Two GPUs/two computers, all invalid blocks on development snapshot #306

Open mathemaphysics opened 4 years ago

mathemaphysics commented 4 years ago

I compiled the development snapshot of XMRig-Nvidia on two Nvidia GPUs (Tesla K40c and GTX 1050 Ti) using CUDA 10.1 on two different machines on Ubuntu (18 for Tesla K40c, 19 for GTX 1050 Ti) and I'm getting all shares invalid. The first ran on nvidia-384 and the second one on nvidia-435 drivers.

I've been blocked from minexmr.com now for a while because of all the invalid results. Do I need to use a release? I used cryptonight-lite and then cryptonight-heavy (and the others briefly). They produce the same invalid results.

The only answer I've found pertaining to this problem is that the GPUs are overclocked. They aren't. Neither one. Especially not the GTX 1050 Ti. It ran at 54 degrees C with no extra cooling for an hour. And of course I haven't intentionally overclocked either.

In the configuration I used "coin": "monero" and "algo": "cryptonight-lite". Is this incompatible? I tried the basic cryptonight, but I get the complaint that the algorithm is old. Is it up to date?

This miner is obsolete, NVIDIA is now part of unified miner https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig New Monero algorithm is RandomX and it is not cryptonight at all and in general bad idea use GPUs for mine Monero, it possible, but CPUs outperform GPUs. Thank you.

Okay. Thanks for letting me know.
