fullzero man this is some nice work thank you for providing for the community!

i'm so new and don't understand linux or pretty much anything in this thread. i've been reading for about 6 hours a day for the past week and it's still hard for me to understand how to even set up claymore so i've just been using nicehash because it's simple unzip, add wallet address and press start but i want to try to learn what all the stuff in this thread means.

thanks again, going to keep trying to figure it all out.

The easiest way to start mining different coins without using a service like nicehash; is to make an account with an exchange like Poloniex and use its wallets as your pool addresses. Generally I don't think storing coins at an exchange is a good idea; but for a new miner it makes sense to allow the mining of many different altcoins with minimal understanding of each coin.

Wow thanks so much for that! Great tip for sure and I did set up the account.

I only have 2 1070's for now and it's still running nicehash for now, but I'm going to keep reading and tinkering unitl I'm able to understand some more. I'm coming from a zero knowledge base but I'm chipping away slowly lol.

Thanks so much for your time, hopefully I will be able to set your nvOC OS up soon, I'm so anxious I can't wait lol.

I updated the fully compatible nvOC image for the MSI Z270-A PRO: see OP for download Link

nvOC is for fast 16gb or larger USB keys only: I highly recommend using this one: https://www.amazon.com/Lexar-JumpDrive-16GB-Flash-Drive/dp/B00S5V5PMY

This image includes plusCPU setting to enable cpuminer-opt to mine XMR while mining another COIN with the GPUs; I have done this across all my rigs for over a week and half now. Wink

This image has the newest oneBash supporting these COIN selections:

ZEC ZCL FTC LBC MUSIC ETC EXP ETH DCR PASC
DUAL_ETC_DCR DUAL_ETC_PASC DUAL_ETC_LBC DUAL_ETC_SC
DUAL_EXP_DCR DUAL_EXP_PASC DUAL_EXP_LBC DUAL_EXP_SC
DUAL_ETH_DCR DUAL_ETH_PASC DUAL_ETH_LBC DUAL_ETH_SC
DUAL_MUSIC_DCR DUAL_MUSIC_PASC DUAL_MUSIC_LBC DUAL_MUSIC_SC

cpuminer-opt is compiled for a i3-7100 CPU in this image.

To recompile for a different cpu:

Quote

press f12 to open the guake terminal

enter the command:

cd cpuOPT

and press enter

then type:

./build.sh

and press enter

this will recompile for your cpu; after it is done, if you change plusCPU to YES in oneBash and enter your XMR info you will mine a little XMR on the side.

Is the Siacoin mining available? Simple SC and Eth-SC dual mining?

You can modify oneBash to use DUAL ETH and SC; I will do this myself and post a new oneBash with DUAL ethash-SC coin selections. I will also look into solo SC.

Thank You!

I added all Claymore dual SC options:

nvOC is easy-to-use and supports mining (with the newest oneBash):
ZEC ZCL FTC LBC MUSIC ETC EXP ETH DCR PASC
DUAL_ETC_DCR DUAL_ETC_PASC DUAL_ETC_LBC DUAL_ETC_SC
DUAL_EXP_DCR DUAL_EXP_PASC DUAL_EXP_LBC DUAL_EXP_SC
DUAL_ETH_DCR DUAL_ETH_PASC DUAL_ETH_LBC DUAL_ETH_SC
DUAL_MUSIC_DCR DUAL_MUSIC_PASC DUAL_MUSIC_LBC DUAL_MUSIC_SC

You can download the newest oneBash from the Link on the OP.

However, I will need to add another client for mining SC directly. I will include it in the next version.

@fullzero
I like to run ./2unix using screen so I can attach to the mining process from an ssh session. Do you know how I might be able to make this the default behaviour? I've tried calling screen before dos2unix is called, but I get the error saying screen must be run from a terminal. Is there an easy way to make the onebash startup script spawn into a terminal? or am I trying to reinvent the wheel here? I'm pretty new to bash.

Thanks again for everything, fullzero.

to launch oneBash with screen you would edit 2unix to contain the following:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

expect -c 'spawn sudo dos2unix /media/m1/1263-A96E/oneBash
expect "*password*:"
send "miner1\r" '
sleep 6

expect -c 'spawn sudo ldconfig /usr/local/cuda/lib64
expect "*password*:"
send "miner1\r" '
sleep 6

screen -m -t name_of_your_window bash '/media/m1/1263-A96E/oneBash'

Let me know how this goes.

Edit: for other members to install screen press f12 and rightclick to open a new tab if guake terminal is cpumining

then enter:

sudo apt install screen

press enter

then enter:

miner1

@machiavellious Which image did you use for that specific motherboard?

