Today i have problem at 20+ rigs with:

#########################################
Checking connection to simplemining.net ...
Trying connect simplemining.net.... Trying 2/4
Trying connect simplemining.net.... Trying 3/4
Trying connect simplemining.net.... Trying 4/4

Some rigs are connected and mining, another ones have this connection problem. I see this in simplemining panel. I was tested internet connection, and LAN options at windows machine. All works fine. Pings etc are good too.

Logs from one rig:

1. 1st NH pool should be nearest to your miner. The failover pool should be the main pool (ie. Nicehash USA node). The USA node I think should be the "most protected" node for NH since, all their users will probably complain if the pool is down. So NH will have all the incentive in the world to keep that main node alive.

1b. In the case of "out of orders" - I doubt it. I see in order marketplace for Cryptonight now -- seems more buyers then sellers driving up selling price. IMHO, as long as ETH, ZEC or XMR is still top ranking in NH and also active in most crypto currency exchanges like Poloniex -- nothing to worry about. If "out of orders" really happens, assuming really no buyers then .... probably you need to change strategy to mine to a XMR pool (as your failover pool) or change coin entirely.

2. extranonce is a NH thing - so as long as rigs pointed to NH, I think sgminer by default turns it on. You should be able to see the extranonce status checked in NH worker site.

This is just my opinion and strategies. Welcome any other feedback.

Hi Citronick:
I see your suggested config on nicehash, but then i think about that time when nicehash get out of orders.

1.- what's your comments about that, is needed or not? (because im thinking on add a backup pool for that time)
2.- That backup need an extranonce off (I think), do you have an example (For command line off course, we are on simplemining )?

Thanks in Advance!

this perfect OS if you add some tool like Wattool to undervolt..
more save bill elect and more cooler temp for gpu..
amazing work tytan

I suppose this is happening on very little of your rigs ? perhaps one ?
OK anyway i will implement it.

In my case, sometimes the existing "reboot" command works -- sometimes no - and I have to physically press RESET button a few times.

So basically "RESET" (ie. just like pressing reset on ON/OFF switch) is needed to power cycle the rig and get the hung GPU to self init again.

This makes sens.
OK, but what about "reboot" option ? is is doesnt work ?

About managing SRR from dashboard.
Yep, ofcourse i have this in plans.

There are few different situations.
First of all, SRR needs to receive special packet telling which rig should it reboot\shutdown\poweron.
If you have ONLY ONE rig connected to SRR and its powered off.
There would be no way to send this packet from dashboard to your SRR. how ?
But if this rig is working you can sent thru it those commands - this i can and will implement really fast.

Another situation:
You have two rigs connected to SRR, one of it it poweredoff.
You want to power it on.
I think i will implement possibility to send any of command like ON/OFF/REBOOT to this powered off rig thru other rig that is in the same network
That way if you have like 8 rigs connected to SRR, only one is powered on, the rest is powered off.
Then you will be able to send thru this one online rig some commands to turn all other back on.

Yet another idea which i already discussed with my head SRR programmer.
The simplicity idea is to make pooling feature so every SRR could ask my simplemining.net site is there anything to do for him.
That way you could have all rigs powered off and still you could power them back on by dashboard.
This pooling feature is integrated from the beginning in my SimpleMining OS.
Thats why you can manage all rigs even if you are behind firewall.
So in some time (like after Extension Boards) i will reconsider making this pooling feature even for SRR

I know that the primary SRR function is to track "I am alive" from the rigs.... however;

Is it possible to have a button in this same window to perform "RESET NOW" or "FORCE RESET"?

Why I ask : sometimes, a GPU gets stuck resulting an underperforming rig and a physical reset or power cycle is mainly needed as last resort to refresh the rig and start initialization for all GPU upon boot up. Does this make sense?

UPDATE v1069:
- added SRR Agent config (now you can configure your rigs with my SimpleRigResetter)
Note. After configuring SRR Agent here, you can enable watchdog option in your SRR Device.

