Ah ok. Yea I was trying to dual boot with it on my windows SSD. Guess I'll have to buy another SSD

I use it in dual-boot with windows with no kind of issue, you have to burn the old non-shrinked image so that it will not auto-expand. If you have not installed windows yet, burn nvOC first, then install windows on the second partition, then restore grub in the mbr of the drive and from nvOC let grub detect the windows install as a second boot option. As an alternative you can sue windows boot manager do manage dual-booting, i.e. leaving windows boot loader in the mbr and adding nvOC as BCD record.

If you already have windows installed, just dd the main partition only from the image (you need to mount the raw disk as loopback device and dd the right /dev/loopbackX to unallocated ssd space), then create missing boot records in your favorite bootloader.

Another viable option would be to just installa a standard dual boot from ubuntu live media, install all needed packages and clone the nvOC git repo in your ~ directory.

It all depends on your noob level :-) (but please, avoid buying a second ssd for that, in the worst case you can enable raid in your motherboard controller such that you see two separate full drives)

Does anybody know why auto switching are not working well when using remote bash?
I mean is not showing the correct current mining coin and the correct selected auto switch coins...

Thank you damNmad that did the trick. Cheesy

It is that simple that i feel kind of embarassed. Should have found it myself. But i do have a question following this.

All my rigs are running again with var diff (cpu and gpu´s) under nvOC 2.0 after eliminating the worker address from 0main and 3main but these rigs did work under nvOC 19 1.4 so you guys put that code into the two files for the community release. But right after updating from 1.4 to 2.0 i tried several etn mining pools and got the same result everytime. So for mining etn should the worker address stay in 0main and 3main?

In other words am i the only one experiencing this mistake while mining etn or is it a mistake that the worker address is added in 0main and 3main for etn mining?

Your user name resembles fullzero (it should be halfzero instead of hallzero Cheesy

).

Yeah, these are very minor things, but they are easy for me because of my experience.

Coming to your question, its hard to create a single template covering/satisfying/working all the pools and coins, but we tried to cover most of the scenarios (not sure its 100% legit but at least I can find the bug quickly by comparing).

So, in 1.4 version all the all the mining code used to be in 3main, but from 2.0 version it has been split between 0miner and 3main.

0miner covers all the coins, where as 3main covers overclocking (not 100% sure), CPU mining, all the coin/algo switching code.

Its not just you, it was like that in the release, has been fixed in the upcoming release.

Yes i am sorry for the username, hope nobody is offended. I joined the forum as a newbie to cryptos before i found out about nvOC so i didn´t know. But then again it should not be halfzero but instead zerozero so that we would have fullzero as the legendary knowledgeable creator and me as the total newbie.

As for the question, so i thought i did ask just for understanding. For etn mining we could add the workername by using a "+" instead of the "."

That works using the cryptonight pools on etn but i do not know whether that works with other coins out there, my rigs are too small, so i am just mining two coins

Hahaha don't be sorry bruv, I don't think any one will get offended by your name, i was just expressing it in a funny way

Yep, you only asked for explanation, but I have answered in general perspective.

Can you please give an example, illustrating the above statement, sorry i didn't quite get that to be honest.

So, this as well just a general explanation (not just for you but for any new miners to understand) of how actually 1bash, 0miner or 3main works.

We add all the coin details and they are stored/attached to variables.

We call those variables in 3main or 0miner and shape them up according to how pool expects.

We follow the same procedure for every single coin.

Feel free to ask any further questions you have.

I will try to catch up this month:

Thanks for the community edition: papampi , kk003, damNmad, leenoox and meligo

Rebuilding the community edition using the vBASIC image as a starting point might be a good idea.

Let me know.

vBASIC is linked on the OP.

I am using nvOC with a lot of pleasure - great job. Also thanks to all the other members.

@papampi, thanks for the update script.
I have one question, maybe it was already answered but i couldnt find ...
We have a lot of miner software in the OS build. Is there any overview, which miner servers best with witch algo?
Für Claymore or zcash miners its quite clear, but there are so many derivates of ccminer, so i really get lost which derivate serves good for which algo.
Would be great if somebody has such an overview.
thanks.

