Trying to mine XMR. New to mining.

Downloaded XMRig and it immediately got flagged as malware. What gives?

>> No.4727093

>>4727039
more or less all mining software gets flagged as malware don't pay mind to it

>> No.4727113

Add the application/software's executeable to your antivirus operator's exclusion portfolio so it doesn't heed any mind to the executeable file.

yeah did a little reading and it looks like they all get flagged simply because they're mining software. Guess it assumes someone else planted it on your computer and not yourself

Install linux and use XMR-STAK release from github. Ubuntu server or anything RHEL is great for this as no GUI nets you a small gain.
Config it to your liking and fire away.

You can compile it for yourself to cut out the 2.0% donation to the devs if you want to minmax.

I guess this can be the crypto hardware general thread.

I've a few questions for anyone who's interested:

1. Has anyone managed to get 19 non-mining GPUs working on Asus B250 Mining Expert yet? I just got this board and am disappointed that it only takes 13.
2. Has anyone managed to get RX Vega mining on Linux? Mine is rotting in its box after several weekends of failing to get it to work.
3. From a security perspective, would it be a good idea to run all my blockchain related stuff (ie, nodes and wallets) in a VM?

Oh and

4. Blower style GPUs vs 'custom fan' style GPUs, which do you prefer for mining? Closed air or open air rig?

Does it not physically interface with more than an alloted amount of PCIe 1x switches/ splitters?

>2. Has anyone managed to get RX Vega mining on Linux? Mine is rotting in its box after several weekends of failing to get it to work.
What's yer issue?

VMs like QEMU-KVM are good to split up and sandbox functionality of your OS' but it will consume some extra space.

It also makes them portable if you switch systems, just carry your VMs with you. Very nice but a little more cumbersome.

Jesus and I thought mine was ghetto.

Is that a Vega though? Or some ancient 290 type shit?

>> No.4728277

>>4728195

1. Possibly. I've seen youtube videos where people got 19 GPUs working, but six of them have to be the Nvidia P106 mining GPUs. Apparently it's something to do with insufficient I/O space. I'm hoping for a BIOS update to fix this shit, it's pretty misleading advertising otherwise =/

2. It won't OpenCL. Not with 17.40 drivers, not with ROCM drivers, not with open-source drivers. It just isn't detected, ever! Works fine on my Windows PC so it's not the card.

3. I suppose that if I'm using my porn computer to host the VMs then there won't really be any security benefits. I'm basically trying to make a not-quite-cold storage.

>Apparently it's something to do with insufficient I/O space.
Holy fuck you've actually managed to exceed the ACPI mapping tables with GPUs... I can only do this on my laptops as a expresscard slot wasn't meant to feed 4GBs of VRAM to a hotplug GPU.
Not much you can do here. Just wait for unfucked firmware from your manufacturer or find a new board.
Look into supermicro shit. They usually make I/O intensive nearline production stuff that will be able to handle this kind of task.

>It just isn't detected, ever!
Did "lspci -nnk" give you any indication that it's alive?
What distro and post some error chunks so I can see what's broke.

Why not make a porn VM?
You can pipe it directly over a VPN and access everything from there.

lspci -k does show the Vega, with amdgpu kernel drivers. I tried arch with mainline linux, amd-staging linux, super-bleeding-edge-amd-staging linux, and also Fedora as kernels. ROCM, pro-17.40, and open as drivers. Nothing worked.

I use nicehash to CPU mine with my mediocre laptop. Wanna get a new one soon anyway.

Get about $0.30-0.40 per day.

Pretty nice. Vega's a beast when it works.
This is the crypto dream. Many small miners with a few GPUs each, keeping things truly decentralised.
