It is easier to break an atom than partialities AE

Quote from: hashmasta83 on February 18, 2018, 10:34:27 AM

I understand damNmad, but i'm not sure how I could have taken it any other way, and honestly i think his responses are ultimately useless as there was no need for it. The code does not work, even if you don't use algo specific OC, as it generates stratum authorization errors. Zpool only uses wallet address not username.workername. Also i had memory overflow issues due to intensity being too high, so i had to set this to "auto" intensity to prevent that error. It wasn't tested to confirm it works. My post was intended to take all those posts, corrections, and what worked for me into one place. As a quick guide to add a profitable coin to nvOC for other users.

So i still don't get the issue why posting was such a useless idea. I guess were saying its better to search several pages to piece together a puzzle of several corrections to figure out how to add a coin? If you guys want to keep this a dev only forum then fine, i'll signoff and keep to myself. I appreciate the dev's efforts, but that was pretty sh**ty. I just think he's looking for low hanging fruit because a user has "newbie" next to their username. If it weren't for engineers there would be no computers let alone hardware to even mine so don't get me started on engeneer technicians, he really has no clue.

For your information, all Yiimp pools i had tested take in charge the workername. Zpool too.
I don't know about difficulty at Zpool, but for example at alminer.net, you can add difficulty in your password like this -p d=512,c=XVG.

For your information again, i mined XVG for XVG coins, not for BTC like you. So, it's different way. At this moment, i post the adding code, XVG was prining 1500 SAToshis. Now its value about 600-700 SAT.

I will verify Myself if what i proposed for adding XVG algo like nicehash algos in WTM_SWITCHER is functionnal.

I think we should limitate discuss in the future. Better for both.

Hey @hashmasta83 , please don't take it in negative way @CryptAtomeTrader44 is very nice guy, he is also part of team, his efforts & work are really good. Infact, TBH the way he adds new coins is almost same to the way you did (topping them with all the wallets + pool info and any other important info). See this :

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.29894004

I think, he didn't mean disrespecting/trolling/isulting you by any means, its just the translation probably. Hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

And we all people come here with same intention, mining & help fellow miners, lets focus on it

Thank you for this "tuning" Damnmad.
Indeed, I did not try to disrespect @hashmasta83. It is true that I use google translator and sometimes translations of my words and my expressions are very bad.

Sorry not to speak English other than globbish (i'm not english native speaker). I try without a translator but I think it's even worse ...

The essential thing is to understand each other.

I'm confused by your response, as it sounds your making some rash assumptions on my part. I did use the search tool and found your posts. I wasn't asking for support, i was providing it to users because using the code you posted DID NOT WORK. Which is why i re-posted. But since your so smart...maybe you can figure out what is wrong with it and let us know

You know because us "engeneer" technician types need help

I've since gone back and corrected it to use Suprnova, and if you took the time to read my post (and not immediately go into troll mode) i did say that you need to disable Groestl on the WTM website. Which i also found using the search function. Look at the bigger picture buddy, don't try to knock people trying to help.

Happy trolling....mate

I had actually read the beginning of your post too quickly.

Nevertheless, what I posted was working, EXCEPT if you used the SPECIFIC ALGO OC that I no longer use because it has often bugged and ultimately did not apply overcloking settings except the last.

In addition, others had ALREADY corrected me before you. I dries that even if your post is welcome, it was not necessary because the addition had already been done. Including by papampi himself in the various updates he has posted since a few weeks already ... C.F. on Githib and his various post on this thread.

You wanted to do well, I do not blame you. So please do not insult me and gratify yourself with phrases like "I'm an engineer ..." It's useless.
It's just what I meant without insulting you.

With the help from the devs here I have the WTM switcher running pretty well.
Still working on some OC issues with my 1060s on a couple of algos but I'm getting support there as well.

I noticed that when a coin switch occurs the XMR cpu mining I have enabled stops, opens a new tab in guake and starts again.
Is there some way to stop this from happening?
I don't think I am losing a lot of hash but it does fill the screen with a lot of of unused tabs.
Thanks.

When damNmad algo OC is enabled and coin algo switches, wtm restart 3main so that new OC takes effect and when 3main restarts it restarts cpu miner, gpu miner, ...
I can make cpu miner to run in screen mode just like others so it won't open new guake tab on every restart for nvOC v19-2.1

That sounds like a great solution Papampi. Thanks for the support.

