There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

MSI RX + Hynix ram = 5 weeks and counting RMA for me. MSI sucks balls.
yup. been 3 like weeks for my msi hynix 470 gaming x rma so far.. Same here.. for Sapphire cards too. I asked the distributor and said that this is the normal procedure at every manufacturer.. so I shouldn't burn the cards because I need to wait more than 1 month to get a new card.  |

Hello.
Question to creator.
Is there any possibility to make each gpu in multi gpu system run own copy of miner?
Example: 5 gpu rig runs 5 copys of miner, so pool will see 5 workers.
Hi, Of course. You can set the "-di" parameter, for example: -di 0 means that only GPU 0 will work with that miner. |

Hi All. I am a newbie and have been mining for about 3 weeks. I'm using Claymore v9.3 on Windows 10 64 Bit. My issue is that if I put any sort of stress on the machine at all, It crashes. And it is consistently "GPU 3 hangs in opencl" that causes the crash. What I mean by stress is if I try to dual mine anything, increase the difficulty setting, or overclock the GPU's.
I have 6 XFX RX 480 8gb Black Edition cards. I have modded the BIOS on all 6 cards copying the 1750 timing strap to the 2000. I am using the Crimson 16.12.2 video drivers. The most stable setup I have is when the difficulty is set to 8 on cards 0,1,2,4,5 and 7 on card 3. Using MSI Afterburner I set the voltage to 0, the core clock to 1,100 and the memory clock at 2,000. The fans on all 6 cards is set to 85%.
With all the above settings I am getting aproximately 27.7 mh/s from each card and a total of 166 mh/s. It takes approximately 14 hours to mine .1 ether using ethermine.
I would really like to dual mine and/or get my cards up to 30 mh/s but like I said, anything I try causes GPU3 to hang and restarts the machine.
As for the rig, It is open air with a HP 1200 watt power supply for the six cards and a Thermaltake 850 watt power supply for the mother board and PCI Risers. Riser 1 and 2 are powered by daisy chain 6 pin cable, as are risers 3 and 4. (2 cables, 2 plugs each). Risers 5 and 6 are powered by 6 pin to SATA adapters connected to a SATA daisy chain cable.
Any theories why I can't push this setup any further?
Thank you for reading.
Brian
I have had the same issues many a time, and it is almost always a function of memory voltage on the card. Try running -ethi 4 on that card, you won't loose much on the hash rate but it will lower the load. Do that before you do anything else because that may solve it. Also, if you are undervolting the mem clock, then you need to raise it back up. However, if you are not undervolting the memory voltage, then lower the mem clock speed until the GPU is stable. Focus on the memory voltage and clock speed and you will find a spot that will resolve this. It is fairly easy to solve but takes some trial and error. My experience is that it is almost never the PCI riser (I have had one go bad out of 200 over the past 6 months) and almost always voltage/clock speed issue. |

No jobs, just sits there... http://imgur.com/a/DOaplAnyone able to help? I am getting the same error... How to fix this? I encountered this last night as well after a Windows update. Not sure how to fix it, but what I did was download a new version of the miner and copied over my start.bat file. I then stripped out all of my mod'd parameters that I use in the miner so it was just my cards and nothing else starting up and rebooted the machine a couple of times and "poof", started working. The "poof" was the magic part because I still don't know why I wouldn't work in the first place. Once it started up I went back in and applied all my modifications. |

I just wanna know what is causing this OpenCL hangs. If it is something recoverable, than ok, if it's not, than sell it is the way. But what about when the new card will do the same? Again, I need to know the reason for theese hangs.
if its always the same card make sure you have it on the original vbios and run stock clocks. if its on a riser change the riser. inspect the pcie power connectors, they may be loose or otherwise not delivering power reliably. reseat the card in the slot/riser. set the fans on that card to max. Thanks, but I've tried that all already. Temps 59C does not need max fan rpm. I think it is something driver related. I use 16.11.5 beta for all mu 470/480s. Today this card was not listed on device manager as driver loaded, strange, after of 12 hours of mining  You are using the right drivers, and it is more likely a mem voltage issue. Either raise your mem voltage, or lower you mem clock speed. Also running the miner at an ethi of 4 instead of 8 will bring stability. |

What the hell is this?
ETH: Received error: {"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":4,"error":{"code":-32700,"message":"Worknotfound"}}
Miner is running ok 14 hours, but I saw this red line error 2 times in last minute. Miner continues running well after this.

