Title: Mining etherium and dcr ir Dual
Post by: cameleon777 on September 19, 2017, 12:23:31 AM
Hello guys, i am new to mining as you can see, just made my miner for the first time. I started mining in dual with eth+dcr. I use Ethermine.org and dcr.suprnova.cc pools for this.  So for the eth i am getting 20mh/s and 200mh/s for dcr with claymore, but when i use nicehash it gives me 600mh/s for dcr. Can anyone tell me what am i doing wrong with claymore? or is nicehash simply more efficient at mining decred? I have ASUS GTX 1060 mining 6gb if that helps. :o



Thank you i advance and sorry if i am posting in a wrong section

Dual mining is maximizing the work load of the GPU by mining two coins at the same time, but it's not as efficient as mining the coin by itself. You are getting more hash because the Nicehash miner isn't a dual miner. With the Claymore miner, you can adust the workload intensity of the secondary coin up or down using the -dcri parameter in the command line options or using th '+' or '-' keys. The higher the -dcri intensity, the more hash the secondary coin will have. The goal is to find a number that maximizes the hash of the second coin, without affecting the ETH hash, but the secondary coin hash will never be as fast as mining the coin by itself.

how exactly do i access command line options?

If you start your miner using start.bat, then add -dcri 21 at the end of the file.

If you start your miner using start.bat, then add -dcri 21 at the end of the file.

OR you can adjust it on the fly by hitting the + / - keys.

Easier that way that having to close the miner each time and then edit the start.bat file.

Once you got it tweaked then can edit the start file once and forget about it.
OP: try -dcri 1 and check your hashrate ~23 is good on eth.
