I've been logging on daily to see if there has been some update to this. Radeon VII cards are becoming scarce and I just started a 4800w 12 GPU mining rig that needs some cards! But what to use?

Hmm.
Okay. So which would be appropriate for 8gb Hynix and 8gb Micron? (RX 570)

Thanks for the tip!

I had tried 850 and it would run for about an hour and then crash. Not sure what's going on. Is that for the memory, core or both?
But I have four of each card (Hynix and Micron) so perhaps I can try strap 4 and 5 instead of 1 and 3 with 850 again.

EDIT:
You know what... I bet that it's because I have my powerlimit at -20%. I'll try removing that and set my voltage to 825 and see if that makes much difference.

And what about the Micron? Also is this for the 4gb or 8gb?

I've been doing this for my 8gb Micron and get ~27.5 @ 88w:
Core 1000
Memory 2000
mvddc 900
cvddc 900

My Hynix gets ~27.4 @ 84w

If I'm not mistaken...
Micron you set to strap 3
Hynix you set to strap 1
... for an extra ~5% more.

(Sigh)
I don't think you're fully grasping anything that I (apparently wasted my time) have been trying to explain to you.

Look I'm very sorry for your ~$6,900 USD loss. I don't see ETH hitting $1,000 anytime soon though. FYI. I'd say in maybe 5+ years or so but anyway... you're wasting your time chasing something that didn't happen and defaming someone in the process.

Tell you what. Give us all your unprotected IP address and I'll show you how easy it is to steal your crypto. It probably won't happen immediately but it will happen! And it won't be from downloading a .bat file. The ONLY reason why any anti-viruses go off is because it's a MINER. I can't think of any that don't set off anti-virus software. I've come across WEBSITES that try to mine crypto.
Also, here's what didn't make sense to me. You have your wallet (JAXX) on your computer that you mine on? That doesn't make any sense. If you didn't, then why would you execute the software on a computer that you're not mining on? It's not adding up. Or are you suggesting that by simply downloading it (not executing) he was somehow able to hack your machine? Not saying it's impossible but highly unlikely. Or perhaps you installed it on your mining computers and he hacked a different computer on  your network??? How would he do that when the virus isn't on that computer??? See what I mean? Too many issues with your accusations. There is no solid proof anywhere. You haven't provided a wallet address to where your funds went, no ip address, no method of attack. You said that JAXX just mysteriously opened up and sent your funds away before your eyes. I'm telling you the only way to do that is by RDP or something similar such as Teamviewer or Chrome Remote Desktop. But if you're so concerned about it happening again then uninstall all of your wallets and restore them as needed. Can't hack what isn't there, right?

Any case, I'm actually glad that it happened to you. Not to sound like a jerk but I think that's it's better to happen when you have 1 BTC stored in your wallet than 10 BTC. My guess is someone hacked your crap a while ago and already had access. They were just waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Maybe they thought, "He just downloaded something that runs a mining script. I bet he'll blame that instead of trying to track the real source! I'll do this now!" So while you're wasting time and energy defaming a hard working developer for something he didn't do the thief is transferring your funds and spending your money so even IF you could identify him/her you couldn't get it back.

But hey... what do I know? I'm only speaking from experience.

I seriously believe it's a coincidence.
He has one of the most popular mining software on the market and about 15 minutes of every day that you run his software it mines for HIM. That's the developer fee. Now multiply that for every mining machine running his software. I think he's set dude. I don't think he needs to bother hacking into your computer to steal your crypto. No offense, but what makes YOU so special that would attract HIM to steal from you? Nobody else on here is accusing him of stealing from him, right? If we all had that in common this place would be blowing up with complaints.
Something to add:
Occam's razer. Your vulnerability is likely the weakest point in your security.
Example: Do you use a VPN when logging onto message boards like this one? If not, this someone might have admin/mod access (that isn't necessarily an admin/mod) and has your ip address. Now that person knows you're into crypto so you probably have some crypto accounts or wallets stored on your computer.

Example #2: And it doesn't even have to be forums that someone gets your ip address. It could also be seeding torrents. If you download/seed torrents those are other vulnerabilities. An unknown people have your ip address and although the odds of one of those people wanting to do something malicious is slim the odds are great that SOMEBODY at SOME POINT will.


So how to hack someone with an IP address? Well... nmap the ip address and look for ports open. My weakest point was RDP as it turned out. Check out how to hack RDP and you'll find tons of stuff! It's actually kinda scary how easy it can be! That's why I took quick action to lock my shit down.

With your IP address I can get your approximate location, maybe even your name/email, recent torrents that you've downloaded/seeded, open ports which will tell me what you do online (play games, IIS/FTP, remote access, etc).

