Re: [ANN][POOL] Mining Pool Hub - Multipool. Multialgo, Auto Exchange to any coin.

Ok, it seems correct, since we just found a Zcash block on the pool and the auto-switch went for Bitcoin-Gold just now, even though it was considered more profitable for a while.

I have a question regarding the auto coin switch feature. I have never done auto-switching because you loose too much to PPLNS when switching pools. But since this feature is built-in the pool and you connect with a specific port, do you still loose a lot of shares when the pool switch coin or is it ok because the pool uses the same pool connection regardless of the coin mined by the auto-switching port?

This is very clever! Thanks for the script. @Pustul

The Universe needs you.  Smiley

yaay! thank you very much! I will check out your script today. i was hoping for such a way! thank you pustul!!

Your welcome guys, I hope you enjoy the little script.

Hey all,

I created a small script to extract Nvidia and DSTM telemetry data into Prometheus to create nice dashboards.

Check it out and let me know what you think: https://github.com/pwm/rig-stats

It looks really nice, nice job! Is it possible to connect multiple rigs to have all of them in the same interface?

Any way to restart the miner after GPU unresponsiveness?

Code:
2018-02-21 14:20:28|gpu_id 4 54 1 unspecified launch failure
2018-02-21 14:20:28|gpu 4 unresponsive - check overclocking
2018-02-21 14:20:28|cudaMemcpy 1 failed

Use this Miner Autorun (Watchdog)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2071108.0

Thank you for that recommendation. That looks fine, but requires to use windows. I am running a linux rig... :-/ Any other idea?

You can use this little python script that I made to handle the miner:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/env python3

import subprocess
import sys

def restart_miner(proc):
    print('Restarting miner...')
    proc.kill()

def process_line(proc, line):
    if 'cudaMemcpy 1 failed' in line:
        restart_miner(proc)
    else:
        print(line, end='')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    while True:
        proc = subprocess.Popen(sys.argv[1:], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)
        for line in proc.stdout:
            process_line(proc, line.decode())

Copy/paste the code in a file, make it executable and run it with "./filename your_launch_command". With a file named "start.py" and for the default dstm's launch script the command would be "./start.py ./zm --cfg-file zm.cfg".

The script will restart the miner when it sees the "cudaMemcpy 1 failed" error message.

BTW, it should work on Windows too if you have python3 installed. Remove the first line and replace "sys.argv[1:]" by "['zm.exe', '--cfg-file', 'zm.cfg']" (or whatever your launch command is).

I point my rigs at miningrigrentals.com as a free hosted proxy service with backup pool support, easy pool switching without have to edit each individual rig's config and overview dashboard.

Quote
You never required to list your rig for rent. There is no fee to use our site/service for the miner controls or hash rate graphs.

That's a great idea, thanks!


The easy and fast way. Make a html file and paste this. edit ip settings and ur done
Code:

Not all my rigs are on the same LAN, but I like the idea

How can I monitor my rigs with this miner? Is there some free software or maybe a web page that I can setup to aggregate all my rigs in one place? Telemetry is nice but I would like to have the same basic thing with all my rigs in one page.

Re: NEW [ETH][ETC][EXP][ZEC][ZCL]MINE.PRO mining pools

zclmine.pro is junk. Share response time is measured on avg at 15 seconds last night, causing lots of rejected shares and eventual client disconnection. Now I've got ZCL sitting with them that I can't get out due to a high min payout, as others are complaining about.

I'll withdraw my negative comments here if they transfer my earnings to me, but pretty sure that isn't going to happen.

Don't use the zclmine.pro mining pool.

They are definitively scammy, you can see blocks on the explorer that do not appear on the pool. Yesterday I mined 10% of what I should have...

One question to suprnova.cc and mining btcz. As long as I am watching BtcZ suprnova constantly held above 50% of the global hashing power. But if you look at their stats they are over the whole time just finding around 20% of all blocks:

First Value are the global blocks, second one suprnovas findings

Last 24h   1,440   257   
Last 7d   10,080   1,940
Last 4w   40,320   8,261

You can have a look here: https://btcz.suprnova.cc/index.php?page=statistics&action=blocks

Can someone explain this to me please?

I would be interested to know why too! I've always found my earnings on suprnova to be under what I expect.

Nice to see that the project is moving along!

I have 2 questions/comments:

1) Does anybody know why Zencash suddenly dropped today when the main-net is already operational (which should impact the price positively)?
2) I understand that for the network the more nodes, the better but for the node(s) owners it also means less rewards which is not that great. I understand that the goal for the Secure Node is different than a Master Node for DASH but if the incentive because really small, it is possible than people will not see any value anymore in setting up a node and so on. Thoughts?

The price dropped a lot because the price of BTC rose a lot, a ZEN is still worth about 30$. And while securenodes are operational on the mainnet, the payments to nodes operator has not been enabled yet. A lot of people are waiting for that to start their nodes and at that moment ZEN will probably regain attention.

Code:
./kardashev-sandybridge: /usr/local/cuda-8.0/targets/x86_64-linux/lib/libOpenCL.so.1: no version information available (required by ./kardashev-sandybridge)

Still it is able to compute keys at 0.79 Mkeys/s (it's a AMD Athlon X2 340 ultra cheap cpu) but I guess it's complaining because the cpu is AMD?

No, it's complaining because your OpenCL installation is slightly broken.
Reinstalling OpenCL helps. clinfo should work, if you have a Nvidia GPU, nvidia-smi should work, then you are probably good to go.

The performance you see is because you run a CPU-only generator.

In this project, you have to earn your merits and perks. One of them being to be allowed to use a GPU. Which comes after you delivered 3000 Gkeys CPU-only.


Oh ok I didn't realize it was complaining about OpenCL since it was running on CPU only mode. I will fix it when I get to enable the GPU. For the 3000 Gkeys I am working on it Wink

Anyone know what block they're on?

444300

About 1hr 30 for last 40000 blocks, so expect to go live in about 1hr20 time

This is not accurate, http://btgexp.com is still syncing...


It's syncing, and its currently on block 445580, what is not accurate about this.  you used the same source as what I quoted from.

It is syncing meaning they have not catch up to the current height of the blockchain, we are around 497142, still about 2k blocks of premine to go. I'm just telling you that you should not look at that explorer to get the current block the devs are premining.

Full chain

Bad news :/ How can you sync faster? Is there a way to download the blockchain until the hard fork?

I have downloaded the official Bitcoin Gold Core Client, and it is running fine...

where you download it?

From the offiical website, it just went live:

https://bitcoingold.org/downloads/


i have donwloaded direct on ghithub .. but i need a node list for add ... where can find node list?

I just used this to get going working just fine 78.193.221.106

Do you need to download the whole bitcoin chain too, or only since the hard fork?

hmm.. do people actually realize that they're currently mining the premine for the dev team ? they won't be getting paid at all (on any pool) before the premining has ended

This is so shady from the devs, why didn't they announce this premine?
