Is the pool address correct ?
No need to add stratum+tcp:// to pool address any more


But we do if we are still on 19-1.4, correct? Specifically curious about using suprnova.cc to mine BTG.  Thanks

Edit: Disregard. The answer is yes, or at least it is working with it on.

I cannot get my hashes for a gtx 1070 to get past 26ish mining eth no matter what I do.

Running nvOC 19 1.4

Is 26 just what linux can do or do I need to keep trying to solve this issue and get higher hashes?

What are your settings? I get 29 MH ETH and 280 MH DCR with PL 125 Core -50 and M 900 from Zotac 1070 mini.

I'm getting 28.8 on the minis. I was getting 26 with the stock settings. I posted earlier today looking for some better settings. I just started messing with it and ended with PL=125, Core=150, and MEM at 600 on the Mini. I'm running three of them.

Anyone else have recommended settings for a 1070, preferably a mini? And thanks for posting y'all's.

Edit: I am now using your 125/-50/900 values and now each of my three cards are cranking out 30Mh/s of ETH. Thanks for the numbers.

With gigabyte 1070 I get
Ethahsh : 30-31 MH/s,  Power 130, CC -200, MC 800
Equihash: 470 Sol/s, Power 125, CC 150, MC 600

Have a look here too : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2176936

Awesome! And thanks for the link.

Hello,

got a problem with rig stop mining, doesn't autoreboot, screen is all green with warning box with nondescript characters. Hard reboot required, attached error screen on reboot.

Asus H270-plus

intel G3930

Any help would be much appreciated.


That appears to be a filesystem problem. Are you running nvOC from a USB stick or SSD?

Tis a USB, but worked perfectly fine before upgrading to 1.4

I ran into a similar issue with a pretty high quality USB drive. I extended the partitions using the tool included in nvOS and that bought me about an extra week. Fortunately, that was more time than it took for a new, 60GB SSD to be delivered.

how check wdog logs?

In the bash shell, more/less/cat/tail (whichever is your favorite) 7_wdog_alertlog

Code:
~$ less 7_wdog_alertlog

GPU Card Specific settings question:

Y'all - I'm running 19-1.4 with three Zotec 1070 Minis. It spends a lot of time between ETH and FTC. I tried turning up the damNmad Algo-specific OC settings (stock in 1bash) and my ETH hashrate went from 82M to 66M. Is there a resource someone could point me to for recommended settings for these card?

Thanks,

Joe

Yes.  Just make the coin "NICE_EQUIHASH" and enter your NH BTC wallet address (BTC_ADDRESS) in the proper place in 1main.

Thanks for the answer
about proper place, did you mean 3main?


I think he meant 1bash.

Another dumb, probably already answered question from me. Can someone answer, or point me to the answer to:

For the WTM_AUTO_SWITCH_COINS= option, is the comments area the exhaustive list? i.e. "ZEC;ETH;ETC;XMR"

Since I have ZEN in mine, I am guessing the answer is no. If no, is there an exhaustive list, and valid syntax documented somewhere?

Thanks for your patience.
In bash every thing after # is not readable by scripts
So your setting is gonna be some thing like this

Code:
WTM_AUTO_SWITCH_COINS="ZEC;ZEN;BTCZ;ZCL" # ....

Thanks papampi. I've got it set to:
Code:
WTM_AUTO_SWITCH_COINS="ZEN;ETH;VTC;FTC" # ....

System/Network Security

As a security nerd, I am going to attempt to add value to this thread. Since updates are turned off, and there's a pretty wide attack surface, I've been thinking about how to keep my miner(s) isolated from the rest of my systems except for some remote access. Here are some initial thoughts:

- Without hardening the system, I need to put some network access control function/device between my user network and the miners.
  - I have an old broadband router that I can put them behind with the "internet side" facing my internal network.
    - Have the "broadband side" configured with a static IP address on my user network
    - Open TCP/22 (for ssh and scp) and redirect it to the first miner. You can use that one as a jump-box to get to the others
    - Open TCP/3389 (Windows Remote Desktop) and have that directed to a Windows box (old laptop perhaps) and use that as a jump-box for about anything
  - I actually have several actual firewalls (Forcepoint/Sidewinders and a Palo Alto Networks) that can segment the network for me, not to mention IPS, etc.
    - Open the same ports as above?

