fullzero,

I am current building this rig and stretch her legs with your os.

MSI-Gaming-M5... yet another 7 x PCI slot potential ideal mining mobo
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130873


and 3 x GIGABYTE AORUS GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti 11G  

Can I use the Z170 Pro image or do you need to custom build an image for this mobo?

thanks

What are you guys see for Zotac Mini 1070 performance?  I heard it can do 460 Sol at 125W but I'm seeing Full Zero OS report 425-435 Sols per card which x 6 GPU is 2.58 to 2.6KH total yet on the Pool side it's only showing 2.2KH.  All of my other rigs reporting matching numbers but they're running SimpleOS or Windows.  I have 2 rigs having similar issues.

Hey fullzero

Thanks for the effort you are putting in here for us noobs. I am from windows environment and didn't struggle getting this going.

I just want to point out a typo in the bottom of you onebash file. I chose to mine ETH and SIA and after one day I couldn't understand why I don't see my worker. When you choose do DUAL_ETH_SIC , the code reads

if [ $COIN == "DUAL_ETH_SC" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/9.0/ethdcrminer64'
MUSICADDR="$ETH_ADDRESS/$ETH_WORKER"
SCADDR="$SC_ADDRESS/$SC_WORKER"
until $HCD -epool $ETH_POOL -ewal $ETHADDR -epsw x -allpools 1 -dpool $SC_POOL -dwal $SCADDR -dpsw x -dcoin sc
   do
   echo "FAILURE; reinit in 5" >&2
   sleep 5
done
fi

But I think the MUSICADDR needs to be ETHADDR. I see a few places where MUSICADDR is specfified in the wrong coin code. I know see my worker and all is looking ok. I just don't know where I mined to for in my opinion MUSICADDR was not set but I was mining to it and the pool was accepting shares.

Lastly, I am trying your onebash on a MSI Tomahawk Arctic H270, but the onebash only seems to overclock and set the fan speed of my first card. ? Any ideas what I can do to try get all my cards Overclocked, I have the ZOTAC 1060 AMP+ and I am only getting 16 HS in Eth.

Kind Regards

I must say this is a very nice user friendly OS. I stayed away from NVidia so far but after using this I am hooked, at least for ZEC mining and will try dual mining this weekend. OP was very helpful and answered my questions right away. A big thank you

Wow thanks so much for that! Great tip for sure and I did set up the account.

I only have 2 1070's for now and it's still running nicehash for now, but I'm going to keep reading and tinkering unitl I'm able to understand some more. I'm coming from a zero knowledge base but I'm chipping away slowly lol.

Thanks so much for your time, hopefully I will be able to set your nvOC OS up soon, I'm so anxious I can't wait lol.

fullzero man this is some nice work thank you for providing for the community!

i'm so new and don't understand linux or pretty much anything in this thread. i've been reading for about 6 hours a day for the past week and it's still hard for me to understand how to even set up claymore so i've just been using nicehash because it's simple unzip, add wallet address and press start but i want to try to learn what all the stuff in this thread means.

thanks again, going to keep trying to figure it all out.

Thank You!

Is the Siacoin mining available? Simple SC and Eth-SC dual mining?

I'm using nvOC v0014 on this motherboard, which is working flawlessly aside from the ethernet problem, but I've spent less than 30 minutes troubleshooting.
I currently have this rig running with four msi gaming x 1070s, and am using the USB drives that fullzero recommended, the 64gb one also works quite well.


@fullzero
I like to run ./2unix using screen so I can attach to the mining process from an ssh session. Do you know how I might be able to make this the default behaviour?  I've tried calling screen before dos2unix is called, but I get the error saying screen must be run from a terminal.  Is there an easy way to make the onebash startup script spawn into a terminal? or am I trying to reinvent the wheel here?  I'm pretty new to bash.

Thanks again for everything, fullzero.

I'm liking the os!
Took me awhile of editing onebash to work on nicehash
Other than that it's solid so far!
How can we limit the number of cores on CPU mining?

Mmmmm something todo tonight!!

i will test anything you throw at me
just pm me with anything you want me to test

OK thanks

hey fullzero have you made a amd distro of your os yet?
id like to give it a try

@machiavellious Which image did you use for that specific motherboard?

I do not know english
I use google translate.

I do as you say ...
But the machine is not opening ... freezes ...
There is amd card in the rig... I could not solve the problem.

probably after some heavy symbolic-linking and bootstrap-scripting, you could even recognize both cards as OpenCL devices from a single system.

Hi fullzero - appreciate your efforts in attempting  a unified build compatible for both platforms. Looks like its more challenging and taking more time. Like you said, perhaps one build each for NVIDIA and AMD, probably better idea - ie. AMD specific rig, vs NVIDIA specific rig. Thanks

when would a in house monitor page or app come into play with your os?
also how is the amdpro/nvidia side by side coming alone?
i would be interested in seeing this os run amd too

Always good to learn more linux.   

1:
nvOC is not a live boot usb; it is a full install with manually edited partitions.  I didn't use software to make or modify it.  I originally installed Ubuntu 16.04 on an ssd; then modified the partitions. 

2:
For two reasons.  The first is that different chipsets (mainly H81 and Z270) will require some changes to some of the system files before a single install will work on all smoothly.  The other is; I need to write a program or script to dynamically generate the xorg file at boot before all motherboard pcie indexing will be properly recognized automatically.  Because I am using X ( having a GUI vs running in console mode ) this is more complicated than it would be if I wasn't using X. 

Mostly I have been too busy to fix these problems.  I have a list of changes I want to make, and another that members have requested.  I have been implementing the member requests before my own; as I have had time to.  Next on the list is to try installing the AMDPRO GPU driver and see how well amd and nvidia can work together in 16.04 for citronick; and adding FTC support for alexvachon66.  Sometimes I know implementing member request will be quick and I will just do it in the next block of free time that I have; as was the case with MUSIC and ZCL support: most of the time this is not the case.
