nvOC-V0019-2.0.img.tar i downloaded this from gdrive, ok i will try this one now thank you

Which version you installed?
You edited the 1bash in small partition or the one in /home/m1/ ?
There was a bug that dont copy your 1bash from small 9mb drive to /home/m1 at first boot, solved in latest image.

Try the latest v19-2.0 shrinked  image :

P.S: suprnova use your username not wallet address.

hello guys,i am just getting involved into mining, i made nvoc 0019 usb and changed all the settings like it is shown in Voskcoin video very basic setup, but after all it still keeps connecting to nanopool, please help me, i know this simple but i am newbe


COIN="ZEN"

AUTO_START_MINER="YES"    

# ZEC
ZEC_WORKER="ababadababa.ababazec"
# replace_with_your_ZEC_address
ZEC_ADDRESS="ababadababa"
ZEC_POOL="zec-eu.suprnova.cc"
ZEC_PORT="2142"

# ZEN
ZEN_WORKER="ababadababa.tempworker1"
ZEN_ADDRESS="znhjMywQKj3y5be8KA53e7RBBVMabegmG6o"
ZEN_POOL="zen.suprnova.cc"
ZEN_PORT="3618"
this is the settings i did, and it never starts mining for me, but for zec-us-east1.nanopool.org:6666
thanks for help

Looks like all cards dropped, either a cuda error on 1 of the cards or network issue
Have a look a 2-3 lines before this warning you should see watchdog error message.

 How can i tell which card ?

Je regarde les comparateurs de prix presque tous les jours et je suis en mesure de t'affirmer que sur Amazon il n'y pas de différence de prix si ce n'est que tu peux payer plus cher.

I look at price comparators almost every day and I can tell you that on Amazon there is no difference in price except that you can pay more.
I don't know about germany's shops, but if you buy in germany, you have to pay other taxes or trasnport costs. So, i am ready to discuss on PM with you about that.

I'll continue in private messages.

Bonjour CryptAtomeTrader44,
Je parle assez bien le français, si tu veux on continue la discussion dans le forum en Français.
When choosing a GPU for mining, you normally optimise 3 parameters:
1) Hash rate for your target coin/algorithm
2) power consumption
3) cost of acquisition or time to break even
For mining ETH I find the best compromise is in principle with the GTX 1060 6Gb or the GTX 1070, but this changes constantly.
As far as I understand the hike in prices is mainly due to the card manufacturers and distributors rather than NVIDIA or AMD. NVIDIA and AMD are reluctant to increase production capacity, since the investment to create a new fab is huge and the volatility of the crypto market if high. So the risk/costs involved in increasing production capacity make that the market will stay in scarcity mode for some time.
 
For the GPU memory, I just report what I read in the GTX 1060 discussion thread in BitcoinTalk (for example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1575547.200 )
I had a look at the "la boutique du mineur" and prices on the expensive side.
If you want to find good deals on GPU you have to expand your search outside France and check prices on a regular base. On amazon.fr for example prices can fluctuate 20% from one day to the next one.
Check German online shops they have pretty competitive prices.

I live in France and i agree with you about prices ...i wanted to buy GTX1070 before massive increase price. I was already to pay 500€ per card, but finally, price climb over 600€ one week just before i decide to buy ...So, i finally decide to buy GTX 1060 Aaurus in "la boutique du mineur", a french website from Paris for crypto miners. IMO, His prices and fiability are reasonable.

I Stop minning Neoscrypt Coins like GBX, CRC, VIVO, TZC, but i continue to mine FTC because it is on MPH and IMO has been pretty profitable since i mined it.

I will sell theses cards when I had succeeded to put 12 cards that my BIOSTAR allows me to install. I have only 7 cards now  Undecided Sad

Moreover, it seemed to me on a few sites that Nvidia is preparing other special minning cards for trying to separate minning market and gaming market (their core job).

I think in the next two or three months we will have opportunity to buy new specials mining cards. And they know that the minning is now here to last a very long time.

In fact, the real problem is that of international competition in manufacturing of GPUs is so much low. It is much too weak and cotnroler by the Americans who negotiate without saying world news with Canadian AMD so that it is profitable for both manufacturers whose courses and business gains were multiplied by two in less than two years due to minning GPU massive increase.

About samsung and micron brand memory chips, I want to trust you, but that's not what I read. If you have links that talk about this subject and comparisons, I'm interested.
In any case, I think this fact should be clearly stated on the technical specifications when we buy them. Even for the players, this case is important. This mass minning market has therefore raised a problem in this trade of micro graphics controllers. Promises are not always kept in the right way because nothing guarantees that the price paid will reflect the performance of the memory chips installed on the cards.
There is another problem with the graphics cards components : the coils. Some are bad and whistle (Coil Whine) quite audible for my honey cages (ears), and very unpleasant at first.

