Even if you just quit the miner and immediately restart it, you’ll probably get a slightly lower hashrate.  If you quit to change anything, whether it’s clockrate, voltage, intensity, coin or algo, I think you’re better off restarting the rig before restarting the mining software.

When you shutdown your miner and change a setting, always restart the rig before starting the mining program.

I had to connect 2 GPUs on the left side of the 16x (when looking directly at the MB) for it to work when I connected between 8-12 GPUs. When all 13 GPUs were connected it worked flawlessly. I usually attach a monitor to the GPU that is on 16x.

Been using Cast-XMR pretty much from the first release. Just wanted to chime in and report that 1.1.0 is very unstable for me - the rig just freezes after a few minutes of running. Using W10+Blockchain driver on a 3xVega56+RX580 rig. Once it locks up, the cards stay warm, suggesting they may still be hashing away, but no shares appear to be sent to the pool.

Not sure how to add any further diagnostics info as Cast-XMR doesn't seem to produce any log files...

Downgraded to 1.0 and it seems to be running with no problems.

Cast XMR 1.1.5 is out http://www.gandalph3000.com/

We must rise topic. Maybe Claymore looks at amount of peoples needed miner update!

Version History

Cast XMR Version 1.0.0 (2018/4/24)
- Support for Aeon (AEON) CryptoNight Lite variant set --algo=3 to mine
- Support for Turtlecoin (TRTL) CryptoNightV7 Lite variant set --algo=4 to mine
- Support for Interplanetary Broadcast Coin (IPBC) CryptoNight Lite IPBC variation set --algo=5 to mine
- Up to 3% performance improvement with new option --maxmem to allocate the maximum memory of the card. For Vega cards the "HBCC Memory Segment" has to be disabled in the Radeon Settings to use the option. Disadvantage is a higher risk of hash rate drops when the --maxmem option is used.

Cast XMR Version 0.9.6 (2018/04/17)
  - CryptoNight-Heavy fix for very low hash rates when HBCC Memory Segment is enabled
  - HBCC Memory Segment performance hint for Vega64 when mining CryptoNightV7
  - Improvement for 4GB versions of RX 470/480/570/580 when mining CryptoNightV7

Cast XMR Version 0.9.5 (2018/04/14)
  - 0.5% performance improvement for the CryptoNightV7 kernel
  - support for CryptoNight Heavy set --algo=2 to mine:
   - Sumokoin (SUMO)
   - Haven (XHV)

Cast XMR Version 0.9.2 (2018/03/29)
  - Improvements for RX Vegas that achieve 99% the performance of the Blockchain Compute Beta driver with the latest standard Radeon Driver 18.3.4

Cast XMR Version 0.9.1 (2018/03/22)
  - 0.5% overall performance improvement for Vega based GPUs
  - --ratewatchdog experimental option to monitor the hash rate, in case an occasional happening drop of the hash rate is detected the kernel will be resetted to restore the optimal hash rate
  - fully tested CryptoNight variant (CryptoNightV7) for the Monero V7 Network Upgrade PoW Change which is now scheduled for the 6th April.
  - In case you want to mine the Graft coin use the --algo=0 option, an automatic detection of the used CryptoNight variant is not possible for this coin. For all other known CryptoNight coins the hash variant seems to be detected correct
  - In case you are mining with nicehash.com or any other automatic coin switching pool that has the Graft coin in the mix the --algo=0 option is advised to prevent invalid shares on the Graft coin. Be aware to remove the option when the Monero V7 network upgrade is happpening otherwise it then will clash with mining Monero!

Cast XMR Version 0.9.0 (2018/03/08)
  - support for the Monero V7 network upgrade. Read more about it here
  - the Monero PoW switch will be automatically detected, no restart of cast XMR is required. Only make sure to update cast XMR before the network upgrade is happening and that the used Monero pool supports the network upgrade
  - no decrase in hash rate for other currencies was introduced by the change
  - CryptoNightV7 will run at the same hash rate as CryptoNight
  - for any case there is the new --algo option to force which CryptoNight variant to use:
    - -1 = autodetect (default)
    - 0 = CryptoNight
    - 1 = CryptoNightV7 (Monero V7 network upgrade)

