How to Report a Bug

Bug reports are a good way to help improving optiminer. However, to be useful you need to follow a few steps:

1. Make sure that your problem is reproducable.

Does it still happen after a reboot? Is it related to some local problem, e.g., is your internet connection working? If you observe that some GPU randomly freeze or stop mining this is almost always related to a hardware problem. Try changing the risers, switching the order of the GPU, search the forum for tips. This is not worth reporting a bug unless it happens reproducable with multiple GPUs in multiple rigs. Most instabilities are caused by GPU overheating or being overclocked too much! Using too high intensities can cause crashes and may require a reboot to get the GPU into a clean state.

2. Collect as much information as possible.

Add at least following information to the bug report:

  • Which OS are you using? Exact version.
  • Which version of the miner are you using (shown by optiminer-equihash --version).
  • Which graphic driver are you using?
  • What GPUs are you using. Post the output of optiminer-equihash --list-devices.
  • How often is this problem happening? Everytime? Sporadically? Related to some other events?
  • What is the expected behavior and what is the actual behavior.
  • Try different settings:
    • Does changing the intensity make any difference (-i).
    • If you have multiple GPUs just run on one (-d). Also try to remove GPUs from the system.
    • Try a different mining pool.
  • Enable logging (--log-file) and attach log file when reporting the bug.

3. Open an issue.
