max i can get with 6 rx vegas on cryptonight v7 algo is abuot 8900, on cryptonight heavy i can get 7900 h/s

can anyone help me? i should be getting at least 10,900 maybe a bit more on cryptonight v7 Sad

That is really bad, with srbminer you can go 12000 V7 almost plug and play

1. DDU (use DDU pprogram to remove all your GPU drivers cleanly) and reset the computer
2. Install Adrenaline 18.5.2, click custom install, install ONLY driver, no any other crap. Do not reset computer after installation
3. Apply Vega power tables from vega mining guide
4. Disable crossfire and ULPS in registry on all 6 cards
5. Reset computer
6. Start your new favorite miner with OverdriveNTool settings applied (you can also get them fro mvega mining guide, I use 1408/800 and mem 1100/800 but driver seems to keep them at 0.87V anyway) and enjoy 12000 hashrate

If you are not familiar with any of these steps i recommend you take a break and study it because you probably can´t reliably operate vega mining rig without knowing these steps

how much hash u get for haven using those set up? cuz somehow ive managed to get mine 1400ish per card about 8500 total altogether 1000w from the wall.

for cryptonight v7 i  was able to get 11,600 about 1930-1950 per card but cast XMR keeps crashing every single time like after 15mins (freezes) and stops mining etc.

so far i got the hashrate down and everything lol. mining haven has been stable though (using SRB miner for haven)

Bug in 1.5.9

I tested the max_difficulty:
When reached the value set, program restarted OK but from "CryptonightV7 mode enabled" to "Heating up system" took more than 1 minute.
After that, even restarting Windows, every time I start 1.5.9 it takes more than 1 minute to start, about 1:20
Had to go back to 1.5.8 to have a normal start.

max_difficulty isn't restarting the miner, it's only reconnecting to the pool.

I don't know what happen but now 1.5.9 is taking more than 1 minute to start than 1.5.8
After "CryptonightV7 mode enabled" appears on screen it does nothing, just blinking cursor for more than one minute, before I can see "Heating up system" on screen

More things... Please look a the picture below:

https://fotos.subefotos.com/6320525eaee705ad0afc34beb29870c1o.jpg

I set difficulty to 40000 to test.
You can see at time 02:26:05 pool changes diff to 60000, the soft takes 13 seconds to see the pool diff change, at 02:26:18
OK this is not the important.
Now I press Ctrl+C to close the program, the "Please wait..." appears on screen, CPU usage goes from 0 to 66-67% & the program does not close, I must close from task manager.
This only happens when the max_difficulty command have been executed, if not with ctrl+C the program closes normaly.

Doktor is working on a coin switcher (YAY!), but until then, you can try out this one,
Coin switchers are overrated.
None of them are giving you an edge. There's always going to be somebody who's faster or more powerful than you and will "steal" your blocks from all those useless Yiimp pools. Add to that the fact that you don't get proper market data (you usually only get "last paid price" from the exchanges as opposed to "bids"), and massive latency (hours!) between the moment the switcher decides a given coin is most profitable and the effective time your mined (and matured) coin finally gets exchanged, and the whole exercise is completely ludicrous.

The good trading/switching algos out there are already flattening the market. Look at the various profitability calculators online and check with your hashrate. On average, the profitability difference between the 5 top coins will be within a negligible 5%.

Coin switching has been very necessary for me, I do manual switching though.

I may switch based on just difficulty alone without looking at price so I mine more of a coin, or I may switch to a valuable coin that I convert to BTC. I use this proxy so I'm able to switch coins using my mobile and it's quite inefficient when switching through a remote desktop solution and pressing "p" button to reach the coin you want, only to have your hashrate drop and wait for a few blocks to get it back up.

The automated one I'll try to do will let you decide based on difficulty (do not mine when difficulty is so high), or a combination of difficulty and price, and maybe something in between. I hope Doktor's version also takes account this, sometimes I don't care about the value of the coin, because as you say the price is very hard to determine (Solace, anyone? It switches between 2 or 3 satoshis massively deceiving the profit calculators, however, I just switch to it if I can mine enough of those, not looking at the price) And low hashrate coins are very vulnerable to pile-up's due to coin switching of mass hash-rate sources (nicehash etc.) so you may be getting very little half of the day until powers that be pile up on another coin. The (difficulty) / (weighted exchange rate) approach could be a nice compromise for switching (esp. for low hashrate / per block or small gap  difficulty adjusted coins)



Coin switchers are a meme. Very difficult to properly monitor accurate market data + nethash spikes with low latency.

It seem this miner does not support passing args through cli. It instead require a config file?

On the bottom of the first post, there are some command line arguments. Pool info through cli is a recent addition if you have an old version

Ahh that make sense, i've gotten -h from a recent version. Nice!
I don't see a way to pass it a specific device, though?

  -o, --url URL              pool url and port, e.g. pool.usxmrpool.com:3333
  -O, --tls-url URL          TLS pool url and port, e.g. pool.usxmrpool.com:10443
  -u, --user USERNAME        pool user name or wallet address
  -r, --rigid RIGID          rig identifier for pool-side statistics (needs pool support)
  -p, --pass PASSWD          pool password, in the most cases x or empty ""
  --use-nicehash             the pool should run in nicehash mode
  --currency NAME            currency to mine

Haven switch from Cryptonight Heavy next week to Cryptonight Haven (a slight variation on Heavy to shake Nice Hash influence). It would be nice to add this in now like you have with Stellite V4 so its ready to go at launch.

It will be interesting to see how much the profitability of Haven goes up after that switch... or rather, how much the difficulty goes down once the NiceHash miners are cut off.

