ewbf 0.4 is the latest one for new equihash variants
read here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ewbfs-cuda-equihash-miner-06-4466962

We call those new variants in nvOC as "Zhash", as WTM does and we refer to this new ewbf miner for new variants as "z_ewbf".
The old ewbf 0.3.3 and 0.3.4 which we refer to as simply "ewbf" 3_3 and 3_4 are two miners you can use for the classic equihash variant, which we refer to as simply "equihash".

If you think ewbf author did a bad choice in naming the new miner (for us: z_ewbf) again as "EWBF Equihash Cuda miner" and versioning it the same way such that now officially exists both "ewbf 0.3.3" and "ewbf 0.3" where the second one is newer and a totally different miner for different algos (note: the new miner does not support the classic equihash algo) then I will support you if you would like to start a campaign to get the new miner renamed to anything different.

Got it! Thanks for the info LuKePicci.
Quiet confusing...
My rigs work fine with equihash-MPH
but when I switch to BTG mining (EWBF v0.4) it was working with lots of rejects and eventually rig start to loosing cards/rebooting itself.
Last time before reboot 3 cards show 0 hash rate. This rig has 13 gtx1080
Also My BTG-MPH dashboard shows 0 kh/s all the time.
so I switched back to ZCL.
Now I'm trying to understand what I was doing wrong.
Can you help me?

What are your BTG settings?
These are working with no problems for me

Code:

# Bitcoin Gold (BTG)
BTG_ADDRESS="username"
BTG_EXTENSION_ARGUMENTS="--algo 144_5 --pers BgoldPoW"
BTG_POOL="europe.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com"
BTG_PORT="20595"
BTG_WORKER="$WORKERNAME"

Thank you guys for nvOC v19.2.1
It works great! trying to mining BTG
The only issue I still can not upgrade EWBF to v3.0
I already run
cd ~/NVOC/mining
bash nvOC upgrade and miner upgrade
I upgraded NVidia driver to 390 version
but it always starts EWBF v0.4 with lots of rejects
Can you help me how to get EWBF v3.0 ruining?

also why do we need to set up BTG wallet address if we use MPH?

@fk2 I can't see any error from the miner output in any of logs you reported, try repeating the same thing using miner-log instead of master-log to focus only on miner output. Also report here the output you see in the gnome terminal including the "SCREEN …" command line used to launch the miner. Repeat all those tests with watchdog disabled otherwise it is hard to debug given it continuously try to recover
ewbf is closed source so you can't compile it, for the others may be you need a recompile but let's check if this is the actual issue.

@parentibule you still have nvCO installed as a service you have to uninstall or disable it by doing "sudo systemctl disable nvoc"

Atfer some time mining ETH with 2.1 beta and enlargement pill I wanted to test further with mining VTC. But miner simply won't start again. I disabled OC GPUs to make sure no OC problem is the case but still no success. I did a nvOC upgrade but still no success:

@parentibule you messed up something, I see you are running commands from an home directory of an user named 'm1_2.1'. Have you intentionally did this or you were just trying to put nvOC into a different folder? If you know how Windows users profile works, you know that there exist a folder for each user in C:\Users\ for example my user folder is C:\Users\LuKe. In Ubuntu that is the same thing but every user has a folder inside the /home directory, so in nvOC images the default user is 'm1', therefore exists a folder /home/m1 which is the place where all user files need to be. If you created a new user named 'm1_2.1' then it is correct that such /home/m1_2.1 folder exists, but in such a case you did a horrible choice in placing nvOC files inside his home folder because Ubuntu uses that folder to store all system files related to that user, that's why the default location for nvoc files in prebuilt images is '/home/m1/NVOC/something', /home/m1 is the home folder for m1 user, NVOC is just a folder like any other. If, instead, you choosed to place nvOC files inside an arbitrary folder name /home/m1_2.1 but you created no user named m1_2.1 then you did a mistake, reinstall nvOC into another folder. Remember that the default m1 user is a NOPASSWD sudoer, he can reboot doing 'sudo reboot' without being asked for credentials. Don't care the nvOC as a service mode, it is an alternative to gnome for who really needs it.

I don't know why I done this! It's clearly totally stupid :/ Thanks for your explanations.

It is easier to break an atom than partialities AE

I can see this message on MPH WebPage :

Quote

"- Ethereum block height passed 6000000. If you are using old version of claymore your mining would be stopped due to epoch error. Please update to latest version. Claymore miner

I think nvOC miners needs to be updated with Claymore v11.9 (For those are using this miner software)

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/claymores-dual-ethereum-amdnvidia-gpu-miner-v150-windowslinux-1433925

EDIT : Those who had update to nvOC 19.2.1 have Claymore v11.9. Sorry for this useless alert if you updated

@Ventero I don't understand which kind of "settings" for claymore you are in search of. It is just a miner, the only things you need to set are the pool and the algorithm you intend to mine and it is done automatically by nvOC when you set COIN="ETH" and related ETH_* settings. You don't need nothing else in most cases. Try start mining and see the miner command line built up by nvOC in the miner log window, if you see there are some missing arguments come back here to ask why a certain argument is not set correctly, but I don't tkink this could happen to you with a well supported miner like claymore. Let me know.

