41  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.7 (Windows/Linux) on: May 14, 2018, 04:32:46 AM
Claymore 11.7 has been running well for me with only the occasional slowdown of card for a couple of minutes only to pick back up to speed.

My only problem is that I can't reliably STOP the program.  I get a BSD from a driver fault whenever I try to stop.  I've tried most of this year's drivers from the 18.2 in Feb to the one before the latest.  I'm in no hurry to be current on my driver under Win10 but I am looking for that stability.  No memory errors and nothing crazy in the overclocking realm.  I'm about 28.5MHs on each of my 580s.

I do use DDU in Safe Mode when I switch drivers to get the cleanest possible install.

Any thoughts about where to look?
What bioses?

I'm running Ultramix 3.1 with Samsung memory and just a strap copy with the Hynix ... 1750 to 2000. All are at 2000MHz.  They really clip along fairly well.  I just can't reliably stop them. Smiley

I suppose it could be worse.

Claymore sees all 3 cards, thus the reported hash rate is correct.
I agree that you should supply the clocks and voltages for all all cards to be consistant, but it isn't required to function.
If you supply only one it is used on all cards in the system. In his case all cards would get  -cvddc 980 as the parameter.
I'll be interested to know the outcome.

Oh, I see it now.  I missed the reported hashrate line in the graph.  You think someone is in between him and the pool feeding him jobs but only giving him partial credit?  Perhaps flipping some of his shares?

Hi guys,
Sorry to bring this up, but I have been testing PhoenixMiner vs. Claymore's tonight and the (preliminary) results are not in favor of Claymore...

I have a small test rig (Win10, latest amd drivers, 3x RX 570 4Gb modded bios) just to test latest drivers, miners etc before loading on to my other rigs.

I have mined with the following batch files:

PhoenixMiner.exe -pool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -pool2 us1.ethermine.org:4444 -wal 0xAddress.RigName -proto 3 -tt 65 -tstop 80 -tstart 60 -fanmin 80 -fanmax 100

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0xAddress.RigName -epsw x -platform 1 -etha 0 -eres 1 -gser 2 -r 1 -mport 0 -cvddc 980 -tt 65 -fanmin 50 -fanmax 100 -ttli 75 -tstop 78 -ethi 20 -etht 20 -cclock 1150 -mclock 2090

Reason for the test was I was getting big difference between reported and current hashrate at ethermine. Stale shares are always around 2-5%.

What I see now after one hour mining with Phoenix, is this:


Whats happening?


It looks like you're seeing the effect of the command lines working somewhat differently between the two programs.  Claymore is obviously only running one card.  I see you are mostly only supplying parameters for one card on the Claymore command line.  For example -cvddc 980 instead of -cvddc 980,980,980 ... etc.  I don't think you have to do it that way but it always helps remind me that I'm working with multiple cards.

Thanks for the update and letting everybody know. Did they steal a lot of ethereum coin? When the hack start?
I'm going to read the article on Reddit now.


Yup it seems like quite a lot of coins were transferred to rogue account.  
However this was not MEW being hacked but a DNS attack.  Also, there should've been a SSL/TLS certificate mismatch shown by the browser.  If the user still went and logged in that user's wallet might be compromised.

I think from reports, it was the MEW DNS servers that were hacked and they, of course, report their addresses out to the public DNS servers since they are authoritative for the MEW domain.  So many people use Google DNS that they just placed the blame there as that's the system they see giving them the bad address.  But it was the MEW DNS servers pushing the bad address up to the public DNS system.

not BS bro.  i switched to the latest hoping the higher hashrate will be worth it.. but the shares are alot lower.  BTW...   you will notice a big difference if you run demion nodevfee.. which is the only legit nodevfee program.  You will see that v11.2 and higher you will not be able to divert the devfees back to yourself.  I would say version 11 is the last decent claymore version.. after that it's all bloatware.

So your real issue is that you can't hack the DevFee due to the move to SSL for those connections.  Sad.

I have a rig with 4 GPU.
Is it possible to activate solo mining ETH only on 1 out of 4?

Yes, run Claymore twice.  Once for the single card, then the second instance for the other cards.

Anyone able to mine Musicoin (current DAG 1.61GB) in a 2GB card in Win10?  This is just a card on the bus with no display attached and comes up with 71MB pre-allocated ... by Win10 I assume.  I would have thought that Claymore v11.6 would be able to build the DAG and install it in the remaining space but apparently not.  I would understand if this were a card also running a display in Windows but as a non-display card it's showing 2MB Dedicated and 0MB Dynamic allocated in GPU-Z at idle.  HWiNFO shows 71MB allocated total.

Does the on-GPU code from Claymore take up the other 350+ MB when run and prevents the DAG from allocating?  I'm -eres 0 and -allcoins 1 on the CL.

Maybe ignorant question, but how are the ASICs going to work? I thought the whole point of DAGs was to prevent ASICs. How do the ASICs fit the DAG file on their chips affordably?

They don't ... they have DDR3 memory attached to the ASICs / FPGAs.  If you look on the Bitmain site, you can see that the device is a) twice the size of their other miners and b) is about the hash equivalent of 4x 580's.  If you consider the 800 watts of draw, it uses more Watts/MH than a rig with 4x 580s.  About the only attractive thing about it is the price ... $800.


180 Mhash/sec is at least 6 RX 470/480/570/580 even with BIOS straps and all other optimizations. (widely reported in the 28-30 Mhash range for best optimized cards, sometimes a bit less).
It's also a HAIR less than 6 x GTX 1070 (31-32 Mhash common numbers, rarely under 31).

