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

[voidwalker]

v7.2:

- added "-lidag" option to reduce intensity of DAG generation, it can help with OC or weak PSU.
- added temperature/fan monitoring for Linux version for gpu-pro drivers. Only monitoring is supported currently, not management.
- "r" key reloads pools from epools.txt and dpools.txt in runtime.
- fixed issue with wrong detection of card names.
- systems with up to 32 GPUs are supported now (with some minor limitations).
- Linux version: fixed issue with closing miner with "Ctrl-C".
- several minor improvements and bug fixes.
- EthMan: added "total online miners" and "total working gpus" info.
- EthMan: added color and font size options for the list of miners.

Thank you claymore, you're the best. I only wished you would open source ethman so we can make it a lot better.

With WireShark you can see JSON protocol details and create own even better tool in your favorite programming language. A few devs already did it, for example, there is app for Android.

- added "-lidag" option to reduce intensity of DAG generation, it can help with OC or weak PSU.

Very useful option. Sometimes a few of my pc just freezes while DAG generation process. Especially one with (3xR9 290 2xR9 Nano).

I'm not using 7.1 because of wrong detection of card names but i guess 7.0 very stable right now. It mine for weeks without troubles.

@Claymore
I have some questions
I use your miner for solo mining. When I solo mine 7.0 version rigs find more block then 7.1. Because of this I turned back to 7.0. I think something is wrong with 7.1 for solo mining and also if there is an issue, I don't know it still exists in 7.2 too. I use geth windows for etc. I run it from a different pc from the rigs in lan.
Is it possible to put an option for GTX 1070 cards to disable fan speed monitoring from miner?
I have RX 470 and GTX 1070 but I still don't know Which ''-etha'' option must I use for my card. If you write optimized cards or slow cards, I will be glad.
My last question is about ''-etht'' Would you put more explanation about it?  There aren't too much things and option in read me and mining forum communities. Because of this I need your help to use all the options for full optimization.

[Trimegistus]

I'm still on version 6.4

It has been stable for weeks now, so I don't see any reason why I should change.

Unless there is some mining speed improvement 

That was not the case with version 7.0, and a lot of folks felt that.

@Claymore, have made any improvements to the mining code?

PS: I run RX 480s

1. I did not change anything in speed. If you think that v7.0 works faster - use it. Because I cannot fix issue that does not exist.
2. You can only disable entire monitoring with "-tt 0".
3. Try all "-etha" values and see hashrates, then select the best for your card. It will not take much time. "-etha" is applied for AMD cards only.
4. In solo mode miner doesn't use stratum. So miner sometimes connects to geth and asks for current job. Default value is good for local network. Original ethminer has same option called "--farm-recheck".

No. When I do it, I will mention it in "History.txt".

Thanks Claymore !

Is it going to be posted on google drive soon ? I don't see it yet.

It is something related to google drive. Logout from google account and try to download, it's already there.

Is that faster than V4.4 for the R9 390 or the 280x?

[Hurtman]

Speed shall decrease twice?
Read that DUAL mining occurs without loss of power

Dual mining ETH+DCR

INCREASE DECRED INTENSITY--

You can increase the intensity for your secondary coin with the "dcri" flag.  I have mine set at "dcri 75", more than twice the default value of "dcri 30".  This will more than double your hash rate for Decred (DCR), and have little effect on your Ethereum (ETH) hash rate.  The cards from nVidia are very good for this, my 980ti gets a hash rate over 500MH/s on SiaCoin (SC).       --scryptr

[adamvp]

Claymore, you could fix the issue when using NVIDIA GPUs without fans (watercooling, server-grade GPUs, etc.):

Ok, I see, you mean not to show messages. Ok, I will hide messages so they will appear in log file only.

Claymore, any idea what the following might be?

4x RX470, win10:

10:56:51:597   1150   em hbt: 0, dm hbt: 0, fm hbt: 63,

Faulty GPU, or Riser?
Thanks in advance, if you have a XMR address I'll buy you an untraceable beer^^

Probably riser if you don't overclock GPUs. Due to dev fee you already buy me a beer when you use my miner

Riser or.. power cable.. I have GPU error very often and.. finally I realized that plug was slightly melted...

Code:

Command 'tar -xz --directory="." -f "Claymore's Dual Ethereum+Decred_Siacoin_Lbry AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v7.2 Beta - LINUX - Catalyst 15.12 - CUDA 8.0.tar.gz"'

Like in previous version... What does it mean?

[maxmad_x]

Is there any way to specify difficulty in dual mining? like lbry static difficulty setting? (sgminer code /sgminer -a lbry -o stratum+tcp://lbry.suprnova.cc:6256 -u suprnova.1 -p d=16 -I 21 -g 4 -w 256  allows d= " " setting for that. It will be great to add it in dual miner too. )
Thank you

Tried different settings, double mining not profitable.
The main ethereum power strongly falls. On SIA twice

Hey Bro,
Depending upon your cards you will have to find the best setting of dcri flag. Start low (20 or something like that ) and use "+" key to slowly increase until the ether mining starts to fall more than 5%. If you want keep an eye on power consumption. In certain situations dual mining may not be profitable more as your power consumption increases / AC power needed to keep mining cool increases / more downtime because of throttling after some time of mining etc. So just find your Efficiency (max) on the curve and then use that setting thereafter.

Single:

Dual:
ETH=17
DCR=210

It is better to get something one

[qqqq]

Claymore, is there any workaround for gtx 1080 (372.90 / win 10) and not getting 5 Mhs ?

[deadsix]

Claymore my miner thread hangs frequently, and it wont restart. I mean when remote-connect to the machine and on the miner window press down arrow "miner thread hanged, restarting" message pops up, but untill I do so, the machine just stays in freeze mode for 4 - 6 hours causing me significant loss. I need to keep checking on machines almost regular. I have set the miner to restart every 60 minutes with -r 60 but nothing happens. I'm using Ver 7.1 of your miner on RX 470's, 16.9.2 drivers on Win 10.

@claymore

thanks for v7.2

---------------------

i have always a little problem, not with claymore maybe with psu !?
my rig have 6 gpu, 4 x RX470 and 2 x R9 Fury.

if i use 6 gpu with claymore, after 5 min my rig shutdown, reboot ...
before when i have try the first time, the rig shutdown immediatly when it load dag.

i have search and read, i have change my config with gpu-psu :
gpu 0 r9 alone
gpu 1 & 2 rx together
gpu 3 & 4 rx together
gpu 5 r9 alone

my psu is lepa p1700m platinium.

what i can do ?

ps : i run with 5 gpu with claymore and 1 with ethos, no problem it's stable.
