v3.3 is available:
- Improved mining speed up to 5%, depends on card, I get 650 h/s on stock 290x.
- Improved stability.
It seems I fixed issue with bad performance on 280x, though not sure, on my 280x it works fine.
What is the hash rate on your 280x? 450 h/s in v3.2, 460 h/s in v3.3. Stock clocks and bios, 280x powercolor, hynix memory, no riser. It seems I have to check this problem only remotely with logs, so it will take more time to find the reason. |

Can you make it wait 10 seconds after disconnect and retry before switching pools? Sometimes the pool has to be restarted and it's annoying to lose >50% of your hash for being down for 1 second..
Put every pool twice in "pool.txt"... Oh, you are on pool-side, ok, I will add 1 retry attempt  |

Also no improvement on my 280x. Check PM, you did not answer me. |

soon the miner will be as power hungry as scrypt :O
Is there possibility of adding "intensity" setting, ie trading 10% speed for lower power usage
Unfortunately, there is no way to do it, it will kill hashrate completely. |

I cannot redirect stdout using pipes, what function you use to print output?
printf |

Is the first pool in pools.txt main pool, or it only applies to the first one in command line?
Can you make in next version that it's possible to put -u address -p pass also in pools.txt file, and not only email and password? If -u and -p are specified in pools.txt for a given pool then that would have higher priority then -u and -p in command line.
Try it! |

Why do you think that minergate uses Stratum? Check addresses: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=528848.0>can you tell me whats those ?mining at minergate Just read message, stale share = outdated share. This pool reports about outdated shares. |

v3.2 is available:
- Added minergate pool support.
- Added "main pool" - miner will try to use main pool every 30 minutes.
- "pools.txt" file - now you can specify login and password for every pool.
- Current pool address is displayed for every new job.
- Improved stability.

Now I will check performance issue on some 280x cards.

I will add it later, right now it does not even want to sync with network. There are too many clones nowadays... In a few hours I'll release update with minergate support and main pool which will be checked periodically if miner has to use some alternate pool. |

A couple of comments on this for Claymore:
1) Have you noticed that this miner works better on AMD platforms than on Intel platforms? Maybe there's something else at play, but I have three FX-8320 rigs with 3x280X in each, and they all get around 1350 H/s. Then I have one rig with i5-4670K (which is often a bit faster on mining than the AMD rigs) and it only gets ~1100 H/s. The GPU usage also fluctuates a lot, like from 80% to 95% where the AMD rigs are all pretty consistently at 97-99% load.
2) It seems you've focused pretty much exclusively on performance with GCN cards. Is that because the older 6900 and 5800 series cards suck at the required calculations, or is it just a lack of time/hardware/whatever? My 6970 cards will do 500KH/s on Scrypt, which isn't that far off of the 600KH/s I get with a 7950; X11 hashing is a similar ratio. With the CryptoNote miner I get 200 H/s per 6970 compared to around 350 H/s with 7950. It would be nice to see improved performance on older GPUs like the 6900 series, but I understand if that's not possible.
3) Any chance of a BBR (Keccak Wild) miner, or is that not possible right now?
1. I have only Intel-based rigs and they all show good performance as described in readme. I don't have AMD-based systems. 2. I don't have old cards, also I don't have time for old cards, it would take a lot of time to support two generations instead of one GCN, may be I will do it but later. 3. Right now I don't have BBR miner. It takes a lot of time and efforts to create new efficient miner, BBR PoW is completely different from CryptoNote coins. |

- MEGA link problems: you can also download miner here: http://moneropool.org Though I did not check it I think it's the same file. - Sources: my miners are closed sources, I don't open sources. - Bad performance on 280X - start miner, wait 1 minute and send me the log file in PM, describe what CPU, Windows, RAM size, Catalyst you use, some details about GPUs (manufacturer, model name). Make sure you start miner directly, not remotely. Also try to remove all GPUs except one and send me the log for this configuration. |

plz help me my rig drop   Mine 290x does the same but its jumping between 75 and 100% work load, 280x rig is constant at 98-99% Claymore this is normal variation for R9 290 GPU? Yes. |

Claymore
Could you make 3 things:
1. Can you write, on what pool r we mining now?
2. Can you give option for minimum speed? If for example 3 minutes hash speed<that I specify, close miner.
3. Programmable amount of mining time? for example, each hour close miner, so we can rerun it ones more by script.
1. Ok. 2,3 - use "-wd 1" for that. |

Claymore - Any ideas on why some of our 280x are not hashing correctly?
I have no idea, it must something related to hardware I think. edit: I've also noticed that the miner will start strong but after lets say something like 8 hours it slows down to fraction of the starting hashrate. I have also had freezes where it appears that it is mining but in fact is not.
If you don't overclock cards it must show same hashrate. If you see big degradation - send me the log. |

does minergate work now ?
It will be added in 1-2 days, also I will add more features for fail-over support. |

Hi guys. I've got a problem
I've changed operating system to windows 7 64 ultimate to mine Monero. Unfortunately it can only work with 4 graphic cards. Is there any way to make the 5th card visible and usable under windows 7? Or should I change system to windows 8 ?
Thanks in advance

When using pools.txt, when is the miner switching pool - on first failure? Is there switch telling how much retries before switching?
On first failure, and you can test it easily, just drop internet connection and see. |

I receive this error with gpu miner, anyone can help me?? My GPU is an AMD RADEON SAPPHIRE HD 5450 with lastest driver available on Win7..
Your videocard is not supported, there is no way to make it work there. |
