Do you have to plug a screen or a headless hdmi plug to mine at full speed as with RX cards?
Thanks

Should only need to to plug a screen or a headless hdmi plug during boot with the amd beta.

What? I think I dont understand: your OS will work with AMD? I was saying that because I have AMD rigs running under windows and I have to plug a screen to get full speed.
I have ordered few 1060 to test your OS bug if you also support AMD it would be AMAZING !

Maybe a stupid question but how do you know what is the first GPU port on the mother board? is it always the top port (pci 1x)?

Thanks, and as the others said, if your OS work as advertised, you deserve more thant just a tip... Smiley

There is an amd version that supports rx series cards (see the OP), but it is very limited only supports fan speed (on OC implementation). 

With nvOC you don't need to attach anything to your rig; it can be completely headless. 

gpu0 is usually the first 16x (full slot) on the motherboard.

Really want a version that can do both cards in one rig since I have amd cards coming as well.

Was tinkering with individual fan speed, but got some error. I'm aware I've changed quite a bit in oneBash, so thought I made a mistake. But I saw cool-bits=24, I thought it should be 28? 4 (fan speed) + 8 (powerMizer) + 16 (overclocking). Anyway, with cool-bits=28 it worked for me.

for example:

CLAYMORE_ARGUMENTS="-dbg -1 -wd 1 -r 1 -epool stratum+tcp://eth-sg.dwarfpool.com:8008 -ewal $ETHADDR -esm 0 -epsw x -allpools 1 -mport"-3333

?

I think having this option is best especially for Claymore ETH which has extensive amount of switches

alternatively Claymore also uses config.txt so that could be a way out even for the other dual mining combinations

At this point you've got 15 GB worth of free space to work with IMO - it seems like most 16GB drives end up being just shy of the total size of the image.  Might as well consider 32GB drives to be the standard and put some more useful stuff on the image!

Moving to 32GB drives is an interesting thought.  It would (seemingly) open up a lot of new future avenues if there is no technical limitation I am ignorant to. 

Btw, I'm all setup and running with the first rig (with 2 cards until more come), fullzero.  Thanks for all the help.  I really can't say that enough.  I'm all in on nvOC.  Looking forward to what the future brings.

I was messing around with SSH last night and trying to get it to work on an android phone. Didn't have much success. I'm really just looking for a way to monitor the rig remotely. Is there a way to set up SSH to just view the screen, not make changes, from an android phone?

I think Teamviewer and/or VNC functionality would be useful in v0016, OP.  That would help out people like slackert that want to monitor their rigs via smartphone.  

I had Teamviewer installed on v0014, but it won't install on v0015.  I tried VNC on v0015 but receive a security error on the client end when trying to connect (need SSL libs installed maybe?).

At this point you've got 15 GB worth of free space to work with IMO - it seems like most 16GB drives end up being just shy of the total size of the image.  Might as well consider 32GB drives to be the standard and put some more useful stuff on the image!  Just a suggestion.

Hi fullzero

After last night's BTC bloodbath... I want to adjust my mining strategy  Shocked

I am positioning my Zotac 1070 minis and some of my entry level 1080ti reference/blower types for ETH mining.... and keep the big guns GA-Aorus and Zotac AMP Extremes for ZEC mining..... how do I modify the onebash for the following?

I copied this cmd string right out off smOS  Grin

-dbg -1  -wd 1 -r 1  -epool  stratum+tcp://eth-sg.dwarfpool.com:8008  -ewal $walletETH/$rigName -esm 0 -epsw x -allpools 1 -mport -3333

Thanks!

ensure you have set your:

ETH_ADDRESS

and

ETH_WORKER

then:

around line 925

Code:
if [ $COIN == "ETH" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/9.0/ethdcrminer64'
ETHADDR="$ETH_ADDRESS/$ETH_WORKER"

if [ $ETHERMINEdotORG == "YES" ]
then
ETHADDR="$ETH_ADDRESS.$ETH_WORKER"
fi

until $HCD -epool $ETH_POOL -ewal $ETHADDR -epsw x -mode 1
   do
   echo "FAILURE; reinit in 5" >&2
   sleep 5
done
fi

change this line:

Code:
until $HCD -epool $ETH_POOL -ewal $ETHADDR -epsw x -mode 1

to:

