Re: TT-Miner 2.2.4: ProgPoW(Z,H,092), MTP, LYRA2V3, UBQHASH, TETHASHV1, Win, cuda

It looks like the 2.2.4 fixes the issues from 2.2.3 so I was able to upgrade from 2.2.2 - great work man!  2 Questions: what is the default intensity?  And can you explain how the hash report to the pool works with -rate? What does that effectively do?  Does that affect how much the rate attribution to the miner is?

Thanks
Dan

Hi,

happy to hear if things work Smiley
The default intensity is calculated and differs from card to card. You should see at start something like this:
06:26:58 Miner: GPU[0] use default intensity 12, Gridsize: 275
06:26:58 Miner: GPU[0] uses Gridsize: 275 and Blocksize: 448
so you get all information. The calculation is made after the algo is send to the gpu. For newer ProgPoW algos you can see this information whenever the algo changes. After 50 blocks.

-rate send the miner hashrate to the pool so that it can compare the hashrate from miner & from pool side. You can see this on ethermine.org - they support -rate!

Let me know if you have more questions - happy to help.

I thought it was fixed but unfortunately it looks like it still suffers from the same issues as 2.2.3 with slower speed and higher rejected shares Sad 2.2.0 is still the best for me.  .  I dont think I am the only one either, as zergpool shows most miners as using version 2.2.0.  You must have changed something going forward from there man ....do you know what is causing this?  If you went back to however it was structured back in 2.2.0 and then added your other fixes/features you'd probably get a lot more people using the miner (more dev fee for you)

I guess you are on MTP and zergpool?


Nah I just look at zergpool to see what everyone is using.  I just mine XZC MTP at mintpond

Trying to setup backup pool... keeps saying "no backup pool defined" at startup.  Can you advise what is wrong with my command line?

TT-Miner.exe -A MTP-101 -d 0 -PP 5 -pool zcoin-us.mintpond.com:3000 -user aCH5X9vpX5kvtH4RXkJLcdcNHnarmRpa27 -pass qZodTD -worker MyRigGPU0 -pool2 xzc.2miners.com:8080 -wal2 aCH5X9vpX5kvtH4RXkJLcdcNHnarmRpa27 -pass2 x -worker2 MyRigGPU0



Hi,

I have to check your command line. It maybe that there is a similar issue like 2h4u reported with the option order. Please try this form - it is cleaner, easier to read and you can  add a third backup pool, just add another -p option:

TT-Miner.exe -A MTP-101 -d 0 -PP 5 -P aCH5X9vpX5kvtH4RXkJLcdcNHnarmRpa27.MyRigGPU0:qZodTD@zcoin-us.mintpond.com:3000 -P aCH5X9vpX5kvtH4RXkJLcdcNHnarmRpa27.MyRigGPU0:x@xzc.2miners.com:8080

Let me know if that helps.


Your command line works - thanks brother! Cheesy It appears to have made it so that the -I command for intensity doesnt work though

will check - thanks for reporting!

Played around with it for a while and it looks like -i works if you put the -i before the -pp

It seems like every few moments the miner drops the load off of the cards down to 0 then back to 100.  Maybe this is harmful to the cards to happen hundreds of times per day... Possible to keep it going like in CryptoDredge? Or am I misunderstanding? Sorry im nub

because PM works once in a day have to write answer here: looks like beta2-version fixed connections bug for me. But miner doesn't pausing process while no connect.

Yes, it pause the mining and then when connection is restored it continues mining (on failover pool if at the moment try connect to it)

1. normal mining power consumption (954 W)
2. cable (connection lost) power consumption (311 W) after around ~1 minute (miner don't suspend mining at the moment when connection is lost, which is OK)
3. message in miner, after LAN cable is pluged back mining resumes on retrying pool (cloud be failover one)

Off topic, but what is the power-monitoring device you have plugged in in your last picture in your link? 

@dkmontague you asked about power monitoring device.
In last picture it's just desktop with TT-Miner and Afterburner (Watts in TT-Miner are readings from Nvidia NVLM API, software reading).

And device in power outlet is I think this one, EU socket type:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/230V-50Hz-Power-Meter-Energy-Monitor-EU-Watt-Volt-Amp-Frequency-Monitor-Analyzer-Cumulative-Kilowatt-Hour/32817695107.html

(PS: I think it can be found cheaper on other shops)

Or this one US plug type:

All the best,

Thanks brother! Smiley

Any way to add a CPU priority setting 1-5 like crypto dredge? Would be great.  Thanks for your hard work on this!  Love the miner.

Thanks - happy if you like the miner.
So what is the effect you are locking for? Do you want to mine while doing other work on you PC?




Thanks for the reply!  No I actually want to prioritize the miner above other system processes.  I found that on cryptodredge this was helpful, as setting the miner's CPU priority at max level actually made the hash rate a little better as well as resulted in less rejected shares.  Probably just from less switching between processes for CPU.  Would be awesome if it helped the same way here.  If it's relatively easy to implement, it would definitely add value!!  Let us know if you think its possible Smiley

Ah - got it. I hope your rejected rate with TT is not that high? Anyway I can add a switch to set the miner to a higher priority in the next release.

Thanks.

Yeah rejected shares are not high at all but thought it was worth a try to see if hashrate improves a little bit.  Saw you added it to the new release.  I'll give it a go and report back!  Thx again bro!

Thanks for your efforts Christopher.

PS..
Please reach out to Bittrex for their requirements to return to the exchange..

Thanks again!

Hi BitGrinder,

I believe it will be more effective if members of our community reach out to Bittrex and ask them if we can be listed again. If they see there is demand they will be more inclined to do it.

Best,
Christopher


Happy to contact about new exchanges but the link provided for bittrex said only the dev himself could submit.  Can you give us some insight on how to request they add to bittrex (or others)?  Seems they dont want to hear from us unless we are the official dev.

Thanks for your efforts Chris.  No worries on Yobit.  I personally feel new exchanges dont really matter as long as we dont get delisted from STEX.  When people see the money-making utility of the BYC product, I think that problem will somewhat solve itself.
