Some noobs are trying to hijack the tread for the Claymore miner, which is AMD only! Please go find another forum! Btw, you are jelous because you came too late for the ZEC party  Actually you will always be, because of the Nvidia stupid politics. You will fool nobody here. You forgot the past month and a half moaning in numerous posts here for a Nvidia miner  |

Funny, so I've installed windows on one rig, Win 10 Pro, especialy for Claymore 8 and my 480's and like 10 years go, Win freezes completely on a random basis  Just one of the many reasons serious miners prefer LINUX. Why, cause "Linux doesn't freeze"? 1) LINUX is infinitely more stable than Windows (which isn't saying much). I have LINUX machines that have run with no outages (hardware failure, shut down to physically MOVE the machine, and power outages excluded) since before Windows XP EXISTED - literally. The only Windows machine I've EVER had go a year without crashing was a NT 3.51 SP5 machine - vs MORE THAN 20 YEARS for some of my LINUX machines that were running the same user programs. 2) If you have a power outage, your miner running under Windows won't restart when power comes back on 'till you LOG IN MANUALLY (I have yet to see any miner program that could be run a a service). LINUX makes it easy to set up so the miner will restart automatically after a power outage. IMO the only thing Windows has going for it are that the overclock/fan control programs available for it like Afterburner are a lot better. None of these statements is true. For 2) check your Bios. Every Bios has an option to turn on the computer after the power is restored, including windows machine. Of course you have to put a shortcut to the miner in the start up menu. |

Anyone else dissapoint with the Nanopool ? Its paying consistently under what it should be for the h/s it displays by a good 15% and on top of that its not even showing the right h/s , its under by around 1000 h/s for my 15000 h/s
anyone seeing this as well ?
Nano pool has always been like that. I second that. I compared Nanopool for ETH, ETC and ZEC with the following pools: dwarfpool for ETH, ethc.epool.io for ETC, flypool and coinmine for ZEC. I must say that nanopool was giving 5-10% less earnings compared to the other pools. I also noticed that dwarfpool was giving exactly the same profit as the calculator www.whattomine.com was showing both for ETH and XMR (with Claymore Cryptonight miner). I think that Nano is delibarately showing an incorrect hashrate. Only the profit tests can show the real picture. |

Let me share something funny. Year after year my family could afford to heat only half of our appartment during the winters. This winter my rigs gathered in 1 room generate so much heat that the temps in all rooms are around 30 C. We are literally walking in T-shirts and eating ice creams while outside we have snow and temps -10 C. Not only that but we get paid for these heating devices so our income doubled. Life is great! Thanks Sir Claymore!  |

I like the look of his speeds. Wish mine ran that well.  Crazy and look at those temps - this can't be legit. May be GTX Titan Z can achieve this? Either way, not worth the 3000$ investment lol |

I see some posts that V8 reached hardware limits and there is no way to improve speed anymore. It's not true.
I'm working on new version with another good speedup, though it takes more time and efforts.
And whats the point?? High temperatures, more electricity and same profit, cuz all are with the new miner. Your new versions are not helpful, do you know that? My miner does not support Linux, Nvidia, CPUs. They will not get any speedups from my miner. Though I'm ready to stop development if most of people think so. It's not a problem for me at all. Make a vote somewhere to see results. If Claymore didn't release his miner we all would have been using other public miners for linux or their windows ports. They are not that far from Claymore v8 speeds, but are very unstable under windows at least. Besides, I know for at least 1 private miner sold to the biggest farms which I suppose is really fast. I think the difficulty and hence the earnings are not affected so much by Claymore's miner. We should be thankful to Claymore for his perfect job. Trolling and negativity is only in the favour of the big farms, imo. |

