Title: Mining Configuration Error?
Post by: vahpour on January 08, 2019, 04:45:10 PM
So I downloaded the most recent rig of Claymore's Dual Etherum Miner and configured the start file as the following:

///////////////////////////////////
///////////////////////////////////

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal 0xd3a9b641986cd95b3ccd71e246e2e1ada5349c3b.rig1/vahpourvisuals@gmail.com -epsw x -mode 1 -ftime 10

///////////////////////////////////
///////////////////////////////////

I proceeded to run the batch file and see my Command Prompt run with the following text:

///////////////////////////////////
///////////////////////////////////

C:\Users\Elijah\Desktop\Claymore's Dual Ethereum+Decred_Siacoin_Lbry_Pascal_Blake2s_Keccak AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v12.0>EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal 0xd3a9b641986cd95b3ccd71e246e2e1ada5349c3b.rig1/vahpourvisuals@gmail.com -epsw x -mode 1 -ftime 10

╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║                Claymore's Dual GPU Miner - v12.0               ║
║              ETH + DCR/SIA/LBC/PASC/BLAKE2S/KECCAK             ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

ETH: 7 pools are specified
Main Ethereum pool is eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999

///////////////////////////////////
///////////////////////////////////
After this text above has loaded my Command Prompt remains on my screen for a couple of seconds and then closes, does anyone know how to fix this? any help is appreciated.

Thank You,
Elijah

This subforum is only for bitcoin mining support, so this topic should be moved to the altcoins section.

wrong board, but i can't not answer a mining related question  ;D

do the following

1-  configure the bat file to this code

Code:
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal 0xd3a9b641986cd95b3ccd71e246e2e1ada5349c3b.rig1/vahpourvisuals@gmail.com -epsw x -mode 1


2- ensure the EthDcrMiner64.exe and the start.bat are on the same folder if not then it's not going to work.

let me now how it goes, if you face any further issues , post away, if i take too long to reply (24hrs or more ) feel free to send a pm.

Good luck.

Do other miners work? Maybe you have to reinstall drivers? Also, check the size of virtual memory. It must be at least the sum of all GPU memory.

Look into the log file from Claymore Miner and post the last lines here.

And please give us more information. Cards, Driver version, which OS and so on. We have no glass sphere.

1. your command line is the same like the one from vahpour, you only delete the -ftime command, so why should this one work better?
2. Claymore starts, he postet the first lines, so your second point is clear  ::)

Hello and congratulations on becoming a miner!!

First thing, if you are using windows, is to open the command prompt first, and then run the bat manually, so it returns to the terminal and stays open so you can see the output. You might catch an error  here.

Second, running on Windows can be tricky. You have to make sure you have drivers installed correctly, libraries and dependencies installed. Check Claymore's btctalk for that.

Third, we did create a user-friendly ready-to-go solution called PiMP OS back in 2012. This not only includes claymore, custom kernel and drivers made for mining, optimized config files, troubleshooting and diagnostics tools, and the miner.farm monitoring tool all built in, but also, works out of the box, hashes faster than most windows rigs, and boasts uptimes in the hundreds of days. Give us a try! getpimp.org has a video and more information. Let our experience and workmanship work for you. Thank you very much!

That being said, you might want to look at some other coins to mine as well as ETH, that may be more profitable. In the next few days, Ethereum is going to be changing their difficulty and block rewards.

I hope this information helps you.
