It won't trigger the watchdog. When you increase the intensity gpu samples take longer time to complete and the average is only calculated if you have enough samples. We could let the average be calcuted of the existing samples but then the speed will trottle in the beginning.

Reducing mem clock on 3070 did the trick.
I found this annoying bug: starting the miner, on some cards, it takes some time before showing the average hashrate.
Seeing some cards at 0MHs could trigger watchdog and reboot rig.

Is it possible to fix that?

reduce the clocks and or increase power on gpu4. --xintensity 1024 is fine with miningpoolhub. Stales are rewarded 100%, so stale count doesn't matter

I switched to 100GH port but still got too many stales (xintensity at 1024 at the moment):

I'm thinking to try MiningPoolHub, is it OK to keep xintensity to 1024 for this pool?

Don't know what to do...

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

You are using port 4444 on flexpool which is 4GH if you use high intensity switch to port 14444 which is 100GH.
If not, you will get too many stale shares..

---

Do you have 2 instances of the miner running on the same computer? Find the option to switch off the api, or change the api port

---

This is an issue in windows 10 if you mark text in the commandline window, the app will stop mining. f.ex by rightclicking in it.

Has nothing to do with the version number.

---

I suggest that you report issues on our github

https://github.com/sp-hash/TeamBlackMiner/issues

4 open, 53 closed.


The watchdog has been completed in v1.14. If a gpu crash because of high oc and don't report hashrate in 3 minutes, the watchdog will restart the thread.
This will improve the performance on rigs with "has timed out" messages.

Every time the EPOC changes, TBMiner have to recalculate the DAG buffer.
If the rig is tuned too high clocks, v1.00 - v1.13 could crash with "has timed out" messages.

When I start the miner I always got these warnings, is it normal?

1-2 times 1.13 got lagging, so no new entry to see, gpu temp also show no mining because its cold. Faith enter helped.
So go back to 1.11 same if you mark something in the miner, or slide up with the bar and hold there. It seems after Enter it starts again, and gpu temp is raising.
Hope you understand my bad english

Core lock? Increase the Temp limit so the cards don't trottle.

The cpu usage in 1.09 is increasing the hashrate with 1-2% on low intensity but using too much power to be justified. We can add a flag --cpu-mining in the next version.

If you use 1.09 with --xintensity you have to multiply by 4 to compare the two versions.

---

Looks good with no calculated stale shares. The most important is how is the payout / poolside reward?

Try with --xintensity 1408

---

On flexpool you should mine on the high difficulty port.

Why don't you try out 10 intensities and check yourself?

What hashrate are you getting with rtx 3080 --xintensity 1200 ?

Amd cards works best with lower --xintensities than NVIDIA


[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

Which xintensity should I set on Flexpool for the following cards to get the best performances?

• NVIDIA RTX 3080 and 3070 (not LHR)
• AMD RX 6800 and 6800 XT

Thanks.

Same here, if gpu is limited by tdp, any version after 1.09 will be much slower compared to any other miners. Only with core-lock 1.10 and newer will be as fast as 1.09. What i dont like in 1.09 - high cpu usage.

In the later versions on Nvidia you need to multiply the xintensity by 4 (cuda 11.4 build)

1.09: rtx 3080 --xintensity 300... ​109MHASH
1.13: rtx 3080 --xintensity 1200... 109MHASH

We nerfed it because of too many stale shares and poor results on some pools.

Still use 1.09 with better results than latest versions

Thanks for the explanation.

I updated the xintensity to 352 and currently mining on miningpoolhub.com.

Will provide results in the next 8-10 hours.

Scroll a few pages back and look at the pictures.
Miningpoolhub pay 100% for stale shares so it doesn't matter. 2miners, nanopool, wollypooly 100% as well.
ezil.me 70% , hiveon.com 80%.

Flexpool, ethermine, nicehash, binance pay 0%. So the configuration of the mining software needs to be changed accordingly

Note that the ethereum blockchain rewards stale work/blocks. They are called uncle blocks. The uncle blocks are protecting the security of the blockchain.

For bitcoin based blockchains stale work is not rewarded and not needed.

Is there a thread link to this suggestion?

Also, would that increase more stale shares submitted since we are increasing the xintensity?

On miningpoolhub try --xintensity 352 (suggested by one of the other users)

---

We are making a watchdog to be able to detect gpu's that are hanging / timed out. Hopefully done in v1.14




[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

Is xintensity 224 still recommended for nvidia cards mining on miningpoolhub?

On the 5500XT try --xintensity 24, no stales poolside, lower power