Actually we have 2 options here

Option 1: Dont restart cpu miner with every 3main restart
Option 2: Restart cpuminer with every 3main restart but run it in screen and only show log in guake tab to prevent multiple tabs.

Question is, do we need cpuminer restart with every 3main restart?
So if watchdog grab gpu error or wtm switcher switches and restart 3main, cpuminer keeps going and dont get restarted.
If cpuminer restart not needed we can set it not to restart if its already running.

I'm not using cpuminer.
So cpu miner users please let me know which one is better?

I've never had a failure with the cpu miner so I'm not sure what the ramifications of it not restarting with 3main would be.
I would say as a first try just not restart it or Option 1.
For me, running the cpu miner is just something for my multi-core processors can run to supplement the gpus installed.
I have just over 100 threads running XMR. It might be enough to pay for the gpu electricity use.

I have one of the H110's and am real sorry I got it. It has a very bad habit of lock up. I have currently 5 machines on the network and when it does, all of them go down. I am in the process of replacing it with a pair of H81 even tho they are older and only 6 slot. The one I have now (H81) is a rock.

@Pampi
Was wanting to ask if NVOC 2.0 will auto update or do I have to do it manual? I have had to instances now of machines locking up and it seems due to the update of drivers. That means that it is still updating but I have it all shut off. Does NVIDIA check on that side of the coin? Once I do a manual update and restart, all is good.

I dont think the lock ups are because of the boards, I had a rig which was causing my entire network goes to lock up when it was freezing.
I changed mobo, risers, cards and it still was doing it, I found out that a 6 pin to sata cable that was powering my risers was faulty and was causing all the problems.

nvOC has no auto update after v19-1.4, you should manually update ubuntu OS or nvOC scripts and miners.
Remember to stop miner, watchdog, tempcontrol ,... before updating.

Hi all,

Trying to download nvOC-V0019-2.0.img.tar.gz however every copy I've got (direct and gdrive) have given an error from 7zip saying the file must be broken when I try to extract it.

Any issues or a good source to get it from?

I would suggest you to verify checksum of the downloaded zip and use winrar to extract it.

Please check this page :

https://nvoc-mining-os.com/downloads/download-page-nvidea/

Thanks, Powershell is reporting the checksum is wrong. I've tried downloading about 10 times using each different source, using different downloader programs (including just straight through Chrome) and can't get anything that will extract, except for nvOC_v0019.zip. I've tried 7zip and Winrar to extract, but the incorrect checksums kind of mean the archive program doesn't matter at this point.

PS C:\Users\maclean\Downloads\Compressed> Get-FileHash .\nvOC-V0019-2.0.img.tar.gz -Algorithm SHA256

Algorithm Hash Path
--------- ---- ----
SHA256 BA8A952ABCBD5561630B6F7DBAB57FA09C3221B664B9F3F8D55F050C65FD1C0B C:\Users\maclean\Downloads\Co...

PS C:\Users\maclean\Downloads\Compressed>

That's odd!!

Are you on windows 10? Can you try this please :

Quote

How to check the SHA256 hash code using windows command prompt (you can also check other hashing algorithm codes too) :

* Open command prompt, navigate to the directory where you have the target file

* Type this command & wait for a while to generate the hash (does take some time)

certUtil -hashfile fileToCheck SHA256

Have tried downloading again. NinjaDownloader reports it has downloaded correctly.

Running that command has given me 42dc4a51037e50a658e3717e020bf178f76d6113a3cc27e01ce08c186126dacc I've got the same broken file error in 7zip and winrar is saying checksum error.

Downloading with Chrome never seems to complete, drops out around 2G mostly. I'm on 40/100 fibre Internet so shouldn't be that.

Could you try this link : http://dl.free.fr/getfile.pl?file=/kvBjGvPn/nvOC-V0019-2.0-10GB_Auto_Expand.zip
It's last shrinked image from papampi last image upload.

Or

This one : http://dl.free.fr/getfile.pl?file=/AWltP5uD/nvOC_v0019-2.0.zip

I have two rigs both mining ZCL on Supernova and this has happened twice that both rigs will freeze within a minute of eachother. I saw the first time while being connected via teamviewer that the server "disconnects" briefly within the miner and that watchdog will then re-start the 3main, get hung up and freeze. I assume this is what happened again. I would point to a hardware issue, but both separately going down at the same time with no telegram errors? Too much of a coincidence. I don't have any of the cards overclocked at this point, both systems were up for almost two days before the last freeze.