Cast XMR Version 0.8.5 (2018/02/07)
  - 1% performance gain for Vega Frontier Edition with Blockchain driver (fastest GPU around)
  - 1% performance improvement with current stock driver (18.1.1) for RX Vega 56/64 (40% to go to reach Blockchain driver performance)
  - fix for random blocking console output
  - GPU now always logs with its device id not the order they are listed in the -G argument
  - --log option to log console output to a file
  - remote access includes CORS support in HTTP header

Cast XMR Version 0.8 (2017/12/14)

  - kernel optimizations result in subtle performance improvements
  - --fastjobswitch option (experimental) to force fast switching to new jobs. When enabled the GPUs will switch to the new job within less then 100ms. This improves the effective hash rate by 1 to 5% as nearly no GPU performance will be wasted on calculating outdated shares anymore. The drawback is a slightly lower displayed hashrate as while switching no hashes are calculated.
  - improved support for more then 8 GPUs
  - support for Radeon RX 470/RX 570 (Polaris) added
  - --forcecompute option to force kernel for compute mode on Polaris (RX470/570/480/580) GPUs. In the Radeon Settings GPU Workload has to be switched to 'Compute'. This option is available in Crimson 17.10.2 (or later) driver and reaches nearly the same performance on Polaris based GPUs as with the Blockchain driver.
  - openCL platform is auto detected if --opencl is not specified
  - --nonicehash option to disable nicehash support
  - nicehash support will automatically disabled if more then 8 GPUs are used. Otherwise search space could be exhausted to early and the GPUs search in overlapping nonce ranges.

Cast XMR Version 0.7 (2017/11/29)

  - network and job status added to current statistics
  - remote access to get current status at http://127.0.0.1:7777 in JSON format (enable with --remoteaccess)
  - command line option to specify number of reconnects to pool (default 100) before giving up (set with --reconnects n)
  - fix for nicehash to support upto 8 GPUs (before only 4 were possible)

Cast XMR Version 0.6 (2017/10/27)

  - improved queue sync which results in an 0.1% higher average hash rate
  - experimental support for Radeon RX 480/580 GPUs added
  - pessing 's' key prints the current statistics
  - count outdated and invalid shares separate
  - fixed random crash when quitting app
  - bugfix: invalid command line arguments did hang app

Cast XMR Version 0.5 (2017/10/19)

  - support for multiple Vega GPUs. Specify multiple GPUs comma separated with the -G switch like "-G 0,1,2,3"
  - monitor temperature and fan speed for each GPU
  - subtle performance improvements in core

Cast XMR Version 0.4 (2017/10/13)

  - performance optimizations result in 1 - 2% higher hash rates
  - reduced dev fee to 1.5%

Cast XMR Version 0.3 (2017/10/10)

  - performance optimizations result in 5 - 10% higher hash rates
  -  breaking the 2 KHashes/s barrier with working overclocking settings for RX Vega 64 and RX Vega 56

Cast XMR Version 0.2 (2017/09/27)

  - performance improvement result in 1% higher hashrates
  - Improved support for RX Vega 56 (now goes faster then a Vega 64 !?)
  - Detection if Blockchain driver is installed
  - Fix for Sikka and Intense pools

Cast XMR Version 0.1 (2017/09/22)

A Linux version is nearly finished, but does not reach the same performance as the Windows version, still investigating.

I have reviewed the original post again , no where it was stated that activity was done doing send function .
As such and since you have not fully described your problem i have not tested the send function .

Also if we are talking about test scenario i am was eating using Windows 10 64.
If you want full replication and validation of the issue it would help if you lay out all your configuration and scenario ( for example "My firewall detect an unwanted behavior for spymalware" Which firewall are you using , and how it is integrated to your network fabric )

We have tried to replicate this without success .
You might have other malicious code on your laptop .

disable antivirus/firewall I guess. No one else has reported issues like that, so you might have some other stuff going on with your system.

Hi,

Today i installed the graftwallet from the offical site, create a new adress and when i click send. My firewall detect an unwanted behavior for spymalware.

My webcam light gone on for an second.. if i try again happened too..

Please try in an webcam notebook..

WTF is this behavior??

What is the value to the project in spending over 1 million USD for exchange listing ?
Such sum will drive much larger value by using it for development and product enchantment
