1.8.1.8 ccminer didn't work starting from yesterday, except ccminer_alexis Version

[xiaoyaoyang]

It turns out not only benchmark (terminated while benchmarking), the NHML won't work for some algorithms either. And this issue showed up on yesterday night. Before yesterday I was able to mining with all algorithms fine.

Algorithms don't work: lyra2rev2, Neoscript, shrunk Algorithms do work: Nist5, Equihash, X11_

Any idea is appreciated

Terminal while running lyra2rev2: Cuda error in func 'keccak256_cpu_init' at line 299 : unknown error.

Nist5 give me : Cuda error in func 'scanhash_nist5' at line 85 : unknown error.

I can only suggest a test for workaround based on release notes here: https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases

@jojobg thanks for replaying! I think I misunderstood the problem, it is not specific \ccminer_nanashi\ccminer.exe , but almost all ccminers.. except for Nist5_alexis and X11_alexis, I think it works because it use different version ccminers(I don't know which one..) I am trying to reinstall drivers to 390..

[xiaoyaoyang]

@jojobg Inspired by your comment, by copying ccminer.exe from /x11_ghost to all the other ccminer folders, it solve the problem. The ccminer.exe in the x11_ghost seems like the only one works. I still think something is wrong with the ccminer..

[jojobg]

wrong approach man, you should have replaced only the ones that are the same version, now you have overwritten KlasuT and etc... you will be failing with the algorithms that are not supported by alexis version.

[xiaoyaoyang]

@jojobg Agree... I keep a backup miner folder though... just want to play around and see what cause the issue. now Neoscript and ewbf equihash are failing.... oh my..

It probably still my setting issue, otherwise I feel people are going to complain a lot..

[xiaoyaoyang]

Solved the issue totally by reinstalling the driver.. somehow Nicehash think my driver version is old, so that the ccminer that require new driver fail
