Topic: [OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining - page 37. (Read 418253 times)

Hello guys.
I was using nvOC_v0019 for a couple of months and then I switched to nvOC v0019-2.0.
I like all the new features of nvOC v0019-2.0 but I have problems with stability.
The nvOC_v0019 lasted around 10 days without freezes but nvOC v0019-2.0 lasts only a day or two and then freezes. I went back to nvOC_v0019 and stability improved.
I use SSH to access the miner.

I have two questions:

1) Can you help me with a command that will copy 1bash from 8MB windows partition to the right place, that it will be used on startup (nvOC_v0019 has a problem that it doesn't copy 1bash on first start with HDD)

2) I suspect that the problem with nvOC v0019-2.0 is in newer drivers. Fullzero also wrote that vBASIC uses an older Nvidia Driver. Can anybody give me some instructions that will uninstall nvidia drivers in nvOC v0019-2.0 and then install older drivers?

I would use the vBASIC, but it really lacks a lot of features ...
Fullzero, can you please tell me which driver version do you use in vBASIC and which version in nvOC_v0019?
Whitch command can I use to get Nvidia driver version?

Let me clear it up. No, i was not mixing AMD and Nvidia gpu´s in one rig, instead i built several rigs either using all AMD or all Nvidia.
In fact, after figuring out that it has something to do with the Ryzen cpu i built a rig with a Ryzen 7 1700x and a single AMD gpu then installed nvOC 19-2.0 and got stuck in the login loop. I rebuilt the rig, this time using a single nvidia card alongside the Ryzen 7 1700x and again was stuck in the login loop. To further explain, the Ryzen 7 doesn´t have a builtin gpu, so in order to get anything on the screen you have to use at least a single external gpu.

That is why i was asking if somebody actually is mining succesfully using nvOC in combination with a Ryzen cpu? I can´t get passed the login loop using any Ryzen cpu and nvOC. And since i don´t know enough about Linux i can´t resolve the login loop by myself.

I believe he is talking about CPU not GPU here. I have no experience with anything other than Intel.

You are using AMD GPU on nvOC?
You should use rxOC for AMD and cant use mix of Nvidia and AMD on nvOC and rxOC

Thank you guys,I've found the way.


for anyone who is learning Linux as same as me. 

Hi guys,

still being fairly new to Linux i encountered the following problem:

Recently i built a rig with a Ryzen 7 1700x and AMD GPU´s and then installed nvOC 19-2.0 Community.

Did not work at all, always got stuck in a login loop and the miner1 password didn´t work, the rig stayed in the login loop.

So obviously i started searching the web and found several threads with exactly the same problem, not for nvOC but Ubuntu 16.04. And there were some solutions which helped others like reassign the read write permissions, renewing .Xauthority and other solutions but none of these worked on my rig, it stayed in the login loop no matter what i did. I used a freshly imaged nvOC 19-2.0 with no changes whatsoever.
I could ctrl+alt+f1 into a tty and login but i could not get nvOC to start and run a miner.

So i figured i just try a different combination and changed the motherboard and now it gets weired. After changing the mobo the same thing happened i was stuck in the login loop so i started to change everything. I tried several motherboard´s, switched memory sticks, used Nvidia GPU´s as well as AMD GPU´s, put nvOC on an USB stick as well as on a harddisk but nothing worked for me in combination with a Ryzen processor. I also tried a Ryzen 3 and a Ryzen 5. Using a windows setup all these combinations worked just fine but not with nvOC.

The second i put a Ryzen processor into any one rig and install nvOC i always get stuck in a login loop.

So is there anybody out there successfully mining with a Ryzen processor and nvOC?
Was anybody stuck in the login loop on nvOC and successfully resolved this matter and how?

Sorry guy´s i am lost here, need some help i can´t use nvOC with a Ryzen processor.

Hi guys,
For some reasons, I have to use Wireless USB Adapter instead of Lan. I have Totolink-N150UA and I want to install its driver.

