Gminer equihash help please

[SpaceCase418]

i've been doing a lot of trial and error getting up to to speed. i cant for the life of me figure out the algo for port 3336. I got 3345 working but am running a nvidia3060 and want it on the more profitable algo. For port 3345 this is my working command line

miner.exe --algo 144_5 --pers auto --server prohashing.com:3345 --user SpaceCase418 --pass n= SpaceCapt w=120,p=0.1 --devices 0
pause

what is the algo for equihash? its not equihash as the worker configurator insists. will some one please fix my command line for me so that i can run on port 3336

miner.exe --algo ?????? --pers auto --server prohashing.com:3336 --user SpaceCase418 --pass n= SpaceCaptin w=120,p=0.1 --devices 0
pause

thank you

For equihash 144, I believe gminer uses --algo equihash144_5
For regular equihash, I believe gminer uses --algo equihash210_9

Though you may be better off mining Ethash with your GPU

It’s nerfed on eth. I was getting 24.3 mh/s. With equihash 144 I atleast get 60+ s/s Thanks for the algo!

I too had a lot of trouble getting gminer to do anything other than Etchash since the documentation is really sparse when it comes to what all of the possible arguments are and what they do. After a lot of experimentation, I got this command to work for Equihash using Proswitching and FPPS:

miner.exe --algo 192_7 --pers auto --server prohashing.com:3336 --user bMeister1 --pass a=equihash

You can add any other additional tweak arguments as necessary but the important parts are the "--algo" "--pers" and "--pass" arguments. Gminer supports four different versions of Equihash and what Prohashing labels as "Equihash" in the Configurator is Equihash 192_7. Gminer seems to prefer using just numbers rather than spelling the whole thing out. For the "--pers" argument, I found that setting it to anything other than "auto" never worked. Lastly, if you plan to use Proswitching, make sure to add the "a=equihash" argument in the "--pass" argument as well.

Keep in mind that there are ASICs for the <192, 7> n,k parameters for Equihash now. The ASICs have made that particular set of <n,k> far less profitable than the other <n,k> combinations for Equihash.

If you want to mine Equihash with a GPU, I suggest that you experiment with any of the other combinations of <n,k> that we offer besides <192,7>.

[SpaceCase418]

This is all great information. Is there a list anywhere of all the equihash variants that proswitching does support? So far we have:

144_5
192_7 (asic)
210_9

I thought I'd give equihash a go to see if it was more profitable than ethash.

I've got gminer going, the output shows jobs being processed and a Sol/s value, and the GPU fan spins up, but I don't get any shares. I'm using an 8GB RX580. The worker shows up in the dashboard but after a minute or so, I get 'A share has not been submitted for the worker.'

I've tried

miner.exe --algo equihash144_5 --pers auto --server prohashing.com:3336 --user BattleMetalChris --pass n=UpstairsGPUEquihash

and

miner.exe --algo equihash144_5 --pers auto --server prohashing.com:3336 --user BattleMetalChris --pass a=equihash,n=UpstairsGPUEquihash

Try putting just "144_5" in the --algo argument with the second command line you have there and see what happens.

For a single GPU rig is ethash still the most profitable?

miner.exe --algo ethash --server prohashing.com:3339

[Alynn]

So I will say when last I did calculations eth was best. However, at the threshold that the Sol/S value was 2.5X the value of the MH/s of Eth it was then more profitable. However that threshold hasn't been crossed in awhile.

Your best bet, run the algo for 24 hours get your average Sol/Hash rate do some math, figure out your ratios.