Power usage is pretty much a tossup with a well-optimized 6 card rig - bit higher than the Nvidia option, right around the same vs the AMD option.

The size IS interesting, and has led to some speculation that it's somehow a GPU rig - but the PRICE makes it unlikely to be GPU based.


You're right of course.  I'm not sure why my brain settled on 4x when 180/30 is clearly 6x.  The only thing close to 4x would have been Vega64's.

The only decent way to attack the Ethash mechanism is to take advantage of the 64 DAG lookup steps in the algorithm.  If you broke your DAG storage into 64 or 128 or 256 separately accessible pieces, you could pipeline the 64 lookup's and take advantage of the random nature of the lookup addresses.  The point is to do 64 lookup's at the same time taking advantage of their being in separate pieces of memory ... usually.  In this way you could pipeline the Ethash and have 64 going on at the same time with each at one point along the 64 step process ... ignoring the pre and post processing.  Occasionally, you would have a collision when two or more lookup's needed the same DAG section and so you'd stall for that step.  It's difficult to get all of that address and data bus space hooked into an ASIC or FPGA.  So it's still a hard problem ... not impossible though.

V11.6 has eliminated the "incorrect shares" that I was getting in prior versions.  Was running just over 1% ... now none.  No other changes than moving from 11.5 to 11.6.  Thanks Claymore.

It looks like NLPOOL has been rejecting my connection attempts over the last couple of hours.  Is the pool oversubscibed for Verge perhaps?  I've also switched to the LITECOIN wallet as described in the instructions on the site which worked fine at first I believe.

Once I switch back to the Verge wallet, it works fine.  I think their examples of how to mine on the Litecoin wallet are not correct for Claymore.

When I was first able to run it, it showed I was mining on something like LITEX16R even though I had "-dpsw c=XVG" as their example shows.  Perhaps @Mine_phun will chime in.

Edit: This is now fixed on the site.  Thanks for addressing so quickly.
55  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.3 (Windows/Linux) on: March 11, 2018, 06:39:56 PM
I have a six 470 rig, modded BIOS with Claymore 11.2 and the following config:

-dcri 1
-cclock 1240
-mclock 2200
-cvddc 950
-tt 72
-fanmin 50
-fanmax 90
 
Does anyone know why I'm getting about 27MH/s for the 5 GPUs and 32MH/s for 1 of them?
The GPUs are identical and bought on the same batch.

Because you're only overclocking one of them?  Is that a rhetorical question?  Perhaps try -cclock 1240,1240,1240,1240,1240,1240 to overclock all 6 at the same level.
56  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.2 (Windows/Linux) on: March 03, 2018, 09:30:55 PM
OC not working first time miner is running? Using start.bat

I have OC set in my config
-cclock 1150
-cvddc 0850
-mclock 2000
-mvddc 850
-tt 57

The first time miner starts all gpus hashing 24.9 mh/s in eth.

If I close the miner window and open start.bat (which contains gpu force etc as mentioned on first page) the miner starts and gpus is hashing 30.x mh/s

Amd 18.2.3 drivers, compute mode enabled. (Trixx, wattman and amd settings etc is not installed).

I see the same behavior, though GPUz shows the frequencies that I intended to set, the miner hashes about 10% low.  I stop and start again and it's back where it should be.  This happens when using the older Blockchain drivers or the newest Adrenalin drivers.  I thought I was losing my mind.  Glad to see I'm not the only one.  I've just learned to start twice after any re-boot.

I remotely installed the 11.2 on my friends pc and is terrible if you disable dual mining, for example, during afternoon is blazing hot so usually turn off dual mining and when it turns dual mining off, is bad, had to reverse to v11 and this is my first time i reversed it. And to mention, 4 out of 8 gpus crashed after dag creation and only lowering the clock core a lot could make them to work again. So back to v11 on that pc and, @claymore you should investigate why updating the kernels brought such drawbacks.

I saw something similar and then changed from "-asm 2" back to "-asm 1" and the single mining went back up where it should have been.
58  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.2 (Windows/Linux) on: March 02, 2018, 09:29:02 PM
v11.2:

- some improvements in AMD GPU kernels, it can increase hashrate a bit in some cases.
- reduced some delays, it will cause a bit less stale shares.

I had to re-tune with v11.2 but afterward, I'm seeing a 1.2% increase in hash (580/8GB cards) ... nicely done.  It's like getting the dev fee back. Smiley

That's ETH + Blake2s.  I would imagine ETH only would require a re-tune via -dcri as well to find the sweet spot.

Dear @Mine_Phun, NLPool.NL seems to be clipping along well since the hardware upgrade.  I see there are nearly 1000 Verge miners on it now.

I think there's some confusion on the payout increments and you may be able to clear up some of this by editing your Home page.  You list the min payouts as 0.001 and 0.0001, the second I assume is on Sundays.   I think you mean to express that these are in BTC equivalents and not in XVG.

On the miner page for specific accounts, I see that you DO list the wallet payout increment but I'm not sure everyone has seen this.  Also, it seems that the wallet pays out under this amount on Sundays as one might expect just to clear out accounts.

Perhaps you can clarify.  Still, seems to be running very well since the re-build / upgrade.  My payments are processing just fine but I've seen some comments that lead me to believe there is confusion.

At the moment, what is the best Verge pool? Or are they all still shit?

NLPool - Died
Uni - Stealing Hashrate
Antmining - Profit was low

Are they still the same, or have any of them improved?

You can try: http://xvgminingclub.info/

Did the same as you (tested all those pools) then I found out those guys. Really nice and friendly. Hope they get more hash.  Smiley

nl improved a lot

Agreed, working well now.
