a way to see what miners are up, what hash rate they have, and what is its current coin from the workers page would be nice. because going to each pool in an "algorithm" mining (for asics or GPUs) is really hard to know what pool it is mining too.

Really interested to know what happened.

I have been frozen too by this group, and they do not answer support tickets at all, now I lost the coins I sent to this service.

Their support is better than if it did not exist, but just barely, not by much.

Regarding my network issue, it seems it is a problem with linux and TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT

as explained here:
https://labs.ripe.net/Members/gih/the-curious-case-of-the-crooked-tcp-handshake

I'll keep investigating.

Since you've pointed out that you're getting TCP errors on your network before zm reconnects (TCP Retransmissions in particualar): I'm not dealing with the TCP/IP layer in zm, that's the responsibility of the kernel. It seems that your router/nat has troubles to keep multiple connections open, it just closes them after some time.

I can monitor the network, but the funny thing is the network only does this with your miner, it does not happen with any other program or configuration. and it happens only on 1 computer. if what you suggest were true, it would have several disconnections for all computers at the same time. But it doesn't. Everything points to be something in your code triggering some weird configuration on the latest ubuntu update (since I updated both ubuntu and your miner at the same time).

I'll take a look at the NAT/routing tables in the kernel and see if I can find out what is going on.

Sigh.

Have you tried the 0.5_nat version I pm to you? Does it have the same issues?

I have been running it for 1h30m and so far it has not disconnected. not even once. I'll leave them running and report back later.

edit: added a period to make it clearer.
edit2: it happened again Sad it took longer, but same effect.

Yes, there are network fixes/improvements.
If you have still problems just post them here, I'll fix them pretty quickly as soon as I'm able to reproduce them.

Btw. I don't use colors in my output Smiley

I would like colors for temp ranges. and I don't know what the "+" to the right mean... or the ">" signs. oh well.

I have noticed that then it shows disconnection it starts getting lots of TCP errors. The werid part is only the computers that are running ZM miner show this behaviour, so i am sure this is not a network issue.

Are your systems on wifi? If yes, you could try using a cable if possible.
You might test running zm on less GPUs using the '--dev' option so you'll have less connections per system.
                                                                                                                     
Systems are wired.

Not sure what you mean by 'build up of connections'. It opens one socket per GPU there should be no 'build up of connections'.
Imagine a memory leak, but made with open sockets. That is what this feels like. could be or not, I am just trying to explain it somehow. Like, if you have a disconect, do you close the socket or does garbage collection close it? do you reuse the sockets? what if the sockets are left alive and for some reason my installation doesn't do garbage collection until network crashes? again, this is pure guesswork. this is a shot in the dark and may not even be possible. Just saying what it "feels" like.

I have a 10GPU system running stable, no disconnects, on flypool. I'm pretty sure they have no issues handling much more connections. If we run out of ideas I'll write a test for this Smiley
Seems weird. I imaged the system as ubuntu 17.04. I can get the image online if you want to try it or I can get you access to one of the rigs too if this proves too troublesome.

Quote
Complete output till it disconnects (pls include also the 'connection closed by server' message - if you get it).
I'll make it with -dev, give me a couple of hours to let it run and I'll send you those.

Quote
Edit:
I'm pretty sure there should be no issues with the number of connections on the pool side. So let's say you have 1000 rigs mining the same ZEC address, the pool must be able to handle all 1000 connections mining the same ZEC address.
Yeah, I am pretty sure this is something that should not happen, this is weird.

What zm version is this?
4.5 and 5

Quote
Disconnects are very regular.
Yes they appear regular, however disconnects only happen when zm is running. Otherwise the computers do not disconnect. I tested this by only running zm in one GPU miner while the others where doing other miners and only the box with zm disconnected.

Quote
Is there anything that happens every hour on your host/network?
Not that I am aware of.

Quote
It's very strange that it happens exactly after one hour but works fine 1 hour long.
It's approximately one hour and it starts counting at the time zm starts running. I don't see any memory leaks. It seems a lot like a build up of connections not being cleaned until network crashes.

Quote
Other users seem not to have this issues.                                 
This is puzzling, sure, I do have 3 boxes with the same behavior. I'll go ahead and see if I can reproduce this behavior in a freshly installed box.

Quote
24 simultaneous connection is a nothing special, browsers open up to 8/16 sim. connections per website/domain.
I agree, but all the connections are closed. And most connections are to servers that are meant for multiple connections (as httpd).

