Version 2.2.0 have now a default intensity of 15. On my system I can get much higher hashrates with 16, but this values seems to be too high for some systems. To make TT-Miner working on most system I reduced this value down to 15. As a result I strongly recommend that you at least try an intensity of 16 or even more to get higher hashrates (command line: -i 16). This if for MTP only!

Miner madest reported that he gets very good results with grid size of 10240 and a core OC of 50. He gets 3.67 MH/s with his 1080Ti @ PL 85%, core 90, mem 0.

To specify this setting please add -gs 10240 to your command line - and please do not forget to remove the intensity option, this will not work together with -gs.

Hi,

I have changed the default intensity down to 15. That works for others - maybe you want give it a try. Please just reload the version - I didn't change the version number for this change.

Please let me know if that works now for you.

Thanks

well for my 5 gpu rig pagefile usage haven't changed in new build it uses around 31.5gb pagefile on 55gb ssd partition with 4XGTX1080 and 1XGTX1080Ti using 2x2 gb ddr3 ram and celerion g1840 cpu

1. -log option                    =>  
2. hashrate improvements  =>  
    (-i 16/17 for both 1070 & 1080 GPUs)

Yes, I think that is related to the higher number of threads that is used by default. That brings higher hashrate on my system. If you have limited drive space you can reduce intensity by 1. That should reduce the memory requirements of the driver somewhat. Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks for your report. Yes I have changed the way I calculate intensities. This addresses mixed rigs with different GPUs. They have now much better hashrates by default.
Good that you have higher hashrates as well, so it is not limited to my 1070

i'm testing it now, this new build uses different intensity and grid size vs TT-Miner-2.1.19, now default intensity is only 16 but grid size increased in quite big amount, older build had around 4000 now it has 10000-11000 according gpu you're using 1080 less 1080Ti more, i haven't changed cpu intensity, hashrate is higher than before :

do you think increasing default grid size is good idea and it will help to maintain higher hashrates in longer periods?, i had 14.3mh/sec in TT-Miner-2.1.19 now i have 14.8mh/sec of course if it can keep such hashrates in 24 hour period without dropping shares, i will keep testing it and report results and pool average daily hashrates as well, in TT-Miner-2.1.19 i had around 16mh/sec daily hashrate in mintpond, let's see if new build will be better, by the way newer build responsivness is much slower than older build using default settings, well miner need more time to submit shares, but overall it's pool side average hashrate that matters and if new build will be more effective than older build than new modifications was necessary, let's see how it works in longer periods in terms of stability using different intensity and grid sizes than older build

With 110GB Virtual Memory last version is not working on rigs 4x 1080ti 2x 1070ti with default settings, it's disabling few gpus all the time

New release 2.2.0 is available.

Release notes:
   - Fixed a bug when mining to P2Pool (Lary2Rev3/Vertcoin).
   - Fixed a bug that shows too high hashrates if the intensity is very high. The new version can
   - handle high intensities and grid sizes. However, if you choose intensities that are very high
   - you will see the hashrate dropping quite fast - and end up at levels that you can see with lower
   - intensities. You should always prefer lower intensities to get a better overall experience.
   - TT-Miner checks all 12 hours for a new release. If a new version is available it will print a
   - short notice and the release notes of the latest available release, repeating all 4 hours. You
   - can switch this information off if you add -nui (no update info) to the command line.
   - New command line options:
        -log and -logpool accepts a filename with fill path now. If you omit the filename TT-Miner
            creates standard filenames and will create a new file for each day.
        -PP INT     process priority, this option set the process priority for TT-Miner to a different level:
           1=low, 2=below normal, 3=normal, 4=above normal, 5=high. Default: -PP 3
        -PRHRI INT  performance-report hash-rate interval.
           specify the timeframe for the average of the hashrate. Default: -PRHRI 2
        -nui        no update information. Do not print notifications for new releases.

I see here on my system also some hashrate improvements for ProgPoW and MTP, but it may be my 'overoptimized' system. So I do not know if you will see this improvements as well. I see them at default settings ( default intensity and default grid size).

Please let me know if you run into any issues.

Happy mining.

hi, already upload the log file.

but not sure this time why crash (no sure is disconnection or nounce bug or other unknown bug) since my mining rig hang.

Ah - got it. I hope your rejected rate with TT is not that high? Anyway I can add a switch to set the miner to a higher priority in the next release.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply!  No I actually want to prioritize the miner above other system processes.  I found that on cryptodredge this was helpful, as setting the miner's CPU priority at max level actually made the hash rate a little better as well as resulted in less rejected shares.  Probably just from less switching between processes for CPU.  Would be awesome if it helped the same way here.  If it's relatively easy to implement, it would definitely add value!!  Let us know if you think its possible

IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

Hi,

I got information that there is a virus the uses the name TT-Miner. I strongly recommend that you use only a TT-Miner that comes from a secure source. I store all releases on this server:

https://TradeProject.de/download/Miner/

this is the link that points ALWAYS to the most current release.
https://TradeProject.de/download/Miner/TT-Miner.zip

Please compare the hash!
SHA-256: 0cb65d3807fbcf07c8a31084c146e70afd4d987fca3712c0ad730649a7e6d59c

And make sure to check the file with Virustotal or any other virus checker!

If you get the package from someone else please be careful.

Also:
   There is NO Mac version available!
    TT-Miner is not a CPU miner!

Here are the links that find this TT-Miner virus - I'm not sure if they are reliable - or even containing the virus?

https://topvirusclearner.com/2019/03/delete-tt-miner-exe-cpu-miner/

So please be very careful!

ok, will try. will inform you when bug occur.

i tried all the combinations, my rig give highest average 24 hours hashrates with intensity 20, when you're mining on mintpond apart network difficulty you should check average pool luck as well during that period,it's combination of both that give higher or lower zcoins earning daily, for example i got 0.64 zcoins yesterday with better luck and higher diff, even higher than whattomine calculator said, but today i got lower earning 0.62 zcoins vs 0.69 whattomine calculator, that's because luck was much higher than yesterday 85% vs 107 today

Yes, but please remind this hashrate bug for high intensities.

On pool I see usually half of the hashrate reported from the miner, but the mined coins are OK I guess. My card is watercooled and never exceeds 42 C.

I'm afraid it is way too high. On the other hand I can only guessing since I have 1060 and 1070 only. So I cannot not be sure. If you get this high hashrate stable I'm happy for you!  So please report if it drops or if you see other hashrates at pool. Anyway I fixed that bug in the hashrate calculation for these high intensities - that will be part of the next release. I'm afraid that you high hashrate will disappear with the new version ;-(

I was using 25 intensity.

If you see the same hashrate @ pool and miner that's a good indication. Please do that over a longer time and check. I got a report of wrong hashrates if intensity is set too high. So please check your speed with the speed you see at the pool. I will release a fixed version later today.

Hope the miner & pool keeps the high hashrate
