If you don't want to pay DevFee use some other miner. Don't cheat. Just image how you would feel if someone not pay you for your work.
I knew some of you would object to that kind of post which is why I kept it vague and technical. For the rest of you, how about you all not 'cheat' and stop using/accumulating cryptocurrency, embrace receiving fiat for your labor, pay your taxes for the government's work? See, we could have entire arguments about morality and money which I don't care for. |

Here are a few of the DevFee addresses found within v11:
0xB9cF2dA90Bdff1BC014720Cc84F5Ab99d7974EbA
0x3509F7bd9557F8a9b793759b3E3bfA2Cd505ae31
0xdE088812A9c5005b0dC8447B37193c9e8b67a1fF
0x7Fb21ac4Cd75d9De3E1c5D11D87bB904c01880fc
0x34FAAa028162C4d4E92DB6abfA236A8E90fF2FC3
Now that you've explored the blockchain with these, here's how you can bypass the DevFee without incurring a penalty or installing some malware if you don't think Claymore deserves this fee. It isn't for noobs, so don't ask me details if you don't understand. Pay the man and learn.
1. Don't try anything on your Windows box where Claymore runs. Claymore can detect local, 'private net' addresses (proxies), and can even detect if you 'spoof' a pool's public IP locally by examining the route or the network response times etc... Claymore will penalize you by introducing a several seconds delay between the time a share is found and the time it submitted to the pool. You'll get a decent hash rate still, but your stale shares will increase dramatically. It will also warn you about local pools.
2. Familiarize yourself with how a transparent 'Squid' HTTP proxy works on a NAT-router/gateway.
3. Set up the networking on your NAT-router/gateway similar for Squid, except you're not going to intercept port 80 HTTP traffic, but TCP traffic to port 4444. (Eg: ethermine's port)
4. Get familiar with a Unix program called 'netsed' - network stream editor. It's available only as source code, sorry noobs. Set it up to listen on the NAT-router/gateway port that you have redirected 4444 traffic to and have it send output to eu1.ethermine.org:4444 or whatever your pool is. You're going to want to have it substitute the addresses above with that of your own. Claymore will probably change these with each version, so you're on your own when that happens.
5. Set the default gateway on your miner box to the ip of the NAT-router. (Hint: virtual machines.)
6. If you've got a large farm, you might want to explore the source code of netsed, or other programs, to make your own version that can handle more connections and any future DevFee addresses Claymore might add.
7. I'm not going to help you. Don't ask.

Some guys are just mean here.. I know i'm a noob on this forums but cmon we gotta help each other out.. I asked if I should mod my bios and not one person answered me. Anyways I went ahead and did it glad I did and don't know why it took me a year lol.. most cards get me around 29-30 even one card does 31mhs... Now one set of cards gets to 31mhs but with tons of errors.. so i lowered clocks. overnight each card got around 30 errors is this bad? If I clock those cards lower I get MHS lowered then before modded.. Should I try another bios on those? Also if somebody could point me to a good modded vbios repository would be awesome thanks.
For my rig I am having a couple thousand errors in a day. I have 6 Sapphire Nitro+ RX580 total hash 185 Mh for solo mining with 800Watt from wall. System never crashes up to 48 hours. I always restarted system before that time, maybe it could run even further. So i think you can overclock your card a little bit further. Use HWinfo64, overclock each card seperately and if there are no huge number of error in couple minutes you can use that values safely. To complicate matters, it all depends on the type of RAM your cards have too, which is luck of the draw when you buy them. You'll get Hynix (best) 30-31Mh/s, Samsung (ok) 28-29Mh/s, or Micron (sucks) 28-29 Mh/s. My rig has five Sapphire Nitro+ RX480's and one Sapphire Nitro+ RX580 (to replace a dead RX480) The RX480's have Samsung ram. The RX580 has shitty Micron ram. You can, with some vendors cards but not all, flash a RX480 with a RX580 bios and get a slight (< 1 Mh/s) performance enhancement. I did this to simplify driver installation, all cards appear the same to Windows 10 and all use the same patched driver etc... I've got two custom BIOS images that I use, both derived from the stock 580 BIOS, but one has timings for Samsung RAM and the other Micron RAM. I'm running at about ~ 175Mh/s, 800W. (Not currently dual mining, not worth the extra 200W heat and wear/tear on the cards.) (There's the occasional dip to ~ 165Mh/s which I'm currently troubleshooting but may be clock, voltage or fan related.) Stale shares from the pool are always less than %5. I get no reject shares, no claymore GPU errors, and VERY FEW HWinFO64 errors. (Most cards are 0, one is 10 to 20, and one gets about 40 a day.) |

