@fullzero I see you listed compatible mobo's in the OP.  The board in the rig I am about to put new GPU's in is an ASRock Anniversary.  Any ideas if that will be compatible with this image?  Also will the image fit on an 8gb usb drive?  Thanks.

musicoin pool  I am using here  http://213.154.202.174:3330/   This is mostly used http://nomnom.technology/#/

zclassic We are not digging yet zclassic for https://suprnova.cc/ available.

here is a new oneBash with MUSIC and ZCL

I used MC POOL http://213.154.202.174:3330/ for the default MUSIC pool, as you said this is what you use.

I used zcl.coinmine.pl https://www2.coinmine.pl/zcl/index.php for the default ZCL pool, as it has good reviews.



Thank you...

How can i add musicoin and ZClassic.
How can I add any coin...

If a coin uses the same client/algo as another; then you can set oneBash to that coin and replace its address / pool:port / worker with the information for the desired coin.

I believe that Musicoin is Ethash and thus can be mined with Claymore.  You should be able to set oneBash to ETH , and set the ETH address / pool:port / worker to your Musicoin info.  If you tell me what pool you use for Musicoin; I will test this out for you tonight and post a oneBash with an additional MUSIC preset.

I believe that Zclassic is Equihash and thus can be mined with EWBF.  You should be able to set oneBash to ZEC, and set the ZEC address / pool / port / worker to your Zclassic info.  If you tell me what pool you use for Zclassic; I will test this out for you tonight and post a oneBash with an additional ZCL preset.

I feel somewhat bad that you took the trouble to answer in such lengthy fashion.
I did not formulate my question in the right way.
The fact is I do not want to use onebash functionality.
I want to use nvOC because its fully stocked with all that is needed to start mining.
I want to overclock and set power limits myself in the OS itself.
So, the question is, how do I  bypass Onebash and do stuff the oldfashioned way?

With no changes; you can simply close the gnome terminal that auto launches on boot and then press f12 to open the Guake terminal and enter whatever cmds you wish.

You can replace the oneBash contents with whatever you want to do; it is a bash script set to launch on boot.

If you want oneBash to not autolaunch on boot you can either edit the bash script located in the home folder named: 2unix removing or commenting out the line that launches oneBash.

Alternatively you could change the gnome terminal default profile back to: Unnamed

Either of these would prevent any autolaunch on boot.

ello guvna,
i have been trying to compile tpruvots ccminer on kubuntu 16.04 to no avail
how did you compile it?
did you use cuda 7.5?
there are dozens of guides and each one is different from the other and results in different errors

I used cuda 8.0.  There are a lot of dependencies for ccminer, which you have to either know what they are and where to find and install them, or look each one up and install them.  You also have to add a few lines in some of the files to ensure that you are building for 6x card support / the coins you want to use are supported.  Dev's of the new branches could make an updated guide for compiling to make all of this easier.

also, i would like to give nvOC a test drive
do I need to configure anything in onebash before I boot it?

See the OP; I added an image of the default oneBash, also made a demo video.  

A lot of this may be obvious; but oneBash is an actual Bash Script so syntax must be upheld with changes.

oneBash defaults to:

mining ZEC

    change: COIN="ZEC" to COIN="LBC" to mine LBRY or COIN="ETC" to mine ETC or COIN="DUAL_ETC_LBC" to mine dual ETC/LBRY ect...

using a powerlimit of 125 on all cards

note pl can be above TDP as well

    change: POWERLIMIT="YES" to POWERLIMIT="NO" if you want to use stock TDP

If you want to change the powerlimit go to the area:

if [ $POWERLIMIT == "YES" ]
then
sleep 6
#change powerlimit by changing the number after -pl to the desired wattage
expect -c 'spawn sudo nvidia-smi -pl 125
expect "*password*:"
send "miner1\r" '
sleep 6
fi

and change the last number in this line to your desired powerlimit: expect -c 'spawn sudo nvidia-smi -pl 125 to expect -c 'spawn sudo nvidia-smi -pl 100
for a 100 watt powerlimit

    change: INDIVIDUAL_POWERLIMIT="NO" to INDIVIDUAL_POWERLIMIT="YES" if you want to use the individual per card powerlimits

then go to the area below if [ $INDIVIDUAL_POWERLIMIT == "YES" ] and find the line:

expect -c 'spawn sudo nvidia-smi -i 0 -pl 125
for the first card

expect -c 'spawn sudo nvidia-smi -i 1 -pl 125
for the second card

ect...

using a core overclock of 100 on all cards

using a memory overclock of 100 on all cards

    change: INDIVIDUAL_CLOCKS="NO" to INDIVIDUAL_CLOCKS="YES" if you want to use the individual per card OC

Using auto fan speed

    change: MANUAL_FAN="NO"  to MANUAL_FAN="YES" if you want to use manual fans, then change: FAN_SPEED=85 to the desired percent

ewbf donation percent of 0

and my workers / addresses / nanopool for us-east
(replace with your own for each coin you plan on mining)
ensure you don't remove the ""
for example if I was using;

t1RcrtTsgrTLarjjWfJDvRFY1pMEjWz96M3 for my ZEC address
zec-eu1.nanopool.org for my pool with port 6666
and worker1 as my worker name I would replace the default:

ZEC_WORKER="nvOC"
ZEC_ADDRESS="t1XfkZUZWME8FnRiFxHZQAQ2K1UdQMbshJp"
ZEC_POOL="zec-us-east1.nanopool.org"
ZEC_PORT="6666"

with:

ZEC_WORKER="worker1 "
ZEC_ADDRESS="t1RcrtTsgrTLarjjWfJDvRFY1pMEjWz96M3"
ZEC_POOL="zec-eu1.nanopool.org"
ZEC_PORT="6666"

Can i use your OS for mixed GPU rig - RX480 and 1080ti ?
I would like to run both on Claymore ETH miner.
Thanks

You would have to install the AMDGPU-PRO driver first.  I haven't tried a mixed Nvidia / AMD on linux.

