I have been trying your version of CCMiner for a bit now.  Normally I use Trex as many do, but thought it does not hurt to give it a try.  I won't know too much for an hour or 2 while the switch stabilizes and hash levels.  I do have some questions though, so I figured maybe I should ask here if that is alright.

I mine with a partner (my oldest nephew) and he is in a different part of the country.  The last 3 days we have been solo mining Zcoin at 2Miners.com.  We jump around like most miners do I suppose, but for Zcoin we always comeback to 2Miners.  Anyway, this question is specific to solo mining Zcoin and Luck. In a nutshell, my partner has found 3 blocks in these 3 days, and I have not found any.  I am actually hashing higher with about 60Mh/s and he is about 45Mh/s. Since no ones luck is that good, with less to work with. I am trying to figure it out.  Our equipment is the same, he just has less GPUs then me.  We use the same mining software (Minerstat) with as I said, the same hardware.  The single difference I can think of is networking.  He is on super fast full fiber optic at 250 Mb/s up and down.  I am on 100 Mb/s down and only 10 Mb/s up.  Since sending shares is what a miner does, his share must move like lightning and my like a slow freight train.  I think this is the reason.  What is your thoughts.

This other question I hope is right up your alley. Would you know if there is any possibility of integrating multiple GPUs where mining software sees multiple GPUs cores as if a single entity.  My though here is if that were possible, there should be a great advantage solo mining as the processing time per share should be divisible by the number of GPUs in the cluster, not considering difficulty level changes.  I admit, this is out of my somewhat shallow experience in shared computing using data/task parallelism, but if it were possible, I would have to think it may actually be quit significant in all of mining as well, not just solo mining.

That's about it.  Thanks for providing and working to improve your version of CCMiner to us miners.

Re: T-Rex 0.9.2 NVIDIA GPU miner with web monitoring page and auto-updates

Did an update to latest nVidia drivers and now t-Rex is not working.  Here's the error message it gives - "Can't start miner, unable to get number of CUDA devices, is nvidia driver installed?"

My install went fine and it was work fine before the install.  I suspect this latest version (419.67) for Windows 10 is not compatible with this latest version on t_Rex.

I have 3 Windows 10 rigs, and I have only updated this one.  The other 2 are working (well creeping along really slow due to such high difficulty levels).

I can install the earlier version of nVidia drivers, but thought you might want to take a look at whats causing this.

419.67 should be working fine. Someone from Discord had the same issue and then said it was fixed by "properly" installing the new drivers. Not sure what that means but I suspect the driver update screwed something up in the system so they had to clean everything up and reinstall the drivers.
Yes, first thing I did was a full uninstall, reg clean, reboot and reinstall again.  Didn't help.  This rig is my primary computer and I only run 2 GPU miners on it, so it's not a big deal.  But, since it was working and now it's not, I have to wonder why.  Had other things to tend to until just now, but I will look at this again tomorrow. I'm a 30 year computer tech BTW, so I will get it ironed out tomorrow.

GPU mining FlorinCoin at Supranova -- Worth it at all?

on 22/01/2019, 19:11:02 UTC
Hello,

I am thinking about trying to mine FLO and could move a 6 GPU miner on it to give it a try.  My question is pretty simple.  Is mining at florincoin@suprnova.cc using this 6 GPU rig even worth it?  Also, about all I see to use for mining software is cgminer in the list of miners I have used before.  If it is reasonable to mine with GPU's, what would the best mining software be on a windows 10 based miner?

Thanks for any input.

Hi Rodger,

Dev fee sessions kick in at random, so restarting the miner every hour won't affect dev fee payouts

Thanks for the reply.

Another question just came up today.  I am mining Suprnova's RVNCoin Pool, stratum+tcp://rvn.suprnova.cc:6667, and have seen a disparity between the confessed hash rate presented on t-rex and the confirmed hash rate presented on the Suprnova pool.  It has been absolutely accurate ever since I had started mining this pool 4 or 5 days back. Today it is not. Is there anyway to find out what going?  It seems about 25% lower on the Suprnova pool then being reported by t-rex.

Thanks.

Hello dev. 

I have been using this t-rex for windows for almost a week and like it very much.  I do have a question however concerning the fee.  More than happy to pay it as I do believe this miner is the faster then the others I have tried so far. 

My question is, if I start and stop my miner every hour, how will this affect my fee payouts?  I have shutdown setup in task scheduler to shutdown and restart every hour to make sure my 10 GPU's are all up and running.  Mining X16r can be a bit hard to hold a high overclock with low current, and I really do want all I can get out of my GPU's at minimal expense for electric.  This is the only reasonable answer I have right now, and it is working well.  But, I sure do not want to pay any extra fee for starting and stopping 24 times a day.

Thanks for your answer.

Re: Thoughts on Honeyminer?

Hello, new here.

I have been using Honeyminer for a few days now.  Having GPU problems with some older machines and older GPU's, but the biggest problem is multiple GPU's are not working properly at all.  Super low hash rates on all GPU's except the machine that starts up first.  It will have someplace around 35Mh/s or so, but every GPU on either the same machine or on other machines using the same login, will be somewhere around 2.9Mh/s or so.

Been working on this with tech support at Honeyminer, but they are not able to fix it.  Actually an upgrade came in and it did nothing to fix it either, even though the upgrade was suppose to be for GPU's no working or working properly.  As a use-to-be programmer, it would seem a very simple task to fix this sort of thing, as it is obviously related to the number of GPU assigned to a single login.  But then again, I have not programed for about 20 years or so, so maybe things like this are not easy to fix anymore, HA. 

Anyways, what I see here is GPU's doing their, work as all of the GPU's are running full out.  How that would be possible and not get even close to acceptable hash rates is on any of them except the first one starting is pretty hard to figure.  I hate to say it, but the simple answer here is it's setup this way purposely.  If so, why?

I know my guess, but since I could be wrong, I'll not spell it out.

Anyone else seeing this on Honeyminer if using multiple GPU's on the same login?

Curious minds would like to know.
