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

[antonio2234]

Who is Clymore responsible here?? 

I am getting CUDA and DAG error.

will claymore miner have the boosted settings for nvidas??

Ok so I have 2 x gtx 970s and 2 x gtx 1060s. Windows 10 how can I possibly run all four at the same time? They use two different video drivers?

I'm a newb but to my knowledge you can't.  I started with a 970 and got it hashing 19 MH/s but was unable to use it and the 1070s I started buying.  I only have 10xx series cards in my windows machine now.  My Linux rig runs 1070s, 1060s and 1 970s all without any trouble however I cannot figure out how to overclock the 970 in Linux so its running around 18.5 MH/s.  But at least its running and I can control the fan speed.  The 10xx series cards all overclock via server-x settings without any problem

What are you using to overclock 10xx cards in Linux and what hash rate are you getting with that?  Are you putting things in xorg.conf that you can share or are you changing in the GUI nvidia-settings?  I changed in the GUI, but it didn't have any effect.  Or are you executing on the command line?

Still claymore has a DAG issue to solve that is not there in sgminer running on linux

Hi

I also have 2X1070 8GB and 1X 970 in my Rig.

the 2 1070 makes 29MH/s while the 970 only makes 2.3MH/s

Is there any solution? Windows 10 64bit, latest Nvidia driver. Claymore's 9.6

Thank You

I have the same issue , i also tried etherminer and it did hash very slow for GTX 970 , !

[wartimekillers]

Someone please help! When I try to mine with RX480, the miner crashes. A have 3 card - 2x270X and 1xRX480. If i try to mine with only 270X, there is no problem, but if I try to mine with all 3 or just with the polaris - the miner crashes. I post last rows from log file:

01:40:59:271   d20   Total cards: 3
01:40:59:287   d20   Initializing...

I don't know what happened, I was mining with RX480 for 1 day, but then I try some intensity changes and after all I cannot mine with RX480 anymore...

Claymore, please help. I reinstall Windows and no change, still can't mine. ;(

If it fails on "start building OpenCL program" - something is wrong with OpenCL, i.e. with drivers.

I have this exactly same problem with my one rig, i already try several drivers, but its just always stuck in that line,  strangely claymore miner works with nicehash miner apps, how to fix this things?

i think you need to use one of the older cuda folders for the 970, try the 7.5 or 6.5 folders

Hello Claymore.

I am using Dual Eth miner on my Linux servers to mine for Nicehash. Nicehash offers API which I use to find out what coin is most profitable to mine. Sometimes it is ethereum, sometimes it is not. My problem with your software is that when I stop mining other algo and I start mining Ethereum using your software, there is a big delay until your software starts actually mining. It does something for preparation, I do not know what it is, perhaps generating some DAG, or some other things. Anyway, my rigs are effectively making zero profit during the initialization of your miner, which can be 30 seconds or even more.

Would it be possible to implement something into your miner to allow it to start mining faster? I would suggest maybe two solutions, but I am sure you may came up with even better one. My proposed solutions are:

1) if there is a need to prepare something on miner startup, would it be possible to implement some commandline parameter, which would cause generating of the initial data only once, on the first run, and store it on disk, so it could be reused from disk later?

2) alternative solution, if the idea with temp data files on disk doesn't work, would it be possible to, for example, implement a command line parameter for your miner, which would specify a path to file to execute, after your miner knows it is ready to start mining? This way, I would keep my previous mining software running, then I would launch your miner in parallel, and your miner would execute my custom script just before it starts mining, and this executed script would simply kill the previous miner. So this way it would at least continue mining the previous algo during your miner initializes.

All of this may seem complicated, so perhaps if you know a better solution how to make your miner start faster (ideal is immediate), then it will be greately appreciated.

Thank you

Its loading epoch. Did you read through his readme? All miners have some load time, this is 2017, not 2170

[Chapster]

Hello Claymore,

My ISP is blocking either port 4444 or connections to Ethermine.org on that port.
When I use port 14444 instead (or when I temporarily use my phone's connection), everything is fine.

The thing is that when it comes to DevFees, your miner tries several times to connect to Ethermine on that port, waiting 20 seconds each time until it finally gives up and switches to Dwarfpool.
Is there some way to force your miner to use the alternative port when doing the DevFee mining?
I searched the README but didn't find anything related to that.

I'm new to mining (or mining again after I stopped in 2014), and I can't get it working I'm running on windows with 4 AMD 290x cards.

Miner always crashes almost immediately.

Any clue what could be the issue?

So of course windows 10 updated overnight on me
. Positive I had that disabled, now my six cards show in device manager and they have the question mark. How did you guys fix it?

Roll back to old drivers with no bios mod check....16.11 and below!
Use DDU uninstaller to remove/clean drivers.

Hey Claymore,
Were you able to get your hands on Baffin?
Without asm optimizations it actually does very well at very good power consumption, I would really like to see what it will be when you do asm kernel for it.

Pixel patcher.. Is this not for RX 500 series? I'm running Rx 480's.
