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

[poolmn]

is my calculation for nanopool right?by by calculation for 25.7 Mh/s I should be getting 0.192 eth/24h.,and I am actually getting less than 0.1 per 24h. with that hash rate,not to mention  pool's estimates seem wayyyy of.

you can use this site for calculation

https://etherscan.io/ether-mining-calculator

You might want to try https://pool.mn/eth - we support claymore as well and currently have only 0.99% fee

A word of warning about powered risers, if you run out of molex, you use the included sata to molex adapter right...well that adaptor is cheap and 18awg wire.  It is possible for it to overheat and catch fire.  If you draw to much current that is.  Order some 16awg sata to molex and replace the ones that came with the usb riser if you feel they are hot to the touch.

Where to find 16AWG sata to molex?

 BAD idea, that SATA connector and the circuit in the PS it is connected to likely is NOT rated for the kind of power draw that needs 16AWG wire.

guys, i'm curious about eth+sia solo mining, I haven't done solo since 2013. Do you still need the wallet running and full blockchain on the miner rig or there's some other way to do it ? not sure if my shity sempron 145 can handle dual mining with wallet running, also you need one wallet address for each rig or you can mine into one?

SOLO MINING NEEDS A FULLY SYNCHED WALLET--

You will need to fully synchronize Sia-UI and direct your miner to "127.0.0.1:9980" via http.  The Sia wallet (Sia-UI) will listen by default and needs no special configuration file, like older wallets.  Here is my Go-miner batch file:

               :loop

               gominer.exe -I 30 -H 127.0.0.1:9980 -Q "address=generateasiawalletaddressandplaceithere&worker=gpuX"

               pause
               goto loop

If you plan on directing several rigs on a LAN at the wallet, us the LAN address of the computer with the wallet instead of "127.0.0.1".   Two months ago, everybody was solo, no pools.  Now, unless you have several rigs, it will be more than a month or two between blocks.  Blocks are worth about 1/3 BitCoin, currently.

Go-miner works really well on both nVidia and AMD GPUs.  It does not require a separate instance for each GPU.  I like it.       --scryptr

thanks man! I only have about 4gh for sia (if dualmining) but will try it out

[dmwardjr]

Good info. may be why I could get the 16x - 8x slots working but not the 1x.  Would be nice to fill the rig beyond 4 cards.  Thanks..  will give it a try.

You're welcome.  I believe it's the same for you as well with only 4 cards.  Switching it to x8/x4/x4 should get the job done.  I would not have known either without a good friend of mine providing the info.

EDIT:  Not sure of what mobo you have.  Don't forget to "save" the settings after you change them before exiting out of it.

[Vegetablepin]

I just checked, I can undervolt all cards except one is higher with about 10mv, can't do anything about that unless you bios flash but that 10mv shouldn't be noticeable at all, or maybe try force constant voltage.
I'm on win7 x64 15.12 btw.

Card is a reference 290, but the main card has to be hashing to be undervolted to the same level. With the card idle -100 mv will crash. Thanks though just tried it, now main card undervolted too.

How good is the idea and how good do you think chances are if to solo mine with 15GHs?
peace

IF YOU HAVE A 15GH/s SIACOIN FARM--

Whether it is a second coin on Claymore, or an effort dedicated to SiaCoin (SC), you will make about 1 block every 10 days.  This is computed using the calculator posted by CryptoMining-Blog, "sia-calc.cryptohub.info".  If  you have a gaming rig, or a gaming rig and two mining rigs, it is another story.       --scryptr

EDIT:  I have not personally configured Claymore's miner for SiaCoin as a solo-mining effort, but it should be possible.  I don't have the computing power to reasonably make the effort.  Please report your configuration to the thread, if you find a good one.  It will require getwork on the same LAN.

Whether it is a second coin on Claymore, or an effort dedicated to SiaCoin (SC), you will make about 1 block every 0.04 day.  Or, about 1 block every hour, rounded.  If you have a gaming rig, or a gaming rig and two mining rigs, it is another story.       --scryptr

If you are earning a block every 3-4 hours, that is at least a BitCoin a day, or better.  On a bad day, when you have no luck at all.         --scryptr

That number is not even close to correct - 15gh will find about a block/week

So it actually makes sence to try? as in Claymore Dual  this 4 rigs go about 270+MHs ETH\ETC and 7+GHs Sia
Gonna give it a try on monday

Hey Claymore, I hear you're finally making a Nvidia version of your duel miner. What is the ETA on that? Do you have any sort of expected performance numbers yet?

