2.50 is broken.
Not reporting to the pool but mining
similar to mine...client is mining but on pool the miner is reporting as worker "eth 1.0", when i start 2.50 on other rigs, then they all have the same worker name

Adding the
Code:
--worker
parameter resolved the issue for me...

Version 1.0 of the miner has been released.
Made some gpu-side performance improvments  Cheesy

Time to get our hands dirty again ;-)

Fantastic job, Funakoshi!

Hi,

so, I ran a 24h test on flypool with one GTX 1070 ti on Ubuntu 16.04 with OC (GPU +200, MEM +700).
The miner (Funakoshi) shows between 505-519 Sol/s in the console. Flypool reports different:

Flypool

In reality pool reports average of around 415 (+/-5) Sol/s. For comparison DSTM reports an average
of 485 (+/- 5) Sol/s with the same settings. Roughly +20% speed for DSTM...

Funakoshi needs another speed bump to be on par with the current Equihash miners.

What I really do like very much with Funakoshi miner is its "SSL only" approach. That is really a big
plus.

From my point of view, Funakoshi miner is missing:
  • better speed
  • telemetry/api
  • increased stability

I'm sure, Funakoshi is already hard at work, addressing above list ;-)

We are all looking forward with what Funakoshi is coming up!

Cheers,
Andy

Andy, I did another comparison of Funakoshi vs Dstm-0.6
on a Ubuntu 16 cloud server with gtx 1070 GPU.

First I run Dstm for 2 hours and after that Funakoshi for 2 hours.
2 hours is too short time (but I wanted to test both solvers in
as close as possible period of time).

Dstm:
cpu: 6%
I/s: 237
Sol/s avg: 442 (reported by miner)
Flypool avg sol/s: 399


Funakoshi:
cpu: 16%
I/s: 240
Sol/s avg: 446 (reported by miner)
Flypool avg sol/s: 401

In the following graph from flypool,
Dstm 2 hours recording is on the left-side
and Funakoshi 2 hours recording is on the right:

    https://imgur.com/JQNKKo3

In this configuration both solvers seams to have similar
performance. I also noticed that there are many large
jumps in flypool graph in both directions.

Maybe different configurations gives completely different results.
Maybe different hours of day in flypool gives different results.

However I will continue to try to find ways to improve the performance.
Thanks for sharing your experience with me.



Funakoshi,

Okay, let me try to run (unfortunately not in parallel) two more 24 hour test.
One with your miner, and one with DSTM, both on flypool with Zcash.
Will report back.

Cheers,
Andy

Small update on my testing:

on pool side I'm not getting more than 420 Sol/s for 1070 Ti. Funakoshi reports 510-520 Sol/s.
DSTM reports 495 Sol/s and 480-485 Sol/s on pool.

Funakoshi,

Another crash/bug showing up after a few hours running:

Code:
CUDA error 'the launch timed out and was terminated' at line 2346]

Any ideas on this issue?

Cheers,
Andy


Are there other heavy graphic applications running on GPU in addition to the miner?


Nope, its a dedicated mining (test) rig.

Cheers,
Andy

P.S. After restarting miner now runs for the past 5 hours...will report if it crashes again

Nice work.

Please add support for some of this pools:

https://zen.zhash.pro/
https://pool.bitcoinzguiding.ovh/

And add how to instruction for newbies.


Hi,

what informations are you exactly missing from his GitHub Page
https://github.com/funakoshi2718/funakoshi-miner?

zen.zhash.pro should something like:

Code:
funakoshiMiner.exe -cd 0 1 2 3 -l eu1.zhash.pro:3060 -u YOURWALLET.workerName

(where -cd 0 1 2 3 represents the GPUs you want to use, starting with 0).

Cheers,
Andy

I have uploaded a bug-fix to current release v0.8

Please re-download funakoshiMiner and funakoshiMiner.exe

I thank Andy for reporting the bug.


My pleasure!

Download and running.

Now showing 510-518 Sol/s on 1070 Ti...every release new hash rate ;-)
Let's see what pool is reporting, will report.

Thanks for the ultra-fast fix!

Hi,

I can see a substantial drop in CPU consumption (around 25% CPU load, was 80-85%) and some speed bump.
My 1070ti test card shows 560-570 Sol/s (which is much more than DSTM's 495 Sol/s...), but let's wait what pool will report.
As previous version: rock stable on Ubuntu 16.04!

Keep going, Funakoshi!

Cheers,
Andy

Thanks for the encoragement Andy


You are most welcome!

Okay, now I see:

Code:
[GPU-0] CUDA error 'invalid argument' at line 2365

What could be the reason?

