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

[osnwt]

v4.6:
- bug fixes.

Can you confirm if it has any stability improvements on Linux regarding statistics socket? 4.4 had issues, 4.5 didn't have as I thought but there was a report of them here. Today I also found the issue of loosing socket by 4.5 on Linux. What about 4.6, were any changes done for it?

I am asking since improving my open-source cross-platform monitoring utility adding few features like email notifications on failures (no response from miner since time shown, low hashrate since time shown, etc), miner restart on specific failures (programmed reject rate, etc). And the stability of monitoring and control socket is a must for all such features.

Is anyone else getting 0 valid ethereum shares submitted since about 5 hours ago? We've been mining around the clock for quite a long time with this miner when not rented. Since about 5 hours ago, 0 valid shares submitted on Dwarfpool. Is it a miner issue, or a pool issue?

I'm on Ethermine and submitting shares just fine.

Can someone give me a good command line to connect to ethpool or ethermine?  It seems to not work the same way as dwarfpool.  

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 0xe4b10dff72b58a363a3c8b70e21cfb236e2697c9.asus -epsw x -di 1 -esm 1 -mode 1 -r 0 -etha 0 -ethi 16 -ftime 10

and same for linux?

Linux (Ubuntu) looks like:

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 eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0xe4b10dff72b58a363a3c8b70e21cfb236e2697c9.asus -epsw x -di 1 -esm 1 -mode 1 -r 0 -etha 0 -ethi 16 -ftime 10

make sure you notice export and the added equals sign

It doesn't work

Code:

UNKNOWN OPTION GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100

etc..

hello, i'm trying this miner.... v4.6 i have 3 gpu directly on my motherboard... and usualy mine whit ethermine and all work ok.. when start this miner find only 1 gpu... how i can fix this?
i have modify virtual memory in 16GB .... and i have installed amd crimson 15.12 ... this is good amd driver?? Catalyst v15.12 = Crimson v.15.12?? if now where i can download Catalyst v15.12?

thanks for all

I don't know if this helps but I have seen this happening when using remote desktop connection. With vnc it finds all gpu's.

-ttdcr   reduce Decred intensity automatically if GPU temperature is above specified value. For example, "-ttdcr 80" reduces Decred intensity if GPU temperature is above 80C.
   You can see current Decred intensity coefficients in detailed statistics ("s" key). So if you set "-dcr 50" but Decred intensity coefficient is 20% it means that GPU currently mines DCR at "-dcri 10".
   You can also specify values for every card, for example "-ttdcr 80,85,80". You also should specify non-zero value for "-tt" option to enable this option.
   NOTE: Check "KNOWN ISSUES" section. GPU indexes in temperature control sometimes don't match GPU indexes in mining!

I didn't find specification of option -dcr. Could you explain this option, or is a mistake in the description?

Fixed, it must be "-dcri 50" instead of "-dcr 50".

Hi,
If you count as usual, please add functionality prevent a start second instance.

new release working great on nicehash so far.. I couldnt get it to work by using the config file at all. ended up just making a new shortcut with the command line you provided in the example.. If you use the config file it will say incorrect btc address and it never fully connects to nicehash.

Thanks for the new release!
I had an issue in Windows 10 Home 64bit, where the 15.12 Drivers do not allow overclocking, either via the miner application, Afterburner, etc.
Windows 7, no issue.
Is this due to the drivers being too old for Windows 10?
I ran a single 390 on Windows 10 with latest drivers hotfix, zero issues overclocked and stable, but the moment I added a second card, BSOD and had to recover to safe mode, roll back drivers, then it worked but no overclocking or even fan control.
And should I install AMD APP SDK v3.0 or similar?
Anything other than the primary video drivers?  It's a mining only rig now.

For failover, use "epools.txt" as described in "FAILOVER" section of Readme. Do not put failover pools to "config.dat" or to command line.

Hello Claymore. Having an issue with trying execute reboot.bat file in you manager. I'm getting red message in miner "File reboot.bat not found" and miner just closing. How to resolve this problem? reboot.bat at the same folder where miner is located. Experiencing this issue since you add this option in miner, but found time only now.

P.S. In future maybe it is possible to add in manager function Wake on Lan + option do it automatically (in case power loss in electrical lines and computer didn't restart for some reason after power restore) .

[qqqq]

Add please on\off sound notification ? You don't have sound off button while warning notification in tray needs to be working.

Miner gets path to its .exe, then appends "reboot.bat" string, then tries to open that file for reading. If failed, it shows that message. It works for me and right now I have no idea how to reproduce this issue, it must work. You can ask if someone else have same issue, right now you are the first person who sees it.

Add please on\off sound notification ? You don't have sound off button while warning notification in tray needs to be working.

To disable sound, you can remove text in the textbox for filename.

Thanks, but check box or button would be nice anyway in next release.

Ok. True. It's working. Problem was in double *.bat in file name + file extension. "reboot.bat.bat". Thx for reply)

Hello Claymore,
I've tried to use your v4.6 miner with a local nicehash pool setup. Though it is working basically, there are problems like a drop in average hashrate comparing to pool metrics and lots of stale, rejected shares. Do you have any idea why is it so?

I have no ideas, need to see the log.

Hey claymore. First i want to say that ur miner is great   . I'm sorry in advance in case this was asked a million times but i couldnt read the whole post.

First;Its there a chance that the dual miner can work with other coins that are more profitable than decred?. Example; Expanse or shift or can u add that option in the future?

Second question, maybe in the future can we buy ur miner for a a period of time (lets says 30 days) instead of a devfee? I dont like that the miner switch very often and that creates a drop in the hashrate.

Third question, what is the bat config example to dual mine in nicehash?

Thanks.

Hello Claymore. Thank for your great work on this miner what help`s us a lot.
But i would like to ask some very important features as from my view.

1) Summer heat come and we have almost not any options to lover gpu usage, with new drivers we have almost no any options to lover gpu frequency- and some of my cards get to 85+ at the middle of the day heat( i set lover voltage, lover freq, max fans, set additional power funs,bios mods). It would be very good if you could add option to make lower gpu usage - something similar -insensitivity as we have in old cgminer. And it will be perfect to lover -insensitivity on any card from our choice as often we have 1-2 GPU overheat from 4.

2) On some of my rigs as i look at msi afterburner i see gpu usage drop to 0% periodically(on some to 50%), think it is not good for GPU, and as i remember on your past miners you make what gpu was full load without drops. If it is possible to make it will be good.

As old miner if i will see this 2 point in your miner you could be patient what without no doubt i chose your miner.

Best regards from russian miners community.

+1 -insensitivity.
