I would like to ask you a few questions to try to get to the reason you have good luck with stale shares with PM and I don't.
(If you don't mind )
How many GPU's do you have ?
Are they all AMD cards ?
Are you overclocking or are they stock settings ?
What is your hash rates ?
What intensity do you have them set ?
Thanks for any information. I would really like to get to the bottom of this.
I have a very cheap rig, it usually goes 12+ hours without a single stale share on Phoenix, get at least 1-4 stales every 2 hours on Claymore. 3x AMD rx 560 2gb MSI Aero - no additional power connectors needed PCIE Risers using 4-pin molex connectors Clockspeed 1181core/2130mem with MSI Afterburner, +25% power limit, no change to voltages, disable ULPS PBE one click bios modded Hash rates ~15.75 mh/s each, currently mining MUSIC on MiningPoolHub Phoenix 2.7c Intensity setting -mi 12 -gt 34 Generic Foxconn mobo (came with HP slimline desktop) Generic 420w PSU Athlon II X3 3.4 ghz underclocked to 1.3 ghz undervolted to 0.8v 4gb DDR3-1333 Windows 10 Home with Fall Creators Update virtual memory swap file 16gb using high performance power setting all OS visual effects disabled bcdedit: disabledynamictick No AMD Crimson Drivers 17.11.4 on Graphics Mode *Adrenalin drivers and Compute mode just make things worse for me, maybe because my cards only have 2gb vram? not sure why |

Guess I'm in the minority as I get less stale shares with Phoenix 2.7c vs. Claymore 11.5, so Phoenix is more profitable for me.
The only real advantage Claymore has for me is better hashrate stability if a re-connect is needed, if Phoenix is disconnected the hashrate becomes messed up after re-connect and a full system reboot is needed.

Why was the 10K minimum faucethub withdrawal removed?

The DAG epoch for musicoin changed from #72 to #73. It's getting bigger, online dag calculator says 2gb cards will only work on MUSIC until December.

Surprised that very few in this thread have discussed playing with the graphics tuning -gt
In all likelihood the default of 15 is not optimal for most cards, you guys are definitely leaving some hash on the table.

Tried Phoenix and tweaked it best I could for my rx560.
Adding -mi 11 and -gt 34 maxes out my hash, ~0.1 mh/s better on average than my best tweaked Claymore.
Best improvement over Claymore was that I could underclock my core significantly more, 40 Mhz lower without losing max hash. Max stable mem clock was the same. I get noticeably less stale shares with Phoenix which is also a nice benefit so I have switched from Claymore permanently.

Anyone else getting lots of socket errors/failover with Claymore today?
I've been mining Ethereum with Claymore 11.4 and for the past 20 hours (had to do a bit of maintenance on the rig) have had not a single error, it's running like clockwork. Back to normal today, problem yesterday was on my end, I have unreliable ISP  |

I switched from sgminer-gm 5.5.5 to xmr-stak 2.2.0 and tweaked amd.txt as suggested by @Vlizzjeffrey and I'm getting 1370 H/s out of (3) 2GB XFX RX 560 cards. That's exactly the same as with sgminer, but it seems a lot more stable. The specific problem I was having with sgminer is it would lock the rig up so bad it needed to be hard reset, usually, but not always, when I used the KVM switch to select it after it had been running awhile. Note that I am using the integrated GPU in the Celeron CPU for video, and not one of the mining cards, so this behavior was quite perplexing.
Do not use iGPU with AMD! Bad idead, it blocks OC settings, might be fixed with newer drivers, but it was big problem for most cards for mining. Only with Nvidia cards. Properly configured SGminer has a lot higher hashrate than XMR-STAK 2.2 even older XMR-STAK-AMD has higher hashrate than 2.2. I've compiled latest sources from XMR-STAK it's in my guide for download, it has slightly higher hashrate but still older AMD version is better, also it has lowered dev fee to 1%. Guys, which version is the old Stak with good results please ? For the moment I can't equal sgminer results (500+h/s with 2 threads) when I try stak with two threads too. I tried 2.2 , 2.0 and 1.1.0. I get approximatively the same hashrate with all the stak versions I tried (460h/s), but still less than sg miner. I guess I missed the righ stak version. Anyone reaching good number with Stak could tell me which version he use ? Thanks a lot! Your mem quality just isn't good enough, it comes down to luck. Most 2gb cards will have better hashrate than 4gb. IMO the only benefit to go with 4gb is if you want to mine old ethash coins with big DAG size. |

If anyone has any insight on this, been reading/searching for some time and cannot figure it out:
Have a single rig with 4x1050 TI and 1xRX 560 (yes, I'm small time - but sorry, already taken, ladies). Running v11.4 as 11.5 keeps locking the PC up completely. AMD drivers are 17.12.1. Mining in ETH only mode. Zero hardware errors on HWInfo and no BIOS/clock/voltage/power modifications on the AMD.
The AMD card is showing a hashrate of ~9.18 vs ~13.5 on all the Nvidia cards. Miner showing 0 rejected/incorrect shares after 24 hours of mining. AMD card has right at 50% of the average shares of the 4 Nvidias - on nanopool if that matters. Looking at the submissions from the logs and all the shares from the Nvidia cards are accepted within ~170ms, but the AMD are ~2200ms?
Trying to understand the variance on the AMD - if I go by the hash rate vs the Nvidias, it should be closer to 68% not 50%, and what is the deal with the shares taking so long to be accepted from this one card? Thanks
I have 560 and it gives me 14 m/hs with 1975 memory clock. My 560 2gb is doing 15.65 mh/s with 2131 mem clock, modded bios. Running Claymore 11.2 with -dcri 6 -ethi 10 |

I have a 2gb rx560 doing 15.75 mh/s on ethash.
Only mining MUSIC at the moment, is there any other ethash worth mining with 2gb card?

