Miner- Zogminer: Linux SILENTARMY

niko · November 1, 2016, 11:52pm

anyway we could get you to upload example files for each?

each of that?

Yep, I was out so quickly typed that comment. I’ve corrected it now. Thanks

cryptomined · November 2, 2016, 1:33am

im going to passout then try your suggestion when I wake up
ifI have any trouble or get confused Ill be back
Thanks for posting how to do that , its really helpful

Cryptomined… although i’m old school redhat programmer, I have no problems pitching in and helping to make a ubuntu distro for zec mining.

Hey guys : I almost have a “MinerBbsitter” able to restart staled threads ready . will share it asap
Really great work on this miner Devs !

cryptomined · November 2, 2016, 1:49am

people would be very thankful if you did I am sure
Im using ubuntu with zog now, better results than windows and genoil.

awesome

Here is the script I use to auto restart each instance. It’s old school but it will do the trick.
Just put it into Zogminer folder and run it : it will write and start all threads and start to monitor each one.
It is configured for 6 GPU’s max .
Njoy !

 #!/bin/bash
 ### You need script , screen and moreutils - run this :
 ###  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install typescript moreutils screen

WALLET=$( echo "t1RVpR7U9ZA5SU94tXzEu7sLBtZrBkq4Vrf")  ### YOUR WALLET 
 ### Input your pool 
POOL=$(echo '"stratum+tcp://us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333"') ### YOUR POOL - please use the double   '"   and   "'   !!

GPU=6  ### How many GPU's you have 

 ### Maxtime is the maximum lag time allowed before restarting the miner .. 
 ### Be aware there is some lag from the time the miner executes hashes and the time the script writes it in the file.
 ### I have a good result with 300 sec
 
MAXTIME=300
DONNATE=1    ### To enable donations 
DONNWALLET=$(echo "t1MEUYR6yu9hYQ31ECWmijVwx9R6pAXQSTy")
 ### If you want to give some love back - Only GPU 0 will mine in this wallet - given your pool needs only a wallet as username

@voxelot @Age

Many thanks finally able to run solo on GCN1 cards but I am confused on how to let say run 4 out of 5 cards?

Rabinovitch · November 2, 2016, 8:29am

Guys, I see in this description about solo-mining, that “addnode=betatestnet.z.cash”. Will it be possible to solo mine Zcash on live mainnet with nginnever’s Zcash fork?
Sorry for probably stupid question…

omaralv · November 2, 2016, 8:47am

You should be able to. It should be working now.

Rabinovitch · November 2, 2016, 8:51am

Then could anyone be so kind to describe the procedure of solo-mining setup for such a Linux noobs like me? )) Probably in dedicated thread…

neo · November 2, 2016, 9:03am

Hi @omaralv

How Would i run 4 out of 5 cards on solo? I compiled the multi-solo.

omaralv · November 2, 2016, 9:30am

You need to use GitHub - nginnever/zcash: zcash.

Then just follow zcash guide for mining Home · zcash/zcash Wiki · GitHub.

Just add to config file:

genproclimit=1 or 2
allgpu=1
GPU=1

Then:

./src/zcashd

neo · November 2, 2016, 9:43am

Hi @omaralv

“-allgpu” would call all gpu’s. I have a gpu that I dont want to use for mining but cant remove it out. If I call -allgpu with it inside, it causes abnormal runs on equihashsolver.

Is there a way to call let say only 4 cards out of 5 cards in a setup?

nhqminer has implemented “-cd 1 2 3 4” leaving gpu 0 out
genoil also implemented it with “-g 1 2 3 4” leaving gpu 0 out.
I cant figure it out on zogminer multi-gpu.
Please help.

Thanks much.

cryptomined · November 2, 2016, 10:04am

Thanks slym85, im going to give it a shot now

Streetlight · November 2, 2016, 10:06am

I need a Cryptomined Video to show how’s its done.

Age · November 2, 2016, 10:07am

This looks awesome! I’ll have a play!
Thanks for the contribution!!

cryptomined · November 2, 2016, 10:09am

once i get these scripts working im working on the video
already recordmydesktop’ed the installation and initial run on one GPU
thanks for the support streetlight, and everyone here

omaralv · November 2, 2016, 10:20am

Not right now. You need to use different instances for that and not use allgpu option:

./src/zcashd -S=0
./src/zcashd -S=1
…

We will add it in the future though.

cryptomined · November 2, 2016, 10:47am

so when I run the scrypt i get:

starting monitoring
autostart.sh 100 autostart.sh: Syntax error: redirection unexpected

did I do something wrong?

Thanks
