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

For those having problem with windows defender like me, you can go into the History tab and click on view details. There you can restore the deleted .exe file, much easier and safer than disabling everything

Anyone have issues with Windows 10 where the start file when run it just looks like it opens real quick and then close?  My Claymore was working for a few days and now is acting up like this.  Re-install the OS and it would work the first time and after reboot it would do the same.  Driver version is 15.12 AMD R9 390

check windows 10 is not deleting it on you.. it was posted a few posts back.  Also you can shift right click the folder you have the batch file in  and open command window in that folder.. then type the bat that way you can see the error without it closing the window

This happen to me for the first time last night.  i created an exclusion in windows defender and that got me up and running.

Yes I agree but I like control over my machine. Seems win 10 has an update everyday. I got tired of restarting my rigs.  Not to mention it was replacing my amd drivers to Windows version.  I finally just killed it all.  As far as win defender I use Norton and just set certain folders to ignore that way I don't have to deal with file deletion every time their is update   Had issues with nicehashminer always getting the exe's and dll's deleted.  Its all about what your comfortable with.  To the avg user I prolly wouldn't recommend shutting down update service and bits.

Hi Claymore,
In the event of downtime of Internet connection from my provider, the miner will stop mining and triggers failover pools.
Is there a way, for CDM to identify internet downtime vs pool unavailability?
For my case, if CDM tries all of pools in the failover file, and still cannot establish mining, I would like to trigger "reboot.bat" so that Windows would try to establish internet connectivity at boot up with router etc.
Does this makes sense, or probably you have another solution?
Thanks

I think you need some separate utility for that, it's not a good idea to put all possible things into miner.

@Claymore:
First of all: GREAT work. We can see avr. gains around 10% on our 295x2 cards.
One little thing left - Your miner only gives temp stats for 1 GPU per card only, therefore can't stop if set max. temp is reached on a non-monitored GPU. We played around with all various parameters with no success.
Can you check that? Will provide any help if requested...
Thanks and regards,
Tender

I don't have 295 card so I cannot check it easily. Have you disabled CrossFire? Usually it helps if ADL finds one card instead of two.

Crossfire is disabled, even with one card only it does not see the second GPU temp. Same with 390x2, probably all Dual-GPU cards, can somebody confirm?

Does someone use Dual-GPU cards & can confirm that the miner only sees the temp of the first GPU per card?

I have one rig with 2 x 295, miner sees temps for 3 GPU´s...

Second GPU of first card doesn't show at all.

Devil 13 only one gpu shows a temp & fan reading
GPU0 t=0C fan=0%, GPU1 t=74C fan=84%

On 7990 miner see 1 GPU Temp.

@Claymore
I need a parameter saying to miner, if the temperature of a card is greater than a threshold of let's say 80 degrees than switch to ether only mining rather then dual mining.
samething for cold environment, if gpu temp is colder than 60 degrees than dual mine.
Summer is beginning here in İstanbul so this would be very helpfull.
I Appreciate your good work.

Ok, I will add it in next update, it will be available in 3-4 days.

How would this work, would all cards switch to eth only or only cards that are below threshold?

Every card will be managed separately.

Could you make it so that it doesnt necessarily switch to ether only but adjusts the -dcri lower. My cards have about 50W and 5-10 degrees difference depending on the weather between -dcri 0 and 50. It could work similarly to the -tt value. For example if I put -tt 70 and -dcris 0-50 and -dcrit 75 it would first run the fans at 100% from 70 till the temperature gets over 75 and then it would start adjusting -dcri between 0-50 to try to keep the temperature at max 75 just like the fan tries to keep it at 70.

Also it could be a good idea to implement a max fan speed value. I like the -tt feature because it keeps the fan speed optimal at wanted temperature but I don't really like running the fans at 100% even though the cards get over the "wanted" value. I set the wanted value below allowed temperatures just to keep the cards cool if easily possible but I still dont want to shorten the fans life by running them at 100% if not necessary.

For example at cool days my cards can stay at 70 degrees with <50% fan speed but on hot days they need 100% to keep them at 70. If I set -tt to 70 the fans run a lot of the time at 100% when they could run with 80% at 75 degrees. On the other hand if I change the -tt to 75 I let the cards get hotter on chilly days without the need for it. I don't really know how much the hotness or fan speeds shorten the cards/fans life but I can imagine that the lower they both run the better it is. I prefer running the cards cooler but when the fans get over 80% I feel they are overworking.

As another example, its sometimes +25 when the sun is shining and it gets really hot inside while at nights it is +5 and really chilly inside. I could run dual mining most of the time even at summer and its a shame to loose the free extra profits but its too much hassle to keep changing it manually on many rigs depending on the weather. Usually I just check the weather forecast few days into the future and go by that.

Hi

Failover 4 means you are mining on fourth pool address you entered (in epools.txt)
meaning it had problem connecting to main address as well as on the two first servers in epool.txt

Talking about Gigabyte 380's... Has anyone tried mining on a Gigabyte 380 w/ 2GB memory? I assume if my 270's work with 2GB, the 380 would work too? But I'm not entirely sure...

mine is a sapphire nitro 380itx 2gb, but works fine in ubuntu 15.10 with no special settings.

Great, thanks. What is your hashrate like?

Also, I'm guessing in Linux, you're using Wine to run Claymore's miner? I know that Linux seems to increase hashrate, but does this also happen when using Wine for windows mining software, if that makes sense? I'm just thinking that windows is an inherent bottleneck or something, so I assume it would be the same if using any windows software..?

20 mhs at 1100 mhz.

not using wine, just grabbed the linux version and copied it to my home folder.

i have 2 sapphire r9390s, one in win7, one on ubuntu. they hash the same.

Claymore, could you please add an option to show Hashrate for individual cards in monitoring please? It helps to spot a problem tremendously!

When can we, exactly  expect temperature dependent eth mode/eth+dcri mode  switching?

[Claymore]

I'm testing what approach is more effective, for now it looks lowering -dcri automatically is better, so probably I will select it instead of disabling DCR mining at all. An update will be available in 1-2 days.

But dual mode   costs 2percent fee instead of 1% so if lowered dcri will give decresese earning increase it could be unprofitable..

Yea thats why I suggested to have a thereshold value for -dcri so people can adjust it depending on their own electricity costs/profitability.

For example if you calculate that you need at least -dcri 30 for it to cover the extra 1 % then you would set -dcri changing between 30-50 or something. When your card couldnt keep the temperature setting even at -dcri 30 it would then change to the 1 % ether only mode.
