Bad news about Equihash  :

Bitmain launch Equihash ASIC this day. 10 KSol/s consumming only 300W !

What do you think about this ASIC ?

https://shop.bitmain.com/product/detail?pid=00020180503154806494uGcSyiu806FD

I said that I do not come to promote them, I did not buy ASIC but it is quite clear that this case will pose a huge problem. Much worse than that of the ETH miner of the same company.

Only the Monéro community reacted in opposition to the bitmain ASICS. I simply wish to have your opinion on this issue which may make GPU mining obsolete on this algorithm rather quickly.

At this rate, only Neoscrypt and Cryptonight V7 will remain to be mined via CPU and GPU. Not a good deal for decentralization as a cryptocurrency target.


One rig 22mhX6 for 132MH drawing 680w VS 10Kh @300W is going to be a threat?   Where?
 Oh and each unit does cost 2K and you can only have one for now. Hmmmmm.

Yes, a threat to the profitability of every coins that uses the Equihash algo.
The coins are massively produced for cheap which will reduce the profitability of RIGs graphics cards that consume much more and produce much less (as you indicate).The difficulty will also increase very strongly in a very short time.

Yes, it costs $ 2,000 for now but how many KSol can you produce with a rig at this price? Certainly much less.

So I'm not convinced by your answer a little too evasive.

Its equihash not ethash ...
For Ethash there is the Antiminer E3. Price and power consumption is not radically better than a GPU rig with an equivalent hash rate

Found them! There is a lot in there... But I am not sure what I am looking for. There is some warnings I see in there, all the files look identical almost. Are you in the discord? I could send it to you on there? This is the last portion of it.
I am not in the discord. There is going to be a LOT of stuff in the syslog and most of it you can ignore. What you want to do is to zero in on the entries just before it froze. This is all done by timestamps. You can also look for entries that are hard errors but those may prove to be red herrings.

If you notice there are syslogs going back about a week. syslog is from today, syslog.1 is going to be yesterday, syslog.2.gz is the archived syslog from the day before that, etc. For the gz ones, just use "gunzip " as root to unzip them so that you can read them.

So start by recalling the day and time of the last freeze(s), and then figure out which log it would be in based upon the timestamp of the syslogs. Next, open whichever one(s) those are and find that day/time. You should then see additional clues (probably errors) that were logged. Once you find them, we can go from there.

Updated the previous post to include the last portion of the files.

It froze every day and all the files looks the same, so whatever this issue is it just happens over and over again.

Let me see if I can make it more clear. Unlike some nvOC specific logs, Ubuntu [any unix system] syslogs are written to constantly, so grabbing the last (most recent) part of one is unlikely to be helpful in diagnosing your problem. Instead, what you want to do is view the logs with an editor like vi and scroll through it until you find the day and time of when the freeze occurred.

For example, I had an issue with one of my miners on Wednesday morning. My pool indicated that it was not mining so tried to login via ssh but could not. I physically checked on the machine and it was running but I could not access it remotely (I don't have a display connected to it). So, I powered it down for a few minutes and then powered it back up. It came up just fine and started mining again. Of course, I wanted to find out what had happened so I started looking at my syslog for that day and at that time - sometime after 9:30am on May 2. When I found that part of the log, I saw this:
Code:
May  2 07:35:02 Miner1 anacron[30615]: Job `cron.daily' terminated
May  2 07:35:02 Miner1 anacron[30615]: Normal exit (1 job run)

May  2 12:17:01 Miner1 CRON[8511]: (root) CMD (   cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)
May  2 12:43:29 Miner1 rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="8.16.0" x-pid="846" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com"] start

So for some still to be determined reason, my machine decided to withdraw its DNS registration from my DNS which resulted in loss of name resolution and connectivity.

While not at all relevant to your situation, I just wanted to use this example of an issue that I had, how I found it, and what caused it.

I hope this helps.

Great, do you do have syslogs dating back a week to inspect. Namely these:
Code:
-rw-r-----  1 syslog            adm     221063 May  4 11:03 syslog
-rw-r-----  1 syslog            adm     480516 May  4 07:43 syslog.1
-rw-r-----  1 syslog            adm      71338 May  3 10:28 syslog.2.gz
-rw-r-----  1 syslog            adm     101993 May  2 08:56 syslog.3.gz
-rw-r-----  1 syslog            adm      70681 May  1 07:35 syslog.4.gz
-rw-r-----  1 syslog            adm      37431 Apr 30 19:00 syslog.5.gz
-rw-r-----  1 syslog            adm       8234 Apr 29 07:35 syslog.6.gz
-rw-r-----  1 syslog            adm       8185 Apr 28 07:35 syslog.7.gz
You should be able to go back through them and align your "freezes" with what is in them for those times.

