All the links give an error about potential virus. Is there somewhere else we can download this miner?
Some browsers like chrome detect the mining software and block the download. Others like IE usually don't. Try different browsers and if they all block, perhaps there is an option to check the links for viruses which can be turned off temporarily.

Its crazy to believe that so many people are still using the Tahiti's according to this thread.

Basically if you got a Tahiti you are better off mining XMR at the moment.

Reason why is because those you can reduce the voltage to the min value of 0.950V and if you got a decent ASIC quality you can run them at 1000/1500 core and you will get like 600H/s and it will only use like 130 Watts of power.

With ZEC it always used almost 200 Watts or so. With ETH it used even more electricity. The worst was Scrypt which was like 350 Watts per GPU from the wall.
You are absolutely right! CryptonightV7 is way better for 280x's now and it allows better undervolting than with the other coins. There are 2 things however.
First, cards that can run on 1000 core with 0.950mv are of excellent ASIC quality and very rare - may be 1% of all. For example, my XFX's can't be even recognized by the OS  if I undervolt below 1144 mv with 1000 core (well they do, but with several restarts and auto switch to 850 core). My Sapphire's are better, but still require 1050 mv to run with 1000 core. In both cases I got 170-180W from the wall. With 1000 core I get 460 h/s and with 1100 - 540 h/s. So the current profit of all coins now for me is 0. I also mine and stack the coins for future sale.
Second, Monero has 2,2 billion market cap and hardly will make 10 or 20 billion in forseeable future. Of course, who knows, if Bitcoin goes back to 20K this can happen someday. But the new coins have potential of making 10-100 and even 1000 times increase (fresh example zclassic, which made 1000 times in several months). So it is good to have more options. I try to mine as much coins as possible.

EDIT: Surprise, surprise. I just tested with the wattmeter. The XFX cards with 1144 mv are mining XMR with 140W, not 180W as I was expecting provided that 950mv mined with 130W. Equihash is around 200W.
I have a rig with mixed older r9 270/280 cards whats the best way to under volt these
It depends on the coin. Those that are GPU core intensive like the equihash coins will work with less undervolting like 1100 or even 1144 mv (down from 1200-ish by default). Clearly Cryptonight is less GPU intensive, so you may go down to 950mv if the card is with good ASIC quality. I follow this guide:
http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/742409-Easy-undervolting-guide-for-79xx-and-R9-280X-cards
Just a warning: When flashing connect only one card to the 16x slot and plug the monitor to the mainboard. If all cards are connected there may be a mistmach in the order of Aitflash and what you see in gpu-z. A friend of mine damaged permanently his cards because of this.

"It would appear Coinbase’s custody service is already attracting a lot of positive attention. More specifically, the new custodial service piqued the interest of at least 10 hedge funds and family offices. This further confirms the growing demand for exposure to cryptocurrencies in general, which could lead to more positive developments for this industry. ...."

An update to Microsoft Security Essentials is marking Claymore's miner 12.5 as a virus and shutting it down automatically.  what should I do?
Add it to exceptions in the program (and restore it from quarantine). It is not a virus, it just recognizes it as a mining program.

Hmm, the whole day my 580 had accepted shares and stats on the pool MPH were correct. For the last hours (4-5) however, the pool shows 0 sols and the miner is turned off in the workers page. Really strange, since I see only accepted shares.

AMD miner coming (not Claymore, I don't know if it is too hard job for him, or he is too rich to work anymore):
https://forum.bitcoingold.org/t/amd-miners-we-didnt-forget-you/1698

the 144_5 miner is out it works fine on my 7950's but the hashrate is ass compared to the nvidia counterpart,we do need claymore he's the messiah of AMD mining his AMD optimization is ridiculous without him we're toast period
I agree about Claymore. Sadly, he is silent. Btw, I can't get my 280x to mine in Windows. For some reason I get only invalid solutions.
1528  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: lolMiner-144 0.38 Preview, Equihash 144.5 for AMD & Nvidia, Linux & Windows on: July 04, 2018, 03:22:56 PM
tahiti (280x&7970) works perfectly with 10-12sol per card.
390 require a lot of virtual memory - 38Gb on 6 card.
why there is no overclocking effect?
Don't you have invalid solutions? Does the pool stats correspond to your hashrate? And last, why only 10 sols? My tahiti is at least 18 sols, but with invalid solutions. Not a single accepted share. My cards are not overclocked, but undervolted with bios mod. It seems that most of the people have the same isuue.
1529  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: lolMiner-144 0.38 Preview, Equihash 144.5 for AMD & Nvidia, Linux & Windows on: July 04, 2018, 06:16:25 AM
For my 280x's it works on adrenaline 18.x.x (windows 7), 17.12 (windows 10) and older crimson 15.12 (windows 8.1). Only for some reason (RAM issue, may be?) I have to restart the miner manually 2-3 times to begin mining. Speed is around 20 sols.
This morning I tested again. My RX 580 is working at 12 sols with accepted shares (adrenaline 18.x.x (windows 7)). All my 280x  give invalid solutions (17.12 (windows 10) and older crimson 15.12 (windows 8.1)). Those with 6GB even work at 70-ish sols which can't be true. 3GB work at 15-20 but never have accepted shares.