The instructions you are referring to explain how to configure and customize the prebuilt image setup. Most people would be fine with defaults. firstboot.json file configures the very first boot of your rig during which nvOC is installed and then it is never ever used again in your rig lifespan. 1bash contains settings for nvOC. During the first boot the 1bash file you palce in the small fat partition is imported to the nvOC installation when it is ready.

The auto_expand option enables the Ubuntu disk partision to be enlarged (during firstboot) up to the entire disk sapce. The prebuilt image you download is small to fit various drive sizes. If you do not a lot of free space available on your rig ubuntu partition leave it to false.

Compiling a software means you take its source code (written in some programming language) and build again from sources the executable binary (think to .exe files in windows). nvOC comes with a set of already compiled miners, some of them are open source, we have the source code, some other are closed source, the source is secret and only the author has it. Therefore you can recompile only open source software or that one you authored. You don't need to recompile open source miners you find in nvOC unless the the compiled version is not compatible with your platform/runtime. Finally, claymore is a close source miner, nobody can recompile it. When someone install nvOC on a lagre number of rigs where he already knows in advance that a recompilation will be needed, he may find usefult to instruct the firstboot setup to do it before starting to try mining otherwise it will fail and he will need to manually recompile the miner on each rig. Compiling a miner require a lot of disk space to store sources and various files generated during the compilation, so it is usually needed to also enable auto_expand in such kinf of scenarios.

Long story short: you just need to write the image to drive, download a 1bash.template from github, customize it with mining-related settings (start by only setting coin and mining pool) and place this shiny 1bash file in the small fat partition. And boot the rig. That is why this thread title includes "easy-to-use" Wink

@Ventero the coin setup section looks fine, the miner specific options are usually fine with defaults so revert them back to defaults (you can always see defaults in the 1bash.template). Those settings defines how the params you put for eth or other coins are glued together and passed to the miner command line.

thanks for advice. I was trying to find defaults options for claymore but I did not found them in 1bash.template file (I was trying to find them with CTRL-f tool). Are you sure it is there?

I downloaded latest beta version and I don't understand two things in instructions

"Edit firstboot.json to enable/disable auto_expand. ("true" or "false")"

>>> What it does?

"recompile miners on first boot ("false" for no recompile, "A" for all, The letter/number associated to each recompilable miner depends on the latest nvOC_miner_update.sh script you find in the nvOC_miners repository on GitHub)" >>>

>>> I want to compile just claymore. I have to define letter/number asociated with claymore in 1bash file? I did not find it in bash file. I have to setup it "false" and then I will find letter/number associated with claymore after I boot into nvOS?

Thank you!

@parentibule have you intentionally enabled nvOC to run as a system service instead of as gnome profile launch script or you don't know what I'm talking about? In the first case, open an issue for that on github. In the second one, have you ever run the nvOC install-service command? You don't have to if you do not intend to switch to service mode, but if you have ever done this in the past, even accidentally, then check PR note here #149

edit:@parentibule I think there is a bug somewhere, we ill discuss it in github. For anyone else having problems with nvOC as a service the above general guideline is valid.

I try nvOC install-service because I have a lbocking problem with reboot:

Quote

m1@m1-desktop:~$/home/m1_2.1/nvOC reboot
Warning: The host will reboot in 10 seconds, ctrl-c to cancel...

Failed to start reboot.target: Connection timed out
See system logs and 'systemctl status reboot.target' for details.

And I thought installing (and stopping) nvOC as service could resolve it.

edit: note that I try all the known ways to (ssh) reboot linux and none works. I didn't even know it was possible!

Sure you can. zpool, nicehash and mph are some kind of special pools that require special configurations so they have their own sections in 1bash. If you are on ethermine (I'm on ethermine too), you just need to setup ETH coin with ethermine pool settings. There is a quite long list of coin settings, scroll down to ETH and set the pool address, your worker name, wallet address and port and you're done. If you see settings for mph in there,, they're just examples of what you should put in these configs for a generic pool.

thanks for reply!

I edited ETH coin like this

# Ethereum (ETH)
ETH_ADDRESS="0xDb4E411F930aC6aD73dF884f06FfA233bA1e830d"
ETH_EXTENSION_ARGUMENTS=""
ETH_POOL="eu1.ethermine.org"
ETH_PORT="4444"
ETH_WORKER="$Ruda_nvOS"

but I thought I still need to define miner somewhere, so I did it here, but I feel like I do something wrong because I specify pool and adress on two different places

ETHASH_MINER="CLAYMORE" # Choose "CLAYMORE" or "ETHMINER", "GENOIL" or "BMINER"
ETHASH_WALLET_FORMAT="-epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0xDb4E411F930aC6aD73dF884f06FfA233bA1e830d.Ruda_nvOS"
CLAYMORE_VERSION="latest" # Choose: latest or any version you add its folder.
ETHMINER_OPTS="" # Ethminer optional arguments. add "--api-port -3333" if you want web info
CLAYMORE_OPTS="-wd 1 -r 1 -esm 0 -allpools 1 -asm 0 -mport -3333 -mode 1"

Is this correct or am I doing somthing wrong? Thank you, again!