I think it will be necessary that this case is cleared or denounced. But as I said, they are only two very big GPU manufacturers on this globe and therefore, they have nothing to do complaints of minors or players as the purchases are growing ...

I used gg translate and edited.

Hi CryptAtomeTrader44,
Samsung stopped producing 2GB GDDR5 memory chips (at least the ones compatible with the GTX1060), and upgraded the fab to produce more profitable components. Therefore finding a GPU with Samsung chips is going to be more and more difficult. The gap has been filled in by Micron Technologies. Their chips are pretty good almost comparable to Samsung... the other manufacturers are crap.

Now then... in Europe, finding a GTX at a reasonble price is more and more challenging, In january there was a turning point and a dramatic increase in prices that where already very high. This at the same time than the crash in all cryptocurrencies, which is strange, since with lower coins value, mining should be less attractive.
In summary if I find a reasonably priced GTX 1060 6Gb, I buy, regardless of the memory manufacturer... so if you want to selll, I might buy :-D

Thank you PAPAMPI! I got it up and running! 6 GPU per board and installed on 3 boards! THANK YOU!!

I used 19-1.4 maybe that’s why. Thanks for the link soon as I’m out of work I’ll try that one thank you!

Which image you used?
The shrinked image should have no problem with your 16gb drive.
Try to remove the partitions and reformat with gparted then image it again.

Due to differents memory manufacturers. Samsung is best memory for GPU than SK-Hynix. And for sure, assembler don't tell us what memory constructor they use for their cards.

Papampi had exactly the same problem several weeks ago. And you are Luckier than me because i have 5 GTX1060 and 3 of them give 19 MH/s only on ETH. One of them heat a lot and i am forced to reduce its CClock and MEMCLOCK

I think i will resell them one by one, but if someone knows an assembler which is using samsung memory only, i 'll give him a ki** ( ) , hum sorry, a merit point !


I didn't used GG Translate for this message. I'm trying ...

Bizarre thing.

I have a rig loaded with 7 GTX 1060 6Gb.
The ./nvOC gpuinfo command is showing me that all GPUs have aproximately the same GPUCLOCK and MEMCLOCK (the GPUs are from different manufacturers)
Nevertheless the miner log is showing me that 5 GPUs have a hash rate of approximately 22 Mh/s, but two have a hash rate of 19 Mh/s

How is this possible considering that the GPUs and Memory clock rates are the same?

Cheers

So I feel like an idiot but for some reason on initial set up I am getting error message: error file system entering rescue mode grub rescue...

I am using a 16gb San disk flash drive could this be the reason why? Could it be because I have Linux mint running on this system and simply shut down removed the hard drive, changed the bios settings for the usb configuration and then rebooted with the flash drive inserted?

I’m a noob obviously... any help is more than appreciated. Please!!!

Thanks bruv, you should've posted the DCR coin details from 1bash as well, anyway, by looking at the above code seems normal to me, so i will post the solutions below.

Not sure what sort of pool you are using for ETH, but if it is account based pool like suprnova then, check/change the below option


Add the extension arguments and make sure about the format;

If you are using non account based pools like nanopool or dwarfpool then don't touch change the below variable :


Add the extension arguments and make sure about the format;

Must change the DCR settings according to the below format, if you are dual mining.

Try the above options and let me know how it goes, if you still see authentication error, just go to guake


type this and pass the result to me; i will try to help you based on that.

Better to do full image upgrade:

sorry i am beginner
how can i run nvOC-19-2-update on my nvOC v0019 ?

thanks for your help
search for 0miner but i cant find it.i found 3main and this  code

I think that DUAL_ETH mining variable isn't usefull. IMO, it's better to use claymore arguments additionnals like this for XVG.

or For Libry :


In my 1bash :

And in my 0miner file command  :

I replaced by in all command line Ethash algo (PIRL, EXP, UBQ, ETC ...) because if not replacing, claymore was mining only ETH.

Claymore have 1% fee by pool, so 1% ofr eth and 1% for other dual mining coin. This miner is more stable than ethminer, many could to tell you. Although, some people here prefer not to pay fees to the developper
Then this dev has recently shown that it could evolve quickly and extensively its software. In addition, his manual is always explicit, easy to read after a first complete reading. I tried others miners and I came back pretty quickly to Claymore.
I know what i wrote above is a little promotion for it, but I have no interest or personal knowledge of his author. Only an undeniable recognition of his work. Even if like everyone else, I would not like to pay these fees...
