/
