script for miner restart after gpu driver crash pls?

Code:
:start
zm --server hostname --port port_nr --user user_name [--pass password] [options]
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 10 > nul
goto start

Use a ping after the crash to give it a little time to cool off.

How exactly can I use the json-rpc?

I've enabled the telemetry. If i load IP:port in browser i see the page.

So for json-rpc i tried different options with postman and failed on all. Is there something that i'm missing?
https://i.imgur.com/qgF7EVj.png

I tried writing a scraper for Prometheus using the json-rpc API yesterday, in both Python and then in Java using standard http client libs and found with both that the API does NOT produce a consumable output.  In Java, posting with the specified request ( {"id":1, "method":"getstat"} the post to the API port throws an http.ProtocolException "The server failed to respond with a valid HTTP response".

I'd like to use this more elegant json output from a POST rather than scraping through the html on a GET.



This has been discussed before, here's dstm reply:

Keep up the good work dstm.  Eight 1070Ti rig running Ubuntu is rock solid.  400 Sol/s each card with no problem.  It's truly a fire and forget weapon.

400 Sols/s seem kinda low for a 1070TI. I even got 445 Sols/s out of my 1070's with 65% TDP. What are your OC settings?

dstm Any chance we can get a simple function where you can load the options from a file? Say --config or -c option pointing to a file? Will be huge help. It's probably a 10-15 minute job tops (Though haven't seen your specific code).

I'm using another miner which allows that, but gives me only slightly lower profit. It's the only thing stopping me from changing my ~6100 H/s rigs to use your miner. (I really can't do without this option).

Configuration file is something I can add ofc. However how is a configuration file different from using shell scripts to configure the parameters?

Alternatively, automatically loading a config from a file named a certain way would also be useful. It's more convenient for me as I have multiple rigs, with some shared storage (NFS) where I usually put configuration files of different miners. Allows me to have one file and edit one file, which will apply the changes to all miners. Unfortunately, my rigs weren't originally used or created for mining, but I struck a really nice deal, so I actually have a pretty high number of machines with a low number of GPUs per machine, which makes management a bit of a pain.

I am also giving access to one of the machines to some friends in alternate accounts for non-compute intensive things. One of them, for example, is hosting a teamspeak server. The rigs are kind of, multi-use, I guess. Passing a file helps not only with convenience but also with privacy. I don't want them to be seing what I'm doing as I'm making a decent amount of money out of this. Compared to my country's very low wages, this is an enourmous profit in addition to my regular salary, which I'd rather people who know me didn't know about.

Don't know if that makes sense to you. It's convenience + privacy and I'm not willing to give those up for the extra $5-6 per month I'll be making with your miner. Though as I said, wages are low and if you did add that one thing, I'd be more than happy to switch.

Thanks

You can create a "bootstrap" file wich downloads a hosted bat file or copy from a shared folder a remote bat file then execute it.

can anyone help me with this?

dstm exited, waiting to cooldown a bit

on linux

'waiting to cool down' is not a message produced by zm, are you using some kind of monitoring process?

I beleive that is a HiveOS whatchdog message. Maybe your OC settings are quite high, try lowering a bit, remember every miner needs a little bit of tuning. If it stills crashes you can ask for support on its thread.

SUGGESTION

After several reconnections the api crashes and don't work anymore. Can you add a trigger like a key stroke to reload the api server?

Could you pls describe this in more detail? How do you access the telemetry data? What is actually not working. If there is a bug the proper way is to fix it, not providing a restart key.

I run zm on Windows 10 1709 (great work by the way) with telemtry on port 2709 and i constantly monitor it via web browser (i also made a little C# app to query over json-rpc).

Currently i have issues with my broadband connection dropping several times a day and my ISP have me scheduled for a visit after several support calls. That being said, zm works fine, up time reaches over days but conn time resets every time my modem restarts the connection with my ISP, still telemetry works fine when connection is restored, but after about 2 days of this dropped connections the telemtry just stops working via web browser or my c# app. I ran this tests on the rig itself, even telnet cant open a connection. I "know" i has to be the connection issue but when the telemtry dies i have to log in to the rig and restart zm. Definitely not a deal breaker but maybe i just have to live with it while my ISP fix my line.

On my linux rig with 12 cards i'm getting a lot of "Duplicate share" messages, on windows i dont see this message. Is this normal? Question for the dev.

Yeah, me too. At least 30% of my shares are duplicates, that’s why i haven’t switched from dstm. I also run 12 GTX 1070 but on Windows, haven’t tried it in Linux.

Anyone know how to access the JSON-RPC server? Not the website but the raw JSON data behind the API

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a raw JSON data available (from what i can see)
Maybe @dstm could add that in the future?

The first post does seem to mention JSON api being available? It might be useful to provide a bit more info on that i guess.

You have a documentation inside the zipfile of the miner called json-rpc, everything needed in here.

Sorry to bother but, i'm with mlotis and cTnko on this one, what am I doing wrong?

