Please, explain me what does

P106_100_FULL_HEADLESS_MODE="YES/NO"

mean?

explain please also when should I use YES and when NO

Thank you in advance,
respectfully,
Sergey

Headless means no desktop

You only need to worry about that option if you are using P106-100 GPU's

If you are not using them then set it to 'NO'

Thank you, got that

And i use P106-100 on my rigs

What does this option stands for?

Is there any OC list for 1060 and 1070 gpus? Seems to me that the recommendations are deleted Undecided

My 13 1060 gpu rig has:
10 gpus mc=1700, cc=-100
3 gpus mc=1500, cc=-100

I am mining ZEC on Nanopool. I would like to add my email address as they outline here so that I can increase my minimum payout limit so as to not get so many small transactions.

Code:

 Make sure config.txt file looks like this(replace eu1 with nearest server):

-zpool ssl://zec-eu1.nanopool.org:6633
-zwal YOUR_WALLET.YOUR_WORKER_NAME/EMAIL
-zpsw z
-ftime 1
Where:

YOUR_ETH/ETC_ADDRESS - your valid ZCash address
YOUR_WORKER - simple short worker name (like worker01). Optional.
YOUR_EMAIL - your email address for notifications. Optional.
Don`t forget to set wallet, worker and email address to correct values.

In 1bash I see this:

Code:

ZEC_WORKER="$WORKERNAME"
ZEC_ADDRESS="t1JzsnP1qRWqt1Tpiai7uZQ1r461yRreNdy"
ZEC_POOL="zec-us-east1.nanopool.org"
ZEC_PORT="6666"
EWBF_VERSION="3_4"  # choose 3_3  or  3_4

Should I just change the ZEC_WORKER to?

Code:

ZEC_WORKER="machine1/[email protected]"

A Sempron might have difficulty with additional GPUs and some ALGOs; I previously used all Sempron's with BTC / LTC gpu rigs: they were solid for BTC, but had some issues with LTC with more than 4x GPUs. I haven't used one in a long time, so I have no idea how they fair with current algos.

Hmm interesting you brought that up. I use the same board on my personal computer. But I upgraded it for gaming to a 6 core processor and doubled my ram. Anyway, I run 3 gpu no problems on Windows 10. But with the board with the Sempron I could never get it to install past 3 gpu on Windows. And I am also having some freezing problems in Ubuntu during mining. Thinking maybe I should upgrade...

As far as I know K10 Amds use AGP-Gart for their IOMMU. You might get problems on these system because you're running out of DMA-Space, try using 'iommu=memapper=4' (maybe 5) as your boot-parameter, you can look up more details in the kernel documentation.

genoil does not report current hashrate to pool. i'm mining etc on nanopool.

is there a way to make it report the hashrate as it would make checking on the rig much easier. with varying hashrates it's difficult to tell whether all gpus are running.

Anone managed to start NVOC version 19 with built-in VGA? I heared this version finally have a fix, for using on rigs built on GP106-100 GPUs

As I can see on the first page, it is still advised to start without monitor attached if you have only p106 in your rig.

I have tried to start full headless, with pure p106 mode enabled, but all I get are errors in logs, mining process doesn't start. Does anyone know why this could happen?

(I have asus z270-p with 8 p106-100, screen was attached only to modify bios settings as described for z270-a, usb stick was never attached with monitor at the same time)

how do you scroll up in the guake terminal?

Assuming that you're viewing a screen session in that window, Ctrl-A [ lets you begin scrolling back with the arrow keys. Pressing Enter a couple of times will drop out of scrollback.

If you're not using screen, I don't know...is there a scrollbar? I've always run my rigs headless over ssh and I don't use Ubuntu elsewhere, so I'm not too familiar with its desktop.

"the root password for nvOC is:

miner1"

Ok, so does this mean all my worker passwords need to be this? Maybe this is why miningpoolhub works which doesn't check passwords for me but others don't.

NO.

Your worker password in miningpoolhub doesn't matter but I would suggest you to use 'x'.

Your mininpoolhub login name is the ADDRESS name; for eg ETH_ADDRESS = 'your login name'

Your worker in miningpool hub is WORKER name; for eg ETH_WORKER = 'your worker name'

99% passwords are defaulted to 'x' in 3main, but miningpoolhub (many other pools too) doesn't care about the password as long as you have the loginName & worker name (login.worker) is good.

what about suprnova? that's the pool i'm having trouble with, not miningpoolhub.

Sorry, that's what I've tried to say, same thing applies to suprnova too, I set my worker's password to 'x' on portal and ADDRESS to login name and WORKER to worker name.

The thing it might be failing where you join both the address and worker name, which forms like this 'loginName.workerName', make sure you have '.' not '/'.

There is an option

Code:

DOT_POOL_FORMAT_or_FORWARD_SLASH_POOL_FORMAT="DOT"    # DOT  or  SLASH

is set to 'DOT'

Try the above if it doesn't work, tell me the coin name you are trying to mine, I can help you with that.

Hi

Is it possible to run 12 Cards on this OS? and what is the Max what you could run without issues on Linux and Windows?

Cheers

I believe you can run more than 12 cards for sure, read some where that this OS (Linux) supports up to 15 (possibly), but at the moment supports 13 for sure.

This is Ubuntu (16.x) based OS not Windows!

how do you scroll up in the guake terminal?

I get to the point where I'm accessing the miner however I can't navigate that window, is there no option for that

Also how can I access logs to help diagnose a problem?

I just wrote how to enable screen log 4 posts before
Here
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.21529172

What is your problem exactly ?
Miner log dont give so much information and a lot verbose at my think.
If u expect some hardware failure, just do a "tail -f /var/log/kern.log"
If u want a log file to keep info just do "tail -f /var/log/kern.log >> kernlog"
Is a clean log file, after bot, launch this command you will grab every failure from GPU and details on it.

U can use alias so dont have to type every time, edit .bashrc, go to the end and add (this mine)

Code:

#Home Alias

alias Nwatch='watch -n 1 nvidia-smi'
alias Kwatch='tail -f /var/log/kern.log'
alias LOG "tail -f /var/log/kern.log >> kernlog"
alias GPUstate='export DISPLAY=:0 && nvidia-settings -q /GPUCurrentClockFreqsString'
alias MReset='pkill -e miner && bash 3main &'
alias HardReset='sudo reboot'

What could cause my OS/miner to freeze? I got it running but can't stay up for long. I'm sure my OC settings are fine because I started very low.

It looks like there are lots of possible reasons for a freeze:
1) overclock,
2) bad riser,
3) adapter cable to the riser,
4) power cable to the riser,
5) bad GPU,
6) PCIe slots on the motherboard are touching

I am not sure how to diagnose which one ...

Could a slow processor or the fact I'm running the OS on a slower USB stick?

Anyway, I'm going to try to put on a SSD and will report back if that works.
