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

[Trimegistus]

Can we use antminer S7 or S5 to mine etherum?

never

you can mine with them att a multi pool and select eth.
only one i know is https://www.eobot.com

dont know if its profitable

Stay away from Eobot... it's a scam!

[bradleyjay]

I know we can mine ETH to f2pool.com by using:  EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth.f2pool.com:8008 -ewal 0xd69af2a796a737a103f12d2f0bcc563a13900e6f -epsw x -eworker rig1

But this can only be monitored by using f2pool's "generic" payout address based page.  This page doesn't show too much useful information, particularly it doesn't show any hashrate history charts.  If you have an f2pool account and log in to your account it is possible to see the charts, but it seems that mining via the method above doesn't have any way to attach your worker to your f2pool account, so the mining data never ends up in your account.

f2pool says this:
You can mine Ethereum with CPU or GPU. Please configure your eth-proxy set either WALLET to your payout address or MONITORING_EMAIL to your F2Pool user name or login email. If you leave MONITORING_EMAIL empty, the workers page is available at https://www.f2pool.com/eth/<account>. Otherwise you can also check your account info on your logged-in dashboard.

Is there any way we can specify the "monitoring_email" in the miner's pool config?  I know we can specify the wallet address, worker name and worker password, but I don't see any option to specify the monitoring email address.

Send me working eth-proxy config, I will see what it sends with WireShark and will tell you how to configure EthDcrMiner64.

Send me working eth-proxy config, I will see what it sends with WireShark and will tell you how to configure EthDcrMiner64.

This should work:
http://192.168.0.33:8080/rig1
COIN = "ETH"
HOST = "0.0.0.0"
PORT = 8080
WALLET = "9a288c0ec4dc7327536bfd97e6ec780ba31f02d7"
ENABLE_WORKER_ID = False
MONITORING = True
MONITORING_EMAIL = "your.email@gmail.com"

# Main pool
POOL_HOST = "eth.f2pool.com"
POOL_PORT = 8008

This config submits email as a password so use "-epsw your.email@gmail.com"

Confirmed working... thanks for the speedy help and awesome miner!

I repair my issue with the screen attach (I didn't know that I should include command in bash file)

but still don't know what to do with temperature?

AMD APP SDK v2.9.1 installed...

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of experience in Linux. Miner uses ADL API to access temperature info, if it does not work it means that ADL does not work properly on your system. But I don't know why, it works in my tests on Ubuntu 12.04.

can anyone provide instructions link for beginner to mining?

can anyone provide instructions link for beginner to mining?

for the people having sync issues out here, specially for solo mining...this one fixed my syncing issue.

Geth 1.4.6 "EDGE" aims to solve the synchronization issues resulting from this newly found heterogeneity: it introduces a lot more download concurrency to avoid bottlenecks caused by badly connected remote machines, and also introduces adaptive quality-of-service tuning to make peer selection less aggressive for users with more restricted connectivity.

The result is a newly polished sync mechanism that can churn out a 7-8MB/s download speed in the current Ethereum main network (if your connectivity allows it), but also provide a solid and stable stream for all users, verified for as low as EDGE connections (440ms latency, 200 kbps upstream, 220kbps downstream).

well.. i'm gonna try solo mining now 

[merc84]

Switching to coinotron fixed my low payout issues, now getting 90+% of calculator, bottom line if ur having lower than expect returns on dwarf pool then try another pool.

[BitJunkie223]

First off, I just want to thank you for this release. It is THE only thing I could get working. I don't know if it was a quirk with windows, etc. I could get qtminer running with CPU, but GPU mining would not start up. This did.

The only problem I'm having is a lower than expected hashrate. I have two R9 270's, which should be getting me well over 30 MH/s, but I'm under 24MH/s. But then again, that's according to this site, so I can't really verify those numbers... https://badmofo.github.io/ethereum-mining-calculator/

But honestly, the fact that I got this running at all, after many technical difficulties, is awesome. So thanks!

The only other thing I'll probably end up trying is installing Linux on a small SSD I have coming, and try to see if the lower hashrate etc is an issue with my... TOTALLY "legit" version of Windows 7, which I have neglected to "update", and because of that I seemingly can't use the newest AMD drivers properly (they crash)... So I had to roll back to this release from late 2014 and it seems to function at least. Heh. Maybe someone has some advice?

Anyway, thanks again Claymore.

Hi, for linux experts, please advice how to autostart "start.bash" script upon reboot or power on of pc.

Due to heat build up I have scheduled my pc to turn off at certain time, & turn on using wake-on-lan. I am using ubuntu 12.04 desktop, with gnome-schedule app.

I tried using the following command, but did not work:

/home/carl/Downloads/cdm/start.bash

In Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and later you can use upstart scripts to start processes/programs as daemons automatically. Start by creating a script in /etc/init/YOUR_SCRIPT.conf

For a Claymore miner, your scrypt should look like this:

Code:

description "Claymore Miner"

start on filesystem and static-network-up
stop on runlevel [016]
respawn
respawn limit 5 30
console log
nice 15
setuid YOUR_USER_NAME
setgid YOUR_USER_NAME

kill signal INT

script

    echo "Starting Claymore Miner"
    cd /home/YOUR_USER_NAME/Path_to_your_miner
    ./EthDcrMiner64 YOUR_EXTRA_SETTINGS

end script

you can use the command

Code:

sudo service your_process start/stop/restart

Edit: since Claymore use logging by default you can give up the console logging.

I think using ubuntu  older than 14.04 is not good idea..  But I see using newest (like mine 15.10)  too...
But  I hope maybe  someone help us and make tutorial how  to run CDM on  latest ubuntu  server, 15.10 I guess or lubuntu maybe ( newer doesn't support  fglrx) with temperature check  and fan control or turning miner on startup..

Thank you for your kind reply.

I have done the following:
1) Made a script: /etc/init/miner.conf with content
https://i.imgur.com/KZ5EyT7.png
2) Restarted the pc

But then after booting, & auto-login to desktop, the script did not run. Expecting a terminal window to appear just like when I run it manually by typing ./start.bash at terminal.

I am not sure how or when to use the "sudo service your_process..." command

Need your further guidance, please.

Nothing will appear on the screen, the miner will run in the background, you can check it by looking at the logs, you can check the miner live by doing:
 

Code:

tail -f /the /path/to claymore log

.

However I would disable claymore logging and add the console logging,  in your case the logs should be then located in:

Code:

/var/log/upstart/miner.log

and you can also perform

Code:

sudo tail -f /var/log/upstart/miner.log

The new Ubuntu (16.04 LTS) support everything you mentioned above, the problem is in drivers and not the OS it self, you should wait a bit for new drivers, meanwhile you can use 14.04 LTS.

I meant older* I corrected, sorry

meanwhile I decided to try GenthOS.. now I am installing