The driver is in this link: http://www.totolink.net/sub/product/detail.asp?product_num=100035

however, I don't know how to install the driver in Linux, NVOC. Can anyone please teach me?
Thank you very much.

PS. I know linux doesn't need to install the driver to be able to use the wireless usb adapter, but internet connection to mining pool is very bad, so I want to try update the driver.

XMR/Monero mining using XMR-STAK

I found the answers I was looking for and better understand the code in 0miner now. I wanted to be able to compile the latest miner just to gain some experience in how to do it for the soon to be released version that supports the fork. What I did to compile up the December version was to follow the last few steps of this:

https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/blob/master/doc/compile_Linux.md

(dunno if this is what is included in nvOC 19-2.0 or not)

Specifically, I did these steps:


If you just execute the binary (./xmr-stak), it will do a one-time prompt for coin, pool, addr.worker and pass and create the necessary configuration files config.txt, cpu.txt and nvidia.txt. As I mentioned in a previous post, 0miner does a similar configuration, but it is unclear to me if the existing code is correct for v2.2.0 (a.k.a, the December version).

hello, and thank you. i am all up and running.


how to add new coin? i mean coin which is not listed in 1bash?

Disable UEFI, enable CSM or Legacy boot devices. Try different USB ports. If you still having trouble join the Discord chat, it's easier to troubleshoot through live chat (I think the link is in the third post on page 1 of this thread)

Hi

I am using main BioStar H81S2, how can I boot nvOC from USB Stick. I tried to using it, but it not show from boot menu.

Thank you sir. That was very recent and I should have caught it.

So in your post, are saying that the December version (-> https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/releases) does an auto configuration instead of the "unusual" config steps that are done with each execution in the current 0miner? If so, I am assuming that you compiled it up and discovered this. I am trying to figure out where to start and it sounds like you are ahead of me. If it does the auto configuration, then we need to adjust the code in 0miner to support it (presumably by removing the configuration code is there).

BTW, the fork has been pushed out to 4/6 (https://github.com/monero-project/monero).

I post a coment like yours 2 days ago :
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.32943684

I follow their miner since 1 year, and i'm sure this is the best cryptonight miner. So, i think your asks are rightful.

I also noticed that the activity on this forum has greatly diminished since the return of Fullzero. I do not really know why or what's going on behind this apparent drop in activity, but I hope the reasons are good and that we will soon be thinking about why with a new release.
I think I'm a little too optimistic and nothing is happening in reality.

I think that falling prices in the cryptos market are causing a change in the time spent trading to avoid too many losses.

Hey guys, long time no see/post. Forgive me for asking a question which, like a lot of them, has probably been asked over and over here. As always, this thread is particularly difficult to search and I have not been following much since the release of 19-2.0. Anyway, I have been reading some about the mounting excitement over the upcoming fork of Monero V7 POW. So I decided to look into mining it with nvOC.

What I am seeing 0miner is that the "xmr-stak" miner is used and the configuration is, well, quite unusual. If this topic has been discussed recently, could someone please post a link to it? If not, it looks like xmr-stak needs to be updated when they opt to release the new version that supports it -> https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/releases

In reading the Issues section, I see this "I'll repeat to everyone asking for an early release: If anyone wants this now to test, pull master, merge the PR, build and test. If you would rather have an official xmr-stak release, you have to wait as the team need to test themselves."

So what is the official Community Release stance/status on this? 

Yeah, we plan to do this but not in the nearest future. If you want to speed this process up, please share our calculator, spread the word

Can you fork WTM switcher for your website database ? Do you provide JSON file function on your website ?

Just wanted to say thank you. We're using your software for a while now. Keep up the good work! 

I read recently on the gitHub page of xmr-Stak, that monero will change version of algorithm to update to cryptonight V7.