Found them! There is a lot in there... But I am not sure what I am looking for. There is some warnings I see in there, all the files look identical almost. Are you in the discord? I could send it to you on there? This is the last portion of it.

Great, do you do have syslogs dating back a week to inspect. Namely these:
Code:
-rw-r-----  1 syslog            adm     221063 May  4 11:03 syslog
-rw-r-----  1 syslog            adm     480516 May  4 07:43 syslog.1

-rw-r-----  1 syslog            adm       8185 Apr 28 07:35 syslog.7.gz
You should be able to go back through them and align your "freezes" with what is in them for those times.

Haha, you and me both.. Straight up driving me crazy.

I had enabled the system restart timer for 720 min / 12 hours yesterday to see if it would restart and not freeze (as it does about every 18 hours). It tried to restart and froze the systems instead.

Created the new directory -

m1@m1-desktop:~$ sudo su -
root@m1-desktop:~# cd /var/log
root@m1-desktop:/var/log# touch test.txt
root@m1-desktop:/var/log# ls test*
test.txt



Ugh. I found this which may be relevant:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/395879/files-in-var-log-are-only-writing-to-file-1-syslog-is-empty-but-not-syslog-1

Can you make sure your log rotate daemon is running:
Code:
m1@Testy:~$ ps -ef |grep rsys
syslog     828     1  0 Apr30 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/rsyslogd -n
m1       22431 22172  0 13:36 pts/22   00:00:00 grep --color=auto rsys

And then post your /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog? Also, what files are in your /var/log dir?
Code:
m1@Testy:~$ ll /var/log

Both my rigs have no logs. Neither are set to clear logs on reboot, so they should be there if they are. Only logs I have seen are the ones I posted that show up in miner_watchdog



m1@m1-desktop:~$ /var/log$ ll sys*
bash: /var/log$: No such file or directory

This is truly strange and I kind of want to get the bottom of it. I wonder if you have a read-only filesystem as Ubuntu should be logging tons of stuff to /var/log:
Code:
m1@Testy:/var/log$ ls
alternatives.log    dist-upgrade     lightdm              syslog.4.gz
alternatives.log.1  dmesg            mail.err             syslog.5.gz
apache2             dpkg.log         mail.err.1           syslog.6.gz
apport.log          dpkg.log.1       mail.log             syslog.7.gz
apt                 faillog          mail.log.1           teamviewer12
auth.log            fontconfig.log   mail.log.2.gz        unattended-upgrades
auth.log.1          fsck             mail.log.3.gz        upstart
auth.log.2.gz       gpu-manager.log  mail.log.4.gz        wtmp
auth.log.3.gz       installer        prime-offload.log    wtmp.1
auth.log.4.gz       kern.log         prime-supported.log  Xorg.0.log
boot.log            kern.log.1       speech-dispatcher    Xorg.0.log.old
bootstrap.log       kern.log.2.gz    syslog               Xorg.1.log
btmp                kern.log.3.gz    syslog.1             Xorg.failsafe.log
btmp.1              kern.log.4.gz    syslog.2.gz
cups                lastlog          syslog.3.gz
Try writing a file as root like this:
Code:
m1@Testy:/var/log$ sudo su -
root@Testy:~# cd /var/log
root@Testy:/var/log# touch test.txt
root@Testy:/var/log# ls test*
test.txt

Hello!
First of all, thank you for this freeware os.

I have a quastion about working this os with nvidia p104 cards.
I have systems with only P104 cards. So, I have to connect monitor to the integrated video.
My systems can't work properly with these cards, nvidia x-server fails or can't apply oc for the cards. I tryied "p106 full headless mode" but it didn't help.
How to get system with P104 cards working?


P104 and P102 will be added to next version, for now,
As soon as rig starts and gnome-terminal opens, close it.
Open and edit /home/m1/3main

Change:
Code:
if grep -q "P106-100" /tmp/tempa;
then
  ___1050_or_1050ti="YES"
  P106_100="YES"
fi

To:
Code:
if grep -q -E 'P106|P104|P102' /tmp/tempa;
then
  ___1050_or_1050ti="YES"
  P106_100="YES"
fi

Reboot,
After start it should update Xorg and ask you to disconnect monitor and then it will reboot in 5 seconds.
Should start mining ok
You can then connect with ssh



Hello. Thank you. My system with P104 can work now and don't reboot.
But cards can't be overclocked(( OC settings don't apply to P104 cards. When I try to apply some oc manually (smth like this: nvidia-settings -a GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset=1000), nvidia-settings shows error.
What to do?