I'm still getting $0.002/24sats base claim.
I have a deposit history of 1m+ sats.

Country Tiers are usually like this for PTC sites:
Tier-1 is countries like United States/Canada/United Kingdom/Australia
Tier-2 is countries like France/Spain/Italy/Netherlands
Tier-3 and 4 is the rest of the world.
I know Faucets do have a similar advertising model to PTC sites.

|

Only getting half of previous claim values:  Asked another member from a tier-3 country like mine, he said his claim amounts have also been halved. Just curious, have tier-2 countries like from the Eurozone also been halved? Very sad about this, no benefit to use CoinPot over FaucetHub anymore  |

Claim amounts are now drastically reduced on all coinpot faucets  BonusBit average claim got halved from 36 satoshi to 18 and the Moon faucets seem to be halved now as well. Makes no sense at all, seeing as how all cryptos have decreased in value lately I thought claim amounts would increase as they usually do. I'm not seeing it. I just made a sweep through (I claim on an irregular schedule) and did not notice any decrease in the claim amount accrual rate. The claims just now are roughly equal to claims I made yesterday. BonusBitcoin's average claim (38) has not decreased since yesterday, either. Well I just checked again and all of my coinpot faucet claims are still halved. I'm in the Caribbean, so it's possible they've started to adjust claim value according to country tiers, was common with PTC sites back in the day. |

Yep, I've mined MUSIC with 2GB RX 560s. I'm getting 13 or 14 MH/s per card. Note that is either 13 or 14, not a range. I'm not sure why that is, especially since the same cards that are faster at Ethash are not the same ones that are faster at Cryptonight. Also, after Windoze did its latest mandatory-despite-being-disabled update the order of which cards are fastest changed for both algos. So, there definitely seems to be something weird going on with the driver (Adrenalin 18.2.2).
With my 2gb rx560's I get 15.5 MH/s on MUSIC and 534 H/s on ETN. My max mem clock is 2130 mhz on ethhash and 2166 on cryptonight, these cards are worthless on equihash they hit the wall at only 1900 mhz for 155 Sol/s. I've just stuck with the last Crimson driver 17.11.4 and don't bother with compute mode it doesn't help at all on 2gb cards. It seems MUSIC is slightly more profitable than ETN as I can mine 3x as many coins and MUSIC is priced at ~40% of ETN. |

MPH is the best and most trustworthy pool. I wasted time and got scammed by other ETN and MUSIC pools.

This is making me nuts, i keep getting this stupid error:
ATIKMPAG.SYS FAILURE.
sometimes i have to reboot my rig 3 times b4 i can get into the amd settings again, i tried different drivers, tried stuff i found on google regarding this issue, its so annoying.
Try signing out and then signing in instead of rebooting. Might work this way. Does your rig with 550's run continously on xrmstak without crashing for over 24 hours? Mine always crashes after couple of hours, about 5 hours. Is there a way too make the miner software restart every hour? This would really solve my problem. If you have 2gb card try NOT using blockchain drivers and NOT using compute mode on newer drivers. Those drivers/compute are fine for 4gb cards but I noticed they make 2gb cards more unstable especially with high oc. I'm still using the last Crimson 17.11.4 driver on graphics mode without any problems. You could try reducing intensity too. I backed down from 432 intensity to 424 for my gpu threads and gained stability without losing hash. Anyone tried mining MusicCoin? It seems 4gb cards are slightly better than 2gb in ethhash, even with small dag size coins. The 4gb rx560 does about 1.2 mh/s better than the 2gb even though the 2gb overclocks better. |

Still trying to push my cards to the limit, one of my 2gb hynix rx560 really lucked out in the silicon lottery, now got it doing ~537 H/s stable @1292/2175 mhz To hold this speed it needed a power limit increase to +35%, at 30% it would fluctuate and sometimes drop to 521 H/s. Great cryptonight miner this little beast  Wish AMD didn't suck at equihash, would have more viable coins to mine now. You should ask yourself if pushing extra ~25% watts in the gpu's is worth the 10% extra hashrate, or maybe you dont have to pay for your electric, then its different ofcourse. I tried to run all my rx550's at 900mV, but i got early crash, trying 975mV now. Just did some more extensive testing of every single mhz on the card and I get the most consistent hash at 1292/2166 mhz. It does 534 H/s with no fluctuation at all. Going higher than 2166 on the mem is not worth it, it goes as high as 545 H/s but always fluctuates to a low of 514 H/s. My msi rx560 card does not require additional power connector. Draws ~50W, stock cooler on msi is big and does nice job, temp is 65C max (not horrible as I live in South Florida) and the mem gets plenty of airflow from shroud design. Got the card in January for 119 usd, best value I ever got from gpu. Found the ceiling on hash rate, next is working on reducing power usage, will test with lower core clocks. |
