Miner- [NiceHash] Zcash CPU/GPU for Linux and Windows

Mining
1644

Where do you mine? Which pool?

1645

Your pool

-l equihash.usa.nicehash.com:3357

1646

GPUs are running but zero sols/s, any idea whats happening?

(I’m mining on nh btw)

1647

Using device 0 as GPU 0
Using device 1 as GPU 0

Is this standard ?

1648

ok, restarting several times and eventually it started producing sols…

1649

Also if you want more threads use -ot but its per GPU so needs to be something like
-ot 2 2 2 2 2

For 2 threads per GPU

if i’m using -l usa, it gives me failed to connect error. works fine on 0.3a

1651

You will need to provide the full url and port -l equihash.usa.nicehash.com:3357 it should work

1652

Miner has same problem as Genoid. During reconnect it stops hashing

1653

That is a feature, not a bug. If connection is lost, miner would stop mining.

1654

After it reconnects it doesnt hash again until you restart the program

1655

Will take a deeper look into this later.

Can silent army solver be implemented/optimized with nvidia for a gain over existing tromp solver? Extremal’s SA for nvidia always crashes, and this 0.4a is still just tromp for nvidia right?

1657

cuda-tromp is still the fastest and most reliable public solver for NVIDIA cards, silentarmy can reach about the same speed, but not so stable, so why not use cuda-tromp?

Some possible solution for this?

1659

finish your .bat with -t 0 -od 0

I replied to you in another thread :wink: Set some device/CPU to be utilized…

Two more questions now.

Everything runs fine on Windows, as above. Now I’m in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I get through the Linux instructions for using xenoncat’s solver at github just fine (GitHub - nicehash/nheqminer: Equihash miner for NiceHash).

However, the Run instructions give me “nheqminer: command not found”. (I’m typing “nheqminer -h” in the same directory the Build instructions leave me in, fwiw.) So:

  1. For CPU mining with xenoncat on Linux (Ubuntu 14.04 in this case), where do I enter “nheqminer -h”? (Or is that not it at all?)

  2. In Windows, I notice there was a separate EXE for getting paid in ZEC. The Linux instructions don’t make any mention of this. Will the -h flag tell me everything I need to know? (If not, what are the undocumented differences I need to know, to get paid directly in ZEC?)

  1. Looks like your build failed that is why you get command not found. We will fix linux tomorrow and maybe even release bins or give really good linux build instructions.

  2. No separate EXE in latest ver, just set -l URL where you would like to mine.

re: your answers

  1. Okay. Partial log file here: 0bin - encrypted pastebin

  2. I understand this to mean it is not necessary to use the 0.3a? (If so, your Windows documentation does not yet reflect this, fyi.) Is this correct?