This driver is legit.
I run 6x RX480 Sapphire Nitro+OC 8GB cards. I get about an 8 Mh/s increase with it, from under 160 Mh/s to 168 Mh/s, dual mining with Claymore ETH and Siacoin.
I run a custom bios on all of them that has the 1750 timing straps copied to the 2000 and set the CPU downclocked to 1125Mhz.
I use a monitor emulator dongle and WattTool to drop the voltage -16 (100mv) and currently run the cards at 2070 Mhz.
I was previously only able to get 2050 Mhz before stability issues occured (daily hangs or reboots.)
Total power consumption as monitored by HWinfo/Corsair AX1200i is about 1000 Watts, so no increase in power draw.
HWInfo GPU memory errors are minimal and within acceptable range.
Wattool not working with these drivers, and probably won't work anymore even with official AMD drivers, if they leave the ADL as it is now on this beta. Wattool is not updated anymore, a long time ago. Ah you're right, WattTool won't adjust the memory clocks, but it will still downvolt it so it is still useful. Without it, my rig runs at 1200W. I just made new bioses with the memory clock hardcoded & reflashed, and I'm getting 171 Mh/s now. As another poster said, perhaps this tool will work in the future, but it does not seem to work for me now (and it can't set voltages.) http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=416116 |

Rig: 6xRX480 Sapphire Nitro +OC 8GB, Windows 10. I use HWINFO64 to inspect the memory errors reported by each card, and so should you. The rig has been mostly stable 175-180Mh/s for the last six months or so using Jukebox v4.rom bios on most and vdrop+.rom on one. Recently I have had to lower the memory overclock and bump up the voltage 6.25mv on all my cards since Epoch #130. (WattTool -16 to -15) I think what is happening is we're using more of the RAM in the new epochs so the bleeding-edge overclock that was stable before no longer isn't. So since these changes we're stable again, but with 168Mh/s instead of 178Mh/s.  |

Why does Claymore remove my first pool in epools.txt? POOL: us1.ethermine.org:4444, WALLET: 0xxxx.worker1, PSW: x, ESM: 1, ALLPOOLS: 0

Hi,
Today when I started dual mining (ETH+DCR) on my Asus RX580 STRIX 8GB (Samsung memory) after few minutes computer hangs up?
I don't undervolt - I've only copied 1750 straps to 2000.
When I mine solo only ETH it works just fine - tested for 24h without any problem.
Any clues?
Oh... I'm on Crimson 17.5.2 Beta drivers.
A couple of things you can do (one at a time. don't change two things at once.) 1. Try adjusting the -dcri value from its default of 30 to say, 15, and start from there. (-/+ on the keyboard as it's mining.) 2. Undervolt with WattTool -100mV 3. Lower the GPU processor speed to something like 1150 or 1125. (edit bios) 4. Put the 2000 straps back and try to make memory faster by overclocking it instead. How'd you get those drivers to work with the modified bios? |

So I was playing around with Jukebox's ROM for Sapphire RX480 Nitro+OC 8GB
One of my video cards won't take the v4.rom (2150Mhz / 1750 straps) because it has shitty memory. (Even though GPU-Z says it has a quality ASIC, go figure...)
It wouldn't even reliably run the runner up: vdrop+.rom which is 2080Mhz / 1625 straps. (I think.)
The v4.rom showed failure right away, 0.000 Mh/s and crash.
The vdrop+.rom would start off fine, then slowly degrade to 26Mh/s and result in OpenCL GPU errors after about 30 minutes or less. Many reboots.
(I only achieved stability by WattTooling it down to stock 2000Mhz on boot before running Claymore.)
So after experimenting made my own version of the vdrop+.rom which works well as a third option for dumb cards.
All I did was modify the existing one from 2080Mhz to 2050Mhz and drop the memory voltage from 1000mv to 900mV.
This got me at least a 1.5Mh/s gain on the dumb card, it used to read 27.5 - 28.1Mh/s max, now it reaches 29.1Mh/s, very rarely touching 28Mh/s.
The whole rig is doing a total of 178-179 Mh/s-ish (I really wanted 180 damn) but I'll take it.
SC mining is also running at 2980 to 3030 Mh/s with %0.4 rejected shares which I attribute to the nicehash pool latency/design. (-dcri 17)

Hmm, I've been playing around with version 9.4.
Should my GPU (RX570 4GB) have poor ETH hashrate (19-22) and get better as I undervolt? That seems backwards. Normally you have to jack powerlimit or give +vcore to stabilize clockspeed under utilization. Is this expected behavior?
At stock, 1.00v vcore and 1246mhz core, 2000mhz mem @ 1500 straps: 24MH
At undervolted / underclocked, 0.806 vcore, 1100mhz core, 2000mhz mem @ 1500 straps: 29MH.
I've played around with the powerlimit settings, different undervolts at different pstates. I can't quite see the pattern as to why this miner performs better the more I reduce power.
Does anyone have an idea?
I hear the RX5xx series is a lot like the RX480. You can even put a 580 bios on a 480 if you dare. thread on techpowerup So... you could try to emulate what the Jukebox v4 RX480 bios does and make your own 570 version. That is: 1. Increase Max Power Limit by 5W 2. Set 1150mhz core clock. 3. 2150 MhZ memory clock @ 900mV, 1750 straps to 2000. 4. WattTool to drop voltage -100mV ("-16" in the gui.) If that is unstable, drop memory clock to 2130 MhZ and try again. What's probably happening when you undervolt is that the card runs cooler and makes less errors resulting in faster reported rate. 1500 straps are probably unstable @2150mhz as they are on the RX480. YMMV. You may have a shitty card. |

