Long story short Windows was giving me trouble lately, so I switched to Hive OS (Linux). Got Phoenix 3.5d working perfectly. Noticed on my pool that I wasn't mining anymore more but my rig was still drawing the same amount of power. Checked the monitor and saw that Phoenix was stuck in the DevFee. Tried it again a few days ago and it did the same thing. So I am back using Claymore. Any ideas on how to fix this on my end or is it a known bug that is being worked on? Love Phoenix but can't mine solely for the Devs

I use Google Remote Desktop. Not full of features. But you can view your rigs screen, adjust settings and restart it.

Had two questions. One regarding Asus Strix Cards and one about dual mining.

My rig is 4 Gigabyte RX480's, 2 Asus Strix RX480's, Windows 10, Blockchain Drivers, MSI Afterburner, Uber mix 3.1 Timing Straps, Samsung memory on all cards.

My 1st Strix card has the following settings. 0 , 50% power boost, 1190 CPU, 2015 GPU. Runs at 29.6 Mhs. If I put the GPU speed up any higher it starts at a higher speed, but slowly loses hashrate. Not a huge deal to leave it at 2015, but wondering if anyone has seen this behavior.

My other Strix card is the bastard child. (The original card was RMA'd to Asus and they replaced it with this one) All of my other cards run 100% stable for days. But this one card is just not stable at all. Here are the current settings. 0, 0, 1250 CPU, 1975 GPU. I've tried underclocking this thing on just about every setting. It may run for a day, 3 days, 1 hour, Open CL fail on start up. But lately it has been going less than 6 hours on average and I am having to restart my rig multiple times a day.

It just baffles me that something can run solid for 3 days straight, then not load on start up, then run for 2 days, then have to be restarted 5 times and then run for an hour.

My only other thought is to flash the Bios to Uber mix 3.2 which is a little slower and see if that helps. Any other thoughts or does anyone have some experience with these cards?



2nd question. This is about the dual mining fee. My understanding is that the 2% fee while dual mining is for both Eth and Decred in my situation. That would mean that I am getting 98% of my Eth and 98% of my Decred profits. If that is the case it does not really seem worthwhile to lose an extra 1% of Eth profits to dual mine. Please don't think I am complaining about the fee. Claymore program is fabulous and he can charge whatever he wants. Just want to make sure that it makes sense financially. I'm almost 100 sure that Sia, Pasc and Lbry are not profitable to dual mine right now. Decred seems the most profitable. Just wondering what you guys are all doing? Worth it to dual mine right now?

So my 6 Rx480 rig is up and running on 9.8, blockchain drivers and the beta beta version of Afterburner that allows changes in clock speeds. 2 of My asus cards are only stable  on -90, 1170 and 2015 speeds (29.5 Mhs). But my Gigabyte cards can go higher (30.5 Mhs) on more aggressive settings.

So should I just set the clock speeds individually in Afterburner, or should I try setting them individually in Claymore.

Does one trump the other in priority. Does AB override Claymore or Vice Versa?

For undervolting in Claymore. My AB setting is -90. What would this translate to in Claymore?

I'd try it again. But this is the third time I have tried to install newer drivers with the same results. It's almost like DDU is missing some file that needs to be replaced in order for the drivers to work properly. Unfortunately I will most likely be reinstalling windows this weekend

Hoping someone has an easier solution then reinstalling windows 10.

6 RX480 Rig (2 Asus, 4 Gigabyte), Windows 10 64, Claymore 9.8, Modded Bios, 100% stable dual mining Eth & Sia, 16.9.2 Drivers.

When I install any new drivers including the blockchain one just released (Not the shifty one) My cards take 16 seconds instead 4 to load the dag and all hash at 4 mhs instead of 28.3. Crossfire is off, ULPS is disabled. Had the same issue with the 17.2 drivers.

Have 20 Gb of space for Claymore, Windows doesn't update because I never activated it.

Here is the process I am using to install the new drivers.

Run DDU in safe mode (DDU restarts the computer), Install drivers, Restart, Run Pixel Patch, Restart, open Afterburner, Open Claymore 9.8.

Just reinstalled the 16.9.2 drivers and my rig is mining away at 169 Mhs. Did the exact same process as listed above.

Am I missing a step? Anything else to try? Do I need to just start over and reinstall windows?

Thanks for you help in advance
