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

[senseless]

Google says the file contains a virus! Looks like someone integrated claymore into some trojan software.
Anyway, I can't download the zip file..

Use MEGA link in OP. Some time ago I even got a message from a man who caught a virus that just starts my miner with "hacker's" wallet address and even does not disable the log file, so this man checked the log, googled a bit and found me on this forum. Then he registered here and told me via PM that he is angry and probably I'm the most stupid virus writer on this planet since I wrote my name in the log file and I can be so easily reached.
Well, I tried to explain the situation of course

Already done, Just wanted to make sure you were aware of the issue. Thanks for your continued work.

Claymore, One last thing...
How far is the implementation of "rig builder fee"? When I build a rig for someone, I want him mining some time for me - equivalent of your dev fee. It was asked about month ago in this forum...

It is still not implemented. I believe I already said that this feature can be easily used in wrong purpose, also it can be easily disabled, also it is not useful for most people, so I don't hurry to implement it. But the number of requests is growing, so may be it will be added anyway.

I'm building few rigs and I will be the only one, who will have acces to them to administer. So this "builder fee" would be great feature, because they don't want to spent big money on the beginning to pay my work and knowledge, they rather pay me using this fee. And I think a lot of people will appreciate it too. Thanks for your work.

I don't get it...can anyone give a proper solution?

The Watchdog issue is very frustrating and even if I disable the WD function it's not a solution the hasrates drops anyway.

For the last hole week (over 160h) I could mine without an issue but now its back again.
WATCHDOG HANGS IN OPENCL CALL, you need to restart the miner
WATCHDOG: GPU error, you need to restart your miner

https://s8.postimg.org/4q8rf336d/Watchdog_error.png

A "Restart" never work... I need to reboot my hole system and restart everything new...this can't be.


BTW I did no changes in Bios/OC/Windows/Hardware or anything else after the last week. Riser are also OK.
I've performed only a system restart because I wanted to plott my hard disk.

If I restart my system 10-20 times after that error occured (what can be after some minutes or even hours) it will work probably for a longer time...but this can't be the way.


Appriciate about any help.


@Claymore
Do you know what can cause that issue? Could you change something in the next miner version?
Hope something can be done... it's unbelievable frustrating.


Thanks in advance.

Hello. I had the same problem for about 3 days, but atleast got it resolved. What i did was i:
*Shut off the aero theme functions in windows 10 (if you use windows)
*Disconnected all the gpu¨s, used DDU to uninstall drivers in safe mode, then reinstall drivers by connecting the gpu´s one by one and installing one by one.
*Make sure you have not made any overclocking/undervolting in MSI afterburner.
*Set the commands -etha 0 ,-gser 2,  -r 0, -dcri 7 and -dbg 1 in the claymore run file.
*Reinstall operative system.
*Set virtual memory to atleast 16gb

The steps are not in order, but atleast one of this fixes solved it for me. I had the exact same problem with the computer freezing and so on, so try these steps if you have not already. If it does not work it probaly is faulty hardware :/

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.

Thanks for the answer, i managed to solve it. I did the tests and no hardware was faulty, acctually it seemed like there was some weird bug where msi afterburner would keep my overclocked settings and not going back to default even though set it to do so. Appreciate the help anyway, thanks

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?

The temps variate between 62-70 at most at all times. I did solve this issue tough, but thanks for the response, was a weird bug in msi afterburner that would not reset my overclocking properly Thanks anyway, peace!

@Claymore,

I've now been able to replicate the EthMan bug with as few as 3 miner entries, tested on both Win 7 x64 and Win 10 machines.

Freshly generated config file with three local IPs added, only one of which has a running miner. (ETH 9.4)
Leave open for 5-10min, crashes every time. (all miners shown as red/offline)

So... there just seems to be no way to use an GTX 970 properly for mining with Win 10 (1703).

after googling and testing for an entire day...

382.33 + CUDA 8.0: 3 MH/s
372.54 + CUDA 6.5: 9.5 MH/s (with P0)
347.52 + CUDA 6.5: 16.5 MH/s (driver won't allow P0 setting)

Try using Linux, that's what I use to avoid all that..

Exuse me for the stupid question, but how to set up the environmental variables in ubuntu?

[cashen]

I'm interested in getting my Remote Manager Ethman.exe working

When a rig drops below a given hash rate it executes a BAT file. Does it execute the bate file on the rig with the low hash rate or the the machine where ethman is running?

Do I run ethman on all my rigs?

Exuse me for the stupid question, but how to set up the environmental variables in ubuntu?

depend on the shell, but with bash,
export VAR=value

[AlainC]

About environnement variables, on ubuntu 16.04.2, with Claymore 9.4, amdgpu-pro-17.10-414273,
I enjoy those variables settings:

Code:

GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1
GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100

and ethdcrminer64 runs like a charm

if I put

Code:

GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0

as advised, it crashes with

Code:

segfault at 8 ip 00007f37c1d1ba0c sp 00007f37bdea7d10 error 4 in libamdocl64.so[7f37c161f000+3dfb000]

No problem, it works, but it may be interesting for beginner to know.

So I have just to tape on terminal

export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
and so on?

and than run the miner?

[Digggger]

Hey guys, a couple problems I haven't been able to solve. Not sure if it's a claymore issue or something else.

6 rx 570's with bios' modded. GPU0 overclocks as expected with Afterburner, 25MH/s with no OC... 27MH/s with a little overclocking and undervolting. All other GPU's are not affected by the overclocking but will undervolt. Yes the synchronize similar GPU's is on. I tried it with it off and overclocked each GPU on its own, same result...only GPU0 has a change in hash rates.

Same issue with my gaming pc with 2 rx480's...GPU0 hash rate changes but GPU1 is unchanged...GPU-Z confirms the memory clock is rising.

? I don't catch alll...
to run you can write a script... Claymore propose one (for ETH only here):

Code:

#!/bin/bash 
export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100

./ethdcrminer64 -epool eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal YOUR_WALLET/YOUR_WORKER/YOUR_EMAIL -epsw x -mode 1 -ftime 10

have also to edit config.txt, epools.txt (and dpools.txt if you dual mine)

how to edit the conf file?

Sorry again for the stupid question

[matttheazn]

Hi I am having trouble with setting a stop temperature and restarting the miner.  In my command line I have "-wd 1 -r 1 -tstop 90"  I have a reboot.bat(windows 10) file with a shutdown command in the same directory.  When I hit the bat it will shutdown the computer.  For testing purposes I am using -tstop 55.  It stops mining correctly but how to I get it to execute the reboot.bat file?   What am I doing wrong?    thanks

I had some weird issues on a rx 480 rigs thats seems a bit similar.
In the end it was reinstalling afterburner that fixed it .. never made any sense.



(Lucky you getting a hold of rx 5xx at all... im still waiting another week for my batch)
