Re: Linux Driver for Blockchain Compute 17.30.1029

All voltages were reduced via custom bios mods.

How did you do it?

you need to download bios data from your gpu, edit with bios editor like srbpolaris (work only on window) then flahs it back on target gpu.
Be carefull wrong data can compromise your gpu or also impossible to boot it.
If you don't know what to do you need to use window and use amd software to edit freq and voltage to find better then edit your bios with this values.

Re: Linux Driver for [Suspicious link removed]pute 17.30.1029

- how to check these power steps on linux console?
- how to change them?
- my power consumption at wall were too high also before change (4x rx580 @ 1150W at wall) with smos (oc 1175-2250 dpm state 2). what about yours?

Thank you in advance

If you use smos you can change them on web app, my power consume is 1090 watt at wall 8 x rx480 (1170/2200 -> 30.6mhs each)
/sys/class/drm/card(Number)/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level must be manual
/sys/class/drm/card(Number) should be number of dpm state that you choiched

It works but, as I've said on SMOS thread, using roc kernel and changing boot parameter makes power consumption goes from 1150W to 1550W (on the wall, at least on my rx580 rig). Have you checked your power consumption after this change?

I use roc kernel on smos and consume it is the same, maybe you changed power step (consume is setup at level of bios of gpu, i have steps from 2 to 7 to my target voltage), check them on console.

Undervolt on bios with PBE isnt working on linux (or I cant do it works). This is the big problen on SM I think. +200-300watts.

When you undervolt the steps you must also use all same value example there are 6/7 steps, from 2° to higest must use same value, cause on linux TP auto select index or you can also force to use it.

Anyway use SRBPolaris and everything will be good. on rx 480 i use 975mv memory and 920mv gpu (1190mhz)

It is easy to understand, make a calculation of income and ROI, rember also to consider only stable crypto.
For me rx 580 when will be fixed (couple of week) and if price will be cheap like before (max 250$) should be best investement (+30 mhs on eth).

The main problem that you have is:
- very expensive cards, cause everybody wanna them

Re: Ethereum mining still profitable?
by
drrobert
on 30/07/2017, 11:51:06 UTC
when people think that ethereum will no longer be profitable and give up, chinese miners will be very happy. Mining centralisation will repeat, following the footsteps of bitcoin.

The main problem is many people are not smart, they think "i'll be rich with ETH, it is new gold".
Consider also profit, for European/Us 300/400 $ income monthly are not enought to be a job, on China can be a lot of money of incomming also very cheap elettricity.
Example bitcoins are not minable on West Europe cause elettricity price (0.15 / 0.2 €/khw when CH are near 0.05)

- You can use ethminer that it is open source
- Interface claymore with your app (it will run in other process then you can monitor with http call)

never use more than 3 sata / molex from same strand of PSU then problem sorted, cause when you use 4 and ambient go hot +25° psu connector can fire.

Anyone know where is zawawa?  Extremly bus?

atm he working on nicehash team, i don't think he have time/can work on this miner.

So the ASICs miners are already showing their claws, make no mistakes gentlemans, difficulty fast pumps are directly connected to more hashing power in the ETH network (aka ASICS miners), bye bye ETH GPU mining.

If is true eth will switch to POS faster ... we expect pos on next year but if is true asic on network i think they will switch to pos system about settember

Thanks for your reply Genoil.

You migh consider putting a devfee and updating your ETH miner. If I had the skills I presume you have I d definitively do it cause it would be worth 6 digits $ at least. Maybe I m underestimating the difficulty.

How does the Claymore miner work? I m pretty sure the archtecture is similar to the original ETH miner. In that case if he is using all these open source libraries and asks for a fee, it would seem to me that he is breaking some open source agreements.

Maybe it copy some part of code, but it redesign it, cause it have dual mining at same time (it is not to easy to implement) he also added multi stratum protocol (eth-proxy (default), nicehash, ethstratum) and remake algo.
Consider also it make multiple program eth-dual, zec, and monero, not just one miner like genoil, then i don't think it copy the old code.

About eth-proxy i tried to upgrade it and test on ethmine.org after authorization i have always bad json request (also if program not send data) (i get proof of code from ethminer, work, and you can choice from 3 different stratum protocol).

sprintf(s, "{\"id\":%d,\"worker\":\"%s\",\"method\":\"eth_submitLogin\",\"params\":[\"%s\"]}\n", swork_id++, pool->worker, pool->rpc_user); //it work

on stratumauth i use:
sprintf(s, "{\"id\":%d,\"method\":\"eth_getWork\",\"params\":[]}\n", swork_id++); //with or without this call i have always bad request from recv without send any data, i'm bit confuse, i tried same call with c# and it working (i'm a c# coder not c++).

I tried to use also zawawawa miner (99% same of original) cause winbuild working instead waste time to fix original genoil.

I hope genoil can fix miner, cause atm there aren't good open souce miner i don't have much experience with c++ to fix.

So you mean ethminer is not compatible with eth-proxy stratum?

Is there anything I can do or we have to wait for genoil to fix it?

i don't think he wanna fix it, cause was report few months ago, you can try to fix it by your self

not working cause it is not compatible with eth-proxy stratum used of 99% of pool then it is userless if nobody fix it.