Code:
until $HCD -dbg -1 -wd 1 -r 1 -epool stratum+tcp://eth-sg.dwarfpool.com:8008 -ewal $ETHADDR -esm 0 -epsw x -allpools 1 -mport -3333

so the section looks like:
Code:
if [ $COIN == "ETH" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/9.0/ethdcrminer64'
ETHADDR="$ETH_ADDRESS/$ETH_WORKER"

if [ $ETHERMINEdotORG == "YES" ]
then
ETHADDR="$ETH_ADDRESS.$ETH_WORKER"
fi

until $HCD -dbg -1 -wd 1 -r 1 -epool stratum+tcp://eth-sg.dwarfpool.com:8008 -ewal $ETHADDR -esm 0 -epsw x -allpools 1 -mport -3333
   do
   echo "FAILURE; reinit in 5" >&2
   sleep 5
done
fi

Thanks fullzero you da man

btw, v9.5 seems funky on Dwarfpool so I prefer the tried and tested v9.4

is the Claymore ETH build v9.5 -- in nvOC v15 ?

It is not 9.5; I will add that version with a version selector in the next version. 

I am not sure if it is 9.4 or an earlier version; I believe it is 9.4.


Any plans for getting an epool.txt to ensure failover action?

I was thinking of just uploading my current failover pool list to miner app directory

I probably need to test how this actually is intended to work with Claymore. but:

I could have oneBash generate or modifiy one; and have say:

ETH_POOL_1
ETH_POOL_2
ETH_POOL_3

in the settings section; not sure how many fail over pools are generally used.

then later on:

echo -e "$ETH_POOL_1" >> /home/m1/9.0/ethdcrminer64/epools.txt
echo -e "$ETH_POOL_2" >> /home/m1/9.0/ethdcrminer64/epools.txt
echo -e "$ETH_POOL_3" >> /home/m1/9.0/ethdcrminer64/epools.txt


You can actually try this out

by adding this:

Code:
echo -e "$ETH_POOL_1" >> /home/m1/9.0/ethdcrminer64/epools.txt
echo -e "$ETH_POOL_2" >> /home/m1/9.0/ethdcrminer64/epools.txt
echo -e "$ETH_POOL_3" >> /home/m1/9.0/ethdcrminer64/epools.txt

above:

Code:
if [ $COIN == "ETH" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/9.0/ethdcrminer64'
ETHADDR="$ETH_ADDRESS/$ETH_WORKER"

if [ $ETHERMINEdotORG == "YES" ]
then
ETHADDR="$ETH_ADDRESS.$ETH_WORKER"
fi

until $HCD -dbg -1 -wd 1 -r 1 -epool stratum+tcp://eth-sg.dwarfpool.com:8008 -ewal $ETHADDR -esm 0 -epsw x -allpools 1 -mport -3333
   do
   echo "FAILURE; reinit in 5" >&2
   sleep 5
done
fi

so the area looks like:

Code:
echo -e "$ETH_POOL_1" >> /home/m1/9.0/ethdcrminer64/epools.txt
echo -e "$ETH_POOL_2" >> /home/m1/9.0/ethdcrminer64/epools.txt
echo -e "$ETH_POOL_3" >> /home/m1/9.0/ethdcrminer64/epools.txt

if [ $COIN == "ETH" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/9.0/ethdcrminer64'
ETHADDR="$ETH_ADDRESS/$ETH_WORKER"

if [ $ETHERMINEdotORG == "YES" ]
then
ETHADDR="$ETH_ADDRESS.$ETH_WORKER"
fi
until $HCD -dbg -1 -wd 1 -r 1 -epool stratum+tcp://eth-sg.dwarfpool.com:8008 -ewal $ETHADDR -esm 0 -epsw x -allpools 1 -mport -3333
   do
   echo "FAILURE; reinit in 5" >&2
   sleep 5
done
fi

then go up to the settings section:

Code:
ETH_WORKER="nvOC"
ETH_ADDRESS="0xe12bdd454997e443ec0cae6bebb6bb3c74242aae"
ETH_POOL="eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999"

and add:

Code:
ETH_POOL_1="eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999"
ETH_POOL_2="eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999"
ETH_POOL_3="eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999"

with your failover pools

I'll make these changes to the next version or oneBash version


just a brief update before I go to bed....

I have 2 identical 6xZotac-1070-Mini rigs so I have been playing around with the Windows and Claymore ETH v9.5, and also putting the changes in the onebash file as above in the other rig.

