Topic: [XMR] JCE Miner Cryptonight/forks, now with GPU! - page 99. (Read 90815 times)

Keep cool bro, i cannot know if you're a mining newbie or a IT expert.
The release of Large pages is to be clean, xmrstak doesn't even do it, it just... stops, because Windows comes after to get the Large Pages back (normally). You seem to often run out Large pages, do you mine on a dedicated rig or normal PC ? A simple way is to start JCE immediately after the PC has booted, because other apps like browsers or databases try to get the Large Pages. And their amount is scarse and not configurable, unlike on Linux.


Ok, let's do the simplest way :
1. Unzip the linux package somewhere on your hard disk
2. Open a console, go to the directory where you unzipped
3. run
where you replace POOL, PORT and WALLET by yours, and avoid SSL ports for simplicity, example:
(here the wallet is dummy of course)

sorry if it sounds trivial, but i prefer being very explicit.

and the miner will run at IDLE, no need for new code

i guess that's MiningPoolHub: i switched it to v7 by default in 0.29, and yeah that's like FORK=3
On any new mining session, always wait a few minutes to check the shares are Accepted, and the Pool sees your shares, if not, so that's the FORK to be changed. Explicitely if you get a Rejected Share, stop the miner and change the FORK.
i'm creating a test account on MPH to test, i usually do my tests rather on Nicehash

edit:
hoo, what a crappy pool that MPH, i spent ages to get that the workername is mandatory (while it's optional everywhere else)... 
just login was painful
so it works, but the difficulty is 500k, which is ridiculously huge for a CPU. It takes a lot of time just to get one share.
just works. (the account exists but don't mine on it, it's a test account)

I ran your miner yesterday on mph with option set FORK=0 for long time
set FORK=0 i got nothing very small return

today i changed set FORK=3 it looks like it is working better we will see new version is working for me in the senc that i can stop it and restart and gives no errors now

Hello,
I am using task scheduler to run miner at idle and your technique with attrib makes problem: scheduler kill main process but mining is continue with attrib.
Can you make some option to avoid using attrib?

how to edit and run start.sh

i can use xmr-stak but i want to use JCE but it is different from xmr-stak.

Thanks i have been doing this for 30 years i think it looks like when i hit q quit your script  releases 2 cores cache instead of 4, then when i restart its only enabling 2-3  cores cache and i get the error.Mine is enable Locked Pages is enabled i also use awesome miner i can cheek if it is enabled.Im using 29 ver now looks like is faster but when i open Firefox speed slow down .It could be related to the cpu not recolonized/detected properly.

@siroliver : you probably need to enable Locked Pages in your Windows (that's a system configuration, not a JCE-specific one)
here are some guides:
https://github.com/jceminer/cn_cpu_miner#large-pages

Also on Windows 7 (and 8 and 8.1 ) better run as admin, with the run_admin.bat, or add parameter --elevate

Crash at starup when reading config. If it starts, so all is good, no impact on mining speed or results, hence why i flagged 0.29 a minor revision.

Impressive diagnostic!   thanks, will be fixed in next release.

Autoconfig issue
On 4core 6mb cache cpu (i5 7600k)

ipbc (variant 6) creates 1 cached thread with multi_hash 2, and 3 cached threads without multi_hash, practically wasting 1mb of cache


litev7 (variant 4), with same scratchpad size of 1mb, correctly creates 2 threads with multi_hash 2, and 2 without multi_hash

confirmed hashrate increase from 880h/s to 950 h/s

what was the expression of this bug and what it could affect, in more detail?

I run win 7 64bit ultimate 2600k 16gb ram
Failed to allocate 2 mb cache large page buffer running jce_cn_cpu_miner.027e 64bit i can find log file

here is my start.bat

Thanks
also mine did not detect my 64 bit cpu i had to modify it and mine is not showing how many items it found .

siroliver: i'd need more info to understand your problem, JCE version and error log at least.

igotek: JCE is close source, like Claymore. nothing to build, just download Linux version, unzip, edit start.sh to put in your wallet/pool and run it

how to make autogen your miner in linux ?

mine works ok but has a n error releasing huge page memory when i hit q shows released next time i start it gets error i lodged off in logged back in sometime that helps but not now

0.29 online - minor revision

Update: I looked at your fork, and... it goes too far. You redefined everything, including the nonce, the nicehash mode (that you removed), the blobsize, the Valide Share criteria, the endianness... it would need a whole dedicated netcode just for that coin, and i cannot make such a big change.
So i cancel support of Webchain coin. If you re-align your coin to Cryptonight convention, like the nonce at byte 39, i'll add it, but not with your current algo.

I note the xmrig fork you did at
https://github.com/webchain-network/webchain-miner
cannot mine any other coin than yours, so you know the problem : it's overcomplicated to support both normal Cryptonight and your variations.

edit: 0.29 done, now testing
changes :
backport Linux fixes to Windows version
new fork and new coin: Artocash

Not that diffucult, rather pretty boring, but planned, as low priority.
The linux version comes with a .sh that's the exact same as the .bat of windows versions.

Current dev is to add ArtoCash and Webchain forks (ho jeez, every coin has its own fork now, JCE supports 11 of them, it's flooding my assemblies).
I'll also update the documentation to make the cpu fine-tuning better documented.

JCE-Miner
With the release of a Linux version now have the time to create a version with a config file? I think it is not difficult to do. 

i've chosen not to support proxies, it would be too easy to embedd jce into trojan/botnets. that's the choice Claymore did, and i'll go the same way.
you can mine alone on your pool, a sort of solomine, but it must be a real pool on real internet.

it will double the h/s, configurations are key && only improving over the years of machine code

// never settle for basic stock settings, everything can be fine tuned && or improved (just because it is not broken does not mean it cant improve)
// even when you do something 100 times, the process will only git what path of steps taken (shortest path to transform one word into another = algorithms) && elevate like the present future of change

wallet deamon, so i can solo ?
and have a plan to add pointing with proxy ? i use this proxy https://github.com/sebseb7/cryptonote-proxy so i can switch to another coin without restart my miner

here's how to enable Huge Pages
https://wiki.debian.org/Hugepages#Enabling_HugeTlbPage

there's no "sudo" mode in jce like --elevate under linux, config must be done once by the user/admin