Bad news about Equihash  :

Bitmain launch Equihash ASIC this day. 10 KSol/s consumming only 300W !

What do you think about this ASIC ?

https://shop.bitmain.com/product/detail?pid=00020180503154806494uGcSyiu806FD

I said that I do not come to promote them, I did not buy ASIC but it is quite clear that this case will pose a huge problem. Much worse than that of the ETH miner of the same company.

Only the Monéro community reacted in opposition to the bitmain ASICS. I simply wish to have your opinion on this issue which may make GPU mining obsolete on this algorithm rather quickly.

At this rate, only Neoscrypt and Cryptonight V7 will remain to be mined via CPU and GPU. Not a good deal for decentralization as a cryptocurrency target.


One rig 22mhX6 for 132MH drawing 680w VS 10Kh @300W is going to be a threat?   Where?
 Oh and each unit does cost 2K and you can only have one for now. Hmmmmm.

The scary thing is that they are not sold out yet and it has been about 20 hours since they went on sale. This tells me that they must be selling a very large quantity. We all know that that the difficulty for equihash based coins will go way up when they start coming online in mid to late June, but I wonder about the prices of those coins short, mid and long term. I have several of them that I am "hodling" so this really casts a shadow of unknown on the best time to unload them.

As for how to react now, I suppose the best course of action is to read up on coins that we care about to see if there are any plans to change the algo to "asic proof" them. Also, try to find coins that can be mined with nvidia GPUs that are already asic proof like RVN.

Just my 2 cents...

Both my rigs have no logs. Neither are set to clear logs on reboot, so they should be there if they are. Only logs I have seen are the ones I posted that show up in miner_watchdog



m1@m1-desktop:~$ /var/log$ ll sys*
bash: /var/log$: No such file or directory

This is truly strange and I kind of want to get the bottom of it. I wonder if you have a read-only filesystem as Ubuntu should be logging tons of stuff to /var/log:
Code:
m1@Testy:/var/log$ ls
alternatives.log    dist-upgrade     lightdm              syslog.4.gz
alternatives.log.1  dmesg            mail.err             syslog.5.gz
apache2             dpkg.log         mail.err.1           syslog.6.gz
apport.log          dpkg.log.1       mail.log             syslog.7.gz
apt                 faillog          mail.log.1           teamviewer12

Try writing a file as root like this:
Code:

That is a good point, Thay. I was very surprised to learn how much some GPUs pull through the PCI slot and also that it varies by GPU and MFR. If we assume 50w per card (may even be low) and another 80w for the mobo, that gives us 680w. That is what I would consider to be the max usable for a 850w PSU (80% of rated output).

EDIT: IMO, trying to get a 12 GPU rig to be rock stable is an exercise in frustration. I have read dozens of messages on this thread (and others) of folks having all kinds of oddball problems with rigs that use more than 8 GPUs. This includes not only nvOC, but also Windows, SMOS, and HiveOS. It can be done, but it comes with an inherent lack of stability. If I were you, I would split it up into 2 rigs and get on with mining.

Added just two hours ago the 9th gpu to my rig, let me dream for a while as long as it don't crash. Btw it's a dual 850w psu rig, the psu powering the first 6-gpu runs also the mobo, 670w by itself from power socket, the other half is intended to work with 7-gpu, it's running only 3 right now. No kind of cable meltdown or overheating since November, so I'll keep crossing fingers. Still I would really like to check how much of the 100w budget my cards are getting through sata cables vs vga ones.

 Not sure this will be relevant but your system of 12 cards using one 850 psu for the risers is how I killed two psu. I only had 7 cards running and it was too much for the Sata channels to handle. One psu will be good for 6 sata devices so I think you are browning out the main psu. Once I dropped back on card count, no more problems. In the end, I gave up on the Server psu's and went with dual 1000w psu's.

The 850W PSU only runs the motherboard and one card and it's riser. I have three PSU's per rig. Two 1600W (6 cards and their risers each) and the 850W as described. I am no were near the amount of power the power supplies are capable of, so should be good there.

This is one of the rigs - https://imgur.com/a/WRfTksJ

That is a really nice (and big) rig. Did you find anything in syslog (as per my previous post)?

m1@m1-desktop:~$ sudo less /var/log/dmesg
(Nothing has been logged yet.)

Is all I get. I am using 19.2


There are lots of logs in there. In particular, I would like to see what was logged to syslog at the times when it freezes. You should find about a week's worth, some gzipped up:
