what everybody must be aware of, is that if you’re using optiminer with a higher percentage vs claymore with a lower percentage, you’re basically cutting yourself in your fingers if the hashrate for YOU would be the same.

example, let’s say you do on both miners 1000 sols (so, optiminer showing 1000 sols, fees already deducted, and claymore 1026 sols, where fees still need to be deducted).
if you would be the only one mining (or, if everybody would be using the same miner), that would mean:

with optiminer:
with 10%(?) dev fee, you would get 1000 sols for you, 100 sols for dev, you would get (1000/1100) => 90.91% because of the increased difficulty because of the higher dev fee

with claymore:
with 2.5% dev fee, you would get (97.5% of 1026 => ) 1000 sols for you, 26 sols for dev, you would get (1000/1026) => 97.47% because of the increased difficulty. so, a bigger part of the complete pie

feel free whatever miner you choose, just be aware that a higher dev fee adds more difficulty to the total pool, which also negatively affects your own earnings.

How Can I get this to run on reboot?

I’ve tried adding ./home/george/optminer-zcash/mine.sh in my rc.local file, and if I run ps -A on reboot it sees mine.sh, but the rig isn’t showing up on flypool. I’m running ubuntu 16.04. Any ideas?

1135

The script should have execute permissions. Do it with:
chmod +x /home/george/optminer-zcash/mine.sh

And you need this line in /etc/rc.local

/home/george/optminer-zcash/mine.sh

Without ‘.’ at the beggining.

Although I prefer to do this as a cron job. Edit your crontab:

crontab -e

and add this line:

@reboot /home/george/optminer-zcash/mine.sh

anyone have any insight on how to use the json monitoring port?

1137

Yes, just make an HTTP request to it (simply said, open web page with miner’s address and given port), and you’ll see json-formatted data that is self-explanatory. I use it with a nodejs utility that fetches GPU temps/fans from the system and exports data in the Claymore’s miner compatible format. So I monitor all miners (both Claymore’s and Optiminer’s) via Claymore’s ZecMon utility and own web-based tool.

1138

Hi, thanks so much for the help. So, I’ve tried these changes and still having problems. Right now I’m going with the cron job and the process seems to start ps 976 (the process id of mine.sh) outputs: 846 ? S 0:00 /bin/bash /home/george/optiminer-zcash/mine.sh the process doesn’t seem to die now but still not showing up on flypool

1139

Can you paste the contents of mine.sh?

1140

Yup! So, it’s working on some computers now, but not others. Here’s the output on a computer where it’s not working (although the optiminer process is running and stays running)

PS otuputs:
939 ? Sl 0:43 ./optiminer-zcash -s us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u t1JCTyzYgqufiATXM2HjfiobPKnNZxpXX5a.rig01r -p x --watchdog-timeout 30 --watchdog-cmd ./watchdog-cmd.sh

And mine.sh contains

#!/bin/bash
# General options
# The following line did not have any effect on my system but might reduce CPU usage on some.
# export GPU_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1

# Example pools

# Flypool:
# uses cash address as user
POOL=us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333

PASSWORD=x

# Nicehash:

#PASSWORD=WorkerPassword

cd "$(dirname "$0")"
while true
do
  ./optiminer-zcash -s $POOL -u $USER -p $PASSWORD --watchdog-timeout 30 --watchdog-cmd "./watchdog-cmd.sh"
  if [ $? -eq 134 ]
  then
    break
  fi
done

This looks normal to me. So the miner works correctly if you launch it manually and if it is by cron or by rc.local, it doesn’t?

1142

Yeah, the miner works correctly if i just execute mine.sh. With Cron. the crontab contains
@reboot /home/george/optiminer-zcash/mine.sh

1143

So, I changed the script to create a log and it’s getting this error:

2016-12-01 17:31:53,359 INFO  [stratum] Connecting to us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333

Might be networking is not up yet?
not sure if you can do something like
while (ifconfig eth0 down) {} ?