There are also issues with some browser extensions:

Example: Here we have a very harmless (we thought) browser extension. It's nothing more than a downloader. Want to download something on Mega? It's a very useful download manager. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/mega-chrome-extension-hacked-to-steal-login-credentials-and-cryptocurrency/
That's why I uninstalled ALL of the browsers on my mining machines and computers. I don't take any chances anymore. The one computer that I'm using now doesn't even have any access to crypto.
I set up a different e-mail address (normalemail.crypto@gmail.com) and while I was at it I set one up for my online purchases (normalemail.orders@gmail.com) which is only done on my laptop and cellphone (damn Amazon addiction.)

I'm not trying to dare a hacker but there's no way that even if they DID manage to hack the computer that I'm using that they would be able to do anything except mess up my social media and delete some files. If they did acquire my passwords through keylogger then they would only have access to non-crypto related crap. They could probably get into my banks/credit cards, etc but that stuff can be disputed and even cancelled. No permanent harm. But as you've discovered that once they're into your wallet... it's gone.

Another piece of advice, stop using your wallet! They might have your private keys. By continuing to use your old wallet you could pretty much be paying them without knowing it and they're just waiting for the perfect time to clean you out again.

So unless you have some solid proof please stop accusing a hardworking developer. Accusations on here without evidence is defamation and libel. It literally make HIM a victim. If you have (or think you have) sufficient evidence then go to law enforcement. Good luck with that.

BTW, with mining profitability starting to regain popularity I'd definitely be on your guard. We're all potential victims.

I'm sure there are a lot of people that can share stories. I'll consider it.
I forgot to mention another thing that I do as well... should be a no-brainer though... change your IP address assigned by your ISP. Do this by changing the mac address on the router. Reboot if necessary. So if someone is trying to do a MITM (man in the middle attack) or trying to crack your computers by brute-force then make it tougher for them by changing your IP address every once in a while.

I've been hacked... twice.
Both times they used RDP to access. The first time they just used my Google password and cleaned out some of my trading platform wallets (Nicehash, Gemini, Binance, etc) because I had my passwords saved on Chrome. Really stupid! I only lost a couple hundred bucks though. But I should have taken better action than changing my passwords because that's all I did. The second time it was because Chrome Remote Desktop! (That was another dumb idea. Almost as dumb as having everything stored to my Exodus wallet.)
What I think happened the first time was someone cracked my Google account (again). With that they were able to access my machines... to include the one with my Exodus wallet. They logged on, installed a keylogger and logged off. They logged on again later once they acquired my password for Exodus and cleaned me out. They I had over 30LTC stored in it.
It had nothing to do with Claymore though because I didn't have it installed on my machine with Exodus.

So now....

I use Awesome Miner to manager my rigs on a separate machines (I don't have any internet browsers on it or anything else) and my rigs don't have anything saved to it. I mine with MiningPoolHub and everything is paid out to my Ledger hardware wallet. All trading platforms I access with only one machine (which I turn on and off only as needed) and my cellphone. My mining rigs and the machine with Awesome Miner are all connected to a VPN router. I won't say that it's impossible to hack but it's definitely a lot more secure than before. I have changed the RDP access ports (no longer 3389) I also have Pulseway installed on my primary machine (that I'm on now) and whenever an RDP connection is logged in Windows event logger (Event ID's 1149) it sends an alert to my phone. Of course I updated the firewall settings on both of my routers (primary router and my VPN router) so that a remote connection can only be made by ONE machine (white listed for the one with Awesome Miner running.)

Still... I don't tempt fate. I shut down everything that I don't need and I run anti-virus (ESET) and MalwareBytes daily.

Conclusion:
Use this as a learning experience. I heard stories of being hacked and losing everything but I never really learned anything from anyone because "It'll never happen to me. I'm a nobody."
Some optimism though: At least you were hacked today instead of next month when you have even more to lose. I wouldn't even bother trying to pursue the hacker/thief because even if you could identify him/her there's nothing your local law enforcement will do. Assuming you could prove it, it would be a tough case to fight in court.

Advice:
If you NEED to use a wallet (such as Exodus) then store it only on a virtual machine and then shut it down when you don't need it. And obviously never store your passwords on Chrome or any other browser. (I can't believe I did that.)

Which 1070's are you using?
I have 8 Founders Edition cards mining ETH.
Settings are:
Core +60
Memory +675
Power Limit 75
Temperature Limit 80
Fan speed 85%
Core Voltage Limit 800mv



I bring in ~31MH/s at 100W each and it's pretty solid with Claymore.
Perimeters: -strap 4  -sintensity 40

I'm always tinkering with it though but these settings work pretty well for me.

Their reputation is completely destroyed by cancelling their contracts. There are a few people on Twitter that have less than 5 posts and are saying only positive things about it making me think that Genesis is trying to fabricate positive comments so that it doesn't seem entirely negative. As I explained to them many times before if they want more business they should want to attract their loyal customers back. Those that have spent tens even hundreds of thousands on their contracts. You know... the ones they screwed over? But instead their relying on attracting new (naive) customers while their loyal ones continue to tear down their reputation. Makes no sense to me why their doing this. What they should do is do right by the ones that feel scammed by giving them something. Reactivate their existing contracts and put a 2 year term agreement on it. If they start seeing profit then they'll buy more. That's all they need to do. It'll save their reputation and even keep them from getting sued.