I think it's best that you first try out nvOC default miners and compare it with others or whattomine reported hashrates.
Then start playing with OC, power limit and changing miners in 0miner.

You can give it a try on USB stick if you have a spare one, most 16 GB sticks should work. However, I strongly suggest SSD as USB sticks are not ment for such operation.

If you're using Windows you need to use HDDRawCopy.

Open HDDRawCopy > Select the img > Select SSD > Start

Use HDDRawCopy as romajc suggested. The image includes grub bootloader and has two partitions. It doesn't play well when installed on separate partition, it will take whole media and create it's own partitions. No dual boot, backup your data first and dedicate whole SSD to it.

@urnzwy and @leenoox

I'm not sure that KTccminer-cryptonight ccminer is the best cryptonight miner we have.

I think we could try xmr-stak. xmr-stak GPU has good performance for XMR, but i don't knox if it's permit to mine another coin than XMR and AEON. I recently discovered that psychocrypt and Klaust added AEON and a very usefull assistant for newbies for generates somes config files for both GPU and CPU. This assistant put 3 core if you CPU have 4 Core and it's make the same with compute units from GPU.
In addition you can modify all config files after automatic assitant generates them in the same folder.
I tried it on Windows but not at least on Linux.
Remmember that on Linux, you can set fee to 0%, but you must compile it on you machine, not on windows that is 2% by default and you can't compile it.

Unified All-in-one Monero miner

GitHub : https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak

Github Releases : https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak/releases

psychocrypt released this on 22 Dec 201

Sorry for my bad airport globish. I try without translator but ...

I double that. I am using XMR STAK unified on two windows machines and the miner gives me good results.

I did change the coin from monero to etn in the config.txt file but the miner didn´t like it and would exit. But i am still able to mine etn by just adding my address and the pool to the config file, so that means that XMR STAK is able to mine other coins besides monero and aeon as long as you stay with the cryptonight algo. I did not do a complete comparison between my miners on Linux and on Windows but it seems to me that (as far as cryptonight algo is concerned) XMR STAK gives me a slightly better hashrate than KTccminer-cryptonight we have in nvOC.

Hi all,

Trying to switch to nvOC v0019-2.0 but I have some errors and I'm unable to run a miner.

Here is my log.

In advance thanks for your help.

Have you made any edits to 1bash file? Seems it's not happy with the format of it.

I would be better if you paste your 1bash here.

It seems your 0miner, 1bash and 3main are somehow corrupted. Try to reimage.

P.S. Please enclose long post within CODE formatting. Click on the # icon to post long code.

Thanx for your answers damNmad and leenox.

After 3 downloads of the image and 3 reimages, mining 1 coin working nicely now

I need to experiment multiple coins mining during this week-end.

P.S. : welcome back to fullzero ... hope all is ok.

Great that you've got it working.
If you need help with mining settings feel free to bug damNmad. He is the master of all coin settings Wink

Hi guys,

as a newbie to linux i have to thank all developers for their work. Thank you guys and please don´t stop, if you did, you would leave people like me hanging in the cold.

A problem i encountered with the new community release version 2.0 is the following.

If i try to connect any of my rigs (doesn´t matter whether nvidia or amd cards) to any etn pool (doesn´t matter as well which pool it is) nvOC uses KTccminer as the miner but once i connect the pool always sets the difficulty at 19, exactly at 19 and this repeats no matter what rig i connect to what etn pool. I had all rigs running under 19. 1.4 and everything was good, now i can´t connect to any of the etn pools.

Any suggestions?

It uses 'KTccminer-cryptonight'

Can you paste result of this command (type in guake)

Quote

ps aux | grep miner

Paste the result over here.

Can you also paste the ETN coin details you have in 1bash?

