question about the miner process #124
Comments
have you turned on stealth mode? |
Yes that's the injector so it will close down when done, the miner should be called explorer.exe or whatever you chose in the builder. You can download Process Hacker and search for |
thanks for the answer. it seems Services32.exe (which I selected in settings) is being renamed to sihost32.exe. I set GPU to 50% max and 80% idle. how can i check that it actually works? msi afterburner showed no change in GPU MHz |
No, sihost32 is the Watchdog. You can check if the miner is running by searching for |
I disabled Stealth in the settings, the miner is running, but there is nothing in the processes by --cinit (https://i.imgur.com/xlymPIM.png). svchost.exe appears for 1 second and disappears with red color. I caught the moment when it disappears. why is this happening? |
What GPU do you have? It usually does that when it can't find any CUDA or OpenCL drivers. |
Radeon R9 380, but I have tested on other GPUs (1650 super - 2070 ti). the process was disappearing too |
Can you post your "Main" tab settings here? That's usually either because of drivers, not enough VRAM (though it shouldn't really close then) or if the settings are wrong (can't connect). |
main settings of what? |
In the builder, the "Main" tab where you put the pool and wallet settings. If those settings are wrong it can't connect. |

Yeah those settings are correct, you can send the miner here and I'll test it. |
sure. I turned off online downloading and stealth mode https://www.mediafire.com/file/dhnx6vedxg9gha1/main.rar/file |
Yeah it works correctly. When spreading it I do recommend enabling "Online Downloader", "Bypass Windows Defender" and obfuscating it (https://github.com/UnamSanctam/SilentETHMiner/wiki#how-can-i-decrease-detections) (especially with https://github.com/UnamSanctam/SilentETHMiner/wiki#pause-for-obfuscation enabled). You can also add some games to the "Stealth Targets" option if you want the miner to pause while they are running: #122 |
thanks for help |
No problem, good luck mining. |
sorry, one more question please. if I set the max GPU to 80-100%, and the user plays a heavy game - will he start lagging or the miner will reduce the load on his own? (using google translator) |
The GPU usage will go down automatically but the VRAM usage won't go down (it can't go down anything since then you cannot mine at all). If you want them to be able to play games you can enable "Stealth" and add some games into the "Stealth Targets" so that the miner pauses everything while the game is started. Here is an example string you can enter into "Stealth Targets":
There of course exist more games than that but those are some of the ones we collected quickly. |
great, added, but what happens if I run a new one over the old miner (with different settings)? |
If the "Install" tab settings are the same then it will just replace the old one. You can also use 'Remote Configuration' https://github.com/UnamSanctam/SilentETHMiner/wiki#remote-configuration to change settings while the miners are running. |
I also noticed the frequent "loading" of the cursor (https://i.imgur.com/sbXPv1c.png). many are frightened by this and they start scanning computer for viruses. will you remove it in the update? |
I don't get any loading cursors, when does that happen? Also, changing cursors are done by Windows and not the miner. And even then scanning the computer won't really do anything since if that did something then the miner wouldn't have been able to start in the first place. |
idk.. every time I run the miner on my pc or give it to others (I sent it to you today too) - the cursor is "loading" with a frequency of 2-3 times per minute (for example: 5 sec "loading", 20 sec nothing - repeat). as if something is happening in the system
|
Do you have a GPU that can mine? I guess that could happen if you don't have a GPU causing the miner to get restarted by the watchdog. |
on my second pc 1060 6gb |
and I have sent miner to others with expensive graphics cards. |
Hmm I can't really think of a reason why you get a loading cursor. Do you get one if you lower the GPU %? |
I'll check it tomorrow. try asking other users, maybe they also have this problem. thank you anyway |
hi. why does the Services32.exe process disappear from the task manager a few seconds after starting the miner? tried on different computers. is this the norm? miner works without this process?
