Good morning. I'm new at this so please bear with me. I'm running two 1050's, Defender disabled, virtual mem set to 16384, getting a
socket was closed remotely (by pool)
ETH; Job timeout, disconnect, retry in 20 sec....
Batch file
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0xMyEtherWalletAddress.backroom -esm 2 -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:3252 -dwal Redhex.my -dpsw x -nofee 0 -mode 1
#-eworker 0xMyEtherWalletAddress.backroom
Lastly, what adjustments do I need to make to get paid as quickly as possible?
Thank you in advance and sorry if you already face palmed after reading this.
I would suggest using the ethermine ssl port instead of the standard stratum port: -epool ssl://us1.ethermine.org:5555 You will have MUCH less stale shares and it's a secure connection. Also make sure to setup backup pools in the epools.txt file in case the main pool goes down. If you want to get paid more frequently, you can adjust the minimum payout amount in the pool settings. Dual mining DCR, SIA, PASC or LBC is no longer a profitable option for GPU's since ASIC's were released for those algorithms. |

I installed the latest 18.4.1 Adrenaline driver on my 13 and 6 GPU rigs. One thig I noticed was the driver install on the 13 GPU rig was MUCH faster. It used to take over 20 minutes to install the driver and with the 18.4.1 driver it took ~5 minutes to install. No problems with dropping hash rate and running very stable. The release notes mention the driver focuses on support for the Windows 10 April rollout update. If you don't have the latest updates installed, the driver is probably not compatible with your Windows install and that may be causing the issues. This release focuses on support for Windows 10 April Update (RS4). This release also contains updates to stability with new end-user issue fixes.

What matters in mining is latency and reliability. You want your network connection to receive work and submit shares in the shortest amount of time possible to reduce stale shares. Satellite internet usually has a high latency of >500 ms, which means you will have more stale shares and less reliability compared to other broadband connection types such as cable or DSL service. If you live in a city, you should be able to get a DSL connection through the phone company and that would have a lower latency compared to standard satellite broadband connections. Even a 3G/4G wireless connection would be a better option.

No. The goal of multi POW algorithm coins such as Myriadcoin, Digibyte and Unitus is better decentralization of mining rewards. Since each algorithm has it's own difficulty and blocks, if one of the POW algorithms has a spike in difficulty from an increase in network hash rate, a miner can choose one of the other POW algorithms that has a lower difficulty and thus better profitability.
Since the total hash rate is spread out over different POW blocks that each have their own unique network hash rate instead of a single algorithm blockchain like a standard POW coin, theoretically a 51% attack is easier on a multi POW algo coin.

Even though under the hood most Linux distributions are basically the same, Ubuntu is a better choice for a new user as most guides for mining on Linux are based on Ubuntu. Linux Mint is also based on Ubuntu, but with a custom UI to make it more intuitive for users switching from Windows.

Try this: sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev |
|
|
|
libcurl.so.4 is a library file, which would be listed after the folders in /usr/lib/ Seems like Linux Mint is installing an old curl version. See if this install the correct library. sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libcurl4:i386 |
|
|
|
|
There should be a libcurl.so.4 library file in the system library folder /usr/lib/
|
|
|
|
See which curl version is installed with: also see if you have a libcurl.so.4 library in /usr/lib/ |
|
|
|
Looks like your system is missing curl, which is a dependency of the Claymore miner. To see if curl is installed, in a terminal window type: And it will show the path of the executable (it should be /usr/bin/curl). If it's not installed install curl with: sudo apt-get install curl And then try running the start.bash from a terminal window again. |
|
|
|
After setting the permissions for the Claymore script and executable, open a terminal window the in the Claymore folder and type: What is the output? |
|
|
|
For security, Linux won't allow unrecognized executable files to run until the user expressly changes the permissions of the file allow the file to be executable. To mark the file and script to allow executable mode, open a terminal in the miner folder and type: chmod +x {start.bash,ethdcrminer64} |

The word on the street is that Bitmain has some fast F3 Ethereum miner that they want to keep private because they don't want the ETH devs to perform a hard fork and make it useless.
So instead they cleverly released an E3 miner which seems no different than most GPU mining rigs.
The ETH devs saw no centralization issue and declined to do any future algo changes.
And then Bitmain raised the price by $1000 and so far nobody has seen it in person. It won't be shipped until June or July.
I don't know where you are getting any of that. In fact as to the possibility of an algorithm change, in the last developer meeting they seemed rather open to the idea if the ASIC threat and community justified it, even if it was just an experiment to see how much the network hash rate would be affected by that move. The problem is the ETH 'ASIC' first batch from Bitmain won't ship until the middle of July and too little factual information is known at this point to make an informed decision. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKumx5CIA-k&feature=youtu.be&t=1909 |

You could try Gateless Gate Sharp miner. Apparently it can mod the memory timings on the fly, without having to mod them in the Bios. I have the same Sapphire Pulse 4GB card with Hynix memory and get ~30 MH/s with a 1200 MHz core clock, 2075 MHz memory overclock with the Claymore miner. The custom timings I used are from the PBE v1.7 'One Click Timing Patch' Bios mod. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1716584.0On the first set of timings I copied this strap to the 1:1750 and 1:2000 Elpida timings 777000000000000022AA1C00315A5B36A0550F15B68C1506004082007C041420CA8980A9020004C01712262B612B3715 And on the second set I copied this strap to the 2:1500, 2:1625, 2:1750 and 2:2000 Hynix timings. 999000000000000022559D0010DE5B4480551312B74C450A00400600750414206A8900A00200312010112D34A42A3816 A guide to use to learn the basics of optimizing your cards to mine ETH is www.mining.help.  |

That article, as well as this topic is just click bait. If you actually follow the Ethereum Foundation developer meetings and Casper POS fork development, rather than taking random quotes out of context, you would know they are nowhere near a full implementation of Casper. In fact in the developer meeting last Friday they seemed rather open to the idea of forking the network if the ASIC threat and community justified it, even if it was just an experiment to see how much the network hash rate would be affected by that move. The problem is too little factual information on the ETH ASIC's is known at this point to make an informed decision. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKumx5CIA-k&feature=youtu.be&t=1909 |

Undervolting is not harmful to the cards. Basically if the voltage is too low for what the card is doing it will either disregard the setting or crash. Neither causes damage to the hardware. Lowering the power limit too much will lower hash rate though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28YfTL0titc&t=135s |