Hey everybody !
After countless hours of research, and obviously reading a lot about AMD cards Ether mining crown, I decided to do full Nvidia for a first 6xGPUs dedicated rig. I figured out that even if the hashrate is a bit lower than with RX 4XX cards on ETH, it also offers more possibilities on other cryptos. We don't want to forget that ETH is announced to go POS since last year. Plus, on the power consumption side, no battle here, Nvidia holds the 1st place by far.
I read as much as I could of this very thread, and checked the results on whattomine.com, but I'm still wondering what hashrates Nvidia users actually get in the real world, out of the theoritical field.
I'm already mining ETH+LBC with 2 GTX970 [41MHs/64MHs], for it happened to be the most valuable combo so far, but I doubt these results are accurate for a proper upgrade to GTX1070.
I also would like to ask what GTX1070 brand/model you're using, and eventually why. I'm looking for a good average between performance and longevity. With proper maintenance, I plan to get these working for at least 2 years time [Reboot and dust-off every week + full cleaning and basic maintenance every other month + full check and fan greasing twice a year]
I decided to buy GTX1070, but I've got a very nice opportunity for an EVGA GTX1080 SC, and was wondering as well, if people had performance feedback about this very GPU. As far as I can read, it seemed like 1080 weren't doing very good, and looked like it was because of a lack of optimisation [on top of the DDR5x issue]. Do you know if this has been fixed, or it will just be uncompatible at all ?
Cheers !
Try some high end R9's like the nano on a low epoch ETH alt like EXP. Nah, sorry, already made my mind up, and they won't be cheap R9's, but like I said, GTX1070. So besides that useful reply, anyone using Nvidia rigs ? Nvidia gpu are good for mining ZEC, not so good for ETH. Well, that might have been the case, like a year ago, but if you look at whattomine.com calculators, you'll easily figure out that : + GTX1070 GPUs ETH hashrates are close to RX480's + GTX1070 have a way better span of possibilities, with way better results + GTX1070 use like 30% less power for similar results 1070 ZEC hashrates are 450-ish, almost double than 480s. 1070 use 10% less power than 480 1070 is much more capable but need miners ( devs) ZEC + 6 x RX480 - 1740 sol/s @ 720W + 6 x GTX1070 - 2520 sol/s @ 720W ETH + 6x RX480 - 174 MH/s @ 810W + 6x GTX1070 - 171 MH/s @ 630W LBRY + 6x RX480 - 630 MH/s @ 1050W + 6x GTX1070 - 1650 MH/s @ 720W SIA + 6x RX480 - 6900 MH/s @ 12600W + 6x GTX1070 - 9600 MH/s @ 720W DCR + 6x RX480 - 11820 MH/s @ 1140W + 6x GTX1070 - 15000 MH/s @ 750W PASC + 6x RX480 - 42004 MH/s @ 810W + 6x GTX1070 - 5640 MH/s @ 720W [Source : whattomine.com] Except on ETH [-1.8%], GTX1070 hashes way more than RX480, for a much less power draw, like a lot less than 10%. Actually, even on ETH, considering the power consumption, GTX1070 is more profitable than RX480... As far as my experience goes, with my 2 x GTX970 tiny test rig, dual mining ETH + LBRY is the most profitable, when you get 10% less hashrate on ETH than solo mining [44MH/s solo - 40MH/s dual], and 50% less hashrate on LBRY than solo mining [-dcri 30 - of course, it goes up the more you increase dcri intensity, but draws more power too]. I used these stats to estimate dual mining on a 6 x GTX1070 [and maybe I'm wrong here, it may hash more than 50% on LBRY, but let's say it's a good base to have an insight], and here what I daily get at actual exchange rate and difficulty, and after electricity cost : ZEC - $14.99 LBRY - $15.38 ETH [-10%] + LBRY [-50%] - $21.97 Best results all together with 6 x RX480 at actual exchange rate and difficulty, and after electricity cost : ETH - $13.82 Either I'm missing a whole lot of information, here, either it is an emergency for whattomine.com to debug its calculators, either Nvidia just ruined it all... |

I am not creator but I did read the instructions he provided with the miner. You can do it: create 5 bat files, use -di key (-di 1 in the firts, -di 2 in the second and so one). You will get what you want. |

Hey guys i'm having a problem where my windows 10 won't recognize all the RAM, It was working all well, and i turned off the miner to clean up the GPUs after i put them back, I found out that the RAM is not fully recognized my windows, it says only 998MB utilizable out of 4GB, and i think this is why claymore is hanging, how can i fix this?

Very nice overview, thanks. But you forget, 1070 is much more expensive than RX... Let's say : RX480 - $240 // GTX1070 - $450 // KWh - $0.16 + RX480 ETH only - $67.26 / month / card after electricity cost -- ROI 3.5 months + GTX1070 ETH+LBRY - $119.00 / month / card / after electricity cost -- ROI 3.75 months Profits at the end of the year : + RX480 - $578 / card after ROI + GTX1070 - $998 / card after ROI I'll leave it to you to multiplicate that by the number of cards and the time you expect them working... I totally get that AMD GPUs were wearing the crown, makes no doubt about it, but like until 8 months ago. Now, Nvidia beats AMD by A LOT... |

edit: does someone have dual mining stats for a 1080 ti?
Not mine, just check whattomine.com Also interested in users stats for 1070 and 1080 |