I have syntax error for the nvOC build... its going to be more complicated hardcoding to get Dwarpool/ESM 0 to work - maybe you could include in the onebash ETH template the various pools supporting ESM 0, 1, 2, 3 (Nicehash).... like what Claymore does to address all users. However, Nvidia being better in ZEC than ETH.... in my opinion, there are some merits to leverage the 30MH and beyond capabilities of the 1070s and 1080tis simply because there are no AMD cards in sight :-(

Hi,

Thanks for all your effort. Once I get everything up and running I hope there is somewhere I can donate.

I need some advice though. I'm trying to flash the image to a 16gb ADATA S102 flash drive (Capacity shows 15.81GB in HDD Raw Copy), but it fails at 99%. is there something I can do, or should I get a bigger flash?

You should get a bigger one. But at times it will still work, so you can test it. If the system boots and starts mining, all is ok. Be patient, booting (depending on number of cards) can take a couple of minutes. Make sure you've read the OP, connect a monitor to GPU0 (not the internal video card) to see the booting process. All is automated, so just wait and see Wink..

The image still works if capacity is over 15.8 as shown in tool. Less..it doesn't work. Fullzero explained it a bit better a few pages ago to me

Yea it doesn't complete the transfer and there's 1gb unallocated space. I'll just get a bigger flash.

Just did a small test with the new EWBF 0.3.4B miner and it is indeed 2% faster. Not sure if dev fee is fixed now, that would make the performance gain useless. This version does have a web statuspage to view some info about the miner.

I'll image a SSD using the USB to SATA adapter and it should work

One Q I have guys if you can explain :
- i know there are m2  - > Pci adapters for extra pci slots if the board has a slot to attach this m2 adapter
This USB - > 2m gives me the option to add a m2 - > PIC adapter without a slot on MB ?

Probably not, an M.2 slot is essentially a PCI-E slot. USB is not. I think the USB to M.2 emulates a PCI-E 1x (M.2) to be able to address the drive. The system recognises an USB drive.

What do you mean by "(only 6x OC)" for the z170/z270 boards? Can this OS support 7 cards with those boards?

and you say usb key only....does that mean an M.2 drive will not work? what size ssd is required?

edit: removed lazy question

I can now fully OC all cards; just need to rebuild and update the images. 

Also I just confirmed that if an ssd is imaged while connected to the build pc with a USB-to-sata adapter and then attached to a rig via the usb-to-sata adapter that it will also work fully with all the current nvOC images. 

Here are some usb-to-sata adapters:

Added on to the rig a bit today.  Went from 5 GPUs to 7.  All Gigabyte Founders Ed. cards, on an Asus Prime Z270-A, a Celeron 3930, and a Corsair HX1200i.

220 MH/sec ETH (31.42 MH/sec avg per GPU)

Core OC: 200
Mem OC: 1600

power: 120W cap per GPU, pulling 945W at the wall.



I'll begin building a 2nd rig in a couple of days.  First parts rolled in today (4 EVGA 1070s).  Mobo will be another Z270-A, and I have another HX1200i.  The idea will be to have another 7-GPU rig that pulls 950W.  

200/1600/120 PL ?
at 950watts with 7 x GPU = fantastic!

Have 2 miners on this and they seem to work fine for a few hours and then crash :

09:29:41:752   bf3e6740   watchdog - fminer thread hangs
09:29:41:752   bf3e6740   em hbt: 0, fm hbt: 130832,
09:29:41:752   bf3e6740   Miner thread hangs, need to restart miner!

Too much OC ?
Also ... the USB seems hot ... doesn't it get damaged in time ?

What GPUs and OC settings are you using; also what is the ambient tempature near the rig?

Also what kind of USB key are you using?

Would it help to use a ssd instead of usb ? For me it lags each time i open something..click something ..
Even if the miner is closed. I see there are links for ssd connection

You can use an ssd if you want; see

In my experience a fast USB is reasonably responsive.  The lexar ones I recommend are fast and cheap.

If they aren't fast enough for you: these are faster HQ very high speed USB keys are around $22:

Risers        - v07s - prob gona change them for ver 06c
USB           - Kingston Adata Traveler - 32gb USB 3.0  = > but I doubt they are because it takes ages to write the image .. like 7mbs

You should run a half percent full percent commision for your nvOC.  Every other man and his dog takes a cut dor their hard work and you provide better customer service support than most very expensive software packages!
That has been suggested before, but as fullzero explained he wants to have it further developed (easy update, remote management) before taking donations. But IMHO it's quite simple to send some appreciation: keep the CPUminer on the default account, and/or mine a couple of hours on his accounts with your rig.