If you want to test it out yourself; download the Ubuntu 16.04 version here:
http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Radeon-GPU-PRO-Linux-Beta-Driver%E2%80%93Release-Notes.aspx

open a standard terminal: press f12

follow AMD instructions for install.  I would follow this portion: as you don't need all the Ubuntu updates.



IMO a mixed Nvidia / AMD would never be as stable as a pure rig; but I have seen a lot of members post about mixed rigs.

I will install the AMDGPU-PRO myself and test a mixed Nvidia / AMD rig later; probably won't have time to try this out until next week.


that will be great and appreciate the efforts fullzero

Is this os completely sustainable on its own?
Like I mean burn plug and mine?
I don't need to mess with the interface once the USB is setup?

If you use one of the fully supported motherboards, currently:

ASRock H81 PRO BTC,  BIOSTAR TB85,  MSI Z270-A PRO (in stock)

then yes; it is essentially:

burn, configure oneBash (or replace the one on the usb with one you have already configured), plug and power on.


If you are using an untested motherboard; most likely all the cards will be recognized and mining will automatically start: however their may be slight differences which cause the xorg file to not properly enable OC on all the cards.  This may be hard to notice without directly connecting a monitor and inspecting the mining process.  If using an untested motherboard, you probably should connect a monitor and ensure everything is working as intended ~6 minutes after initial boot.  If you have a motherboard which doesn't properly enable OC on all the cards; tell me.  For any motherboard commonly used, I will get one myself and provide a fully supported image.   Smiley

Very nice setup.

I can see this doing 1080 ti

With a gold Evga 1600 g2

It will be more costly but if you only have room for 1 rig you could push 3840 hash .

My two Msi 1080 ti do 640 and 642 which is 1282

I posted in thread I think you could do the build with 1080 ti. And push 3800 h

This would cost more but if you could only have 1 unit it would be a monster

I think you could probably get ~4000 sol/s with a 6x 1080ti rig.  Might want to use some active cooling thou.   Smiley

I really want to make one of these; but I only have 2x 1080ti currently, 1 more coming on monday.  Maybe I'll get a battlecruiser eventually.

OP is updated.  

When using an MSI Z270-A PRO; ensure you enable Above 4G memory option in the bios before connecting the nvOC USB.

Example rig:

$90 after rebate Smiley  MSI Z270-A PRO (in stock: 5 per customer at Newegg; also at Amazon)

$120 I recommend spending a little extra on the cpu and getting this Core i3-7100 (it will make the rig a reasonably solid desktop, and will also enable 4 thread +cpu mining in the future).  Ensure you use the promo code:  EMCRFRE24  to save more if you get this.  

$2040 6x ZOTAC mini 1070 ($340 each from Newegg)

$8 Lexar-JumpDrive-16GB USB key

$59  Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR4 ram

$2  ATX power switch

$130 EVGA GQ-1000 psu (Note: If you use this PSU ensure that you always set a powerlimit of at 140 or less as stock TDP will put the PSU at limit: If you don't want to deal with this you can get a EVGA 1300 G2 and never worry about it, but it will cost more.)

$50 or less pm hawkfish007 pcie powered risers 6x pack or via Amazon if you want +$5 more

$150 after shipping Spotswood New model: All aluminum, mining frames for 6-7 GPUs frame via pp
or
make your own frame out of wood or using 8020.net parts and save some $

total $2649

expected hashrate using OC of +200cc and +450mc:

~2600+ sol/s  for 870 watts-at-the-wall @ 125 pl

or

~2700+ sol/s  for 970 watts-at-the-wall @ 140 pl (this is as far as I would push this PSU; I recommend using slightly lower pl: 135 or less with this PSU)

these cards can be set all the way down to 75 pl which is ~1900 sol/s for 550 watts-at-the-wall (I don't recommend this).

1.02 $/hash (hash in sol/s)

So even with a Spotswood frame (very HQ) this rig is only slightly over 1 $/hash (if you use a cheap CPU it can be under 1$/hash with the Spotswood frame)

If you make your own frame out of wood or using 8020.net parts it can also be under 1$/hash but with the Core i3  Wink

I recommend also getting a kill-a-watt to be able to easily glance at your rig and ensure your powerlimit has set correctly after a restart; especially if using the EVGA 1000GQ PSU.

Newegg currently has the BIOSTAR TB85 motherboard in stock 1 per customer:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138436

I have rigs using this motherboard; it is fully compatible with nvOC.

Rarely in stock.  Get one while you can.

These are back in stock again.   Smiley