For some reason it worked good on the rig with sia wallet running, but when I point other rigs there it shows connection errors

[rawbert]

Hi Claymore,

I have 2 RX 480 ref cards, they show up in device manager and wattman, but only on of them, GPU0 shows up in your mining software. I tried 5.2 and 5.3.
Windows 10 Pro, 64bit, crimson 16.7.3 (tried 16.7.2 too), virtual ram set to 16gb, gpu0 mines fine @24.5Mh.

Ran these in a batch file:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

What am I missing here?

kilo17 is right - 15GH is not a lot of hash to produce several blocks a day solo mining SIA. On SIA dual mining with CDM, i manage to squeeze almost 19GH to siamining pool, and it barely hit 200 bucks a week.
I rather use all the juice to power on ETH make the most of its days towards POS. Who knows... ETC maybe POW forever .... then will continue with that after ETH POS. Seems almost rigged this whole ETC vs ETH thing.... IMHO.

Good info. may be why I could get the 16x - 8x slots working but not the 1x.  Would be nice to fill the rig beyond 4 cards.  Thanks..  will give it a try.

You're welcome.  I believe it's the same for you as well with only 4 cards.  Switching it to x8/x4/x4 should get the job done.  I would not have known either without a good friend of mine providing the info.

EDIT:  Not sure of what mobo you have.  Don't forget to "save" the settings after you change them before exiting out of it.

Blind leading the blind-   Changing the 16x slots to 8/4/4 will do absolutely nothing for this problem.

There are a lot of things that can cause that issue but that is not it.  The lanes are decided by the mobo and more importantly the Chipset on the mobo.

What mobo is being used?  Also what type of risers are being used?  Have you tried reinstalling the driver with all the GPU's connected?  Have you looked in the Device Manager to see how many are being recognized?

[pwpwpw]

Today my 4x r9 390 rig stopped, one gpu hung and claymore restarted itself but the whole system hung before starting to hash. I have -r 3 in config and have a reboot.bat but it didn't reboot, 6hours later I notice it, remote restart the pc, then it enters 640x480 mode, device manager had warning on one card. Restart again, no display, I switch the display cable and put it in another card, everything is fine. How did this happen? Display went from x16 lane to the first x1 lane. How can I make claymore use the damn reboot.bat on its own ? -r 1 / -r 3 doesnt work.

GETWORK IS NOT EFFICIENT--

But, within a LAN it should work.  Make sure your firewall and router are not blocking port 9980.  ! Have not attempted to solo-mine siacoin across a LAN, a block every 10 days is not so good.  The SiaCoin wallet needs to allow the IPs of the connecting rigs. and it appears to be configured differently than older wallets.  Several blocks a day, or per hour, make more sense.       --scryptr.

I CORRECTED THAT POST--

As fast as I could.  The calculator I used was faulty.  A block every 10 days solo-mining  is not so good, and mining at a pool will get nearly the same amount of SiaCoin, minus pool fees.

Further, because of this discussion, I noticed that Sia-UI, the wallet, is configured differently than older wallets.  I could solo-mine VertCoin within my LAN by placing "rcpallowip=192.168.1.*" in my vertcoin.conf file, the wallet configuration file.  This allowed my several rigs to getwork across my LAN.  The Sia-UI does not  appear to use this style of configuration.       --scryptr

EDIT:  SOLO-MINING IS MORE LIKE A LOTTERY TICKET--  Just like BitMain promotes their solo-mining pool and mini-miners.  A miner with an nVidia 980ti could place 1.6GH/s SiaCoin hash on a localhost wallet overnight.  If he is lucky, he gets 1/3 of a BitCoin worth of SiaCoin when he finds a block right away.  Last August, I hit a block of ETH within a couple hours of solo-miniing, using a few nVidia cards.  There was only 1 ETH pool, and it was closed to new accounts.  I found one more block within the same week, then nothing.  Pools had opened.  A block of 5 ETH was worth maybe $10, and dropping.

Coins are where you find them, dig we must.       --scryptr

Perhaps a bit of the blind leading the blind however I can say that some motherboards, even populated with all 1X risers, screw up things if left to auto.. I have two Gigabyte boards that won't boot right unless I force a similar setting to the x8/x4/x4 mentioned above when I push them to 6 cards.. It's obviously a BIOS implementation problem but given that most are sourced from common Aptio IV/V or Award base the problem probably exists on a number of motherboards...
