Title: Xmr-stak versus Claymore
Post by: reactorjuno on September 28, 2018, 12:13:26 PM
Hi folks,

Posting here for a friend who's too lazy to sign up to the forum and cannot write well in English. Thanks in advance for the help.

He was mining (until now) some Monero with Claymore Cryptonote. Settings:
GPU: 1x RX560, 1x RX570, 1x RX580
CPU: Intel, Pentium, CPU G4560 @ 3.50GHz
OS: HiveOS

Hashrate and energy on Claymore: 1630 H / s for 230W.

He is considering to switch to Xmr-Stak to use the CPU Mining and because he has some issue with Claymore. His GPU Hashrate has dropped to 1410 H / s for 220W. He tried to change the settings of the miner but nothing changed.

Why this difference? Is there a configuration to apply on Xmr-Stak to increase hashrate? Hashrate can change from one miner to another, depending on the optimization, but here the difference is very notable.

Thank you in advance for any constructive advice.

Wrong section bud. You want the “Mining (altcoins)” section further down the main page.

Thanks and sorry for this, it was moved afterwards.

No reply to this thread, but my friend solved the problem, if some wish I can share the exact settings, just send me a private message if you encounter the same issue.

I recommend testing xmr-stack and SRBMiner. Claymore is already outdated for cryptonight.

Today I use SRBMiner.
