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

[Claymore]

I tried to use -wd 1, but can't make it to close the miner
tried -r -1
tried -r 0
When I mistype pool name (simulating dns /connectivity problem) it just keeps retrying to connect every 20sec, won't close the miner

Watchdog closes/restarts miner only if GPU failed.
I'm working on failover, will be added in a day.

My miner does not close. It will hang the system. So I use -wd 0 to disable the watchdog, and -r -1 not to restart.

Recently i got on my all pc and all ver of miner on different pools

Code:

Stratum - Cannot connect  to dcr.suprnova.cc port 2252
 DCR: Stratum - Failed to connect, retry in 20 sec...

Code:

Stratum - Cannot connect  to dcr.pool.mn port 4800
 DCR: Stratum - Failed to connect, retry in 20 sec...

and

Code:

DCR: Job timeout, disconnect, retry in 20 sec...

ETH with ethermine pool is ok!

Same here.
Upd. coinmine works.

What the hell, looks like stratum down on that pools simultaneously. Or maybe some new client of DCR was released.

[Claymore]

Today some Decred pools have problems, at least suprnova on dashboard page showed me a message about problems in their backend.

@Claymore I have a request.

I've noticed that you have an auto restart option now when one of the GPUs stops talking to the miner.  However, when the program restarts, it hangs at the POOL connection part (i'm mining in ETH only mode).  What I usually have to do when I encounter this, is close the program, and then restart it manually, then it works. 

I have automated batch files to start your miner.  Can you please add a command line switch which just quits the program rather than restarting it automatically when a GPU fails?  Would be a huge help to me (and probably many others).  I love your miner, and praise it on the eth forums.  Much thanks

Stratum method is called, "eth_submitHashrate."  I posted about this earlier in this thread as well (post #569).

See here (eth-proxy relaying method):
https://github.com/Atrides/eth-proxy/blob/d993fc8db84dc09f25b72a34ce69b6977c88ac64/mining_libs/getwork_listener.py#L58-L62

Yes I found "eth_submitHashrate" but I'd like to check some miner that sends this command to see how it works. There is no any documentation about it but it seems it has two params: first is the hashrate, second is filled by random and it's strange, it must be worker name so pool can know who reports the hashrate.

I confirmed with dr_pra that the 2nd param is ignored (at least by ethpool/ethermine). If more then one worker connects via a stratum proxy, submitted hashrate doesn't work. If a single worker is used on a connection, the hashrate is assosiated with that worker.

Never mind.  I just found the updated command line switches list.  I hope adding "-wd 1 -r -1" will do what i asked for above.  Thanks

Already done via "-r 1" option, but it's not included in public release yet, it will be included in next update. This option closes miner and calls "reboot.bat" to reboot system, you can change reboot.bat so miner will just be closed (as if you use "-r -1") or do some other actions instead of reboot.

I have just tested restarting by watchdog, it connects to a pool correctly after restarting, so I cannot reproduce the issue you describe. Actually miner just starts itself with the same command line, so I don't see any reasons why it can fail to connect to a pool after restarting.

+1 , after ver. 3.0 i found my rig 2 times freezed after a crash, i will test with -wd 0 and -r -1 now

[PandaPanda!]

@Claymore, i'm using your latest beta release.  Will the -wd 1 -r -1 switches work?

And I have a loop in my startup batch file.  So I have to just have a blank reboot.bat file in order for it to jump back to my original batch file loop
?

A bit strange approach, is not it? Just send worker name as second param and it would work like a charm.

"-wd 1 -r -1" will work.

Eth's mining methods are more then a bit strange (and inconsistent between every implementation), indeed.

2 requests (fairly trivial I think):
- show eth/dcr when printing Authorized
- show response time in ms for work submition and response e.g. Share Accepted (80ms)

[Mrga666]

I need help from anybody,

I am a big noob and as such I don't know how to configure the .bat file.
I would like to use eu1.ethermine.org:4444 server and I have r9 390x2 graphics card (2x 390), Windows 10 x64 15.12 driver.

Someone please help, I will gift u 0.5 eth coin if you help me.

When GPU fails, often Windows cannot work properly anymore and often it cannot even reboot normally.

Well, I will send worker name as third param then.
Ok, your requests will be added in next update.

i am pool mining DCRs at zpool.ca - it uses Stratum

Works well with v1.2, v2 and v3.

Rejects about 8-9%% - seems consistent and I dont know how to solve this - I did inform the zpool op about it though.