ETHASH_WALLET_FORMAT is "." or "/" or whatever your pool requires, ethpool and ethermine wallet format are "."

from 1bash:

Code:

WALLET_ADDRESS_FORMAT="."                        # Choose between "." , "/" , "-" or any other separators your pool uses.
                                                 # Some pools require dot (address.worker), some require slash (address/worker) format.
                                                 # Depending on the pool you use, set this appropriately:

Guys, thank you both for the support, I greatly appreciate it.
There must be something basic I am missing.
When I run the command:

Code:

cd ~/NVOC/mining
bash nvOC upgrade

I get a usage list like this:

Any guidance you guys can provide?

@uga you have a very old nvOC script version which does not support the upgrade command. Either you do it manually if you are confident in managing git trees or you can simply grab a newer nvOC helper script from github, replace the old one, and there will be the upgrade command also.

@Ventero the coin setup section looks fine, the miner specific options are usually fine with defaults so revert them back to defaults (you can always see defaults in the 1bash.template). Those settings defines how the params you put for eth or other coins are glued together and passed to the miner command line.

Hi,
With git version, on nvOC restart (or nvOC start-service), I have:

Quote

Jul 22 15:37:30 m1-desktop systemd[1]: Started nvOC Service.
Jul 22 15:37:30 m1-desktop systemd[1]: nvoc.service: Service hold-off time over, scheduling restart.
Jul 22 15:37:30 m1-desktop systemd[1]: Stopped nvOC Service.

Jul 22 15:37:30 m1-desktop systemd[1]: Failed to start nvOC Service.

And I don't find any log about this.

Thank you so much for your help - greatly appreciated!
I have run the script:

Code:

cd ~/NVOC/mining
git pull

And it looks like it has run the update.
I had to rename 1bash, 3main and another file in the www directory for the update to generate the 1bash.template and run smoothly.

However, I am still unable to run the miner, I get the following error message:

Code:

/home/m1/NVOC/mining/2unix: line 48: 3572 Terminated
/home/m1/NVOC/mining/2unix: line 31: /home/m1/NVOC/mining/1bash.template: No such file or directory

I then copied 1bash and renamed it 1bash.template, so that I have both a 1bash and 1bash.template, but I still get the issue:

Code:

/home/m1/NVOC/mining/2unix: line 48: 3572 Terminated

Not sure if it matters, but the number before Terminated (above 3572) changes and goes in an increasing pattern.

It actually seems to be an issue I face with the beta version even before I run the script to upgrade to the latest.
I have tried a couple coins, but it has no impact.

Any insight into how to address this?
I am in way above my head here

Thanks guys!

P.S: Also wondering about something: when I look into the miner folder, for some reason I cannot locate a EWBF folder - Not sure if this is normal? I had a look to see if it was perhaps burried into another subfolded in the miner folder but no luck.

Avoid running 'git pull' manually, always use nvOC upgrade command which automatically handle removing conflicts like those you had in some files.
So you have to do:

Code:

cd ~/NVOC/mining
bash nvOC upgrade

Let's say that the previous command updated nvOC to a version which requires a miner update, like the latest changes for Zhash. Then at this point after the command has been executed you have the minimum required version of miners packages ready to be installed.

You can do it by running (from the same directory):

Code:

bash nvOC miners-upgrade

This last command will also check again for further miners updates, it may pull additional miners updates released after the nvOC version you updated to with the first 'nvOC upgrade' command, and it will install all of them and eventually ask you if you intend to compile some of them. If you don't do it no miners update will be applied. Maybe in future revisions the nvOC upgrade command will ask you if you also intend to upgrade miners. At the moment you have to to both.

You can always install miners updates only without updating main nvOC files by just doing 'bash nvOC miners-upgrade' from your nvOC installation path.

I have also just tried on the new beta version as I was under the impression that the new v0_3 version EWBF would be on there, but it does not look like it is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers

You should update the beta image to latest

Update beta image to latest and it has ewbf v0.3:

Code:

bash ~/NVOC/mining/nvOC upgrade

Or:

Code:

cd ~/NVOC/mining
git pull

Remember, latest default 1bash is changed to 1bash.template
Edit and save it as 1bash, reboot.

You renamed 1bash.template to 1bash,
Just remove 1bash.template, run the upgrade command again

Code:

bash ~/NVOC/mining/nvOC upgrade

Sorry forgot to mention to update miners after update nvOC.
Run miner upgrade command (No need to recompile, it will take very long time):

Code:

bash ~/NVOC/mining/nvOC miners-upgrade
