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

[Gagana]

Claymore, I think, there is a bug in the config reading section.

In file epools.txt
If I don't put the space symbol between WORKER: and worker name, it always sends

14:28:22:803   b88   send: {"id":4,"method":"eth_submitWork"...}

with no worker name inside.

If I add the space symbol, everything's fine:

14:21:34:911   c8c   send: {"worker":"rig08","id":4,"method":"eth_submitWork"...}

I would also recommend to change the example config a little. Put in the epools.txt

WORKER: YourWorkerName,

instead of confusing

WORKER: ,

And, specially for dwarf:

# POOL: eth-eu.dwarfpool.com:8008, WALLET: 0x..., PSW: YourWorkerName, WORKER: YourWorkerName, ESM: 0, ALLPOOLS: 0

I mean that you have to send the worker name in the PSW field to see it on the stats page of dwarf

1. It is not a bug, space is a required character.

How should I know?

2. Some pools don't require worker, but if I remove WORKER option then some people will have problems if they change the pool name and will not know about WORKER option.

You are right. But if you put example strings for various pools, then you can combine some text and config lines. Let's say:

Code:

#For the Dwarfpool use the following format:
# POOL: eth-eu.dwarfpool.com:8008, WALLET: 0xD69af2A796A737A103F12d2f0BCC563a13900E6F/YourWorkerName/Your_Alarm_email_address, ESM: 0, ALLPOOLS: 0
#For the Ethermine and the other qtminer-compatible pools use:
# POOL: us1.ethermine.org:4444, WALLET: 0xD69af2A796A737A103F12d2f0BCC563a13900E6F, PSW: x, WORKER: , ESM: 1, ALLPOOLS: 0
#For the coinotron and the other miner-proxy use the line like this:
# POOL: coinotron.com:3344, WALLET: YourUserName.YourWorkerName, PSW: YourWorkerPass, WORKER: , ESM: 2, ALLPOOLS: 1

For dwarfpool WORKER is not necessary because if you use it you will not see hashrate on pool. Instead, add workername to the wallet address as dwarfpool recommends WALLET: 0x...../YourWorkerName.

When I put in the config:

Code:

POOL: eth-c4733c276b41a7b6.dwarfpool.com:8008, WALLET: 0x8f61c9561eff08f4049f361cbbd66f937aa7ace6/rig2, ESM: 0, ALLPOOLS: 0

as you say, then the miner doesn't send a worker name to the pool with every share submitted, but the pool understands correctly, that it is from "rig2" and also shows the "Sent Hashrate" value. A little confusing, but OK )  I just suggest to add exactly this format to the sample epools.txt file

How to specify a worker name for the http (solo) mode?

Why do you need it in solo mining?

[Mugtaiya]

In the epool file, I have the
POOL: us1.ethpool.org:3333, WALLET: 0x2xxx, PSW: x, WORKER: rig1, ESM: 1, ALLPOOLS: 0

note the rig1 with WORKER. Will that work with ethpool.org?

[almartins]

Claymore could you pleeeease help me?

Miner cannot create buffer on GPU. I cannot help you with this problem, it seems you cannot use the miner on your hardware.

I had almost the same with an ATI 270x card with 2Gb or ram.
Downgraded the driver to 14.12 (run cleanup first) and now it's running just fine.

I installed 14.12 - and now it can't do anything... error on buffer creation for all cards..

Revert to 14.4 and increase your virtual memory to 16 Gb or even more.

Assuming it is the same as for ethermine.org, it should work and show rig name, but do not show share stats (invalid/valid/percent). I use WALLET: 0x2xxx.rig1 to see stats. WORKER: is probably optional, but I didn't try without it.

Caution!
Running dual mode could significantly increase temperatures of gpu!
In my case it was about 10Celsius and I had tons of problems due to overheated GPU

Sorry if it was mentioned before but I am think it is important to inform about it.

I'm running the claymore miner for eth only.

The miner does show 61,5 MH/s and has got like 140 shares submitted.

My pool does show the miningspeed but it doesn't show any shares.

It's running for 3 hours now.

Anyone knows if this is normal or if I have a problem?

Pool is ethpool.org

[osnwt]

Use wallet.rigname instead of just wallet for ethermine/ethpool to have shares displayed. Shares usually shown in 5 minutes of runtime. And do not forget add -esm 1 for this pool.

ethpool doesn't have accounts. so what rigname should I use ? And why?

you mean my adress 0xabcd...a0.rigname   ?

Do I need this or is it just to see the shares?

If someone here tells me that the shares are submitted and I just don't see them it's okay for me.