Hello,
I'm trying to dualmine Ethereum and Siacoin on my GTX 970. It seems to work on the Siacoin side of things, and according to the output it also mines Ethereum, but my Ethereum pool does not see my worker. I let it run for quite some time but it does not show up.
Here is my start.bash configuration:
./ethdcrminer64 -epool stratum+tcp://eu.alpereum.ch:3002 -ewal 0xD69af2A796A737A103F12d2f0BCC563a13900E6F -epsw x -eworker rig1 -dpool stratum+tcp://sia-eu1.nanopool.org:7777 -dwal 5c7fb8123b35f1bb82d5123598c9b13ee9408f6b39c0b6ffba05038800ce156db9743becd18a/rig1/my@email.com -dpsw x -dcoin sia -allpools 1
.
.
.
Try: -dcoin sc |
|
|

I am successfully mining ETH to ethmine and SC to nicehash's new pool. Note that I had to specify -dcri 17 to get the ETH mining back up to speed (176Mh/s) YMMV, but the default of 30 is too high for me. Current SC rate is about 3000M/s.

I resolved my issues. Here's current stats, last 12 hours running: 10:08:12:934 17e8 ETH - Total Speed: 176.063 Mh/s, Total Shares: 1815, Rejected: 0, Time: 12:21

What happened, how I did it: First off, I switched mining pools to ethermine. 55ms ping. Nicehash has 100ms ping from my location. This all but eliminated my rejected eth shares. I still mine Decred to nicehash and get rejected shares, but I don't care, will be switching to SIA soon. Even so, GPU1 (Jukebox vdrop+.rom) was still being a bit of a pain, causing weird issues getting the temperature and fan speed (from all the cards) hanging OpenGL and rebooting: 21:00:20:311 15fc Cannot get Overdrive capabilities for adapter 0

If you really wanted to be sure you could make separate flashes with speeds at 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 MhZ or whatever for each card respectively. )

Hi, I'm running a dual miner Claymore v9.3 rig with 6x Sapphire RX480 Nitro+OC 8GB cards (11260-01-20G) - Samsung Memory Power supply is a Corsair ATX 1200i.

(GPU1) (These ROMS appear to overclock the memory and/or tighten the timings while reducing the CPU clock. vdrop+.rom is slightly more slower/conservative.) I use WattTool-.92 to drop the voltage on all of them by 100mv The Driver is 16.12.1 (patched to pass driver signature checks.) Power from the wall is about 1050W and card temperatures are around 63C. The rig is stable in that it does not hang or crash, Claymore is setup to reboot the machine on error, and it'll run all day like a champ: ETH - Total Speed: 175.402 Mh/s, Total Shares: 1879, Rejected: 109, Time: 08:14

Is such a high rejection rate normal? That's about a %5 reject rate for ETH and %2 for DCR. |

@supertux1
I did nearly the same as you. use v4 for all cards and and lower the power consumption with watttool.
I use the pool ethermine.org and at least clay 9.3 reports 0 rejected. For dcr i am on suprnova with ca. 1.5 % rejected shares.
Yeah just one of my cards can't take v4 for whatever reason and I verified it stand-alone being the only card in the system, fan %100 and no volt drop to eliminate heat and lack of power as a cause - still fails. It takes the other bios just fine. (Lower quality RAM? Who knows.) I tried testing the miner with just one card and only mining ethereum to eliminate any power drop or dual mining interference as a cause and I still get quite a high percentage of rejected shares. (good cards and crappy card alike.) My next options are to try a different mining pool, try the stock bios, try the older non-patched driver, try without WattTool settings etc... I think what I might do if the simple fixes don't yield any results is to make my own bios. That would be taking stock (non-oc) bios which runs the CPU @ 1260Mhz and copying the just the ram timing from 1750 to 2000. Then I'll see if that's stable. If it is, I'll use WattTool to change everything else. FYI I used to run my main monitor off of the VGA port built into the motherboard, but I found that WattTool will not work unless a display is plugged into one of the cards. Sort of like how AMD Settings won't run unless one is hooked up. I think the driver does something to itself when it detects something. (That frustrated me to no end and paid like 75 cents a day in extra power costs till I figured it out.) I have ordered an HDMI dummy plug. |
