Start epicboost

Mining
1

Hello
I am absolutely new both in mining and in linux and I would kindly need some help.
Use sapphire rx570 16gb ryzer5 1500x 4gb RAM mobo asus prime b350plus.
I installed ROCm, downloaded ePIC-boost-miner and modified the .toml file as follows, using grinmint as a pool:
run_tui = false
stratum_server_addr = “us-east-stratum.grinmint.com:4416”
stratum_server_login = “xxxxx”
stratum_server_password = “mypassword”
stratum_server_tls_enabled = true

CUCKAROO (i.e. GPU-Friendly)
#[[mining.miner_plugin_config]]
#plugin_name = “cuckaroo_mean_opencl_rocm_29”
#[mining.miner_plugin_config.parameters]
#device = 0
CUCKATOO (i.e. ASIC-Friendly)
[[mining.miner_plugin_config]]
plugin_name = “cuckatoo_mean_opencl_rocm_31”
[mining.miner_plugin_config.parameters]
device = 0

now if I start epicboost (./ePIC-Boost-Miner) it gives me 0gps result with c31 and I do not see c29. From the grinmint dashboard inserting my email I do not see anything …
What am I missing to proceed?

Here https://github.com/mimblewimble/docs/wiki/Getting-Started-With-Grin%3A-Links-and-Resources
If i find the guide to create a grin node and the wallet but it is based on the latest Grin release version 1.0.2 and I do not know how to use it all with epicboost.
can someone help me easily?
Sorry for my English and in advance thank you
Dario

Is the program up and running in your console window? Does it show activity on the system?

The setting you have setup right now is going to do C31 and not mine C29, that is the best way to use the Sapphire 570 16GB card.

using the 570 16GB I can not mine at the same time c31 and c29?

Thank you

Just as a followup, wanted to see if you got your issues resolved?

@Dario,
Your English is very good, and you have made yourself understood - so no more apologies for your English, keep up the great witing!

I have a very minor suggestion: I recommend that you do not share the full email adress you use to connect to grinmint.com. The random number is meant to make it difficult for unauthorized users from accessing your mining results on grinmint simply by knowing or guessing your email address.

Good luck with mining.

14

actually no, I solved by deleting ROCm and using the AMDGPU pro drivers. do not understand if the problem is that for now I have only 4GB of RAM or that I do not have another video card on the system even integrated and alone the sapphire 16gb using rocm and c31 does not make it

15

ok.thanks for the advice, now I delete the email address.
Thank you very much. Good work and good continuation

The only having 4GB in the system could be the issue, the system requirements calls for 8GB min. Also could be the motherboard, I have encounter that issue a few times with ROCm. Glad to hear you got it resolved.

Thank I’ll try install more RAM.
Thanks