UPDATE v1068:
- updated claymore-zec-v12.1
note: you need to reload or reboot your rig to start using this version

FYI

Claymore ZEC v12.1 is out.

v12.1:

- slightly improved speed for some cards, about 410H/s on stock 390X, 450H/s on stock Nano, 290H/s on stock 280X, 300H/s on stock RX480.
- slightly improved stability. If it is still unstable for you, reduce "-i" value.
- fixed issue with wrong hashrate when "-li" or "-ttli" options enabled.

After you will set up rig, try using beta kernel button in dashboard.
It will increase speed and solve most problems

For quite some time... I have been mining XMR with Dwarfpool, Moneropool, Nanopool, and few more. It was all good back then, but after recent fork of Monero - pools have been changing their payout schedule, increased difficulty made pools struggle for blocks and payment became inconsistent.

I use Poloniex for my XMR address. By the time you receive and sell your XMRs to BTC, you will sent it to your own wallet, ie. Coinbase - so you can count the charges there.

Cryptonight algo has several more other coins not only Monero (XMR) like XDN and BIP.... so I figured that there must demand for Cryptonight hash in their buyer-seller marketplace.

In whattomine.com; it shows that NH Cryptonight yields same profitability as mining XMR direct. In fact, NH Cryptonight has higher profitability than mining ZEC directly -  take a look at whattomine.com today.

So effectively, if I mine at NH, I get BTC upfront and saves me all the charges that Poloniex charges me, and also avoid baby sitting XMR on when to sell off and other buy-low-sell-high risks.

Just my opinion though, if you want to keep XMR coins then this NH method will not work for you.

Afternote: When NH sends you your payment (now once a day to save on tx fees - before its was up to 4 times a day) - the charges is equivalent to 3% which I think it high but I am OK with this as long as they take the risks upfront and pay me for every shares submitted as per rental contract.

Thank you so much, I haven't mined XMR in some time and am interested in testing the speeds I would produce.  Why Nashhash versus mine direct to an exchange or something?  Just for ease of conversion etc?

sgminer-gm-nh-v5.5.5-7

Its the latest one that Tytanick added.

The other sgminer-gm or classic builds in smOS, works for all XMR pools but not for Nicehash - Cryptonight rental marketplace.

My cards are Sapphire RX480s (Refs), R9-Nanos, MSI-390s, Asus-290s, Asus-370s and 1 unit Pandaminer (RX-480Ms x8) - spread over 33 rigs.

Heliox/Eliovp low energy custom roms for 480s and Nanos. Stilt ROMS for 290s. 390s and 370s are stock ROMs.

With -ri 1008 and -w8 settings, all rigs are responding well at best optimal performance, intensity and temps (high 60s-low 70s C with decent fans RPMs)

Currently mining at Nicehash rental market, running sgminer-gm-5.5.5-7 settings below with failover pools turned on.

--no-submit-stale --kernel cryptonight -o cryptonight.hk.nicehash.com:3355 -u .$rigName -p x -o cryptonight.usa.nicehash.com:3355 -u .$rigName -p x --rawintensity 1008 -w 8 --text-only

Would love to use Claymore but... still no Linux v9.7 and also he has more work to do on RX optimisation. Also, in smOS, failover pools for Claymore miners still need to be figured out by Tytanick because this involves putting another epools.txt file into miners folder directory. Of course I will save a few more dollars not paying fees to Claymore if I use sgminer-gm  

What miner are you using for XMR in SMos Citronick?  I have mostly 4xx series cards.

I dont have this 100% fan issue in my 33 rigs - is it a GPU specific issue?

Or specific algo - mining ETH and ZEC will usually crank up temps and fans.

With XMR mining, even the Biostar Z170's 4xPCI slots mid-70s C and 65% fans.

yes  2 or 3 cards  of my 30  run super hot and the fans go to 100%  not sure what the issue is.

happens on my biostar z170 boards.

What 100% fan issue?

It could be a Windows + Crimson driver thing.

smOS is plug & mine Linux system on a USB stick - you should try it.

Thanks.


Does the 100% fan issue happen on SimpleOS?
