Just a heads up that the Mega site down load of nvOC3.2 is corrupted and is only 2.85gigs while Google Drive is over 10 gigs. Had a long and hard fight as to why it would not boot up normal.

On your search for where the miners are launched, I have zeroed in on the Screen.rc files. As I still have issues with Python code, I have not figured it out either. Papampi is the man of the hour there. As of now, A 10head and a 4 head up and running 3.2 with all upgrades. Viva la Papampi.

And a big thanks to all of you who made NVOC happen and made it better

 Oh well, finally stumbled on it. All the examples here and on most sites is for WBloz.
I use linux for all my mining machines as it is more stable. Well most of them, barring
a bad MB along the way.

If you are using UBU 16.04 and would like to know how, hit me up, glad to help you out.
It's a split setup. Now on to see if this coin is going to make me anything worth the power
consumed.

  Well I have dug at this for ever. Trying to get V5 to work with BTCZ. I have it connecting but giving an error on the pool and then rejecting all shares found. Yet it is mining just fine.
the command line and info is this:
  
# EWBF ZEC Miner version
EWBF_VERSION="3_4" # choose 3_3  or  3_4

# EWBF ZEC Miner optional arguments. add "--api $IPW:42000" if you want web info
EWBF_OPTS="--server mine-btcz-na.equipool.1ds.us --port 50062 --usr t1SgCLpJVGvVg5C8K7pfExw15MYE4RSRj5t.ti5000 --pass minpayout=.002 --algo 144_5 --pers BitcoinZ"

I have actually copied V5 into 3_4's dir so as not to have problems getting it to find 5.  I am on UBU 16.04

I mine ETH mostly but have to find other when they go POS.   Any ideas?

I recently had a machine of 5 GTX1050 TI cards take a dump and then never come back.
Said something like couldn't write DAG file. These are 4 Gig cards so should still be able to
run. I even tried the newer 2.0 with same results.

Are these cards even workable now? Due to the upcoming dif bomb in Oct, figure I want
to egg out all I can get from the systems before all breaks. Will have to see what's left
after it and the proposed hard fork.

One rig 22mhX6 for 132MH drawing 680w VS 10Kh @300W is going to be a threat?   Where?
 Oh and each unit does cost 2K and you can only have one for now. Hmmmmm.

  Not sure this will be relevant but your system of 12 cards using one 850 psu for the risers is how I killed two psu. I only had 7 cards running and it was too much for the Sata channels to handle. One psu will be good for 6 sata devices so I think you are browning out the main psu. Once I dropped back on card count, no more problems. In the end, I gave up on the Server psu's and went with dual 1000w psu's.

   Concerning the Vbasic version of this, has anyone here used it?    I did a 80G HD with the img and let it run for a while but not sure if it was really doing much for me. It was logging shares at an impressive rate but then there are 90+ thousand miners you will "share with" too. How does it rate with the 2.0 S/W at the end of the day?  Actually is a very swift and easy way to get to the mining arena. Guess it auto converts to BTC for you then you send that to the exchange instead of the ETH.

  Hi all:
   Well been one hell of a move but finally back on line and mining away. Well, almost.  In reading the last few pages, I have had the same freezing and rebooting problems as well. Has been a long road to find the cause of it. I did try the  less overclocks but that really didn't help much. Well, I finally found out what was doing it. It was the temp control program trying to adjust the speed of the fans. Somewhere in the mix it loses the connection with one or more cards but doesn't trigger a reboot. When the utilization falls past the set point, then watchdog does print a message stating that and reboots.
   So by not running the temp control and using a set fan speed high enough to keep things cool, I am running now with no reboots at all.

This all really started now that the hot weather is here. While it was cool all was good

hope this helps others.       Thay

I have been looking at how well I could be doing using the WTM switcher system here. I did quite a long data set with 4 coins listed  ETH ETC ZEC and BCG as my choices. At first there was quite a lot of switching being done. But lately with the last blood bath, ETH has stayed at the top of the list followed with ETC and then ZEC. BTG being the low dog on the block.

