Igfx Intel + AMD GPU's

[Rakly3 6]

If people run into problems with this setup combination [title] you can use nsgminer with these commands in a .bat file

cgminer --neoscrypt --no-nvml --no-submit-stale --gpu-platform 1 -o http://127.0.0.1:8396/wallet/game.dat -u USER -p PASSWORD -I 8

if you use nsgminer you have to change that frm cgminer ofcourse.
-I will be different depending on your card, 8 is the default setting.
gpu-platform 1 is ONLY for systems with a Intel Igfx.

If you also have nvidea cards in the setup, remove the "-no-nvml" command. This command skips nvidea detection.
If the miner closes by itself you can add another line at the end with just the word pause , that way you can read the error.

Have you been getting  blocks with your AMD setup? nsgminer on my AMD rigs have reported at least 3-4 blocks found, but no CHI is awarded to me in the Electron wallet.

 

CCminer and my Nvidia rigs don't have this problem, so my AMD rigs are back to ETH/XMR mining for now.

Were the blocks just not matured yet? It takes a number of blocks before they're available. I forget the number at the moment. 

Also, did you check whether you were looking at your vault or game wallet? There are 2 wallets in the XAYA Electron wallet.

They never show up. I originally thought that maybe I was unlucky enough to get stale blocks, but 10-15 blocks found reported by the nsgminer, but nothing shows up in transactions in Electron, vault or game wallets, and only on my AMD rigs. The wallets associated with my Nvidia rigs are filling up with CHI, so I know about how the transactions panel in the game wallet should look.

 

It might just be poor support from the many neoscrypt mining programs for solo mining with AMD, what's the progress with mining pools for CHI? I think I saw someone say they wanted to start one on Telegram the other day.

are you running the daemon?

if so, run with -debug=1

mine a block on testnet

and see what it says in debug.log

 

let me know if you need more help with that

No I was using nsgminer  for AMD (ccminer for Nvidia) along with cookie as login info from electron wallet. I'm new to mining neoscrypt, CHI is my first.

I'm assuming I have to input something into the console in electron or command prompt to the directory to mine that way? I've called getmininginfo() before.

Hi,

I'm new to mining.

I have an AMD video card along with intel GPU (iGPU).

When I launch nsgminer with the command in the post above, I'm getting these errors:

 

 

Searching with google it seems to be a problem related to iGPU.

So I tried the following command for GPU mapping:

nsgminer -n option

and output is this:

As we can see in this screenshot, my AMD video card is platform 0.

So added --gpu-platform 0 to the command for mining and this is the resulting command:

nsgminer --neoscrypt --no-nvml --no-submit-stale -o http://127.0.0.1:8396/wallet/game.dat -u __cookie__ -p PASSWORD -I 16 --gpu-platform 0 --no-adl

but it's not working and no error on output.

With debugging option enabled I get this:

Can anybody help me?

[snailbrain 83]

when you specify the user and password

try with -u <rpcuser> -p <rpcpassword ... in stead of -O

also run the daemon with -debug=1

and check what it is saying in there

Yep I'm not using -O for authentication.

I'm using -u for user and -p for password.

This is the command I'm using:

nsgminer --neoscrypt --no-nvml --no-submit-stale -o http://127.0.0.1:8396/wallet/game.dat -u __cookie__ -p PASSWORD -I 16 --gpu-platform 0 --no-adl

Where should I put -debug=1?

Thanks for your help

[snailbrain 83]

you will need to edit the .bat files in the xaya install dir in program files and stick in somewhere in there (there is 2 in each .bat file).

or you could start the daemon separately and not use the electron wallet.

In the attachment there's the log of debug console.

Set
-i 0
0  (zero) = autoselect , just to eliminate that as a problem.

I also found this command:
disable X-Long-Polling support
--no-longpoll

I'm not sure if it needs a device id, ie, 0 or 1 in your case  or if the commands will even work. It's from CCminer (Nvidea)
By which I mean --no-longpoll 0

 

Also these

--no-gbt disable getblocktemplate support (height check in solo) --no-stratum disable X-Stratum support

Edited July 20, 2018 by Rakly3

Oh, and... you have the wallet running?

Tried with --no-longpoll it starts but hashrate remains to 0.0 KH/s.

This is what I'm getting:

This is what I'm getting:

--gpu-platform 1
setting 1 is only for systems with intel gfx and AMD cards. All others should either not use it or use setting (minus one) -1
For a simple test make a .bat file with
sgminer --gpu-platform 1 -n
pause

Kinda hard to troubleshoot now, cuz now my miner doesn't find pool anymore and also have a dead rig. /sigh

EDIT, no wait, that's for sgminer, not claymore. Maybe it works on both...

Ah yup, your AMD is on platform 1 device 0

so you have to add --gpu-platform 1 in your launch commands.
That way it skips your igfx

Added it to the OP.

 

btw found a pretty neat website

I'm trying to set up a VPS pool, but it's really difficult (never done it before)

Thanks for the support man.

Just tried but no luck.

I'll wait for pool mining.

Anyway thanks again.

BTW I found why my miner didn't work any more. Maybe you have the same problem.

Every time you luanch the xaya-electron app, it generates a new password. I tried making it a fixed one, but it doesn't work (yet).
Also make sure your xaya-electron app is up, connected and synced. The daemon has to be running. Before you start you miner.
As you can see in my screenshot, I set the data dir override to a much easier to find directory (my documents). Now the .cookie file is there every time I run the app.

I noticed it when I was running the standalone deamon.
You can't run the daemon that launches with the app and the standalone together (on the same port)

 

BTW, can you check in your miner's folder there is a neoscrypt.cl file?
If not, you'll have to get it.

this is what my nsgminer.conf after I let the miner generate a config file with default settings. (Don't use your .bat file if you want to use the .conf file. simply run the miner .exe itself)
It's basically a json file

I found a package that worked straight out of the box here.

https://cryptomining-blog.com/3715-new-cgminer-3-7-8-with-improved-neoscrypt-performance/

Extract and edit the START-AMD.BAT
To start set --intensity (or -I) to 8.  You can change it later once you have everything up and running.)
Don't mind the no longpoll warning, It will take a couple of seconds per GPU before the mining starts. It's compiling the .bin files for your GPU.

As a reminder, every time you launch xaya-electron you have to set the new password from the .cookie file. Don't have the .cookie file open while launching the app.

If your PC locks up after a bit, we're gonna have to set some throttling parameters with a .conf file

any ideas why this is all that I see? Is it working? what can I do to fix it?