This keeps happening over and over again. I am going to try a new mining pool, but I've liked SuperNova. I have zero issues with it on my personal desktop with two 1070 Ti's on windows and using Awesome Miner.

Any thoughts would be great.

Hello urnzwy! Do you have Asrock H110 Pro Btc+ motherboard?
I have two rigs with this motherboard. When one freezes the other one looses the internet connection.

But you omise to mention that Groestl algo must be inactivated if you are using WTM switch.

Because you seem to mine XVG, and because you are engeneer could you try this python WTM_SWITCHER script discribed in my post:

Hey guys, I lurk and have been poking around but I don't know python so I haven't been able to look at it as much as I would like.

Anywho, I have a development/feature idea and feel free to relocate to somewhere else if they are supposed to go somewhere else but it is for papampi's wtm auto switcher. It works well, but I was thinking about something that could possibly help in certain situations.

Let me know if I am being an idiot and/or overthinking this.

I timed the switch between coins when a new coin is found and used that to extrapolate from the set switching interval (default 3min) that in order to overcome switching losses from downtime that I would need to set the minimum difference to 9% (up from 7 default). Now the situation I just observed casually was ZCL holding at about 7.5% greater profit than the current coin for roughly 15 minutes (5 checks) before going to 15% higher and the rig actually switched. My idea would be a degrading minimum switching percentage kinda like what miningpoolhub does with their switching algo. The reasoning behind it is that with every subsequent check where the coin doesn't switch would actually lead to a lower minimum difference required to overcome those switching losses. You want the switching minimum to be high in the beginning so you aren't chasing a 7.5% increase with a 9% loss from switching. In my case. the actual 3-minute switching loss would be 8.4 initially and drops to 4.7% by switching every 6 minutes. 3.1 every 9, and on and on. Would it be hard to implement setting an initial minimum switching and then set a degrading percentage that it goes down by every 3 minutes until it goes to a lower minimum switching level? In my case, i would like after a few iterations of being on the same coin that it would go down to say 1% difference and would switch easily. Then start back over at the upper minimum switching percentage and degrade all over again.

Thanks guys,

Ryansgt

I think I understand what you want to do, but your explanation is too vague.

I will try to summarize more simply:
you want a fluctuant checking time for the script that will be modified according to additional and / or specific parameters of each coins you choose ?

Could you explain more clearly through three examples of Coins please?
For example, imagine a scenario that fluctuates between ETH, ZEN, GBX or FTC and XVG. Describe each step separately as a list.

I am not a python developer, and unfortunately, I think that papampi is not very comfortable with this language either. Papampi forked Scott Alfter's MPH script to use Whatomine.com.
But maybe users will know how to give you what you want.

Actually wtm switcher started as a fork of damNmad smartminer, but in time it totally changed to a new code with help of many users.

It is easier to break an atom than partialities AE

Quote from: ?? on ??

Hey guys, I lurk and have been poking around but I don't know python so I haven't been able to look at it as much as I would like.

Anywho, I have a development/feature idea and feel free to relocate to somewhere else if they are supposed to go somewhere else but it is for papampi's wtm auto switcher. It works well, but I was thinking about something that could possibly help in certain situations.

Let me know if I am being an idiot and/or overthinking this.

I timed the switch between coins when a new coin is found and used that to extrapolate from the set switching interval (default 3min) that in order to overcome switching losses from downtime that I would need to set the minimum difference to 9% (up from 7 default). Now the situation I just observed casually was ZCL holding at about 7.5% greater profit than the current coin for roughly 15 minutes (5 checks) before going to 15% higher and the rig actually switched. My idea would be a degrading minimum switching percentage kinda like what miningpoolhub does with their switching algo. The reasoning behind it is that with every subsequent check where the coin doesn't switch would actually lead to a lower minimum difference required to overcome those switching losses. You want the switching minimum to be high in the beginning so you aren't chasing a 7.5% increase with a 9% loss from switching. In my case. the actual 3-minute switching loss would be 8.4 initially and drops to 4.7% by switching every 6 minutes. 3.1 every 9, and on and on. Would it be hard to implement setting an initial minimum switching and then set a degrading percentage that it goes down by every 3 minutes until it goes to a lower minimum switching level? In my case, i would like after a few iterations of being on the same coin that it would go down to say 1% difference and would switch easily. Then start back over at the upper minimum switching percentage and degrade all over again.