I found interesting thing...
As we know 1.5.8 creats srb files every launch... But names of this files differes (they even have different file size) every time. I make suggestion that different speed at mining connected with these different kernels. To achive max mining speed I relaunched 1.5.8 miner many times until it gives me max speed.

1.5.9 version creates srb files only if them absent. But I tried many times relaunch miner with deletion of srb or on the same kernel file. But I can't get max speed... Maybe I just unlucky, or maybe 1.5.9 can't compile best kernel...

After I make next steps:
1. Roll back to 1.5.8. Relaunched them until it gives max speed. Copied last created srb file into backup safe place.
2. Installed 1.5.9. Launched them once to recieve srb file in cache dir.
3. Close miner. Replaced srb file in cache dir from 1.5.9 by srb file created on 1.5.8 giving max speed with the name from file 1.5.9.
4. Voila! Now 1.5.9 have quick launch without recreating srb file and gives max speed everey launch (I hope - I just tries several times).

This can help peoples who have troubles with unstable max speed.

doctor, can it be that 1.5.9 miner can't compile best kernel due to driver issuies or something else?
It's working. Tyvm bro )) Best method  ! )

Hi..

First.. Thanks for this solution!

Question: How can I set "password" for each pool?  (parameter required to use "worker" in each rig)

Could you give me an example?

Don't want to hijack thread, but you set password on the srbminer's own config, it's passed onto the pool. However, if the pool needs special template different from other pools, you can add in the pool currency setting:
"passwordtemplate" e.g.
....
"host":"haven.miner.rocks",
"port":"7777",
"passwordtemplate": "w={%1}"
"url":"https://haven.miner.rocks/",
"api":"https://cryptoknight.cc/rpc/haven",
....

This is yet not documented and this is a new feature not present in the original repo.

If you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact me through direct message..


Guys, windows updated to 1803, everything is down the drain.. Any guidance to get back to mining ?!!!

Doktor is working on a coin switcher (YAY!), but until then, you can try out this one, I forked from an existing project and made some UI enhancements, Pushbullet support, Miner dropdown selection support, and very basic HTTP-auth to add a tiny bit of security when using from external ip.

https://github.com/hesido/cryptonote-proxy


You need to install node.js for this. SRBminer (or any other miner) connects to this proxy and you can switch between coins (or pools for same coin) at the click of a button, and this does not cause any hash rate drops during transition, and you do not have to go through every item in pool list to reach a coin...

edit: I use this to switch coins from my mobile using this, so there's that Smiley I don't have to use team viewer or anything.

If SRB sports an algo change using the job json message, this could in future be used to switch between different algo coins Wink I'm also going to implement coin switching based on difficulty / difficulty + btc value of coin.

Sory kaj pisem na naski al prekomplicirano mi objasnit na engleski Smiley

Nakon  par dana testiranja  evo zakljucka.

Verzija 1.5.8 definitivno radi brze  od 1.5.9

Cak i 1.5.8. ako ne koristis "gpu_conf" : za svaku karticu posebno nikad nece upalit taj veci HR -to je cirka od 30-50 HR po kartici.
Verzija 1.5.9. nikad ama bas nikad nije dala taj veci HR.

Znaci pregledaj zasto verzija 1.5.8. ako zadajes pojedinacne gpu daje veci HR.
 i tada nekad moras 2-3 puta upalit minera al nakon toga daje veci HR

Doktor,

i also have issue to report

goes like this
have 4 rigs, all 4 of them go from xmr stak to srbminer1.5.8
each rig 6x Vega 18.5.2
all 4 rigs run super stable with srbminer
one of the rigs i restart for some reason after like 2000 minutes of uptime
other 3 rigs run for like 3000-3500 minutes of uptime and then all crash at approximate the same time
the miner stopped saying  GPU hashrate 0, restarting miner, but miner could not restart, even by process kill or try to reset PC, it hangs in reset process. Only hard reset help

Why would all miners stop at same uptime? Shocked

Anyway, I reset all so can´t really say what happened or give any more details, but i will monitor this time and see if it happen again

Otherwise, i fell in love with your miner.

i have the same Problem, It got better with windows 1803 and amd driver 18.5.1


now after 3 days, when the gpu Crash, the Windows freeze...

Sometimes on version 1.5.6 with same configs, cards rx550 has hash rate 508 but somtimes 518-520

The same behaviour on 1.5.8-1.5.9

Slow speed http://dl4.joxi.net/drive/2018/06/07/0020/0406/1319318/18/abbdd13a59.jpg

Fast speed on the same rig, but one card very slow.  http://dl3.joxi.net/drive/2018/06/07/0020/0406/1319318/18/7eeafe8096.jpg

This behaviour start from 1.5.6 version. Is it possible to run always on fast speed ))

Hi, there may be a problem configuring for Electroneum pools. Everything seems to go ok but no shares are ever found.
Miner never reports submitting a share and pools never display receiving any.

Baz

:Edit, why is it immediately after posting the solution comes to you!
You have to specify --algo 1

:Edit again, nope still not right, works on Cryptoknights pool but not Spacepools


there is no --algo parameter in SRBMiner, i think you are in the wrong thread lol

I got that all wrong, as you say you dont need --algo in SRBminer.
So its probably a Spacepools problem as Cryptoknight pool works and they dont

Spacepools just started to mine on main net again. They were mining empty blocks until this morning (so was MPH and probably a majority of other pools). They seem to have switched back to mining on the proper chain now so you should give it another go.

This is within the last hour Im getting these issues
