My 270x are loosing 1%-5% performance with this new version. The same for 7870 My 7950s are gaining 5% Final balance: Not worth the change, at least not with default settings. Tried -ethi -8192 but it was even worst. Maybe I'll try to run simultaneous instances; one for the 7950s another for the 270s I tested v2.0 and v3.0 on stock 270 and v3.0 is faster in both dual and non-dual modes: v2.0: mode -0 11.5MH, mode -1 12.8MH. v3.0: mode -0 13.2MH, mode -1 13.5MH. Probably you use not 15.12 drivers.

@Claymore:
What exactly is the effect of the "-etha" option on mixed rigs? I have a mix of 270x, 7870 and 7950. Are these all slow or are the 7950 "fast" for being Tahiti?
Or is it better to leave the miner in the default configuration to autodetect the optimal settings?
If you are in doubts, you can check both "-etha 0" and "-etha 1" on your cards and select the mode with best speed, it will not take a lot of time because you can see speed for every GPU. By default miner tries to select best mode but it can be wrong in some cases (if you have middle cards) because I don't have all possible cards for tests.

As far as I understand, Suprnova does not support Stratum for Ethereum. They mention Stratum on their help page, but all their addresses contain "http".

v3.0:
- improved Ethereum mining speed by 1-15% (depends on mining mode and card model, slower card - more speed improvement). - added "-etha" option to select Ethereum algorithm optimized for your cards. - added "-allcoins" option to support Ethereum forks mining. - miner checks all Ethereum shares before sending them to the pool. You will be warned if some GPU finds invalid share, usually due to overclocking. - miner disconnects from the pool if there are not any new jobs for a long time. - "-tt" option now can set target temperature for every card individually. - "-tt" option now can set static fan speeds. - fixed issue with -cclock and -mclock options. However, AMD blocked underclocking for some reason, you can overclock only. - option "-wd 1" is set by default now. - option "-ethi" for values less than "4" now sets very low GPU load to avoid any freezes in Windows. The most low GPU load is "-ethi 0". Also "-ethi" now can set intensity for every card individually. You can also specify negative values, for example, "-ethi -8192", it exactly means "global work size" value that is used in official miner. - Bug fixes.

Got a good speedup for weak cards for both eth and eth+dcr modes and a small speedup for fast cards, I will release next version of the miner with a lot of improvements within 24 hours.

Claymore, do you heard about Gapcoin ? It's some sort of similar like Primecoin for science.
I know that there is such coin, but I did not check any details.

@Claymore so far so good im quite happy 15h straight without major problems, keep up the good work only problem so far was crashing while i tried changing cclock and mclock(no matter if over or underclock), and not showing reported hashrate on ethermine.org only effective current hashrate is visible even after adding worker name and changing esm to 1 -tt works ok, after some time it stabilizes fans speed
"-esm 1" works, miner must write "qtminer mode" during start. Just wait some time (an hour) and pool will show info about shares. Check this topic a few pages ago there was same problem and it was solved.

problem in your miner. usual. everything is normal
You can check the log, pool sends the same header (job) for a long time: 23:01:14:327 16cc got 243 bytes 23:01:14:338 16cc buf: {"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":["0x56c1b889948349b145171845df85cbaae42e2052393518da6e68fe4c652a27f3","0x013d5197a3a035144a79e3e09dfec2505039ed176d81a0957e229886ddbee49b","0x00000000dbe6fecebdedd5beb573440e5a884d1b2fbf06fcce912adcb8d8422e"]} ...... 23:43:57:438 16cc got 243 bytes 23:43:57:451 16cc buf: {"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0","result":["0x56c1b889948349b145171845df85cbaae42e2052393518da6e68fe4c652a27f3","0x013d5197a3a035144a79e3e09dfec2505039ed176d81a0957e229886ddbee49b","0x00000000dbe6fecebdedd5beb573440e5a884d1b2fbf06fcce912adcb8d8422e"]} 42 minutes it sends the same job. Moreover, it accepts shares for this job all the time: 23:09:02:904 16cc got 36 bytes 23:09:02:912 16cc buf: {"id":4,"jsonrpc":"","result":true} 23:09:02:922 16cc parse packet: 36 23:09:02:940 16cc ETH: Share accepted! ..... 23:40:44:596 16cc send: {"id":4,"method":"eth_submitWork","params":["0x75e8cb19ab613cb4","0x56c1b889948349b145171845df85cbaae42e2052393518da6e68fe4c652a27f3","0xfc152e9f3155f53c75a270b7db26d6b63fec19c54318a49ec1513246cf14479e"]} 23:40:44:725 16cc got 36 bytes 23:40:44:728 16cc buf: {"id":4,"jsonrpc":"","result":true} 23:40:44:728 16cc parse packet: 36 23:40:44:737 16cc ETH: Share accepted! The problem is not in my miner. The only problem with my miner is that it should understand that entire pool (or at least its thread that serves you) hangs and disconnect, I will add it.

