I've noticed that the miner consumes continiuesly all avaliable memory and than when it ends, the system hangs.
I didn't notice no memory leak. Code:

2.038g RES seems rather high usage. Is that from the beginning like that? What cards? What driver?

If you have stability problems please make sure that the cards do not overheat. Try to reduce the mem/core clocks.
I was running stock clocks. Card temps are 40-55c.Quote
All that the CPU does is verify the hash of the found equihash solutions. Because of the extreme solution rate achieved with equihash96/5 on multi-card rigs this by itself uses a significant amount of CPU resources. Higher intensity should reduce CPU usage a bit (fewer opencl calls needed).
I tried that by the way (i 128), didn't help; The miner still hangs the system. ps: what's the max intensity value accepted by miner? set it to 256 just now, let's see how long will it take before hang.
Update2: hanged after 5h. intensity increased to 384. cpu load is still high (3 cores 100% load) and it's always like that, regardless of solution rate.

its a closed source miner, exactly like the previous versions

hello,
where i can find the source code for this miner ?

The link is in the first post.

there is no source code in that repository .

Minimum SM version is 61 for Nvidia cards. So, only never cards are supported at the moment.
Windows version will take a bit more time, probably in a month.
If you have stability problems please make sure that the cards do not overheat. Try to reduce the mem/core clocks.

any eta on a Windows version?
November 13, 2017, 01:25:56 PM
I just tried the miner at work and I get the following error on Ubuntu16:
[GPU0] Device info: {"id": "0/0" "name": "GeForce GT 730" "platform": "Nvidia" "driver": "387.12"}
ptxas fatal : SM version specified by .target is higher than default SM version assumed
Any ideas? I cannot test on my GTX1070 as I am on Windows on all my rigs

It has to do with SM version being too low. But I am still waiting for the dev to confirm this. I had the same problem with GTX 560 Ti, which works for mining Bitcoin Gold for example with EWBF Cuda Miner 0.3.4b BTG. Of course the hashrate what I get is desperate

Is it faster then mxMiner in 10 times???!!!
I haven't tried mxminer on these gpus. But, I was using mxminer2.0 on my windows machine which is i7-6850K (@4.2/3.8gHz AVX)+GTX1080 -> 12 Threads + CUDA (Intensity 128) = 1.4-1.7kSol, yeah, optiminer just creams mxminer. If only it was more stable and less cpu dependent it would be the best miner for equihash96.5 November 13, 2017, 12:22:39 PM
Optiminer 2.0 is great, but unstable af.
I'm running 6x1060 6GB rig powered by EthOS v1.2.5 (Linux ###### 4.8.17-ethos49 #6 SMP Tue Aug 29 23:24:18 CDT 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux), Nvidia driver version: 384.47
Optiminer 2.0 runs with no errors, the performance is really impressive (equihash96_5), BUT... it works only half an hour max and then HDD led glows red (not blinking), nothing happens, system hanged and unresponsive. So I hit reset, os and the miner loads up... 10-20 minutes and it hangs again... NO ERRORS, NO NOTHING.. hashrate just drops to zero and then hang occurs. Perhaps my Core2Quad Q9450 cpu is too weak for this miner idk, if so, tell me is there a way to exclude cpu from mining process? Oh and could you please explain --pci-modes there are four, right? which one is best for pcie2.0 system? Thanks in advance.

Good job Optiminer! This was long overdue
