v3.8.1 (Windows): command line parameter '-devices ' no longer working

[UselessGuru]

In v3.7.7 I could successfully select the mining devices with '-devices 1,2,3....'

This does no longer work with v3.8.1. No matter what values I set for '-devices' NanoMiner will always use all devices.

I tried -devices option and it seems working. I can not reproduce this issue. What is your full command line?

What is your full command line?

One example: NanoMiner-v3.8.1\nanominer.exe -algo Etchash -pool1 etchash.auto.nicehash.com:9200 -useSSL false -wallet ################################ -rigName '##############' -rigPassword x -algo Kaspa -pool1 kheavyhash.eu.mine.zergpool.com:5555 -useSSL false -wallet ##################### -rigName '##################' -rigPassword c=BTC,ID=#########,pl=0 -mport 0 -webPort 4001 -checkForUpdates false -noLog true -watchdog false -devices 1

I only select ONE device, but the DAG is built on may devices: __ ()_ _ _ | ' \ / | '_ \ / _ \| '_ | | ' \ / _ \ '| | | | | (| | | | | () | | | | | | | | | | / | || ||_,|| ||_/|| || |||| ||__||

This option works for each algorithm/coin separately. In your command line one device is selected only for Kaspa. In order to set device 1 for all algorithms, the -devices 1 option must be written after each algorithm declaration.

In your case it will be the following command line: NanoMiner-v3.8.1\nanominer.exe -algo Etchash -devices 1 -pool1 etchash.auto.nicehash.com:9200 -useSSL false -wallet ################################ -rigName '##############' -rigPassword x -algo Kaspa -pool1 kheavyhash.eu.mine.zergpool.com:5555 -useSSL false -wallet ##################### -rigName '##################' -rigPassword c=BTC,ID=#########,pl=0 -mport 0 -webPort 4001 -checkForUpdates false -noLog true -watchdog false -devices 1