Thanks guys,

I think I understand what you want to do, but your explanation is too vague.

I will try to summarize more simply:
you want a fluctuant checking time for the script that will be modified according to additional and / or specific parameters of each coins you choose ?

Could you explain more clearly through three examples of Coins please?
For example, imagine a scenario that fluctuates between ETH, ZEN, GBX or FTC and XVG. Describe each step separately as a list.

I am not a python developer, and unfortunately, I think that papampi is not very comfortable with this language either. Papampi forked Scott Alfter's MPH script to use Whatomine.com.
But maybe users will know how to give you what you want.

I've noticed recently Verge (Lyra2rev2 algo) XVG coin shooting up to three times the profit of other coins on WTM auto switcher by papampi so i wanted to provide this short guide to add XVG coin to nvOC. I am using v0019-2.0, so i apologize if it's already included in the latest build.

Firstly, when you setup WTM you must uncheck the "Groestl" algo, as Verge coin allows for multiple algo mining. WTM will only report out current profits for Groestl algo and not Lyra2rev2, which we want to mine. If you don't uncheck Groestl algo, XVG coin will always be at the bottom of the WTM profit checking list and will never auto switch. Once you have your WTM configured correctly, hit calculate, and follow the instructions in 1bash to add it (add in .json after coins). Then add "XVG" to the list of coins for WTM to profit check.

Add "XVG" to list of coins for WTM to profit check (example below)

Code:

WTM_AUTO_SWITCH_COINS="ZEC;ZEN;ZCL;ETH;ETC;MONA;VTC;ZCOIN;BTG;FTC;XVG;XMR" ### coins to check profit or make the switch with format "ZEC;ETH;ETC;XMR"

Next add the following code to 1bash

Code:

# XVG ## No Need to add stratum+tcp:// to server address
XVG_WORKER="$WORKERNAME"
XVG_ADDRESS="BTC wallet address"
XVG_POOL="lyra2v2.mine.zpool.ca"
XVG_PORT="4533"
XVG_INTENSITY="0"

Add "-o $COIN == XVG" to this portion of code if you are using algo specific OC settings (these are my settings for GTX 1070)

Code:

# lyra2vRev2
  if [ $COIN == "MONA" -o $COIN == "VTC" -o $COIN == "XVG" ]
  then
   ALGORITHM="LYRA2REV2"
   POWERLIMIT_WATTS=130
   __CORE_OVERCLOCK=125
   MEMORY_OVERCLOCK=600
  fi

Add the following code to 0miner

Code:

if [ $COIN == "XVG" ]
then
  HCD='/home/m1/ASccminer/ccminer'
  ADDR="$XVG_ADDRESS"
  screen -dmSL miner $HCD -a lyra2v2 -o stratum+tcp://$XVG_POOL:$XVG_PORT -u $ADDR -p c=XVG -i $XVG_INTENSITY
fi

I confirmed this works on Zpool as i was generating BTC (Zpool converts mined coins to BTC).

Thanks for such nice illustration on how to add this coin, I guess it was probably already there but with different algo, am not sure though.

Your presentation is pushing me to ask you if you can write up some tutorials on how to do things on nvOC (only if you up for it)

Let me know if you are interested.

You can contact PM me here or on our official discord channel : https://discord.gg/8YDFEvY

Honestly damNmad you read my mind. I like doing this kind of stuff (i'm an engineer) and i'm anal as hell about everything. I'd like to put together a post on hardware setups for mining rigs and converting a trio rig to a 6 x card rig (this is what i did) as that was lacking information. I'd like to do some testing to prove out some of my theories on things. But let me see what i can put together in about a week or so regarding adding coins.

Also fyi, i revised the post you quoted because I learned later that Zpool doesn't actually mine that specific coin (XVG), it mines a group of Lrya2rev2 algo coins. So i switched to suprnova pool and revised to code to utilize that server instead as it mines that coin directly.

I'm not an engeneer and i do this before ...Just a technician that read all bash and python scripts. If users takes a little time to read the scripts like you we could reduce our support time.

Because you seem to mine XVG, and because you are engeneer could you try this python WTM_SWITCHER script discribed in my post:

For Zpool problem, it was quote here :