I'm using nvOC v0014 on this motherboard, which is working flawlessly aside from the ethernet problem, but I've spent less than 30 minutes troubleshooting.
I currently have this rig running with four msi gaming x 1070s, and am using the USB drives that fullzero recommended, the 64gb one also works quite well.

I'm liking the os!
Took me awhile of editing onebash to work on nicehash
Other than that it's solid so far!

Personally I don't use Nicehash, but I'm sure alot of members do; if you provide me with your oneBash changes I will implement them as a coin section in the next oneBash to make nicehash use easier for new members.

How can we limit the number of cores on CPU mining?

Find this area in oneBash:

if [ $plusCPU == "YES" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/cpuOPT/cpuminer'
XMRADDR="$XMR_ADDRESS.$XMR_WORKER"
guake -r $HCD -e "$HCD -a cryptonight -o $XMR_POOL -u $XMRADDR -p x"
fi

on this line:

guake -r $HCD -e "$HCD -a cryptonight -o $XMR_POOL -u $XMRADDR -p x"

add -t before the "

for example for 3 threads I would change it to:

guake -r $HCD -e "$HCD -a cryptonight -o $XMR_POOL -u $XMRADDR -p x -t 3"

and the whole section would then look like:

if [ $plusCPU == "YES" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/cpuOPT/cpuminer'
XMRADDR="$XMR_ADDRESS.$XMR_WORKER"
guake -r $HCD -e "$HCD -a cryptonight -o $XMR_POOL -u $XMRADDR -p x -t 3"
fi

I will add this as an explicit option in the selection area in the next oneBash.

I updated the fully compatible nvOC image for the ASRock H81 PRO BTC or BIOSTAR TB85

nvOC is for fast 16gb or larger USB keys only: I highly recommend using this one: https://www.amazon.com/Lexar-JumpDrive-16GB-Flash-Drive/dp/B00S5V5PMY

Note amazon lowered the price of the 16gb ones back down to $8 so they are the best to get again now for nvOC:

This image includes plusCPU setting to enable cpuminer-opt to mine XMR while mining another COIN with the GPUs; I have done this across all my rigs for over a week and half now. Wink

cpuminer-opt is compiled for a G1840 CPU in this image.

To recompile for a different cpu:

Quote

press f12 to open the guake terminal

enter the command:

hey fullzero have you made a amd distro of your os yet?
id like to give it a try

I have had a lot of pm's about this. The recent Windows 10 update seems to have caused problems for a lot of miners. Many members have requested an amd version, so I will make one first; then make the monitor / push app after.

I could probably have something useable with power, clock, and fan adjustment settings by the end of next week; if you want to try the version I made yesterday with just the basic driver (NO power, clock, or fan adjustment settings) I can upload that one for you to try out tonight.

i will test anything you throw at me
just pm me with anything you want me to test

Uploading image now, probably 2 hours before its done (upload is slow).

Notes on amdOC_Beta:

This build requires either a dummyplug or monitor to be attached to the primary gpu during boot.

This build is for USB keys only. You can use any 16gb or larger usb; but I highly recommend using this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T61JM4E

supports these coin selections:

ZEC ZCL MUSIC ETC EXP ETH DCR PASC
DUAL_ETC_DCR DUAL_ETC_PASC DUAL_ETC_LBC
DUAL_EXP_DCR DUAL_EXP_PASC DUAL_EXP_LBC
DUAL_ETH_DCR DUAL_ETH_PASC DUAL_ETH_LBC
DUAL_MUSIC_DCR DUAL_MUSIC_PASC DUAL_MUSIC_LBC

supports manual fan setting: NOTE speed is from 150 to 255

If you use MANUAL_FAN ensure that you set the speed to at least 150 or you may damage your cards

plusCPU is included. Currently compiled for a G1840; can be easily compiled for another cpu by entering 2 commands into the guake terminal.

amdOC_Beta_v0100 image link is up

Mmmmm something todo tonight!!

Have you tried disabling and then enabling the ethernet?

Yeah I tried this and a few others things, but to no avail. I only have one of these 990fxa-ud3 so it's no big deal to use wifi.
I keep sayng I'm going to troubleshoot when the rig needs a reboot, but I've yet to need one; nvOC has truely been set it and forget it thusfar.

@machiavellious Which image did you use for that specific motherboard?

I can't know for sure which he used, but I would try this one:

for an ASRock H81 PRO BTC or BIOSTAR TB85 use this image

OK thanks