Cheers,
Andy


This is a bug.
I am fixing it now.
I estimate that it will take me 1 or 2 hours.
I will load the fix and tell you when it is ready.


Fantastic - I really appreciate your hard efforts!

Cheers,
Andy

I have improved the performance of Funakosh-Miner  Cheesy

Now the solver doesn't use much CPU.

As a side-effect there is a jump in solves-rate  Smiley
both on Windows and on Linux.

You are welcome to download the new release and try it.



can you explain, why virustotal find a virus?

https://www.virustotal.com/de/file/4191b32025330aacb7f5bc58c740adbc7012251ce7f5db113d3997eaa3ba4c0d/analysis/1519038341/

A lot of miners get marked due to their excessive consumption of system resources and people using them illegally by putting it on other peoples computers without permission.

...and this has what to do with Funakosh Miner?

Andy

Thanks Andy

You are very kind.

I will improve the performance of my solver.



Funakoshi (if this is your name?),

If you find ways to improve it - please go for it!
I really think competition between different miners is a good thing. Furthermore I believe that dev fee is something totally acceptable - if the dev fee is worth the performance and stability. The market is big enough and great and reliable miners will always find plenty of rigs to mine on.
Finally I wouldn't focus too much on Windows. No serious miner (with more than really small number of rigs) will use Windows, because its hell to maintain and never stable as a Linux system...

Cheers,
Andy

Hi,

some early reports from my testing concerning mining speed:
(linux, 1 x 1070ti):

Funakoshi:
Miner: 350-410 Sol/s
Flypool: 437 H/s (6+ hours)
0 stale shares, 0 invalid shares
CPU use: 90%

DSTM 0.5.7:
Miner: 490-495 Sol/s
Flypool: 485 H/s
0 stale shares, 0 invalid shares
CPU use: 6,5%

Good thing: Funakoshi is running rock solid (as DSTM is)
So, even at the pool side I don't see any benefit from use Funakoshi.
While I appreciate other miners and competition, I looks (at least from
these early results), that it still needs some work ;-)
Anyhow, first results are promising, and you may find some ways of
squeezing some more Sol/s out of your miner!
Maybe you want to consider a 0% dev fee until you reach a performance
level that is more closer to the competitors?

Cheers,
Andy

Hi Andy

I have tested flypool from Ubuntu.

However I used:
     ./funakoshiMiner -cd 0 -l eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3443 -u xxxxxxxx.rig0

Please use ssl port 3443

In the log you can see that connecting to wrong port 3334 has failed.

No need to sudo.

Thanks Andy


Hi,

I'm such a fool - a little typo in the port number and I'm blame your miner not working.
Please apologize, that was totally my fault.
Miner is running and reporting around 380-412 Sol/s, while DSTM was reporting like 490-495 Sol/s.
Let's wait and see in a few hours what Flypool is reporting ;-)

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,
Andy

Hi,

trying with 1070ti on Zcash (flypool), but only getting:

Code:
[TOTAL (15 sec)] 0 I/s, 0 Sol/s, 0 Accepted, 0 Rejected

Some machine is working flawless with DTMS, EWBF etc.
Running on Ubuntu...

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Andy



Btw. How to exit from the miner? (currently need to kill -9 ...)


The command-line argument   -cd 0    requests to mine using first nvidia card.
See the usage example in the github.

To mine using 2 cards you should pass the arg -cd 0 1

If you don't pass -cd (cuda device) arg, you will get 0 sols.

Soon I will add api support.


Have been running it with the following command:

Code:
sudo ./funakoshiMiner -cd 0 -l eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3334 -u xxxxxxx.rig

That still produces 0 Sol...

Anything else I can do?

Cheers,
Andy

Hi

It donates hashpower - 5% means 5 minutes in 100 minutes.  If you lower it to 1% then it's 1 minute in 100 minutes. You can set the length of the main refresh cycle yourself, by default it's 15 seconds but if you set it to more than a minute then it will donate for longer because it will only update everything on the interval that you set.

We currently support excavator, two variants of ccminer and xmrig_nvidia.  Support is planned for as many miners as possible and our shim project excavataur wraps any cli-based miner with a generic excavator-like API interface so they're very easy for us to add.

Is this the one you're talking about?   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2021765.0



Hi,

Thanks for the clarification on fees. 5% (as default) sounds a little bit high as fees add up (pool, miner, minotaur). Maybe you should lower the default to attract more people? (some will scare the 5%, so they won't even give it a try...just my 2 cents)!
Yes, this is the miner, I was talking about (DSTM).

Cheers,
Andy