@dstm

It seems to be there is a problem that might be related to the miner code. Sometimes the latency would just jump and the router hang:

This happens to me only when using ZMiner (using flypool to mine). It can happen 1-2 times per day and would stop router to work properly - making the whole LAN unusable.

I have called to ISP service and they said during this break, the router would spam their equipment with errors.

I am not 100% sure ZM causes this though. I can only say, that using other miners/scripts/pools doesn't create this kind of problem - only happens while using ZM and flypool.


https://image.prntscr.com/image/1eGDfJwKRBWEG1vN2uOX0A.png

This happens to me too, the modem/router eventually drops the broadband connection to my ISP and reconnects obtaining a new public IP several times a day. I even place a new router to handle all traffic and left the modem/router just as bridge and it's still happening. It's not new, 0.5.5 and 0.5.6 had this problem too.

You people really need to read the first post!

Latency is really helpful when “debugging“ stale shares.

Is there anybody on here that can answer some questions? Does DSTM have a API? And how do you view watts for each card and over all total of all cards? And view Invalid Shares for each card, over all total for all cards?

You should read the first post.

Code:
—telemetry=0.0.0.0:2222

My average hashrate behaviour since the 0.5.7 update, on Flypool.

Note: The dip you see at the beginning was because i changed a router so i took the rig offline for about 10 minutes.

Should be

Code:
--server stratum-zec.antpool.com --port 8899 --user przester28.1 --pass 123

Notice the --port 8899 argument.

I use flypool and the estimated hashrate reported by the pool is pretty much the same for both versions on my 8 gpu rig.

Same here.

Maybe there is an issue with dtsm and the zpool stratum ? also what cmdline do you use to start it ?

Have tried using zm.exe --server equihash.mine.zpool.ca  --port 2142 --user 17g2APRaoDz17mM4Vw9R1hSR6juVnKXGrk --pass x --telemetry 127.0.0.1:2222 --time

and zm --server equihash.mine.zpool.ca  --port 2142 --user 17g2APRaoDz17mM4Vw9R1hSR6juVnKXGrk --pass x --telemetry 127.0.0.1:2222 --time

Both were the same, didn't returned any shares.

Code:
--telemetry 0.0.0.0:2222

You're missing the equal sign and as toptek said, use 0.0.0.0 to bind all interfaces.


Code:
--telemetry=0.0.0.0:2222

Re: [ANN] Bminer: a fast Equihash miner for CUDA GPUs

FWIW, I just started mining a week ago and am still in the "trying different things out before I commit to buying any specialized hardware" phase, so I am not even remotely an expert. I also just started running bminer earlier today - currently at about 7 hours of mining Zcash on Nanopool...

That said, I haven't had any crashes, CPU usage (AMD FX-8300) is around 15% (according to Windows 10 task manager), and I am getting a software-reported hashrate of 190-193 Sols/s with a rinky-dink Zotac GTX 1050 Ti Mini that has been mildly overclocked (see details if interested below) with MSI Afterburner. I will be trying out a couple of other different miners but I want to let this one run for a full 24 hours first. I did run Excavator for about 15 minutes but it was reporting a terrible hashrate of around 100 Sols/s so I didn't investigate it further. I also have EWBF 0.3.4b and Claymore 10.2 to play with, but I likely won't bother with Claymore since the way it does the dev fee mining actually costs you over 1 minute per hour vs. 36 seconds if you aren't mining Ethereum because of the time it takes to change pools, generate the DAG for Ether, etc. Not to go off on a tangent in my own post, but my personal opinion is that dev fees should be paid  in whatever coin is being mined and by switching the payment address.

EDIT: one feature request so far - display the cumulative run time.

MSI Afterburner overclocking details: +86 on the core clock to 1795 (max possible is 1797); +196 on the mem clock to 3700. Lowering TDP resulted in a lower hashrate so no point in doing that while excessively increasing mem clock did nothing but make the card run hotter so it seems that both core and mem clock need to go up together for the most benefit.




That’s ok, you have to know your hardware just don’t make the same mistake i did. Don’t waste a lot of time benchmarking with just one card, it’s a completely different game multi GPU, especially in a 10+ GPU rig.

For me the miner starts and appears to be working but GPU's don't kick in... they stay cool as hell, fans even off and the miner software reports GPU0: 0.00 Sols/s  GPU1: 0.00 Sols/s..... It can stay this way for as long as i leave it like that. The miner keeps showing "Got new job..." but the pool never gets a share nor an active worker.

Rig:
12x Asus 1070 ROG Strix OC
Asrock H110 Pro BTC
Intel G4400
8GB RAM
120 SSD
2400W server PSU

OC:
Power Limit: 65
GPU Core: 95
Memory Core: 450
Target Temp: 70 (but the normally run at 56 - 62)
These settings works like a charm on dstm getting aprox. 4.24 Sols/W at a total of 5.1 KSols/s.

You are able to run 12 Nvidia cards on windows? Your system is stable?

Rock solid with EWBF, dstm can run for hours but sometimes just 10 minutes then restarts. That’s why i wanted to try bminer but looks i’m stuck with EWBF at 5K Sols/s.
