ethOS 1.3.0 update

2018年3月5日

1.2.8,1.2.9が不安定だったため、アップデートする気はあまりなかったんですが、前の記事でRIG1を1.3.0にしてしまったので。1.3.0は2/28にリリースされています。

ethOS 1.3.0 changelog (released February 28th 2018)

Major Changes

Added support for certain AMDGPU RX series GPUs that displayed 511C and crashed via installing experimental kernels and drivers.

Cosmetic Changes and Cleanup

Added prompt if user attemps to run ethos-update without a working Internet connection.
Added “possible miner stall” message to ethOS status if miner has been working for a while, but hash is zero.
Added list of any crashed GPUs into the ethOS status message.
Corrected the bash prompt hashrate display to display “0” if the miner stalled or was otherwise not mining.
Removed color codes from miner output files in gethelp diagnostic files, so that logs are easier to read.
Added warnings and advice if user attempted to use an ethOS config option as a linux command.
Allowed show miner log to automatically clear if the miner changed.
Fixed cases where the NVIDA gpulist pci bus identification was not accurate.
Fixed the “lockscreen” button on the right hand side of the taskbar in the ethOS desktop.

Added Shutdown and Restart buttons to ethOS desktop, which were accidentally removed in a previous version.
Added notices to ethOS desktop and ethOS status if an invalid miner is specified.

Added motherboard and BIOS version to gethelp diagnostics link, ethOS panel, and JSON API.
Changed “#” ethOS bash prompt to “$” ethOS bash prompt (to see clear difference between root and ethos users).
Added list of common ethOS commands to the ethOS Knowledge Base.
Added pci.ids for GTX 1060 5GB and GTX 1060 Rev.2
Added ethOS license agreement to ethOS download page.

511℃表記になってクラッシュしてた特定のAMDGPUのサポートを追加、RX550、NVIDIA Titan V、GTX 1060 5GB、GTX 1060 Rev.2をサポート。ただし実験的なカーネルとドライバを別途入れる必要がありあそうです。

IRCチャンネルにサポートスタッフが追加。IRCでgethelpファイルを共有しやすくなった（のかな？）。IRC最近みてないけどどうなんだろうか。

インストールされたすべてのMinerを最新に。Nvidiaのドライバも。ethOSダウンロードページにロードバランサーが導入。

以上がメジャーアップデート内容。その他バグフィックスなどは割愛しますが、公式のKBにコマンドリストができていました。なんで今までなかったのか謎ですが、便利です。

DualMiningの見直し

今まで、ずーっとETHとSiacoinをほってきました。プールをみると、Total paid: 82747 SIAだそうですよ。しかしながらAntminerA3発売以降、芳しくありません。

1/19に1000SIA払いだされてから、現在3/6までに掘れた量はたった717SIAです。これはもうダメでしょう。1000SIA貯まるまでは…と思って今まで我慢してほっていましたがもういいです。DualMining辞めます。1.2.9以降はstub.confファイルが削除されています。辞めるタイミングとしては丁度いいです。

stubファイルは既に廃止されているので、やることはClaymoreをETH onlyモードである-mode 1オプションに変更することだけです。ついでに見やすいようにshow minerに色もつけましょう。

local.confに下記1行を追記します。
claymore=flags -colors 1 -mode 1

これでオッケーです。ETHのみであればFeeは2%ではなく、1%になるので若干お得になるはず。
