Can I use GTX 1060 3GB with the latest funakoshi miner?

Sorry but no.
Funakoshi Miner requires at least 4 GB.

I am searching for new techniques to increase performance.
When I will find ways to increase perofmrnace I will publish
a new version.

Thanks, @Funakoshi

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

Why nobody informs about gtx 1080 ti speed?

Avg on GTX 1080 ti is 65 to 66 sol/s
Just checked


Without overclocking? TDP?

Funakoshi-Miner does not modify the clock or the fans speed.
The numbers are without OC.

Cuda code can't modify the clock of Nvidia Pascal devices (the gpu
internaly auto adjust the clock depending on temperature and electricity).

Only by using low-level Nvidia drivers an application can adjust the clock.
Funakoshi-Miner doesn't do that.

Afterburner do that for OC.

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..

[2018-Sep-27 13:11:36] [MINER] Using pool: 54.37.xx.30
[2018-Sep-27 13:11:36] [MINER] Invalid host

ewbf .bat

miner --algo 144_5 --pers sngemPoW --server 54.37.xx.30 --port 3032 --user s1X415FzrMKwDxZC4133MH11CYD4sgJoXFB.chicco

funakoshi .bat

funakoshiMiner.exe --server 54.37.xx.30 --port 3032 --user s1X415FzrMKwDxZC4133MH11CYD4sgJoXFB.chicco -144 -pers sngemPoW -f log.txt

what's wrong?

Thanks
Alex


The miner expect a valid domain name as value of the --server argument
and you specified an IP address instead.

To overcome this you can map any valid domain name that you choose to your IP in the file:

    C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

For example Add the following line to the hosts file:

   54.37.xx.30  kukukukukuku.com

and than specify --server kukukukukuku.com
in the command-line.

Release v4.10 significantly improves the performance of equihash 144,5 of Funakoshi-Miner.
On GTX 1080 avg is 50 to 51 sol/s.

To learn more and to download the miner visit my github repository.

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 each GTX 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.

Hi Funakoshi!

Please add support for snowgem coin (equihash 144.5 same as btg)!

Alex


You can mine snowgem with Funakoshi-Miner. Just
pass the correct pers and algo args in the command line
    --algo 144_5 --pers sngemPoW

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.

Thanks for your fast updates Smiley Don`t forget to sleep Smiley
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.

Release v4.4 of funakoshi-miner is the fastest EquiHash 144,5 solver.

GTX 1080 avg 48 sol/s
GTX 1070 avg 42 sol/s
GTX 1060 6gb avg 27 to 28 sol/s

You are welcome to read more about it and to
download the solver from my github repository.

    
EWBF is faster by considerable margin.

Which card are you using?
Funakoshi-miner is much faster on 1080

zel-eu.coinblockers.com not supported Sad please add more pools
ver 4.2


Release v4.5 of Funakoshi-Miner supports it.
You will have to supply the following command
line-arguments:  --pers ZelProof --algo 144_5
