EggMiner V4

BIS GPU Miner for EggPool (https://EggPool.net)

The V4 EggMiner Branch is compatible with both legacy Bismuth algorithm, and the new Bismuth Heavy3.
See for algo description https://github.com/bismuthfoundation/mining-algos/tree/master/Docs

How to install

  • Windows [Windows.md]
  • Linux [linux.md]
  • HiveOs [hiveos.md]

How to config

The config file for all versions is miner.cfg.
It's a test file, with # begin comments. So anything after a # is ignored.
If you change a config item, make sure there is no #at the line beginning or it won't have any effect.

The file itself comes with commented examples, but here is a detailled explanation of every setting: [https://github.com/EggPool/EggMinerGpu/blob/master/Version4/config.md]

How to run

  • Windows version comes with a bismuth.bat script.
    run that one instead of eggminer.exe , so the miner will be autorestarted should it crash.
  • Linux comes with a bismuth.sh bash script that does the same.
  • Hive Os does its stuff alone.

Troubleshooting

"invalid command queue"

This is the generic message for a gpu crash.
Most likely, too much overclock or temp too high.

Check your drivers (olders work better), try to underpower, lower overclock.

Linux, create context fails

Thanks to discord user yisus:

"Just a note for people who find this later. One common cause for this is the directory (or files within) ~/.nv being owned by root. This can happen if you're debugging/testing run with sudo, and it gets created as root instead of your local user. To fix it try wiping out the ~/.nv directory and starting fresh."

"Thanks @coderjoe I have been struggling with this for days, but after i read your comment i rm -rf'ed the ComputeCache folder inside .nv and retried my code and it worked."
