Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v15.0 (Windows/Linux)

[kirptc]

I have a biostar TB250 BTC MB and 6 Aorus RX580 GPUs.  I am running 17.5.2 drivers on Windows 10 pro.  Windows will recognize all 6 cards.  Claymore 9.4 will start with 4 cards, but when there are 5 or 6 it will not get past the initializing OpenCL.

Any idea what is causing this?  I have a work trip this week and would like to get this fixed before I leave for it.

I will pay a consulting fee if someone can help me.  PM me for details.

Thanks

Why does Claymore remove my first pool in epools.txt?

Code:

POOL: us1.ethermine.org:4444, WALLET: 0xxxx.worker1, PSW: x, ESM: 1, ALLPOOLS: 0
POOL: us2.ethermine.org:4444, WALLET: 0xxxx.worker1, PSW: x, ESM: 1, ALLPOOLS: 0
POOL: eu1.ethermine.org:4444, WALLET: 0xxxx.worker1, PSW: x, ESM: 1, ALLPOOLS: 0
POOL: eu2.ethermine.org:4444, WALLET: 0xxxx.worker1, PSW: x, ESM: 1, ALLPOOLS: 0

Code:

20:53:38:264	1744	Pool us1.ethermine.org removed from the list
20:53:38:264	1744	ETH: 3 pools are specified
20:53:38:264	1744	Main Ethereum pool is us2.ethermine.org:4444
20:53:38:264	1744	SC: 5 pools are specified
20:53:38:264	1744	Main Siacoin pool is sia-us-west1.nanopool.org:7777

Here's how I fooled it:

Code:

POOL: us1.ethermine.org:4444, WALLET: 0xxxx.worker1, PSW: x, ESM: 1, ALLPOOLS: 0
POOL: us1.ethermine.org:4444, WALLET: 0xxxx.worker1, PSW: x, ESM: 1, ALLPOOLS: 0
POOL: us2.ethermine.org:4444, WALLET: 0xxxx.worker1, PSW: x, ESM: 1, ALLPOOLS: 0
POOL: eu1.ethermine.org:4444, WALLET: 0xxxx.worker1, PSW: x, ESM: 1, ALLPOOLS: 0
POOL: eu2.ethermine.org:4444, WALLET: 0xxxx.worker1, PSW: x, ESM: 1, ALLPOOLS: 0

Hey guys newb here researching mining and cryptos lately. Question about a dual-miner like this; Since PoS is coming soon, will this mining software (or similar) be changed to replace the Eth part of the mining with another coin? That way mining rigs can retain more value after PoS. Thanks.

Claymore,

There's a bug in the Monitor.  Rig profiles get screwed up when font is changed...at least I think that's what's doing it.  It blows away some of the rig sets.  Other times it doesn't save the window frame and set.   Buggy.

Can we get a fix soon?

Thx.

@Claymore
I have several cards RX460 on 15.1 Mh. Enable support ASM algoritm  for 460, please

@Claymore

Yes, it would be great. I was talking about it with Claymore about 1.5 month ago, but it seems the support for RX460 is still not there. And what about RX 560?

BTW: how did you achieve 15Mhs from it??

[Bob_chemist]

Claymore,

can you add a small feature to Monitor, please: the time how long rig stays offline (red).
It will be very useful

Hello everyone. I have a problem with one of my rigs.

I get the ""WATCHDOG: GPU 0 hangs in OpenCL call, exit" problem after about 20-60 min running the claymore miner. It started tough with that my miner was loosing internet connection after running a while. When i fixed that by installing new network adapter drivers, the connection was stable but the GPU´s started to give 0.00 mh´s after a while, until getting the error message.

I did overclock the rig in the beggining, but i have reseted the MSI afterburner settings to default and i also did a bios mod, but i flashed the cards back to the original bios. I also dont think that the bios mod was the problem, because i have 3 more rigs with rx 470 with the same mod, and they all work great.

Specs:
Intel Celeron G1840 Processor
Asrock H81 Pro BTC motherboard
6x AMD Radeon RX 470 4GB
4GB DDR3 Memory
60GB SDD Harddisk
1000W Gold power supply
Windows 10 operating system

I have already tried to:
- Run the miner with the gser and eser commands and have also tried both dual and solo mining(both have same problems).
- fresh install of both operating system and Gpu drivers (first gpu drivers with DDU and after that operating system).
- Checked every riser, but they all work on a diffrent system so thats not the problem.
- Setting virtual memory to atleast 16000
- Tried old claymore miners, from 6.3 and up, same problem.