Guys, can you tell me what is the average life of a rig which is on 24/7? Some of my fans are dead after 3 months, so it is clear that they will be all dead in 2 years tops. But what about the psu's, mobos and video cards? Can I expect them to work 3 or 4 years with the Claymore miners? I am asking this because if the profits drop again (like 0.20$ per day for 280x before the Zec launch), I will not be able to return my investment in near future.
They have warranty for 3 years so it doesn't matter. Your 280x should of been making almost $1/day before ZEC, maybe your electricity is too high Yes, I am talking about the profit not the rev. For 15 Mh/s (280x cards) the profit dropped below 0.30$ in the days when the ETH, ETC and XMR were plumetting. The profit was $0.90-$1.00 right before ZEC. If your total revenue was only $0.30 you must have crazy electricity prices. This is BS. Check http://www.whattomine.com/ - Right now the profit is 0.38$ and it is 50% more than the plummeting times. |

165 H/s for stock XFX 280x, 178 for Saphire tri-X, and 215-220 H/s for 390's. Not bad at all  Still 280x are 3 times more profitable than ETH/ETC. |

It seems that the undervoltage is not particularly friendly to this miner. I have 1 rig with 6x 390 cards (Powercolor, Saphire and Asus) which I undervolt wiht Trixx -150 mv. They work perfectly with Claymore ETH and XMR miner as well as silentarmy5. But after version 4 of this miner each of them crashes 5 to 20 mins tops after the start. I tried them separately still the same problem. Then I reduced the undervolt to -100 mv and the rig has stabilized now for 4-5 hours with a total hash of 1050 Sols/s. Currently the power draw by the wall is 1400W, but with all -150v it could have been 1200-1300W. Curiously, with Claymore ETH miner it draws 1540W, but is stable for months without any crashes at -150mv.  I have also XFX 390 cards on other rigs, and they are stable at -150 mv since the beginning |

my zecminer crashes only in a 380 rig, someone with the same problem?
My 6 R9 390 rig crashes severely on all cards. The same type of cards on mixed rigs work flawlessly! The 390 rig works perfectly with other miners (Claymore ETH, XMR, Silentarmy5) and with significantly fewer crashes on ZEC versions 3-4. I am considering replacing driver 15.12 with the lastest 16.10 or 16.11. |

i have experienced high cpu (i3) usage 100% when mining on 4x 1070 Nvidia's OpenCL drives implement busy waiting which leads to 100% core utilization per instance. I have changes that work on Linux, https://github.com/mbevand/silentarmy/pull/60 I don't know what is status of them being ported to Windows. My Windows port includes a modified version of your patch, which seems to be working fine. Actually, it works for my 280x, but doesn't work for my r9 390 cards (and for other forum members 380 cards) , while Genoil miner works for all. |

Finally, working miner for my 390 cards! Thank you! |

I installed cygwin and followed the instructions for windows. It worked for my 280x cards but not for 390 cards. Any ideas?
It's probably due to driver issues...280x uses different driver than 390...please use GPU-Z to find if there are driver issues. I have no driver issues. The cards work perfect with claymore miner. P.S. I got the same message after waiting 6-7 min as the above post. |

V3.1 stable on all machines except one, which is a 7 card rig. Few minutes in one of the GPU's ( always at index 1) would report 0 sols/s, the watchdog will restart the miner, and "Desplay driver stopped working, has recovered" error pops up, and then the system just crashes.
Some people pointed out that it could be a riser issue, but I've tried isolating the faulty card by running each card on its own thread, and they work fine. Its only if I run one instance of claymore's with all 7 cards that this problem occurs. I've tried moving from modded bios to stock, different driver versions, and this keeps happening still. Any clues?
The same thing here. I got all rigs except 1 working with v. 2.1-3.1 with -i 2. The problematic rig has 6 R9 390 which work about 20 min with 60-ish sols (and over 1% rejected shares) then 1 card stops. Curiously, with -i 0 there is no problem and the cards give 70-75 sols! I tried everything but it is not the card nor the riser. |

The best pool for zcash? I am already with flypool.
Maybe try https://zec.suprnova.cc - best support, ocminer is also in slack I don't like suprnova pools since their site is buggy and the hashrate is 20% less than other pools. Similarly, nanopool is giving 15% less not only in ZEC but in ETH and ETC compared to the best pools. Currently I am using flypool and for now I get the best results both in local hashrate and in their statistics. May be 15-20% better at least for the past 24 hours. I will test coinmine if the hashrate drops. I wish dwarfpool had zec, there the ETH hashrate is nearly the same as my local hashrate... |