They add a few other coins in cryptonight that will also go into V7.
Their miner is very efficient, very small and stable. At least for now.
It also improved in December, something I had not seen before early March. During the first launch, he assists the user in the configuration of the command files. It automatically detects the hardware for both the CPU and the GPU. And in addition, it calibrates the files so as not to saturate the CPU and / or the GPU. For example, it does not add hyperthreading CPU threads and only takes real and physically present cores.

I think it's worth following what they're doing and adding it to your juvenile update scripts. their github repository is regularly updated and the compilation can be fully automated without much trouble.

The update of XMR must intervene very soon (24/03/2018), so tomorrow! As soon as this shift is done, the pools will update as well. After this update, it would be wise to integrate their work in NVOC.

After, if you have a few thousand dollars to lose, you can also buy a Bitmain ASIC, but it is only dedicated to cryptonight V1! I strongly advise against it.

Please, papampi, fullzero, leenoox, stubo, damnmad, and other scripters i also forgot, add this ore when they will be updated.

I mined a number of coins with the neoscrypt algorithm. They are not all as profitable as I thought.
Bcp are really empty shitcoins of any team, and even those who have a team are not all really profitable.
In order, here is the profitability that I perceived: FTC, TZC, GBX, INN, VIVO, CRC. ETH is not so profitable, but when the market falls, it's all good to have it in its choices. I still hesitate on ETC. but it is likely that I will add it as well.

In a general way, I stopped all my mining towards cryptopia. This platform requires too much comissions. I'm also trying to do without Bittrex and go through Binance. Their tradding platform seems better than the poor little square Bittrex not very practical.
I'm still stuck on Bittrex for ZEN. But I hope the KMD team will add it to the BarterDEX.

I'm trying the atomics swapps on the Komodo platform, the barterDEX, but things are more complicated than I thought. It takes the good UtxO to trade correctly, and then for now, the volumes are lower. Still, this decentralized exchange already brings good tools and hopes to dispense with an exchange like cryptopia.
Komodo is not worth much for now, but their idea is good, and their Devs are moving forward despite the schedule.
I am very disappointed with their Wallet (Agama) for now, but I am sure it will improve as it seems they are working hard on code rather than marketing. Recently, they hired marketing persnnel, and it shows, but unfortunately not yet on the price. You can now vote on their blockchain. I do not know yet what's the point, I did not take the time to read about it.

I managed to make an exchange in atomic swap HUSH => KMD. the price is about 0.5. So I had ~ 5 KMD for ~ 10 HUSH. This inter-blockcahin transaction cost less than 2 minutes. But I have not managed to do anything else since. I'm having trouble syncing the blockchain KMD which is around 5 GB. Komodod is too slow, and I think I will go through the servers electrums thereafter. At least for KMD.
This atomic swap allows me to avoid going through cryptopia for HUSH and also to avoid Bittrex that I replace porgressively Binance whose costs are lower.
Does anyone have a comparative chart on the costs of the most famous platforms and with significant volumes?

If you know of other DEXs, I'm interested to try.

The algo that has again a higher profitability is Equihash, Neoscrypt has lead in the wing because of these coins that have no real reason to exist except to pump the power of mining and therefore the satoshis that we could generate. I think that only FTC and TZC really have interest on neoscrypt. All others, including GBX are a sore. They are hard to mine and their value has fallen sharply lately. FTC recently pumped massively up to 3800 Satoshis! A great deal and easy to mine at MPH.

So, I began to mine HUSH, MONA, ZEN, ZEC, ETH + XVG, KMD, and I kept NICE-EQUIHASH, NICE-NEOSCRYPT who occasionally point the tip of their nose at WTM. I must specify that I keep these nicehash coins because I have to recover the amounts before their hasck last December. Once recovered all, it is likely that I stop mining at home. coins they offer us another carrot appetizing to stay.

I hope that this long answer will have brought you and others some answers about coins to choose and other not to choose to mine.