I don't need to see them - I just wanna go sure they are submitted.

[osnwt]

You have non-zero effective hashrate - it is calculated using your submitted shares. So it works.

[clipto]

I had the same @ ethermine.org and with the rigname (just name it something) I can see them now.
thanks claymore!

[revelacaogr]

What pool are you guys using for DCR?  It seems like supernova is getting worse and worse - down half the time.

pool.mn  set/forget

Main page not ready yet.... What about ETH with minig pool hub is it ok?

ETH: Mining Pool Hub / Failover: Nano
DCR: Suprnova / Failover: Yimp

i mine with them (( pool.mn )) for weeks with no prob.

[1337leet]

I named it and inserted the esm mode - now I can see the shares.
Thanks guys

Something is wrong here. I had a spare 390 and put it in a rig with 5x 370. When I was home I noticed I probably have a cable stuck in the fan of the 1st 370, so I disabled it with -di 12345 (so that 0 is skipped).

It now reads this:

GPU0 t=89C fan=100%, GPU1 t=80C fan=73%, GPU2 t=78C fan=59%, GPU3 t=78C fan=59%, GPU4 t=52C fan=15%, GPU5 t=78C fan=65%
ETH: 05/13/16-22:40:42 - New job (target 0x0000000112e0be82) from eu1.ethermine.org:4444
ETH - Total Speed: 85.857 Mh/s, Total Shares: 12, Rejected: 0, Time: 00:07
ETH: GPU0 14.159 Mh/s, GPU1 29.223 Mh/s, GPU2 14.145 Mh/s, GPU3 14.165 Mh/s, GPU4 14.166 Mh/s

Now, I am 100% sure that the card being 89c with fan 100% is the 390, wich in the hash reads as GPU1. And GPU4 obviously is 0, the one I disabled. So, something gets or is mixed up...

[adamvp]

did you read known issues?

I have a question:
Could I  use CPU for testing purposes?
I don't want to mess with my ring and on  my PC have not >2gb GPU

Third question (from my friend)
He wanted to start eth-only-mode on dwarfpool but:

You are the only one with such 390 experience. So you must be wrong.
You should get around 32-33MH ETH + 900-1000MH DCR for 1 gpu with Your clocks.

How do you get these 900-1000 of DCR? I have twice less on every of 50 pieces of R9 390 ( What command line do you use? What are the "dcri" and  "ethi" parameters? The manual tells us that "by default (-dcri 30) 390 card shows 29MH/s for Ethereum and 440MH/s for Decred. Setting -dcri 70 causes 24MH/s for Ethereum and 850MH/s for Decred" So, to get 850Mh/s in Decred you must significantly decrease Ethereum performance.

390 with 1160/1500 clocks
That's my bat:

Code:

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 eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal address.rig -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.pool.mn:4800 -dwal user.worker -dpsw x -dcri 57 -esm 1 -wd 0
pause

@ gagana

i found my issue and solution with my 390/390x down throttling (up thread)..

my msi 390 is not down-throttling it was the sapphires..using MSI AB i raised the power limit to +17 (saphhires only) clock reached 1160 at MSI AB monitor.

all are running eth at 33 mhs and DCR at 660 mhs (-dcri 40 -ethi 8 )

claymore could you please add power limit options in the miner..

edit: it seems the "power limit" toggle bar is for all cards in the system. no wonder sapphires are cooler compared to MSI, now they are both the same in temps haha

[citronick]

Claymore,

Can I configure mining modes for each card?

I studied, the -di switch but it doesnt do what I need to do below.

In order not to exceed the PSU limit, I would like to disable DCR mining on the last 2 x GPUs.

While the first 3x GPUs will continue mining ETH + DCR.

Ie.

GPU 1 , ETH + DCR dual mining mode
GPU 2 , ETH + DCR dual mining mode
GPU 3 , ETH + DCR dual mining mode
GPU 4 , ETH only mode
GPU 5 , ETH only mode

Please consider putting this feature in next version.

Thanks


EDIT:  A good forum member pointed me to the ""-mode 1-02" will set mode "1" for first and third GPUs (#0 and #2)" feature, I am trying this now. So please disregard my question above.

[valkot]

!!! I connected dual miner to work on miningrigrentals !!!

[QuintLeo]

builds for Windows x64 and for Linux x64 (tested on Ubuntu 12.04).

 VERY old Ubuntu version, please to test on something more current, 14.04 LTS as a minimum?


 Ignore 16.04, as that version broke support for fglrx entirely and I'm pretty sure you CAN'T install the Catalyst 15.12 drivers on it at all.