I dont really know what to do at this point, would really appreciate help if someone knows what might be causing this.

leave 1 card only, remove other cards a mine for 2 hours. If the miner does not crash replace the card and repeat the test. If you do not find a "faulty card" by trying all 6 then start adding cards - two for 2 hours, 3 for 2 hours, 4 for 2 hours, 5 for 2 hours and finally 6. Post the results of these tests here.

372.54 worked perfectly for me, but I'm on win7, so might be that.

I thought on Win 7 there wouldn't be any hash rate issues at all.

Oh man...
Somehow I get the impression that it's running for 90% of the Win 10 users by now
and for some it "just" doesn't work. But there MUST be a reason!

edit:
- Used driver 368.81 (as proposed by Claymore's miner)  - still 3 Mh/s.
- Using the Cuda 6.5 version also didn't help

Hi,

I have a problem with a rig.
Yesterday I removed an older R9 card. Now there are only 4 x RX480s in the rig.
When I started the rig, it started-stoped-started-stoped-started but no screen, no beeps, nothing.
I removed all unnecessary things (so only cpu and mem is on the motherboard) and stil the same!
The mainboard is an Asrock btc pro.
CPU is an intel G1840
Ii tried a couple of different memory.
Power supply is an EVGA 1600 G2.

Any ideas?

regards,
eric

First I would reset the CMOS.

First thing I would check is to see if Win10 changing virtual mem settings during an update(which I see you checked), or updated the drivers. Both things are on the same pop up. After checking virtual mem on the advance tab, click on the hardware tab and tell winblows to not update drivers. Winblows will update drivers as it boots. Also what are the card temps when they shut down or start spitting out opencl errors?

i 've tried that!
But no luck!!!

[Xardas2014]

havent seen this answer yet, hoping for quick clarification.

I have 3 rx 480s and, newly acquired, for ethereum mining with Claymore's. I am trying to find a way to write bat files that lets me game on the top 2 480s while 24/7 mining with the 3rd card. Essentially I need crossfire to ignore the 3rd card so it can mine without screwing up my gaming. I am on windows 7 64-bit

When I'm not gaming ill mine with all 3 480s.

Is anyone able to help with this conundrum? Seems like it should be simple but I can't figure it out. Thanks in advance.

First page RTFM. You can turn on cards ON in your .bat OR you can turn cards on/off during mining. Either would work, but turning a card on/off would be simpler and prevent restarting Claymore.

Ok next I would try getting the board to boot to the bios.........nothing connected like you did before, except this time try only one stick of mem you dam sure is good. Try it in each slot to see if you can get to the bios. Don't forget to disconnect the drive your OS is on.

Hello i'm trying to set clocks and voltages settings by claymore options:
this is a sample .bat file
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu.alpereum.ch:4002 -ewal mywallet.clf-02 -asm 2 -di 0123456 -altnum 1 -tstop 85,85,85,85,85,85,85 -tt 65,65,65,65,65,65,65 -fanmin 60,60,60,60,60,60,60 -fanmax 100,100,100,100,100,100,100 -cclock 1126,1150,1150,1126,1126,1150,1150 -mclock 2050,2000,2000,2000,2000,2000,2000 -cvddc 950,950,950,950,900,950,950 -mvddc 950,950,950,950,950,950,950

this for example set mclock 2050 to clay gpu3
where i'm wrong
i'm monitoring all my gpu with gpuz. I have some problems with gpu index. Sometimes the correspondence between software index and claymore index changes so my settings will be set to different gpu.
Any idea
Thanks

I did all that.
just motherboard, CPU and 1 stick of good mem. (no HD, no GPU, no nothing...)
Still the same!

I need more info how to reproduce the issue. Step-by-step guide please. Also what Windows version?

Ok, it will be added in next update.

[thaelin]

@Claymore:
   Was wondering if there is a way to shut off all the output to the terminal except blue and green lines. aka speed and share found lines. I leave Afterburner up and running all the time so to monitor the stats on each card.    Thanks

[coinzoid]

If someone that has used both 9.3 and 9.4, can you compare both releases  I've been using v9.3 and I'm looking forward to switch my rig to 9.4 if it is stable.

Thanks.
