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

[osnwt]

After testing 48 hours CDM and Genoil Ethminer - back to Genoil. For me it works better than CDM. Tested on coinotron and ethermine. Now I'm testing the new Version 1.0.8 of Genoil.

Wondering what you mean saying "better" - higher hashrate (or effective hashrate after subtracting DevFee), colder cards, better fallover, etc, etc. Just curious because I used Genoil miner, now using CDM in dual mode.

[Claymore]

ok setting that variable doesnt seem to effect the time for http requests  it stays at 200. Also noticed that when i first start the program its showing me as etha 1 for slow cards so i defined it in the command line to etha 0 and it made no diff in speed so i changed it to etha 1 and it slowed me down about 8 % or so across all the cards.. So i think there may be a glitch in hte way CDM 4.2 beta displays the  etha algo when its not defined in the command line(auto mode)..  Its selecting the correct mode just displaying it incorrectly on the output.     Any advice be appreciated.   "C:\Users\Doug\Desktop\Claymore's Dual Ethereum+Decred AMD GPU Miner v4.2 Beta\EthDcrMiner64.exe" -etht 500 -epool http://x.x.x.x:8545

If miner fails to connect it waits for 20 seconds before next attempt. I can add parameter to wait less, but it is not normal mode anyway, you will lose mining speed if you have such problems with connection.
Issue with "-etha" - miner shows it correctly. Check again, the problem must be on your side. If you still think that the problem is in miner, PM me two logs - without "-etha" option and with "-etha" which cause slow down.

I mean effective hashrate. Coinotron shows me a 24hours hashrate of 284.7 MH/s, CDM: 271 MH/s.

On Ethermine column "work" is higher by using Genoil for me.

I'm only mining ETH - not dual.
4 rigs: Sapphire R9 390 - OC 1170/1500 Win10

Sure CDM has a lot of features but many of them I dont need. So I use Genoil.

[Yanakitu Tenatako]

After restart I am getting EthDcrminer64.exe Initialization error 5 on 2 rigs. Genoil works. These rigs worked for months before restart. What is wrong? Is there some time limit or so?

Anyone with idea why?

trying to use dual miner with radeon 6970 and 280x together
catalyst 15.7

280x + 6970 = about 32mh, but rig is rebooting after 5-10 minutes
6970 single = no go
280x single = about 20mh

so is there any way for stable mining with 6970 ?

You are the only one with such 390 experience. So you must be wrong.
You should get around 32-33MH ETH + 900-1000MH DCR for 1 gpu with Your clocks.

48h observation is probably not enough.

I can see claymore dual miner beeing fastest with my 390. It is followed by qtminer(linux) and then genoil.

You have a hardware problem.
Im guessing your psu(s) have a problem.

You should note that Claymores uses more wattage that then other ethminers.

will check, but dont think so...1 PSU 800w powering MB+6970, and 1 PSU 800W powering only 280x

One of my rigs had this problem..  inspecting it i found out the mobo alone needed 450 watts ... so it had to get a supply of its own before that rig ran 24/7 with claymores. No probs with genoil.

I could run claymores for hours using -ethi 0  .. but that put performance below genoil.

You should get around 32-33MH ETH + 900-1000MH DCR for 1 gpu with Your clocks.

How do you get these 900-1000 of DCR? I have twice less on every of 50 pieces of R9 390 ( What command line do you use? What are the "dcri" and  "ethi" parameters? The manual tells us that "by default (-dcri 30) 390 card shows 29MH/s for Ethereum and 440MH/s for Decred. Setting -dcri 70 causes 24MH/s for Ethereum and 850MH/s for Decred" So, to get 850Mh/s in Decred you must significantly decrease Ethereum performance.

390 with 1160/1500 clocks
That's my bat:

Code:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0

setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

on my MSI R9-390, OC settings of -100Mv, 1020Mhz and 1500Mhz, -dcri of 60 will give me 29MHs and 860MHs for ETH and DCR respectively.

Reposting some clever batch scripts by osnwt - he had some forum restrictions earlier - so I am posting it again on his behalf.

Since CDM can use pools.txt files only, I decided to drop command line and use only those files. What I didn't like is that I have to copy/paste common parts like wallet/username everywhere when I always use the same wallet for all pools for the same currency.

These command files may be useful to start the miner. They generate epools.txt/dpools.txt at runtime when started using pool list inside and use common options like wallet addresses for all pools. To change the pool order in the list just swap lines and/or add new ones. To enable/disable some pools use 1/0 as the last parameter in the list. It is assumed that the command file is placed in the same directory as the miner itself.

I wrote this for myself after recent DwarfPool issues, but feel it might be useful for othes.

You must have a very high end mother board. For the ordinary motherboard, all non gpu will consume about 100W.

What is wrong?

Looking at the readme file.. you cannot mine to a proxy.. This miner has it built in if you wish.. "For solo mining, specify "http://" before address, note that this mode is not intended for proxy or HTTP pools,"

you need to edit the epools.txt file to the dwarf servers and your credentials.. Then i think if you put in this command          

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-ru.dwarfpool.com:8008 -ewal 0xA0F5578094e713c58B901eC43FB58bbbD7A63372 -epsw x -allpools 1

i think that will utilize the failover..  somebody correct me if im wrong..

seems nice with this one. but i'm not any good at scripting.
it had been nice with a .bat file like this one but for ETH only and how to set OC options like core/powerlimit

To disable DCR completely just set all '0' values in tails of decred pool lines ('Enabled' column), and dpools.txt generated will have no pools, so no decred mined.
For OC using miner options just add them to GPU_OPTS line. It now has as example some options to order GPU list of 4 GPUS and target temperatures. You may add/replace with own OC options.

PS. Backup your dpools.txt/epools.txt if necessary - this script overwrites them.