Edit: I found the option DEVICES. Again the miner gave 0 sols and restarted automatically endlessly, until I closed it, opened it again and began mining with 18-20 sols per card. This is for the rigs with regular 3GB Tahiti 280x Grin

That would be half of a GTX 1080 hashrate (according to what I read above) which is quite amazing for such old cards.

Expected to be honest, as even on "old" equihash 200,9 they were giving 285-320 sols per card ... but using => 200W of power Smiley
By default 220-230W, but with a bios undervolt they consume 180W (incl. risers) according to the watmeter. Still too much, of course, compared to the 570 and 580 esp.with bios mods.

SEC Proposes New Approval Process for Certain Exchange-Traded Funds

https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2018-118

What do these new rules imply? I couldn't make much sense of that terse communication.

It means you don’t need SEC approval to launch an ETF so long as your ETF meets certain conditions.

It’s not clear to me from the statement whether an Bitcoin ETF could meet the conditions.  I don’t need to explain the consequences.
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/sec-seeks-comments-another-bitcoin-etf/

There is a lot going on in that direction recently. Only insiders know if (or rather when) the first Bitcoin ETF will be approved. Usually the sign is a spike in the price  Wink And then deja vu - 20K and beyond.

Rather disappointed with the early version of AMD miner.  Cry

Will give him a few days to work out the kinks.

Tested on 7970, 280x, and 290x and yes I got the bin file released for Tahiti cores.... those were on W7 64

Only the 290x actually connected to the pool and received work,,, then just sat there as the CPU tacked up to 100%, miner restarts and repeats itself.

I have yet to test on 380x, RX 480's and 390x's....

Try to close it and restart it manually. Usually 2nd restart begins the mining. If it doesn't work after 4-5 restarts, it may be related to the RAM. You can try 1-4 cards and wait a bit for the RAM to be cleared and then start a new instance of the miner for the remaining cards.

OK, I renamed the tahiti.bin and it started mining after some errors. I restarted the miner 3 times and it works now. The stats are a bit odd 71/6/13/14 total 104 sols. I got 4 XFX 6GB 280x. They are a special edition and rarely found. My system is windows 10 with adrenaline 17.12.1. I will test with standard 3GB Tahiti, but I don't know the option for chosing which card to mine (like -di in claymore).

Edit: I found the option DEVICES. Again the miner gave 0 sols and restarted automatically endlessly, until I closed it, opened it again and began mining with 18-20 sols per card. This is for the rigs with regular 3GB Tahiti 280x Grin

Good job there! it works on my fiji cards. But you say only 4GB cards, so AMD 3GB cards are out of the game? I thought 144,5 had been carefully chosen precisely to raise the memory usage significantly but still allow 3GB cards to mine.

edit: rephrase

I was not aware of AMD 3G GPUs ... well ... they could work, just not tested it ^^
I just got news that AMD GCN 1 Tahiti cards generally work, just put this file https://drive.google.com/open?id=1pN-zUv3pvJvrsETFbQ-8j_3gxercIObV into same directory as the other ones Smiley

It works with this kernel on 7970 and 280x. Good job again!


Edit: quoting

Mine are not working on Windows.

I have 6GB Tahiti XFX 280x, but they are not recognized. The miner keeps restarting with an error. (I put tahiti.bin in the folder "kernels").

Hi ivomm,

Very wonderful and very high style logo has choosen, I love it very much.

Time is the key, I agree with you 100%.

 Smiley
Thanks! Not that I am obsessed with buying a lambo but the idea of the bull is what I like the most. And yes, patience leads to profit and good things in general. Regarding Claymore, I also revisit this thread with the hope he will surprise us with a new version that can handle the 144-5 fork. His miner is the best, while I read about other  poorly written miners that can damage the hardware. Distant monitoring of the temps is also very needed for my old 280x's which are hot as hell in the summer  Grin

What I don't get is why ethereum had $130-ish billion market cap in January and now Bitcoin has $100 billion cap.  How can one explain the claims that the current price of Bitcoin is too high and not sustainable, given that only 1% of the average Joe that heard about Bitcoin knows about ethereum (at least from my personal observations)? And if Bitcoin didn't go south, ethereum would have easily sustained that market cap. I have only one word: manipulation!
