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

[Teress]

What is the speed of RX460 on ETH and on ETH+DCR?

12 eth only, 11.6/184 eth/dcr. visiontek 4 gb, -dcri 32

asm=off

It is too bad that we cannot use ASM.

Claymore wrote me, that to work ASM on RX460 he must build separate binary for this card. Maybe he will do it in future, maybe not. It would be nice. I think if there will be more people who wants it too, than he will do it.

Are the RX 460 still power efficient enough that at those low hash rates people can still make money if they haven't already ROI'd on the card?

Wrong calculations with 1 GPU? Total and GPU0 should be same with 1 GPU only right?

One thread puts statistics. Other thread reads it, firstly it reads data per cards and puts it to screen, then it reads it again to get total speed. If first thread writes new stats between these two operations, total speed may differ. I will fix it in next update so you will always see "total" as sum of displayed speeds.

Hi there, hope you can help me out. Im trying to start claymore miner but after poolinfo it closes the window (crashes?)

Im really new and that is my first time im trying to mine with Claymore.

I have a MSI H270 PC MATE Board with 16GB Ram (4x4gb) and i3 Processor

Win10 64bit

Single AMD RX480 Nitro+ OC no rizer of course. (Driver 17.10.1711 Crimson)

ethminer 0.9.41 genoil is working with proxy on ethermin.org with 24mh/s

start.bat for Claymore

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu2.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0xDea95688970af2C164d7Ff804501d3a03265d424.serveri3 -epsw x

Screenshot:


Thanks a lot!

wrong link to pool EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0xDea95688970af2C164d7Ff804501d3a03265d424.serveri3 -epsw x

Thank you! I tried this now:

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 0xDea95688970af2C164d7Ff804501d3a03265d424.serveri3 -epsw x

Same Result: 




without the "setx" also same

I have the same problem. Basically when voltage is low or something, rarely happens, claymore would stuck

You can see this post to see what happened.

Thanx btw hashrate is still a lot unstable. I guess memory controller load needs to be balanced

Shit this is awesome.... Is there something like this for Android?

i would highly suggest against opening port 3333 on your router and using an app like this to control your miners.. doing so would let anyone with your ip address change settings..

this app seems to be mostly designed to be used on your home network when you are connected with wifi.

1) read-only mode is good enough for monitoring
2) https://openvpn.net/index.php/download/community-downloads.html

@Claymore Can you implement it to where we can change pools without restarting the miner? I can do this in other miners by using a .conf, but haven't seen how to do it with your miners.....unless I have just missed how to do it.

[Mightywill]

sometimes the miner hangs but not totally
if you press S key it shows stat and then says that it is really hanging and then restarts itself

why this happens and why the miner does not detect such kind of hanging(tough it's still running because it can process user input) and does not restart without user actions

You can apply new epools.txt via Remote Manager (EthMan). Or you can press "R" in miner to reload epools.txt.

Try this from FAQ (first post):

- Miner freezes if I put cursor to its window in Windows 10 until any key is pressed. Sometimes miner freezes randomly until any key is pressed.
  You should make some changes in Windows:

the v9.* performance looks a bit weird... I'm still trying to figure out what's going on.
on my modded 470s with dcri 24 I'm getting a nice boost of ~50%(vs dcri=32 on 8.*) for DCR and a minimal fluctuations of the reported rate on ETH (occasional 1-2% drops)
however at the pool it's more like 7-15% down the usual (and this is on top of the "regular" loss of 3-5%)
my regular pool is ethermine and it looks like v9.* somehow constantly underperforms - for the past few days my effective hash never went above the reported rate.
The new normal for the effective hash now is at around 15% below the reported ... and I don't like this a bit.

Will leave it to run for a while more and will see how it goes...

....and the conclusion: v9.1 is doing just fine (if you move workers around/rename ethermine stats go crazy for a long while)

@Claymore: Feature request 

Can you please consider the possibility of introducing some kind of pool management mechanism? Allowing us to move to one of the failover pools without having to restart the miner or change the config file?

Right now, dcr.suprnova is not displaying my hashrate so I would like to temporarily move to my failover DCR pool. But I can only do that by restarting the miner and changing the config files.

Not a practical solution, right?

Can you please give it some thought?

Thanks!

From Readme, "FAILOVER" section:
....
You can reload "epools.txt" and "dpools.txt" files in runtime by pressing "r" key.

Please recommend a good pool for expanse mining. I've tried suprnova but reported hashrate from claymore v9.1 and the one listed on pool was not similar. The gap was huge after 2 hours testing. Is this normal?

Thank you for the prompt replay. I'm familiar with that feature and I've been using it. I was asking for a way to cycle through the available pools without the need to change the contents of the .txt files.

Hmm... How do you think it must look like?

I guess I am still not understanding. I can reload the failover pools, but how do I manually switch to another pool without the first pool failing? For example in sgminer I can hit "p" to list the pools loaded by the .conf, then hit "s" to switch pools, it will ask me for the pool number from the list of loaded pools........let's say I'm on pool 1 and want to start mining on pool 7 ......in sgminer I would type p s 7 enter, and then spacebar or any other key to get out of the "p" menu.

How can I accomplish the same thing in your miner?

Add a shortcut key that will disconnect from the main pool, switching to the next one in the epools.txt. And a similar procedure for the dpools.txt...

As an alternative, more complicated but way more powerful, you can add something like the sgminer solution for pool management where you can add a parameter to the config file stating if you want load balance, failover, round robin... and you can change this in runtime.

Anyway, you are the developer, you know better. I just think it would be a nice addition to this wonderful miner (and to all your other miners!)

Thanks!

[Claymore]

Ok, I'll implement it in next update.

Any owner of the XFX 470 1236 MHz, how good is the performance on Eth only?
