Ya, that was a great read, thanks for the share! Let's not worry about the hard fork. We need a soft fork first. Is there a plan to release the soft fork very soon? Err...the soft fork has been out for days now. Nearly all of the major Eth pools have already switched to using the soft fork, while some give miners the choice (port a = soft fork, port b = original). Still, soft fork isn't the best solution. I'm anxiously awaiting a good, clean hard fork. |

6 gpus should only use 1000 watts. You can't be paying $1/kwh.
Really? :-) From specs, 390X can use up to 375W (75 from PCI-e, 150*2 from two 8-pin connectors). In reality well-loaded they can draw even more. 375*6 = 2250W + MB (let say, 150). So 2.4kW*24*30=1728kW per month. For reference, my 390X*5 diskless rig draws around 2030-2100W from the outlet mining both ETH+DCR at 16/47 intensity. Exactly. My rig has 4x 390x and 2x 280x, so I need 2 1k PSU's. Not sure what kind of tiny gpu's you're using to have 6 only using 1k watts. In any case, it's simply not worth it to me to pay such large electricity (summer months have higher electricity prices). Anyone know a good way to automate sleeping a rig and then turning it back on to mine at certain intervals during the day? Edit: Found a guide to handle this through Window's Task Scheduler  |

Speaking of power usage....I got my first electricity bill with a full month's worth of mining with the 6 gpu rig I recently finished building. $668.72  To be fair, my normal bill is around $90-$120 each month. So, I'm enrolling in a new rate plan with my utility company. Prices are lower on weekdays except between 3-8 pm. Does anyone know of a way to automate putting my rig to sleep and then waking up at a certain time and running a program (the miner)? Can it be done through batch? Maybe Windows Scheduler? |

Honestly though, wit PoS on the horizon, this price swing is pretty sweet for those that were waiting for a lower buy-in rate. Just drop a bit more and I can hit my goals!

My gtx 980 keeps giving me this message if I try to down the intensity. Any ideas?  haveing the same issue, but i havent touched the -I setting. Bump! Anyone know how to solve this issue? |

I finally got my voltmeter and took some measurements. My rig: H81 PRO BTC 2x 1k watt EVGA Supernova PSUs 4x 390x 2x 280x tiny intel cpu I configured my gpus with - 1x 390x + 2x 280x + MB on 1st PSU
- 3x 390x on 2nd PSU
Using Add2PSU to connect the 2. Using dual mode mining at stock speeds, I'm pulling ~1040 watts from first PSU and ~1100 watts from 2nd PSU Is that safe to do? I didn't know a 1000 watt PSU could pull more than that. PSUs are able to deliver more wattage in peaks, but not at constant load. I would buy a proper wattage meter and check then. I dont think that your readings are correct, your mining would not be stable with this kind of load. 900W on each is certainly doable with your setup and I would not stress the PSUs more than that. Undervolt if possible, it can do miracles. Ok, thanks for the advice. It's a Kill-a-Watt voltmeter, which I've been told are quite reliable. To be fair though, I only ran dual mining a couple minutes to take measurements. I've been mining in eth-only mode since because I was afraid of what it might do to my rig with constant mining. I bought some more fans for my rig, so when I get those connected I'll take some time optimizing (undervolting/underclocking) and then take some more measurements. I was getting whacked reading from my watt meter when it was plugged into a power board, plugging it (the watt meter) in at the wall made the reading much more realistic. Also the rating on psu is for deliverable power for example depending on efficiency of psu a 1000w psu can deliver 1000w but will consume more at the wall depending on how efficient it is. Ok, makes sense. I live in an older building, so figured it was best to not have both PSUs at the same outlet (e.g. with an extender). So both are of course connected directly to wall. |

relatively new to DCR mining.....does the dual feature of this software lead to slower DCR speeds than just mining only DCR?
Yes. It's an eth miner first, and dcr miner 2nd. Although, by setting different intensity numbers, i'm sure u could tweak it to go the other way around, or at least close. |

I wonder if the new gtx 1070/1080 cards will beat the 980ti in the quark algo. Here is sp-mod #6 private compute 5.2 unreleased:  Got my hands on 1080 with ccMiner 1.5.80-git SP-MOD fork on Quark at default clokcs at ~170W it does 32000 unfortunetly it needs optimization for neoscrypt as it did only 0.450 with default settings at ethereum it crashes with Genoil build - says doesnt recognizes the device but at original Ocl version it gives... 12.5mhs with low tdp (need to double check but it is around 30W!) - needs an optimization as well ... ... ... Scuse me?? |

An Eth/FTC dual miner would be so so awesome. Not sure what kind of hash rates could be expected though...

If my ticket has been picked and I get my reward, how is that sent to my wallet? Does it happen automatically, or is there something I need to do to get my PoS rewards? Thanks!
I happens automatically. However, it usually takes a day before the coins become spendable. If you have your wallet set to purchase tickets automatically, you may never get to spend the bulk of them unless you adjust your settings. Nice, thanks! Out of curiosity though, the PoS pool shows me a "Redeem Script". What is that for? The redeem script is the private key that you need to import into your local wallet. You do need to do this once before you can redeem any of your rewards, so the answer that I gave you previously, does not totally apply. However, once you import in your wallet, it will be automatic from there. Any chance you know of a guide that explains the steps/commands to import? It gives instructions on the staking pool webpage. Click on "ticket instructions" near the bottom. I would assume you have a local command line wallet and daemon running, right? I must admit, this command line is a chore and I still don't understand it myself. Hope the mainnet GUI comes out really soon. However, all I've read so far basically is "hurry up and wait." Oops, ya you're right. I forgot I did that way back before I bought my first ticket  Thanks for all the help! |

Miner shows GPU temps and fan speed every 30 seconds if you specified "-tt" parameter to manage fans.
I will add "-tt 1" that will not manage fans but will show temps and fan speeds.
You the man Claymore! |

Is there a flag to enable showing current GPU temps during run time? How about fan speed as %? I don't see anything in the Readme.txt...

got my powerline adapter! Getting stable results finally with 4x 390x:
HOW did you get such a huge speed in Decred?! My 390 earns twice less! While doing the same speed as yours in ETH. What is the command line? What is the mem/cpu clocking? I didn't change the clocks at all on these out of the box. AFterburner says core clock is ~1080, and memory clock is 1500 for each card. My config: 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 eth-us.dwarfpool.com:8008 -ewal wallet -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:2252 -dwal SantasNotReal.MiningRig -dpsw x -dcri 55 -dbg -1
PAUSE I don't have a voltmeter yet (in the mail), so I just upped dcri until I noticed eth hash drop, then kept it. Much more dcri and I start to lose a bit of eth hash. I imagine the power/profitability is somewhere closer to dcri 45, but still need to do those tests. Also, that screenshot was with dcri 65. 55 (current setting) gives me ~840 mh each card. Edit: Great thinking with the "+" and "-" commands for dcri. Usability is something that is too often a low priority in the software world (I know, I'm an engineer myself) |
