Merry Christmas Everyone!!! Ho Ho Ho... Ubuminer v0.80 is here.
Sorry I have been busy lately with patent work in my evening (spare) time and many ugly projects at my day job which have me stressed out. Finally had some time to do this for everyone. Lots of Christmas goodies in the last 2 releases v0.74 and this one v0.08 so I hope this is a big Christmas gift to everyone.
I have added the Electronium (ETN) Miner using the xmr-stak software. Did a ton of additions, fixes and updates in the last 2 builds so here you go:
0.80
2017-12-23
*********************************
-Fixed a nasty (dangerous) bug with the statement that evaluated the FAN setting
-Ensured that if a fan setting was missed or if there was no fan line in the coin file at all that things would still be OK
-The script sets the state of the fan control to 0 (Auto) instead of an actual zero percentage now
-Installed the CUDA repository to the build to allow for many new miners to be used without fuss
-Installed GIT into the build to allow for new miners to be installed from the git repository
-Added the new *** Electroneum Miner *** for Nvidia GPU's ( xmr-stak 2.1.0 31a0784 ) ...This little miner is great and runs on very low power
-It is pre-configured in this version so hopefully it will be Plug-N-Play for you. I will be anxious for feedback on the forum
-I also included 4 different pools in the ETN.coin file for you so you should be up and running in minutes
-Added a line in the ETN.coin file to remove the nvidia.txt, cpu.txt & config.txt before the miner fires
-Did this because if you are making changes to a system (ex: adding GPU Cards) the nvidia.txt can mess you up
-You can comment this line out if you're in production mode and would like to actually tweak these files for better performance
-Added DIFF (Difficulty) setting to the ETN coin file so you can set static difficulty. Comment this line out to use variable difficulty
-When tuning static difficulty for a rig you want to press R (Report) from the running miner and aim for results every 60 seconds
-Further improved the WatchDog script to now monitor for dead GPU states (nvidia-smi shows this)
-When it sees this condition it writes to you WatchDog.log file and then attempts to reboot your rig for you
-The routine works well for me on one of my problematic rigs. I hope it works as well for you
-Added a line to display the date/time in the WatchDog script so you can prevent a conflict if you want to kick mining off manually.
-Had this happen during testing and seeing the date will prevent that in the future.
-Added a line to the CyberPower PowerPanel UPS install script to clean up the install .deb file after the install
0.74
2017-12-14
*********************************
-Fixed the bug that was preventing the miner from starting up on certain systems where it seemed to care about the /etc/ hosts 127.0.1.1 name
-Did this by updating the /etc/ hosts file in addition to the /etc/ hostname file when a user picks a rig name
-Added new functionality to the COIN file fan settings whereby a 0 or 00 in the appropriate FAN column will let the fan for that GPU on AUTO
-A value in the fan column other than 0 or 00 will actually set that GPU's fan to the static manual setting of your choosing 01 - 100%
-Please note that this is the fan speed percentage and not a temp setting
-Added a new WatchDog functionality to the build (shout out to my buddy Spanks for pushing me to do it)
-This is a very simple watchdog the just looks for the miner "screen" to stop and if it has stopped it restarts mining
-Please note this will NOT help you if you have an error on your BUS or a bad riser card or hash is at ZERO (but still mining)
-This only really helps the situation where the pool goes down or your internet connection goes down and the miner stops
-ZEN coin pools seem to have this happen a lot.
-There is a WatchDog.log file in the Mining directory now to show you whenever the WatchDog routine saved your ass -Thank you Spanks!
-Performed a bunch of system updates through aptitude to keep the build up to date and fresh for everyone