Quote
I'll check ofc if there is something wrong in my code.
Hard to check if we can't pinpoint where to look.

Quote
Could you pls. pm me some logfiles?
Sure, what logs do you need?

Btw. zm looks faster on pool side Smiley
It most definitively is.

Thx, if there are any regressions on new versions pls report them as soon as possible, it's welcome and speedups development.

Regular disconnects are bad ofc I'm not sure why you're getting them. It's most likely not an issue on the pool side, since flypool works fine, without disconnects for other users.

All GPUs are separated/independent, this design has a lot of benefits. So for example if you have different GPUs with different speeds in one system - each GPU will receive it's own job and it's own difficulty according to it's speed. Currently I'm not taking full advantage of this design, but it's planned to restarts each GPU separately on connection, hardware etc. failures.

If you have the same issues on 0.5 I'll think about a way to debug this issue, just report it.

Edit: Disconnects happen very regular, after the same amount of time, that's very strange.

I switched miners to ewbf to test, and the graph I got was no more disconnections. This has to be some sort of throttling, I have 24 cards, I split them in groups of equals. So tot he pool it must seem like I am making 24 separate connections at the exact same time.

you can see the difference between zm disconnecting, and ewbf staying normalized. Something is amiss, but I don't know exactly what it is, nothing changed, only the miner program.

I keep getting disconnects every hour or so (as you can see in the graphs) and that happened when I upgraded to 0.4.5

I am now trying 0.5

https://image.prntscr.com/image/4YGPv_YCTyiD0A7l2SfRHg.png
https://image.prntscr.com/image/limqbGRARyyb2riP2Z68RA.png

This is really bad for me since the average with this is a lot lower than it should.
Is there a way to just make just one connection instead of one connection per card?

If you want to know some ccminer history github is a nice place to check.

Here is a commit back in nov 2014: (faster echo512)

https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer/commit/3cc7e9db091b277d9357b20f2d9101846bee54dc

Here is another commit Jan 2015 (Faster groestl512)

https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer/commit/1c61d0eebb1ee49bcdb137d5c7291fc0fb3e810d

Every algo have been optimized by me, and I have done it opensource.

If you see the latest alexis fork, he base his work on the same code.

So I did the work, Eplyson copied my work, and Alexis reforked my work. And then They bitch about it when I add some more speed and refuse to share my changes..Huh

You really tried to go there.

Name one algo that you have released before Epsy or any other Nvidia dev has?

I'll be waiting for that answer.

You release nothing. You copy every algo that Epsy has released that you put in "your" miner.

EVERYONE here needs to wake up and realize the day Epsy stops releasing algo's then this ccminer is done.

Everyone who donates to sp has a backward thought process. The real person who should be getting donations is Epsy for his work in releasing the algo's and code for sp to take and claim as his own.

Here is a question to EVERYONE who has been donating to sp ASK HIM FOR THE SOURCE and he must provide it per the License.

So everyone mining algo's - skunk, dnr and timetravel10 you should really be donating to Epsy for giving you the opportunity to mine it.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=770064.msg19977610#msg19977610  What was wrong. You could not release it yourself?

when you buy a car, do you pay henry ford for making the first car in mass production? No you don't
When you have the choice to get a Cheap car, or the fastest car, which one costs you more? The fastest car of course.
making those improvements is as hard a job as creating the algorithm in the first place. I am a developer myself and I am pretty sure it is not that sp_ can't do the algorithm but it would be most likely a waste of time.
And maybe, just maybe, some coders are really bad at understanding algo's from text but really good at understanding algo's in code. So why waste time creating an slow algo to then improve it instead of just making one faster?

sp_ do you have a linux version of the skunk mod for signatum?

Gtx 1070 single card:

Profit nicehashminer 24hours: $1.89
Profit Signatum sp-mod #3 (0.05btc) 24 hours : $3.06

https://www.nicehash.com/?p=calc

http://i65.tinypic.com/2qjlu15.png

Sp you should start a paid service to offer advice where to point miners/what coin to mine  Smiley

I have a beta bot that does what nicehash does, with any miners you tell it to use, in windows and linux, as services or batch files. Smiley
It depends on whattomine to do the calculations right now. and you can totally make a nicehash only version for linux if you change the configuration file to only use nicehash pools.

It currently does NOT support:
splitting of cards (unless you run multiple copies)
dual mining algos (not listed in whattomine, so can't calculate that)
status of the miner (it starts and stops them, but can't figure out if they are running or not as of now).
