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

MEGA download link isn't working. Please update.

This thread is dead and and OP hasn't logged-in since November 12, 2019.
If you found other direct links to Claymore Ethereum GPU Miner, that's most likely a malware.

Thanks for the info bro. It is kinda confusing to start mining for beginner like me.

Just a bump.

No need to bump this thread anymore. It’s been years since Claymore was active here and his disappears is almost as questionable as Satoshis.

He was making amazing income on his software but stopped doing updates. The updates were all simple but he just let the miner be incompatible up to a certain block and lost his market share for being the largest ETH software.

No one knows what happened to him. Some people followed his mined ETH fees and there was some movement a year ago or a so, so maybe he is on some island somewhere enjoying his profits.

I hope Claymore is ok.  I do believe he cleansed his online presence as much as possible before going dark.  We all have the right to be forgotten, but its hard.  He's rich as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck though

Yes, I know this thread is outdated, but I'm trying to find a workaround.  I'm mining an altcoin that uses the ethash algo on a 1050TI.  This is NOT for profit, but for speculative mining on a new altcoin that can be mined on a 4GB card.  I get a 14% speed bump on this miner initially over other miners I've used, until it realizes it cannot connect for the dev fee, then it throttles.  Since the actual eth pools cannot be connected to post merge, is there a way to keep Claymore from throttling?

If it uses ethash you have a few options PhoenixMiner, TeamBlackMiner, lolMiner, Gminer, T-Rex and maybe a few more.

Yes you can do this. According to the readme

-nofee   set "1" to cancel my developer fee at all. In this mode some optimizations are disabled so mining speed will be slower by about 3%.
   By enabling this mode, I will lose 100% of my earnings, you will lose only about 2% of your earnings.
   So you have a choice: "fastest miner" or "completely free miner but a bit slower".
   If you want both "fastest" and "completely free" you should find some other miner that meets your requirements, just don't use this miner instead of claiming that I need
   to cancel/reduce developer fee, saying that 1% developer fee is too much for this miner and so on.

You need to add -nofee 1 and it'll mine a little slower but it won't stop when it comes time to connect to his dev pool, which cannot connect and fails.

I had this issue also with many alt-coins. However my issue was that when I mined some alt it would keep switching the DAG back and forth and eventually it crashed after a few hours. Only way to go around it was with -nofee 1.

[Sir William]

Bummer, I already knew about the -nofee 1.  Unfortunately, that switch slows it down to about the same speed as T-Rex 14.9Mh vs. 17.2Mh.  Lolminer & miniZ were both slower still.  Oh well, it was worth a try.  I hadn't used Claymore in years, but recently re-discovered it on one of my old backups.

PhoenixMiner can use the Claymore settings AFAIK.

Seems to me I had trouble with PhoenixMiner with my card in the past, but maybe I messed up (very possible).  I'll try it again.  Thanks for the tip.

Use T-Rex miner with --mt 2 and you get much more hashrate. It is absolutly senseless to use a such outdated and without any support now.

[Sir William]

I'll give that a try.  Thank you.