Hey everybody !
After countless hours of research, and obviously reading a lot about AMD cards Ether mining crown, I decided to do full Nvidia for a first 6xGPUs dedicated rig. I figured out that even if the hashrate is a bit lower than with RX 4XX cards on ETH, it also offers more possibilities on other cryptos. We don't want to forget that ETH is announced to go POS since last year. Plus, on the power consumption side, no battle here, Nvidia holds the 1st place by far.
I read as much as I could of this very thread, and checked the results on whattomine.com, but I'm still wondering what hashrates Nvidia users actually get in the real world, out of the theoritical field.
I'm already mining ETH+LBC with 2 GTX970 [41MHs/64MHs], for it happened to be the most valuable combo so far, but I doubt these results are accurate for a proper upgrade to GTX1070.
I also would like to ask what GTX1070 brand/model you're using, and eventually why. I'm looking for a good average between performance and longevity. With proper maintenance, I plan to get these working for at least 2 years time [Reboot and dust-off every week + full cleaning and basic maintenance every other month + full check and fan greasing twice a year]
I decided to buy GTX1070, but I've got a very nice opportunity for an EVGA GTX1080 SC, and was wondering as well, if people had performance feedback about this very GPU. As far as I can read, it seemed like 1080 weren't doing very good, and looked like it was because of a lack of optimisation [on top of the DDR5x issue]. Do you know if this has been fixed, or it will just be uncompatible at all ?
Cheers !
Try some high end R9's like the nano on a low epoch ETH alt like EXP. Nah, sorry, already made my mind up, and they won't be cheap R9's, but like I said, GTX1070. So besides that useful reply, anyone using Nvidia rigs ? Nvidia gpu are good for mining ZEC, not so good for ETH. Well, that might have been the case, like a year ago, but if you look at whattomine.com calculators, you'll easily figure out that : + GTX1070 GPUs ETH hashrates are close to RX480's + GTX1070 have a way better span of possibilities, with way better results + GTX1070 use like 30% less power for similar results 1070 ZEC hashrates are 450-ish, almost double than 480s. 1070 use 10% less power than 480 1070 is much more capable but need miners ( devs) ZEC + 6 x RX480 - 1740 sol/s @ 720W + 6 x GTX1070 - 2520 sol/s @ 720W ETH + 6x RX480 - 174 MH/s @ 810W + 6x GTX1070 - 171 MH/s @ 630W LBRY + 6x RX480 - 630 MH/s @ 1050W + 6x GTX1070 - 1650 MH/s @ 720W SIA + 6x RX480 - 6900 MH/s @ 12600W + 6x GTX1070 - 9600 MH/s @ 720W DCR + 6x RX480 - 11820 MH/s @ 1140W + 6x GTX1070 - 15000 MH/s @ 750W PASC + 6x RX480 - 42004 MH/s @ 810W + 6x GTX1070 - 5640 MH/s @ 720W [Source : whattomine.com] Except on ETH [-1.8%], GTX1070 hashes way more than RX480, for a much less power draw, like a lot less than 10%. Actually, even on ETH, considering the power consumption, GTX1070 is more profitable than RX480... As far as my experience goes, with my 2 x GTX970 tiny test rig, dual mining ETH + LBRY is the most profitable, when you get 10% less hashrate on ETH than solo mining [44MH/s solo - 40MH/s dual], and 50% less hashrate on LBRY than solo mining [-dcri 30 - of course, it goes up the more you increase dcri intensity, but draws more power too]. I used these stats to estimate dual mining on a 6 x GTX1070 [and maybe I'm wrong here, it may hash more than 50% on LBRY, but let's say it's a good base to have an insight], and here what I daily get at actual exchange rate and difficulty, and after electricity cost : ZEC - $14.99 LBRY - $15.38 ETH [-10%] + LBRY [-50%] - $21.97 Best results all together with 6 x RX480 at actual exchange rate and difficulty, and after electricity cost : ETH - $13.82 Either I'm missing a whole lot of information, here, either it is an emergency for whattomine.com to debug its calculators, either Nvidia just ruined it all... Very nice overview, thanks. But you forget, 1070 is much more expensive than RX... Let's say : RX480 - $240 // GTX1070 - $450 // KWh - $0.16 + RX480 ETH only - $67.26 / month / card after electricity cost -- ROI 3.5 months + GTX1070 ETH+LBRY - $119.00 / month / card / after electricity cost -- ROI 3.75 months Profits at the end of the year : + RX480 - $578 / card after ROI + GTX1070 - $998 / card after ROI I'll leave it to you to multiplicate that by the number of cards and the time you expect them working... I totally get that AMD GPUs were wearing the crown, makes no doubt about it, but like until 8 months ago. Now, Nvidia beats AMD by A LOT... Great Analysis. I Love the Facts! I am also considering GTX 1070 / GTX 1080 / GTX 1080ti now! |

Youve wasted several pages on the forum with total carp i dont know where you get your figures from if its just straight from whattomine then you need to do proper research of what miners are actually getting from there cards,then at the very end you have the GTX1070 duel mining and the RX480 only mining eth really fair apples to melons |