ASCII Network Diagram

Internet --> Main firewall --> User Network (where my workstations and servers are) --> Miner Firewall/Broadband-router --> Miner Network

Are there any recommendations on OS hardening you could recommend?


If you know your way around your OS, hardening the system is not that hard. Really.

Center for Internet Security is legit and a good place to start: https://learn.cisecurity.org/benchmarks
look for Ubuntu Linux 16.04 (CIS Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS Benchmark version 1.0.0)

  • Do not redirect any traffic to the miners. EVER. NEVER use Windows for access to anything you actually value. It's gotten better, but it's still not safe enough to be used to guard the castle.
  • If you want to set up a jump server, make it multi-homed. This means that there is one interface plugged into the public network (User Network above) and one interface plugged into the private network (Miner network above). If you can not do this, or do not want to create a multi-homed machine, use a single homed machine and use the router to redirect port 22 to that single-homed machine.
  • Do not use passwords alone for users. Use public/private keypairs instead. If you want to be even safer, implement multi-factor authentication. Rudimentary multi-factor authentication can be a combination of public/private keypairs and a password. Here is some good info: https://sysconfig.org.uk/two-factor-authentication-with-ssh.html
  • If you want to secure the miner, since nvOC is based on ubuntu 16.04, use the built-in security tool known as ufw or iptables:  https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/firewall.html
  • Lock down all inbound ports except for port 22 (ssh). Restrict outbound traffic such that you only allow traffic outbound that you know/trust. Know what ports and protocols need to be opened. If you are new to the game, some experimentation will be necessary. If you see a port open and you don't know what it is, close it and see what breaks.
  • If you want to have something running that provides a pretty interface, make sure that the provider of that information can only run in userspace and can not escalate privileges to root. How to do that? Implement sudo properly with a well constructed sudoers file that limits what commands a giver user can execute as root. Make sure that the user that the provider (web server) runs as does not have a real login shell.
  • If you need to use Windows Remote Desktop, tunnel it through ssh so it is at least encrypted.
    https://www.saotn.org/tunnel-rdp-through-ssh/


All really good OS-side hardening. My biggest question is, by doing so, are there any impacting issues any of that would have on the mining functionality? Also, it might be good for the devs here to implement those changes (you know, if they are looking for something more to do, lol.

Hey guys. Can someone provide me a good way to backup my 1bash file over SSH?

FWIW, I FTP it (2unix and 3main too) to one of my servers. You can also scp it.

All,

Apologies if this was covered somewhere in the previous 267 pages Wink but I'm having a struggle getting the .IMG to burn to a USB. I download it (tried 3 different PCs, all on Windows 10), used HDD Raw Copy and Etcher, to write the image to a 32GB Lexan (per Vosk's recommendation) and a few others and keep running into the same issue. It seems it only writes the 1hash file and nothing else. It splits the USD into two partitions, one contains the 1hash, and the other is "unformatted."

I'm sure, and kind of hoping that, I'm "missing some mundane detail." Does anyone have ideas what is going wrong?

Thanks

Joe

Probably everything is ok. Just plug your stick into the usb port and bot from it.
Windows does not see linux partitions and says that is "unformatted"

All noob issues on my part. No, ext3/4 partitions cannot be read by a Windows box without a helper. The other partition needed to be formatted, then magically the 1bash file showed up on it. The latter was a little strange, but all good so far.

Now, if I can wait for the new version that supports integrated video so I stop throwing xorg errors. Smiley
