Re: Zealot/Enemy (z-enemy) NVIDIA GPU miner.

Miner just seems to stop mining at certain points, nothing is happening, no crash, just stops mining like it's in pause mode. Checking MSI Afterburner, all clocks are dropped down like it's not mining anything and miner screen is just sitting on idle. Is this a known issue? I have 8x 1080 ti rig using this new 1.09a version. It's been paused like this for 10 minutes now, I will be restarting it in a minute.

Update: I was about to restart it but I just decided to hit backspace to see if something happened and soon as I did it kick started again? Then I got this:

[ERROR  ] 18/05/09 22:52:56 submit_upstream_work stratum_send_line failed
[ERROR  ] 18/05/09 22:52:56 ...retry after 30 seconds

[ERROR  ] 18/05/09 22:54:28 Stratum authentication failed
[ERROR  ] 18/05/09 22:54:28 ...retry after 30 seconds

And then after a few more retries it kicked in and is working again.

Few more pauses have occurred, some for 2mins, some for shorter, but I don't know if it's because Suprnova is overloaded with 11k miners or what the deal is. Switching back to 1.08 overnight and switching to 1.09 in the morning when I can monitor it again.

I'm getting the same error also on Suprnova. It works fine with Suprminer.

Re: [Awesome Miner]- Powerful Windows GUI to manage and monitor up to 5000 miners

I can't get any SSL connections to pools to work with Awesomeminer. For example, if I connect directly to the SSL pool with DSTM or Claymore it works fine, when I use Awesome miner I get a connection error. I'm using the correct port and specifying the correct ssl prefix in the URL.

Any ideas?

This happens on multiple pools so it seems to be a setting in Awesomeminer I can't find or some way it's passing the info to the miner. The command line looks correct in the miner window, but it still doesn't work like it does solo.

Re: [ANN] dstm's ZCash / Equihash Nvidia Miner v0.5.8 (Linux / Windows)

Just crashed again, this time:

Code:
protocol version 01000030 not supported

right before the crash.

I'm not sure why this is happening all of the sudden as it's been really stable for awhile.

Based on the above, I'd guess that '01000030' is the stratum protocol "mining.notify" method job version for whatever pool you're connecting to - it seems that 0.5.8 added support for '01000020', but now '01000030' is also required. Meaning, pools are updating their software, but miners need to catch up. Is this on nicehash or suprnova (based on your previous posts)?

dstm, if I'm on the right track here, have you investigated whether dropping any job version checks is feasible?

That crash was on Nicehash. I had another one today that just returned:

Code:

2018-02-12 4:10:44 PM|#  reconnecting

Ok, so it happened again today that there was a disconnect and my AMD rig mining on Claymore recovered, but both my nvidia machines hard crashed DSTM so mining stopped. This is really weird as I had been running DSTM for a couple of months and this behavior only started in the last week or so.

I was previously mining on suprnova, so I switched to nicehash to see if the pool was the issue but no, it still happened.

All I see in the log is below:

Code:
2018-02-10 5:00:18 AM|#  connection closed by server r:0
2018-02-10 5:00:18 AM|#  reconnecting

2018-02-10 5:00:30 AM|stratum subscribe failed

That was the last thing recorded before the crash.

I'm also seeing some sort of failure or disconnection recently on both of my rigs. I've been using this miner for a couple of months now and never had this issue but over the last week it's happened 3 times where the miner just disconnects and closes. I tried running it through Awesomeminer as well and it looks like Awesomeminer will try multiple times to restart it but each time it will fail to connect and then close/crash. If I wait a minute and try again manually it will work as normal. I didn't have logging enabled (but I do now) so I can't say much more than that, but this is the first time this has been happening to me.

When it happens, it happens on both of my nvidia rigs running DSTM. My AMD rig running claymore shows a disconnect, but it recovers. So it's definitely a connection issue with the pool or network connection since claymore shows it too, but DSTM doesn't recover for whatever reason. I've seen DSTM work fine after a pool error or disconnect before though, so I'm not sure what changed.

I have a few from mining ETH nearly 2 years ago but that doesn't seem worth it on these cards now and one of them only has 2GB memory. Any altcoins still profitable to mine on a few 370s?

I get near identical 17MH/s with -i 18 on a GTX 1060 6GB with this when compared to spmod5, however check your power usage this miner is very erratic (it goes up and down quite a bit) while spmod is stable. Anyone else noticed anything like this?

Ya my power usage is all over the place.

Re: Question on PCI-E USB Powered Risers VER #
by

on 22/07/2017, 02:50:46 UTC
I realize this post is from last year, but no one really seems to have information on the differences in the risers. Based on the component changes is there anything wrong with the ver 003 risers? I have some and am considering using them with some GTX 1070 cards but I do'nt know if buying new ones is needed.


Im using VER003 (green PCB) and VER006 (black PCB) for all my builds .

VER003 arrived with 24 inch blue USB cable
VER006 with 20 inch black USB cable

VER003 have a M193 G1084-33 voltage regulator
VER006 have a FS1084 voltage regulator

Both regulators have On-chip thermal shutdown protection( provides protection against any combination of overload and ambient temperature that would create excessive junction temperature )

In the past few months i had to replace only one riser ( VER 006 ) , i had no time to check what was the problem , maybe just a USB cable .

Re: Question on voltage monitoring?
by
calculatorduck
on 10/07/2017, 01:33:21 UTC
Afterburner contains a warning that allowing two programs to monitor voltage could potentially damage a card. I also found some old forum threads where people using Afterburner and HWmonitor were having voltage spikes.

My question is this- I use EVGA Precision to adjust the clocks and fans on my cards. It has a voltage monitor that cannot be disabled. I mine using ccminer 2.0 which also reports the power draw of the card intermittently...is there any conflict doing this? Does ccminer actually report the card's watts by accessing the card VRM?

Anyone know?

good question  but you may need to try evga boards to get an answer


https://forums.evga.com/


if they give one to you please post back to us here.

I actually just asked on the ccminer thread here. I'm sure EVGA's software accesses the VRM monitor but I don't know if mining software does too...or if it even matters in this case. Only Afterburner seems to mention it, but some googling did turn up some people who used two monitoring softwares and claimed they damaged their cards or had instability.

Does anyone know if ccminer 2.0 accesses the VRMs of a card to report power usage?

The reason I ask is because Afterburner has a warning stating that two programs monitoring voltage from the VRMs at the same time can be dangerous, I've also seen some reports of voltage spikes because of this with other monitoring programs.

I use EVGA Precision to adjust the clocks and fan speeds of my cards and it has a voltage monitor that can't be disabled it seems. I don't want it to conflict with mining software. I have no idea if this is relevant to ccminer so I thought I'd ask.
