THE SECONDARY COINS HAVE DIFFERENT ALGORITHMS--
Each algorithm will place a different workload on the GPU. I mined Siacoin with Claymore when it was a new coin, and earned about 10% more than just single-mining ETH. That kind of return is no longer possible. Also, I think one of my R9 280X cards burned out as a result of dual-mining.
When dual-mining, you will need to play with the mining intensity for both the primary and secondary coins. Some secondary coins/algorithms will tax the GPU to a greater extent, as you have discovered. The "dcri" value will need to be adjusted. --scryptr
thanks! I gave up mining SCC. if it was SIA it was something else, but now I'm back to DCR, which doesn't affect the ETH hashrate. any chance to recover the SCC sent to a SIA wallet? |

hi everyone, I have 2 question regarding dual mining - if there is anyone able to help me, I'd be grateful. I'm using 7x rx580 8gb GPUs to mine ETH + Sia (just started on Sia, mined DCR until now). However, it seems these GPUs are not supported to mine SIA, but other Sia coins (classic, etc). is that how it should be? Important: Miners not compatible with Sia's hardfork (currently, this means all non-Obelisk ASICs and most GPU miners, with the exception of Marlin 1.1.0 and newer) trying to mine Sia may be automatically redirected to the SiaClassic pool so that their work doesn't go wasted (check here).
If your miner is not compatible with the hardfork, you should connect to one of the following ports: 3344 (Hyperspace), 3355 (SiaClassic), 3366 (SiaPrime). More info here. 2nd problem is about ETH hashrate, which dropped from about 200mhz/s (while mining DCR) to about 164mhz/s (while mining SIA). it looks like a big drop, is there something I did wrong? EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethermine.org:4444 -esm 1 -ewal *mywal* -epsw x -dpool eu.siamining.com:7777 -dwal *mywal* -dcoin sia -allpools 1 -y 1 thanks in advance for your answers. anyone able to help me with this, please? On your first question - answer is yes. On second - if you dual mine that heats cards much, wastes lot of energy. So the hashrate for eth falls. No sense to dual mine. Forget it for now. thanks for your answers. regarding the first point, I do have a problem now, if I can call it so - I was hoping to mine Sia, so I used a Sia wallet - the transfer of SCC was made to that wallet address, but coins never arrived, as the trading site I have the wallet on doesn't trade SCC. If I create another wallet, SCC this time, is there any chance to get the coins back? as for the 2nd point, my perplexity was why hashrate for ETH falls only when mining sia? because while mining DCR, the hashrate stays the same .. thank you! |
