0.31 & 0.33 have two problem at my rigs:
--exit-on-zero Not worked, miner continue work with 0 sol at one of cards.
Miner not come back to 1st pool after any minutes and continue work at failover pool.
I am currently looking into this - for some reason the timer is not triggered. Did you disable the long stats? Then its likely not to work atm.
Helloo Dev, Is there a video explanation on how to set it up?
I am new to mining and your miner procedure is kind of difficult to be followed up with.
Any assistance from the community will be highly appreciated.
No, because I consider this to be easy. If you like you only need a mnx address at the moment, edit this instead of user name in the config file and then you are ready to go. At least for 90% of the rigs this will run with 0.31 and later.
1st of all nice project. there are some problems though. as it uses high memory for amd cards i cannot run the whole rig on mnx. So swtich off the other cards using the config file but it still queries the other cards during startup which causes the system to hang i your mining using another miner. It is a hit and miss. On some system it works fine and wont query the other cards but on some it will despite being selected off. Once running it will leave the other cards alone but on start up it will cause the system to hang.
Did you try to increase the virtual memory in your machine as discussed some pages before here? That may help. But overall the problem is known for AMD&Windows. I am currently exploring opportunities to make the miner use less memory consuming on GPU - that will also help for your case. But needs some time since I have to redesign a lot for this.
The cpu load of this coin although high is not a bad thing as long as it is common to all the mining software. It is because of how the design of the algorithm was made. Stability is the main concern. Specially for rigs that cannot run another mining software like claymore to separate the gpu and manage the load from the cpu. The limitations actually offer better decentralization as most cannot run high gpu count mining rigs. It will also help fend of asic miners as the requirement is much more than other algo. A tweak here and there for better performance or lower consumption and more stability is what is needed.
The CPU demand is mainly because of the double SHA256 at the end of the algorithm, that is currently done on CPU. This is also true for ZCash and other Equihash coins, but the Minex parameters are so easy that much more solutions have to be processed with this. One possible solution could be running sha on GPU, but that will need some work and will cost some sol/s but will reduce the CPU load to near 0, maybe 5%. Maybe a future version could feature this as optional feature, but I have other things to be sorted out before.