I was wondering how well others have been doing in the other coin arenas. I would love to hear which coins you do and why. After all my testing I have decided to just leave the rigs on ETH and see how I fare out. So far, I have done well. This is of course  just my direction to go. There are so many to choose from any more it boggles the mind.
 
All my miners are now GTX1060 except one which is a GTX1050TI and my first one. As a side, all the GTX1060 3G cards have went south under the strain. GRINS

I use just my wallet  pool and port on ethermine. Only one I could connect to and work.

    Hey thanks much for the link. I already have one addy with that group. Look and feel are the same anyhow.
Setup went well and now have a useable address to experiment with. 

   See, this is what the forum is definately for.  Helping others. We all have to start some where. Can remember
when I first joined a forum. I was seen nothing more than competition  and answers were far and few between.
In fact my first few days of mining went to the bit bucket as I didn't even know you had to have a wallet. Did
not get told either.

@tomlev5
    I have one of the H110's and am real sorry I got it. It has a very bad habit of lock up. I have currently 5 machines on the network and when it does, all of them go down. I am in the process of replacing it with a pair of H81 even tho they are older and only 6 slot.  The one I have now (H81) is a rock.

@Pampi
    Was wanting to ask if NVOC 2.0 will auto update or do I have to do it manual?   I have had to instances now of machines locking up and it seems due to the update of drivers. That means that it is still updating but I have it all shut off. Does NVIDIA check on that side of the coin?  Once I do a manual update and restart, all is good.

@all
   I have been looking into mining ETC but cannot find a wallet that will work short of getting a hardware one. Any ideas of one that will?  Tried Parity but it will never sync for me.

Just no way that you can be running 6 GTX1070's from one 850W PS. I cant even run 6 1060's on one with out utilization errors. Had to take one out. Need a bigger PS there on the main. Go for the 75% load rule and it will run cool and solid.

Hi Pampi:
   Some time ago, I ask how to time stamp WTM so I could set up a monitor on what was to be the best over all coin to be mining. I agree I have my choices of what I think is the best and will be biased by that. On the WTM coin list I chose ETH,ZEC,and BTG. That to me was the most profitable bunch to stay with. I agree that there are many others out there that will say different. That is why we are different. We see things in a different light. So be it.
   At the end of my little trial run, I have found that over all ETH is the best money maker out of the three I chose. So instead of having the WTM keep changing my miners for me, it seems to me that just having it mine ETH all the time, I will profit the best. I know some of y ou have voiced that you would like to see the results so here it is.

I have come to the conclusion that WTM is good for telling me when to sell what ever coin I am mining, but in over all, the spread sheet of what coin is the most mined is what I should stick with. That way, I am not switching miners all the time. Of course, that is just my simple feelings on it.

I said I would post my results and that is simply what this is. By all means go with your heart and mine the coins that appeal most to you. I am in it for the long run and willing to ride out the low points in what ever coin I chose for me.

Happy  mining and Pampi, your WTM tool is invaluable to me. Thanks so much for your contribution to this effort.

   All I got from Mega.NZ was that I have to install some piece of S/W before I can d/l it.
Just what I need is more unknown stuff running.

Will wait for the  FR site and try it.

    Running Claymore I used to be able to use the keyboard commands 0-9 and s for stats. Now they just print to the window I am in and no effect. Is this to be permanent? Sure was helpful.

thay

Oh darn, my bad.  EWBF I use for BTG.  But the Ver20 switches auto to it when it shows best.

@NameTaken
   Have you by chance did a byte by byte file comparison of both xorgs?  I am wondering if you have an erroneous character in there some where that is being the culprit.
Something on the lines of a shift space or that nature. Have seen that raise hell in programs before.

Just a thought on that.  I think diff would work since they are txt type files.

thay

Yes it can. I do off and on do a run on BTG. I use Claymores miner and it works great. Good steady hash rate.  I do use 1060's tho but the '80s should be faster is all.

   For those people who are considering to use a RPi as a controller, just remember it does use a micro sd and I did burn up two 64 gig
playing around with them. They work wonderful and you can do a lot with them but when the max write limit is hit, bye bye. Both my
Pie's are on the shelf with me wondering what to do with them.
