Now looks it's connecting well to the pools (actually --pers are sngemPoW and ZelProof).
But now I receive "nvmlInit failed".
(Win10 64bit 1803, 4x1080ti, Nvidia driver 416.16 if this help)
The miner needs the file nvml.dll nvml stands for Nvidia Management library, and it is used for querying the gpu temperature. Put nvml.dll in the same directory containing funakoshiMiner.exe
The file nvml.dll is contained in my distribution. If its version is incompatible with your system use the file supplied by Nvidia runtime.

Latest releases of Funakoshi Miner support any pool as long as the mined coin uses one of the following algorithm: Equihash<200,9> such as Zcash or Equihash<144,5> such as BitcoinGold

Re: Funakoshi equihash cuda miner is now available
Hi Funakoshi, I've a problem with your miner 4.10 I'm mining snowgem on my private pool server.. with ewbf it's okay..your miner quit at start with this log..
For equihash 144,5 performance has been improved, at least for gtx 1080 on which Funakoshi-Miner is considerably faster than EWBF. I haven't optimized for 1060 yet.
For equihash 200,9 Funakoshi-Miner is much faster on all devices.
Already told you that your miner is not faster then ewbf. It was considerably slower. Now it it closer but still a little bit behind. On 5*1080 ewbf ~ 245-250 your ~ 233-238 Good progress anyway.
On eachGTX 1080 withoud OC EWBF performance is ~45 sol/s (EWBF itself says that it has ~45 sol/s, and 45 * 5 = 225 much less than 245-250) Funakoshi performance is ~49 sol/s (I measured myself this performance on my 1080, which has been confirmed by other users).
Anyone having GTX 1080 can measure the performance and see the results.

When Chrome browser is running on your PC, it prevents the miner from reaching its full speed (due to resources occupied by Chrome on gpu). Thus close it before measuring mining speed.
The sol/s change all the time due to the statistical nature of the equihash algorithm. You may get different results each minute. Each job sent by the pool has different number of solutions in it. Thus compare performance of different programs over time.
You should expect the reported sol/s to change about 10% to 20 % all the time. This behaviour doesn't depend on the implementation, its in the core of equihash.

Re: Funakoshi equihash cuda miner is now available
What is the API for the miner? Trying to use ethcontrol to remote keep an eye on my miner but I get no stats. Thanks in advance.
Funakoshi-miner has no api, however it has a mininal telemetry.
Add argument -tele-port p to the command line and specify the port number on which the miner listens to http-requests and return summary information in html. The results can be displayed in a browser.

Re: Performance jump in v4.4 of Funakoshi Cuda Miner in algo equihash 144,5
Thanks for your fast updates Don`t forget to sleep gtx 1060 6gb - 21 to 31 h/s need more stability
The equihash algo is statistical by nature. Each job supplied by the pool has different number of sol/s within. Thus, the sol/s are changing all the time. To evaluate avg you need to run it a full day.
I have published release v4.6 which is even faster.
For 1060 3gb cards i get the failed to allocate memory error
Any chance to get it working on 3 gb cards?
I didn't find the way to make it run on 3 gb cards without loosing performance (yet). Currently Funakoshi-Miner requires 4 gb gpu to run. If and when I will succeed to make the miner run on 3 gb cards without loosing performance I will publish a version and tell you.
