Well, the plugin looks to not be there. While I followed this guide, notably (because they are not in the guide), I changed:
`cuckoo_miner = { path = "./cuckoo-miner", version = "0.5.1" }`
to
`cuckoo_miner = { path = "./cuckoo-miner", version = "0.5.1", features = ["build-cuda-plugins"]}`
in Cargo.toml, while in grin-miner.toml I commented out:
`#[[mining.miner_plugin_config]]`
`#plugin_name = "cuckaroo_cpu_compat_29"`
`#[mining.miner_plugin_config.parameters]`
`#nthreads = 1`
and uncommented:
`[[mining.miner_plugin_config]]`
`plugin_name = "cuckaroo_cuda_29"`
`[mining.miner_plugin_config.parameters]`
`device = 0`
`cpuload = 1`
`ntrims = 176`
`genablocks = 4096`
`genatpb = 128`
`genbtpb = 128`
`trimtpb = 512`
`tailtpb = 1024`
`recoverblocks = 1024`
`recovertpb = 1024`
I am trying to test out mining with my 1080. Should my configuration be different?

Figured it out. just had to rebuild with `cargo build` after changing the Cargo.toml. Also, just as a side note, I unknowingly uncommented a bunch of tweaking parameters in grin-miner.toml originally, so I went back and commented them out again, leaving my changes to the grin-miner.toml file as:
`[[mining.miner_plugin_config]]`
`plugin_name = "cuckaroo_cuda_29"`
`[mining.miner_plugin_config.parameters]`
`device = 0`

How do you change the cargo.toml

Cargo.toml is just a text file which you can edit and save.

Hi guys,
I’m trying to setup mining on Mac os x. I have a working and synced node, working wallet file but upon running ./grin-miner I get this error.
thread ‘main’ panicked at ‘called `Option::unwrap()` on a `None` value’, libcore/option.rs:355:21
note: Run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` for a backtrace.
Attempted all sorts of troubleshooting including Backtrace but to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

A question that probably a few of us Linux newbies have:
Are the steps in this guide valid for setting up the node/wallet on Debian 9 Stretch?

“can’t establish server connection to 127.0.0.1:3416”
in my grin-server.toml file i have this:
#what port and address for the stratum server to listen on
stratum\_server\_addr = “127.0.0.1:3416”
should work but doesn’t. i have both GUI’S up and running. i see cuckaroo\_cuda\_29 plugins for both my gpu’s with OK status but no mining. it says “Waiting for server”.
in my Grin node it says “false” for both mining server enabled and mining server running.

First of all, thanks for putting those together.
I found that many people encountered problems like setting up rust, compiling. Since the project release binary each time, maybe you want to change it to use binary directly. All you need to do is download the correct binary from github, uncompress and run it. The building from source code won’t make any difference but bring a lot difficulties. For those knows about building from source code, they will not need such a step.
Just my $0.02
Cheers

1.30 is an old version. If you had followed the instructions (see step A.1) you would have
$ rustc --version
rustc 1.31.1 (b6c32da9b 2018-12-18)

Make sure that you copy the grin-miner.toml from the grin-miner directory to grin-miner/target/release