I get disconnects from nanopool right now so they are doing something with the pool. It seems I really need to add failover asap, probably I will add it in next update.

this is normal?

Looks like a pool hangs on some block. If the problem is in miner, pool must reject old shares, but it responds "accepted", so the problem is on pool's side. Anyway, PM me the log file, I will check it. I will also add check so if miner gets same job for a long time it disconnects from the pool because it hangs.

Why not release a solo ver if 2.0 working well ? Problems with devfee ? Problems with accepted blocks ? I don't get it. Solo is a real decentralization! Don't feed a Troll Pool, feed the dev I don't want to work with proxies, so the miner will work with ETH client directly, it will take some time to implement it. I will do it soon, but not today

Hey hey, Claymore! Do you intend to consider Polaris support for your miners given their purported low wattage / high performance? Yes, as soon as I can get Polaris here for tests

It is the thread of a different miner, it's a good idea to read topic's title before posting. Now, if you have downloaded the miner from original links in OP, it will never do such things. This command line works for me as expected and anyone can confirm it easily: NsCpuCNMiner64.exe -u 449TGay4WWJPwsXrWZfkMoPtDbJp8xoSzFuyjRt3iaM4bRHdzw4qoDu26FdcGx67BMDS1r2bnp7f5hF 6xdPWWrD3Q3Wf7G6 -p x -o stratum+tcp://mcn-bcn.pool.minergate.com:45650
1. Yep, my fault. But you didn't answer it original topic @ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=647251.0 so I found another one with your fresh messages. 2. I downloaded miner from YOUR original topic - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=647251.0 link was https://mega.co.nz/#F!Hg4g1bLT!4Upg8GNiEZYCaZ04XVh_yg 3. Something very very very strange is going on - if I type command text in CMD - it works as expected, but if I put the same text inside BAT file - DONT work, changed pool. So I'm lost I told about starting with ADMIN level, without admin credentials - slow mode, couldn't allocate memory. Again, original miner cannot change address and port. Check pools.txt, may be your pool there.

Claymore can you please add setting for static fan speed if its not too much trouble Ok.
|
|
|
I've checked ETH forks - they will be supported in next update.
|
|
|
@Claymore, did you manage to take a look in the -cclock and -mclock flags, why they dont work? At least not on 7950 and R9 380..?
Thanks!
In current version -cclock and -mclock don't work if you did not specify "-tt" parameter. I've fixed it already, will be applied in next update. However, AMD disabled underclocking for some reason, so you can overclock only. I remember it worked in Catalyst v13.x but AMD added this stupid limitation in v14.x drivers. Right now I cannot underclock cards even via Crimson control panel, only overclock, you can check it too.

Mr.Claymore, can we expect separate temp control for all cards in rig? Cause for example i have in one rig 270x and 290 and now 270x temp is never go more than 70, and 290 temp is still on 81. So, setting -tt 80 wil cause 270x fans to be continuously switched on and off. Thanx.
I will try to add it in next update.

I decided yesterday to try dual miner version 2.0. Launched only for ETH, on RU stratum DwarfPool. Half day miner worked normally, sending the balls even slightly larger and more stable than Genoil. I decided to leave for the night, in the morning and checked to see that the floor one night were rejections. How can this problem be solved. It lacks konekt check with the server and switching to another server when the dump. You can PM me the log with this problem, I will check it.

Claymore - any plans to add ETH clones support, such as soil, expanse etc?
Devfee is not a problem. It is something related to tech part. As far as I understand, you cannot mine these coins with ethminer from Ethereum, you have to use ethminer from Expanse, am I correct? You can mine any Dagger-Hashimoto coin with any ethminer (original or Genoil)... It doesn't work, tried both Dwarf and suprnova... just disconnects and trying to reconnect. Pls try it out: http://dwarfpool.com/expOk I'll check it.
|
|
|
I'm working on next update: - Further improvements related to DAG files, for example, even better stability when new epoch is coming, perhaps you already noticed that miner did not crash at new epoch #45 as official miner usually does. - Performance improvements for weak cards and Fury. - Checking shares on CPU and warn if GPU calculates them incorrectly (usually due to overclocking).