Thanks for trying to help this is the result of your command

I also tried to connect to etn.easyhash.io:3631 with the same result, diff gets set at exactly 19 and stays there. I can however set the diff manually by adding it to my etn address as "...address.20000" This works but then the diff stays at that at all times. Once again everything worked fine in 19_1.4

As for the details of my 1bash settings for the etn coin. I have my etn address in there as shown above as well as the port. I use port 3333 for the cpu threads and 7777 for the gpu´s in the rig i am using right now to get back online. There are 4 1050 ti`s in there.

When i look at at the outcome above it adds the diff 1600 for the cpu thread (which i set manually by adding it to 1bash) and it puts my custom worker name right behind the etn address. Seeing this now i just converted back to HOST instead of CUSTOM worker name but that doesn´t help a lot. In that case the diff gets set to 100, stays there and the miner never starts mining. The cpu works but only because i set it manually to a 1600 diff. KTccminer-cryptonight never starts mining even though it shows accepted shares.

Unfortunately i don´t know enough about Linux to get anywhere close to resolving this.

Sorry, it took a while to respond.

Ok, i think i've found the issue.

a) Your cpu miner command :

Quote

/home/m1/cpuOPT/cpuminer -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://pool.etnminers.com:3333 -u etnkEv3h8DxMLSWMBYTmMLfKNgnaQf6k7hGbkEbK6hbeGku69dh8Lm7iihpV4dg3BRXcJFAKfGUaNac isz4bmS6E8HRgEA2cJZ.1600.19_2_ASGT405XE3 -p x -t 3

What pool expecting to see is : It's not expecting to see worker name attached to ADDY.

Quote

/home/m1/cpuOPT/cpuminer -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://pool.etnminers.com:3333 -u etnkEv3h8DxMLSWMBYTmMLfKNgnaQf6k7hGbkEbK6hbeGku69dh8Lm7iihpV4dg3BRXcJFAKfGUaNac isz4bmS6E8HRgEA2cJZ -p x -t 3

Search for this code in 3main;

Quote

if [ $plusCPU == "YES" ] && [ $AUTO_START_MINER == "YES" ]
then

XMRADDR="$XMR_ADDRESS.$XMR_WORKER"

Change

Quote

XMRADDR="$XMR_ADDRESS.$XMR_WORKER"

to this

Quote

XMRADDR="$XMR_ADDRESS

b) Your ccminer command

Go to 0miner, search for these lines

Quote

if [ $COIN == "ETN" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/KTccminer-cryptonight/ccminer'
ADDR="$ETN_ADDRESS.$ETN_WORKER"

Change this

Quote

ADDR="$ETN_ADDRESS.$ETN_WORKER"

to this

Quote

ADDR="$ETN_ADDRESS"

This should work.

Difficulty will vary based on the port you select (most of the stratum pools automatically adjust the difficulty - my suggestion, leave your current port as is), please check the below link for more information :

https://etnminers.com/#getting_started

Thank you damNmad that did the trick. Cheesy

It is that simple that i feel kind of embarassed. Should have found it myself. But i do have a question following this.

All my rigs are running again with var diff (cpu and gpu´s) under nvOC 2.0 after eliminating the worker address from 0main and 3main but these rigs did work under nvOC 19 1.4 so you guys put that code into the two files for the community release. But right after updating from 1.4 to 2.0 i tried several etn mining pools and got the same result everytime. So for mining etn should the worker address stay in 0main and 3main?

In other words am i the only one experiencing this mistake while mining etn or is it a mistake that the worker address is added in 0main and 3main for etn mining?

I will try to catch up this month:

Thanks for the community edition: papampi , kk003, damNmad, leenoox and meligo

Rebuilding the community edition using the vBASIC image as a starting point might be a good idea.

Let me know.

vBASIC is linked on the OP.

Welcome back mate! Glad you are back.
Please give us some more info about this vBASIC version.

P.S. Please include Stubo as developer in the 19-2.0 Community Release as he developed and/or fixed quite a bit of the code and was member of the core developement team of 19-2.0. Thanks.