This seems to be a rather old thread but I want to participate.

I purchased 7 contracts. All of them said that they were the "Lifetime Bitcoin - Gold" that were ended




and when you purchase the hashpower with the slider it even says "Mine Forever"




They even went as far as e-mailing me asking me to review my purchase of Lifetime Bitcoin Contract - Gold

Here's the agreement:

Now here's the funny part.
I explained on Twitter that they lured and attracted customers by saying that it's a "Lifetime" contract but in the agreement the terms say "open-ended" (not lifetime) which I believe to be a classic bait and switch scam. Then they ask me how old the image that I shared was claiming that I couldn't have purchased it because the details that I posted on Twitter so there was no "bait and switch." They stated that they went away from the term "Lifetime" in the later half of 2017 because it caused confusion. They somehow figure that I'm not entitled to the argument because I didn't purchase any that state "Lifetime." Obviously they're grossly mistaken.



So I'm not sure why nobody has considered taking them to court but if we can start a class action I believe that it would either give everyone what they want or force them to shut down completely. Either way, it's a win-win for most of those that have invested in the last few years.
Thoughts?

It was enabled. Thanks for your prompt response as always.

Since v6.3.8 my miners view keeps defaulting to "compact list" and I have to reset it to "list"
Is there a way for me to to save my preference?

So this isn't at all related to AwesomeMiner but wanted to share it if nobody has read it yet:
https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2019/06/11/nicehash-fbi-mariposa-cryptocurrency-dark-web-malware-mining/

It's basically regarding Nicehash founder Matjaz Skorjanc and his connection with Darkode which is known for selling malware, botnets and hacking services.
I'm not sure about you but I definitely don't want to run software on my machines that have any kind of connection with that. With AwesomeMiner you can still mine with Nicehash but without the risk of having your machines/computers compromised.
Nicehash has quickly released a statement defending the allegations by saying that it's not related to them.

Still I wouldn't feel safe with having their software on my network.
@Patrike this is a great marketing opportunity for you sir! I'm attempting to sign up for the affiliate program but it says my application is under review.
I've been a solid supporter of your program for several months now. Your prompt responses to inquiries, troubleshooting and open-mindedness for ideas/suggestions is excellent and I actually enjoy promoting your work on social media platforms. Thanks again for your dedication and all of your hard work.

I'm glad that you're open to it. I do know that it would be a lot of work but it would definitely find a practical use in your already feature packed program. I actually had the idea from oberclocking my i7 CPU with my Asus motherboard. With a simple click it automatically set me at +19% clock speeds. It basically ran through stress tests while slowly oberclocking until it crashed. Upon reboot it simply restored the last good clock setting. So I was basically hoping the same might be possible for GPU cards based on an algorithm as a stress test.

Thanks for the frequent updates. I'm sure that it is a lot of work and I hope that you're open to ideas for improvement.

I had idea that I had is very unlikely that you will (or even can) implement but I don't see why it would be impossible.

Is there any way that you can configure a tool that will "auto-tune" OC settings based on efficiency or hashpower or balanced between the two?
I've spent the last two days trying to fine tune my OC settings for my RX 570 cards running the latest Claymore and rxboost enabled. I found that I pretty much have to start over because the OC settings that worked for PhoenixMiner doesn't work well with Claymore. It would run for about half an hour and then reboot which needless to say is frustrating. Currently I have about 30 different test profiles and as I'm halfway down the list I'm only finding four to be capable of running for more than an hour.
If only there was a way that I could select if I want my rig to run for most optimal settings based on benchmarks. Basically, if it crashes then the benchmark automatically would lower the OC setting applied by a preset integral then try again. This would continue until a stable OC setting is found then prompt the user to save it as a new profile.

I know that it's a lot to ask to an already jam packed program but it would make some users lives a tad bit easier.

Thanks.

I believe that he had mentioned that the newest NVidia drivers require administrative privileges to overclock some operations such as power and temperature.

So I'm rocking 8 GTX 1070 Founders Edition cards. (Driver 245.31)
I'm actually using Awesome Miner with Claymore 14.5.

My settings are +50 Core / +775 Memory / 75% Power Limit / 80C Temperature Limit / Fan Speeds set to auto.

I set -strap 4 -sintensity 30 and my results are ~270 which is around 34MH/s for each card. Not bad. Not quite the increase that I was expecting though.

One strange thing that I had noticed though, about 5 minutes in I start to get a NVML error and then my performance drops like a rock to about 29MH/s on some cards.

1198    NVML: cannot get fan speed, error 999 (an internal driver error occurred)

It's been running for 8 minutes and I've lost 10MH.

Still playing around with it though.

Okay that makes sense. Thanks. First time seeing it.

Thanks for the persistant updated.
But question:
What is "Progress" column?
For one machine I have:
A: 864 R: 1 HW: 15
The other:
A: 1014 R: 0 HW: 0

What do these figure mean?
