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

[papasmurf1337]

9.1 is (https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/1e3dce0e3dd3b7ca7e96d731ccc2cfc778dcaa5d9e550676820ff710ebe9fdd8/analysis/1492355216/)

Miners are often recognised as viruses. Don't worry. Just make an exception in your AV software.

Or one good question, why you need AV on mashine what is used for mining?
Every AV can take 30-40% of your CPU so i would not have AV there.

you are correct.
more than that - I'd suggest to never install any A/V shit on your computer. If you have proper habits its really hard (and I mean REALLY hard) to get harmed by a virus/malware, however antivirus will fuck up your system (to a various degree) immediately as you install it.

EDIT: and I mean any system, not only miners

@Claymore
You can also use environment variables in "epools.txt" and "config.txt" files. For example, define "WORKER" environment variable and use it as "%WORKER%" in config.txt or in epools.txt.

what goes in config.txt and would be in start.bat script do i use ETHadress.%WORKER% or ?

(tested on Linux)
You dont need to put pool address in config, nor command line, if all is in the epools.txt
eg my config.txt (ETH mining) is:

Code:

-mode 1 -asm 1 -etha 1
-tt 80 -tstop 90 -fanmin 50
-etht 1000 -ftime 10
-r 1 -retrydelay 5
-dbg -1 -logfile /var/log/ethdcrminer/ethdcrminer.debug.noappend.log

and my epools.txt is

Code:

POOL: eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999, WALLET: %WALLETADDRESS%/%MINERNODE%/%MAIL%, PSW: x, WORKER: , ESM: 0, ALLPOOLS: 1
POOL: eth-eu2.nanopool.org:9999, WALLET: %WALLETADDRESS%/%MINERNODE%/%MAIL%, PSW: x, WORKER: , ESM: 0, ALLPOOLS: 1
POOL: eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999, WALLET: %WALLETADDRESS%/%MINERNODE%/%MAIL%, PSW: x, WORKER: , ESM: 0, ALLPOOLS: 1
POOL: eth-us-west1.nanopool.org:9999, WALLET: %WALLETADDRESS%/%MINERNODE%/%MAIL%, PSW: x, WORKER: , ESM: 0, ALLPOOLS: 1
POOL: eth-asia1.nanopool.org:9999, WALLET: %WALLETADDRESS%/%MINERNODE%/%MAIL%, PSW: x, WORKER: , ESM: 0, ALLPOOLS: 1

in the ethdcrminer.service that I've cooked I refer to an EnvironmentFile= containing the variable:

Code:

WALLETADDRESS=0x12...34
MINERNODE=myhostname
MAIL=mymail@gmail.com

I hope I dit it well (please correct me), but it works well today.
all files have to be in the same directory as ethdcrminer64, pools,config and Data*.bin .
I imagine that for dpools.txt it is the same.

[fredeq]

No idea if this was posted before but with ETH+PASC/PASL gets

with DCR 10. Setting any lower or higher slows down the speeds.

Yup, got the same results, running with 10.

Yes thank you it helped but my question was not exacly related to this.

I understand that you can use something like define WORKER = WORKER1
Thats if you change servers and thinks in your bat script you do not need to think about worker.
It will every time have same worker name.

Someone could help me with this problem, I just started testing a R9 390 on my gamer pc but I have not been able to see the temperature of gpu. The miner is mining with no issues but I can not see the temperature of the gpu, claymore miner didnt show it. I am using Crisom 15.12 and Win8.1. From the log I only saw this error reported every few minutes:

13:41:54:290   1760   Cannot get Overdrive capabilities for adapter 0
.
.
13:41:57:326   1760   Cannot get Overdrive capabilities for adapter 0
13:42:00:368   1760   Cannot get Overdrive capabilities for adapter 0

Any advice ? If you need more info please do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks

Sorry, you' right. In the pool file I edited it seems the Worker: is empty and all is in the Wallet: etheraddress/workername/mailforalerts.
MAybe I shoul have put

Code:

POOL: eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999, WALLET: %WALLETADDRESS%, PSW: x, WORKER: %MINERNODE%/%MAIL%, ESM: 0, ALLPOOLS: 1

or even (it seems mail is treated as password by nanopool, beside being the "dead worker" alert address)

Code:

POOL: eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999, WALLET: %WALLETADDRESS%, PSW: %MAIL%, WORKER: %MINERNODE%, ESM: 0, ALLPOOLS: 1

Claymore,

Will you be getting your hands on the RX Vega once released? Will you optimize the miner for the card?

[Vasyok55555]

After restarting, the miner hangs, this problem is only for 9 versions. We have to use r-1 how to fix this problem?

[antantti]

Undervolted & overclocked 390 again power limited:

Which drivers are you using for r9 390? I am using Crimson 15.12 Win8.1 but miner dont show me temp, however is mining just fine.

Do you have a monitor or dummy plug connected to that particular GPU? That may be worth trying if you don't have one already connected.

[antantti]

16.11.5 & W10

No I havent. Let me find the conector to plug my monitor.

[escapefrom3dom]

v 9.1 is quite unstable (at least for me) so i returned to 9.0.

[antantti]

More fun , gpu0=7970 from 2014 2012 not even close to be optimized:

[cashen]

How do I specify a difficulty using Nicehash?

"-p diff_16384"

If I want a difficulty of 1.0 would it be

"-p diff_0.03125"  ??

I hope @Claymore will answer to us
I started to test stability in mining to have every card having 29hash and DCR or PASC to be stable too...to not mix sometime 29 sometime 25 27... -dcri helps a lot!

[marvykkio]

now the speed of eth and reached its limit, now you need to work on stability,
and practically impossible to manually restart the miner because crashes for no reason, why some gpu reaches 0, and the watchdog detects it will not be possible to restart

[miner582]

Miner have been running without any issue since a couple of hours ago. I still not been able to get temperature from gpu, neither miner neither gpu-z or afterburner show temperature and I can not overclock using afterburner. -cclock flag seem to not working either. I am using Crimson 15.12 and Win8.1. I reinstalled drivers several times, update .NET and Visual but nothing solve this problem. This gpu do not have attached any monitor or usb display emulator, its not the primary video card. Could the drivers be the problem? GPU temp is 62C measure with laser temp probe. I heard how the fan reduce speed and then increase speed so the miner is doing its job I think. Tomorrow I will attach a monitor to check if it solve the problem, from the log file the only error I noticed is: Cannot get Overdrive capabilities for adapter 0. This gpu was on another gamer pc with latest amd drivers and Win10 and MSI Afterburner work normal, show temperature and allow me to overclock. I didnt mining on Win10. I have no clue beside test attaching a monitor as recommend me here early today.

Thanks
