burstcoin-jminer v0.4.10 - GPU assisted PoC-Miner (All Platforms)
-
@CoinBuster What read speed limit?! Of your internet connection?! Speeds may be limited by cloud server ... on 10TB i'm quite sure that not GPU/CPU or your System is the bottleneck.
Check this post https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/2411/everybody-post-their-mining-rigs-show-photos/86 i'm just using one 280x ...
-
@luxe Exactly, I want to test this out. I am not sure where is the bottle neck if 32 vCPU went all the 100%while reading the plots. With the GPU assistance they only use 40% and the GPU 13% but I'm sure I can maximize it more to reach much higher reading speeds.
If I ran the same setup and reach the limit at 160mb/s I'll know that this is the cloud provider bottleneck.
-
@CoinBuster Speed provided by your cloud provider may vary depending on his current server load ... so may have nothing to do with jminer at all.
-
@luxe Maybe there was extra load at that time. I have to check again. Is there any chance to change the CPU GPU config with jminer ?
-
@CoinBuster Yes, even i see no big need for it :-) Like i told above, i already created a issue for it, to remind myself ... https://github.com/de-luxe/burstcoin-jminer/issues/27
But could take a week or two.
-
@luxe Thanks buddy I'll sure send some burst in your direction soon. Keep an eye out ;-)
-
@CoinBuster It's more difficult than i thought to add multiple openCL devices with same miner instance ... the code is just not prepared for that, yet. So i fear there will be no quick fix.
-
@luxe Ok. Thanks for looking into that. Is it make sense to you that I mine faster on a VPS with 16vCPU then with a VPS with Nvidia K80 GPU ? it's seems that i have a GPU bottleneck ?
-
@CoinBuster Not sure that Nvidia K80 seams to be a beast ... maybe the openCL drives for it are not very well. Guess must who have such hardware use cuda ... like discussed above, i do not think that cpu or your GPU is bottleneck, have you monitored it?! Is it really on 100% while mining?!
-
I moved my plot files to a NAS and started getting this error:
"ERROR 2304 --- [ readerPool-2] b.j.c.reader.task.ReaderLoadDriveTask : IOException: Bad file descriptor"Any ideas on how to troubleshoot or fix this error?
Thanks in advance!
-
@Rev Was there a stacktrace/more details on that error? I searched for that error, the only thing i found, that it may be related to file permissions ... so ensure the user executing the miner has needed permissions on your NAS, but i have no idea how to configure that, maybe you can figure out.
ps: sorry for late response, i simply missed your question, maybe use @luxe next time, so i get messaged :-)
-
@luxe Thanks for response. I had to increase the "chunkPartNonces" to 960000 or above to solve the problem with wifi connection, cabled 1G ethernet to NAS was no problem.
-
@Rev Well, glad you found a solution ... even if i do not understand why changing that makes a difference in this case :-)

burstcoin-jminer-0.4.6-SNAPSHOT
Download:
https://github.com/de-luxe/burstcoin-jminer/releases
Updates:
- 2nd best deadline will get queued and committed, in case that best deadline does not get confirmed. Or in other words, best not confirmed deadline will no longer block next best from getting committed. This should ensure to get as much shares on pool mining as possible.
- Updated libs to current versions (including latest jocl lib, hopefully not causing older gpu's not working 'again')
- Some minor changes to prevent useless / obfuscated error messages
-
Ok I heard about this J-Miner and I do have a Gpu so, that leads me to ask myself "why am I using the Cpu-Miner"? Maybe because this is what I heard to use when first learning. I heard that the 'Blago' Cpu-Miner was the best. But I would like to try out J-Miner as I do have a Gpu. I have a Nivida 1080, should this work fine and is it as easy to set-up as the Blago?
This is what made me want to try out the J-Miner - "GPU-MINER "J-Miner' > sCANS faster than a CPU-miner WHICH gives you an advantage to report to the 'pool' quicker". I read this somewhere here I believe, can't remember.
So, is 4.6 the latest release and do we really need to download the CL-Driver - http://jocl.org/ and of course the latest Java, correct?
Thx y0u!
-
@tradz GPU jminer works faster then CPU miner
-
@Blago Thx f0r the response but do you think you 0r anyone reading this with the knowledge, can answer my questions above. Starting with "is it as easy to set-up as Blago"?
I guess instructions will be given inside the downloaded file, correct? And is 4.6 the lastest release?
Thx

burstcoin-jminer-0.4.6-SNAPSHOT de-luxe released this 2 days ago. https://github.com/de-luxe/burstcoin-jminer/releases
also it's contain good readme: https://github.com/de-luxe/burstcoin-jminer
- edit 'jminer.properties' with text editor to configure miner
- ensure java8 (64bit) and openCL driver/sdk is installed
- execute 'java -jar -d64 -XX:+UseG1GC burstcoin-jminer-0.4.x-RELEASE.jar' or run the .bat/.sh file
'-d64' to ensure 64bit java (remove for 32bit) '-XX:+UseG1GC' to free memory after round finished.
The miner is configured in a text-file named 'jminer.properties'. This file has to be in the miner directory (same folder as '*.jar' file)
devPool=true plotPaths=D:/,C:/,E:/plots,F:/plots numericAccountId=<YOUR NUMERIC ACCOUNT ID> poolServer=http://pool.com:port
-
Thanks @Blago for helping out, while i was sleeping :-)
@tradz Just give it a try, both miners have their strenghts ... feel free to ask if you have a issue.
jocl.org is just the java lib used by jminer, it is not the openCL driver itself, but on that page they link to the drivers of different manufacturers.OpenCL support is included in the latest NVIDIA GPU drivers, available at www.nvidia.com/drivers
source: https://developer.nvidia.com/opencl
So you may not need to install additional software to use OpenCl.
-
@Blago I thank you as well Blago! This was or is very helpful. Now I have a better understanding ;) Blagone!!!
I will report back here if I run into issues...
