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

[Saidmod]

can confirm that r9-270x does about 105Sol/s with claymore (windows), using cards that are undervolted

definitely superior to getting ~14MH at ethereum

That is quite fast. For the old cards like 270 or 280, it is better to run them at the ZCash mining, more profit.

Suddenly I can not connect to eth-dwarfpool, does anybody have the same problem?

[Gagana]

Small update v7.4:

- added "-retrydelay" option.
- EthMan: added "View miner console" command.

Version 2.5 just cut the Options.ini file to 25 nodes only. There were about 30 entries before. I stopped and started EthMan many times in the same directory before. I stopped it either by simply closing or via Task Manager. And the last time was via Task Manager. But this is the first time it's cut the list of nodes.

Oooops! It did it again! After the previous issue I've restored the rig list in the Remote Manager and saved with "Options->Save all settings". Then I killed ETHMAN.EXE in the Task Manager and start it again. Now I see only 15 nodes in the list. Not 31.

UPD: I cannot repeat this bug when trying to repeat these steps manually (( It may help that I have two instances of EthMan.exe running at the same time (from different folders). And in both cases when the bug occurred, one of these instances hanged. "Hanged" means that every node in the list has the Red color and I cannot close the windows by pressing "Close" Windows button.

UPD 2 Mr.Claymore I can repeat this bug now. It happens only with "big" config files and happens only when killing the EthMan.exe process in the Task manager. I also see that EthMan is trying to save the config file, even if it is killed abnormally. And I suppose it just has not enough time to finish the save operation and flush the disk cash.

Is there any more room for optimization on the miner? last update was long time ago...

Why are there no dev fees for mining decred? 

[manlabor]

I think it's because Decred is out of favor/on it's way out.

confused.

so ethereum just forked right? do we need to change something in the bat file or what?

fork = client change.

So you need to update your wallet, but for mining, this is taken care by your pool operator

i asked because i read this :  https://blog.ethereum.org/2016/11/18/hard-fork-no-4-spurious-dragon/
where he says to get the ethereum/mist wallet 0.8.7, but its exactly the one i've been using so far.. weird thing that happened is that it started syncing from the start yesterday.. dont know why.

about the pool. maybe thats why dwarfpool was dows for some time yesterday?

so am i all set or do i need to do any changes? still confused)

The latest wallet that you have is auto downloading new clients when needed (eth/geth) so you don't have to worry about forks & updates

[vapourminer]

when i fired up mist 8.7 yesterday it updated geth (go?) to 1.5.2 and continued to use my current blockchain. actually i have never had to resync the blockchain, its still the original i started with back in march.

only odd thing that happened to me was when the 1st time i exited mist geth kept running on its own. i had to end process it in the windows task manager. opened and closed mist again and geth exited properly. struck me as odd but its been fine since.

thank you.

so also this new ether will be getting its own name on wallets and exchange sites? such as ETC then ETH and now CETH?

[du44]

Miner can't correclty detect temperature of GPU's and gives little error(thats dont stop mining) if their temperature above zero ( yeah this is severe siberian climate  )

[CoRpO]

No this is still regular ETH, no new coin. This is just to enforce new rules on the ETH blockchain (not to revert transactions as after the DAO "problem") to avoid spamming of the blockchain and overloading of the nodes

oh god are you trying to melt all the ice around you ?
You don't have condensation/humidity problems ?

UPD 2 Mr.Claymore I can repeat this bug now. It happens only with "big" config files and happens only when killing the EthMan.exe process in the Task manager. I also see that EthMan is trying to save the config file, even if it is killed abnormally. And I suppose it just has not enough time to finish the save operation and flush the disk cash.

Why do you kill EthMan from TaskMan? EthMan saves data at exit and it can cause this issue. EthMan cannot detect that you kill it abnormally, TaskMan sends normal WM_CLOSE message firstly, in Win7 it waits then, don't know about Win10.

@Claymore - do you have any plans to incorporate the Nvidia Zcash miner into your dual miner?  I really like your dual miner but would also like to mine Zcash at the same time.

[gregor12]

Damn, my 290x (Hynix) keeps crashing (on stock settings) after few hours of mining. Program freezes so bad that I need to restart computer. I got 2 rigs each has 5 gpus (280x, 290x) and I only got problem with 1 card. I tryed the card which crashed on both rigs and I get same results. It works good on claymores monero miner. Is there anything I can do? Any ideas? I had this problem on all versions.

He said that zcash can't be mined with some other algorithm. So I think there will be no dual miner with zcash as one of the algo
