xmrig VS xmrig-cuda

I am cpu mining on Moneroocean and I can see my rigs on the dashboard. I am playing with a gpu miner which is finally running but I do not see it on the dashboard. It is running for an hour now but it is not visible on https://moneroocean.stream/. Is this because the port is different? 10128 for gpu and 10343 for CPU. If so where can I see stats of my gpu rig.

So I've started monero mining on https://moneroocean.stream/ about like 3-4 hours agoMining on my RPi 4 with XMRig below is the pool details (got from ChuckNoris YT)

Over the last 12 hours or so 2 of my 3 CPU miners have stopped showing on the Monero Ocean interface at https://moneroocean.stream.

Check out the autoswitching version of xmrig (for CPUs) forked by monero ocean here: https://github.com/MoneroOcean/xmrig/releases/tag/v6.20.0-mo1

You can mine Ergo, ETC, or RVN on Monero Ocean and get paid in XMR. https://moneroocean.stream/

Don't forget to check out MoneroOcean, maybe it has already caught on to this wave. (Then it would all become easier for you.)

This is where moneroocean comes in. While it's not recommended to mine on a big pool (to avoid centralization of the Monero network), moneroocean lets you mine shitcoins and exchange them with Monero. They also provide a custom XMRig build for that purpose.

It is a bit confusing. When you're mining on a pool like Moneroocean then shares don't matter. They're just a way of proving to the pool that you've done a certain amount of work, and the pool will usually adjust things so you send shares often enough but not too often. Basically you don't have to worry about them. Check your balance on the pool's website, in this case https://moneroocean.stream/

Use your GPU to mine some other algo on MoneroOcean and receive the payment for mining in XMR… ,maximize the efficiencies of other Lagos that are designed for GPU mining and get more XMR

MO Github Link

For Windows you can get the plugin precompiled from MoneroOcean/xmrig-cuda releases just match whatever is closest to your nvidia-smi CUDA runtime version (top right corner)

Setup another clone of the whole xmrig folder, change cpu->enabled:false and cuda->enabled:true, get moneroocean CUDA plugin, let it test all algorithms. Will earn more than the CPU. Run them both at the same time. If both enabled in the single xmrig session that locks algo to the same on both which would never be optimal.

Linux requires you to build the plugin yourself since there are no releases of MO/xmrig-cuda for it. Rough instructions are here, scroll down to the CUDA section. For proper toolkit, check nvidia-smi for what version of CUDA your driver contains (top right corner) then get that CUDA Toolkit.

GT620 is a Fermi based thing, that will work with CUDA 8.0, you'll have to run old drivers (probably 391.35) and obtain the MoneroOcean fork of xmrig-cuda for 8.0 release from me because official MoneroOcean repo doesn't build releases for 8.0 and I just built this for another user on here recently (will keep it updated too).

Then I go grab the MoneroOcean/xmrig-cuda release for that (or below) and xmrig-cuda-v6.15.1-mo2-cuda10_1-win64.zip fits that requirement.

If you need the CUDA plugin for xmrig then also use the MoneroOcean fork of xmrig-cuda or it will not understand cn-gpu.

Also if using the xmrig-cuda plugin for nvidia GPUs, use their fork as well or you will be missing cn-gpu algorithm support (it would be in the miner / but the plugin would fail to understand it).

Use the cuda10_2 release and see if it works.

MoneroOcean xmrig-cuda

The main things that are the same are: * Use MO forks of everything: xmrig xmrig-cuda plugin (if nvidia) * Setup cpu-only xmrig as normal. Give rig-id in pass field (rigName:[email protected]) * Setup another separate folder configured cpu off and cuda or opencl on with different rig-id * Let each run their benchmarking and generate algo-perf * Run them both
