[OS] nvOC Community Release free-easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining

nvOC_19-3.x_U16.04_Cuda_8-9.2_N410_2018-10-27

Which nvOC version are you using?

Is X16R coins set in 1bash?

Thank you, do you know why i get this :

COIN/ALGO not found, Check your settings
Miner not started, Stopping watchdog

my settings

Nope, it's Nvidia only.

Is RadeonVII supported?

Change:
X16R_MINER="ZENEMYminer"

to:
X16R_MINER="T_Rex"

How do i use the trex miner for RVN ? i see in in folder but its not in 1bash ?

No, i compiled Xmr-stak 2.10.0 like my "how to" described last saturday.

I manually compiled it after a git clone in src folder of xmr-stak.

Default Cuda installed in nvOC is 9.2

I think if you use the pre-compiled version from GitHub, it uses cuda from nvidia 410 driver, which is cuda 10

If recompile it, it should use cuda 9.2 from nvOC


Test both see which one gives better hash rate.

So, perhaps we have to indicate the path when we compile the program ? In makefile ?

My miner mine, but i don't know which cuda version it's using ...I have find how to determine and do the best compilation of xmr-stak.

Different cuda versions shown by nvcc and nvidia-smi:

If you'd like to see how a Foreman dashboard looks, we just released a public read-only demo account that you can access here:  https://dashboard.foreman.mn/demo/

I have the same problem while i don't upgrade yet.


I recompiled xmr-stak from 2.9.0 to 2.10.0 at 16h30 like my last message looks.

I will upgrade later. I'll have to test this foreman interface. For sure.



For now, it seems that the fork of monero has not changed anything, it has even made things worse since there is 90% of the hashrate that is dominated by ASICs or AMAPs, against 60-70% before the fork , which makes the network still more vulnerable! AND does not prevent extreme centralization.

Today I noticed it too, while I have not installed cuda-10 on my rig nvidia-smi shows cuda-10
But my default cuda version is 9.2



Have you tried beta_testing: bash nvOC miners-upgrade
Then let it recompile XMR_Stak?

I have a problem from several month with xmr-stak :

When xmr-stak start, i can read theses messages :



but when i use nvidia-smi command, i can see that i have CUDA 10.0 :


and when a i compiled the latest xmr-stak version, i saw that several backend had been compiled :



List of files in my xmr-stak folder :



What's the problem on my system that indicate i have not the good CUDA backend ?

How can i  remedy/resolve this problem ?

19-3.1 Community Release beta_testing progress:

Thanks for detailed howto

From next release with pluggable miners you dont need to edit 0miner or any other scripts, just need 3 sections bellow, add new algo to algos,  newalgo_coins and newalgo_miner info to 1bash and all is set.

=> Modify the donate-level like you wish to donet at the develeppers that is 2%, save the file, and quit by command




wait for several minutes, the compilation remains stuck or stagnates around 71% to 75%, then progresses rapidly thereafter


remake the new symbolic links


Changes made to the various files to allow the use of the new version of xmr-stak (2.9.0) in nvOC 19.3.0 :

Changes in 0miner file (adding) :

elif [[ $ALGO == CRYPTONIGHTV7 || $ALGO == CRYPTONIGHTHEAVY || $ALGO == CRYPTONIGHTV8 ]];
then

to

elif [[ $ALGO == CRYPTONIGHTV7 || $ALGO == CRYPTONIGHTHEAVY || $ALGO == CRYPTONIGHTV8 || $ALGO == CRYPTONIGHTR ]];
then


and a little bit below


if [[ $ALGO == "CRYPTONIGHTV7" ]]
  then
    UCCALGO="--currency cryptonight_v7"
  elif [[ $ALGO == "CRYPTONIGHTV8" ]]
  then
    UCCALGO="--currency cryptonight_v8"
  elif [[ $ALGO == "CRYPTONIGHTHEAVY" ]]
  then
    UCCALGO="--currency cryptonight_heavy"
  fi

to

 if [[ $ALGO == "CRYPTONIGHTV7" ]]
  then
    UCCALGO="--currency cryptonight_v7"
  elif [[ $ALGO == "CRYPTONIGHTV8" ]]
  then
    UCCALGO="--currency cryptonight_v8"
  elif [[ $ALGO == "CRYPTONIGHTHEAVY" ]]
  then
    UCCALGO="--currency cryptonight_heavy"
   elif [[ $ALGO == "CRYPTONIGHTR" ]]
  then
    UCCALGO="--currency monero"
  fi


Note 1 : Developpers alert us on their gihub page by this message  :Select the currency monero to switch automatically the algorithm from cryptonight_v8 to cryptonight_r

So, i choose to define UCCALGO="--currency monero" instead of UCCALGO="--currency cryptonight_r" for the moment

In 1bash file

in # Algo definitions and Coin->Algo mappings

added CRYPTONIGHTR here :
ALGOS="BITCORE CRYPTONIGHT CRYPTONIGHTHEAVY CRYPTONIGHTV7 CRYPTONIGHTV8 CRYPTONIGHTR DECRED EQUIHASH ETHASH GRS LBRY LYRA2V2 LYRA2Z MYR_GR NEOSCRYPT PASCAL PHI1612 PHI2 SIA SIB SKEIN SKUNK X13 X16R XEVAN ZHASH"

and here :

BITCORE_COINS="BTX"
CRYPTONIGHT_COINS="KRB,NICE_CRYPTONIGHT"
CRYPTONIGHTV7_COINS="ETN,NICE_CNV7"
CRYPTONIGHTV8_COINS="MPH_CRYPTONIGHTV8,NICE_CNV8"
CRYPTONIGHTR_COINS="XMR"
CRYPTONIGHTHEAVY_COINS="LOKI,NICE_CNHEAVY"
DECRED_COINS="DCR"
EQUIHASH_COINS="ZEC,ZEN,HUSH,ZCL,BTCP,KMD,ZPOOL_EQUIHASH,MPH_EQUIHASH,NICE_EQUIHASH,VOTE,BTCP,BCI"
...
...
...

I removed XMR from CRYPTONIGHTV8_COINS line


in # Algo->miner mapping and specific settings  Section

added :

## CRYPTONIGHTR
CRYPTONIGHTR_INTENSITY="5"
CRYPTONIGHTR_MINER="XMR_Stak"
CRYPTONIGHTR_WALLET_FORMAT="$WALLET_ADDRESS_FORMAT"[/code]

Another news about monero algo fork and my favorite miner xmr-stak :

https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/releases/tag/2.9.0


therefore, can you modify the appropriate scripts so that they can run xmr-stak with the adapted command that will select the new cryptonight_R algorithm?

it is currently not available in the 1bash and therefore not in the 0miner file either.

NB: I have not yet tried the new version of testing with this new interface that seems to bring something very attractive visually, but I'll see what I can do after the fork of Monero
