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

[MagicSmoker]

You don't need a stopwatch - just examine the log file (it has time stamps). Then you can share the log with us. Ensure you are using claymore v10.1 or higher.

Okay, got the log file pulled up in notepad but I'm not sure what to look for here. There are some seemingly relevant entries, but I can't quite figure out the start and stop points. Any pointers so I don't have to upload a wall of text?

You are looking for DevFee and Setting DAG entrees.
Here is my log file, that shows that every 1h claymore mines devfee for 37 s:

How is yours different?

PS: just to make sure - you have -mode 1 in the bat, right?

(or w/e built that for you and charged you PREMIUM COSTS, hence the ad)

Nobody charged him premium costs. The post was just an advert of his small business: posted by Marcinprv (where "prv" I guess stands for "first" in polish) and you can find the same name on the advertised website (firstever.eu).
BTW two risers per sata is probably OK; more than 2 is a problem.

Two risers per sata is ok IF using sata powered risers, the main issue is the sata-molex adapters that ship with the risers crap out and melt.

[MagicSmoker]

Yes, -mode 1 in the batch file.

Based on what you posted here are the relevant entries from the log file earlier:

Code:

07:43:49:460	48c	DevFee: ETH: Stratum - connecting to 'us1.ethpool.org' <149.56.26.222> port 3333

07:44:32:692	2260	send: {"id":6,"worker":"eleusis1","jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_submitHashrate","params":["0x19dd5cf", "0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000578d4648"]}

07:44:32:817	2260	got 39 bytes

So I guess the devfee all told takes up about 43 seconds, not the 72 that appeared to be the case just looking at the timestamps in the command window.

My apologies - carry on!

I just wanted to say that after updating both my miners to the 10.2v and deleting all the previous versions from my PC, I have seen an increase in hash rate reported and a higher daily paid out (estimated of course).

Just wanted to say thanks for the great software!

[duniek]

i watched movie yesterday and just realized (someone speak in movie about plant claymores)

i checked and The M18A1 Claymore is a directional anti-personnel mine

this mine isn't related to OUR or regular mine but its clever to name software that way

Check your math. Devfee was 37 sec as it should be and the log clearly shows that DAG was created within devfee. So just sit back and collect coins.

Maybe not so much a problem with the math as what is considered the end of the devfee period - I marked it as when my mining pool acknowledged receipt of my credentials with "39 bytes".

In 1-3 days I will release new version with Adrenalin drivers support (fan/temperature/clocks management) and some other improvements.

Hi guys,
I have issue with Claymore 10.2, I've modded rx580 cards, but when connected in rig only one gets 29mhs in ethereum dual mining and the other 3 do only 25mhs per card. Can it be somehow connected, with PCIEx3 vs PCIEx2 ports? Different algo (Cryptonight) seems to work fine.

I am new to mining (2nd day into it).
I downloaded the most recent version of Claymore's Dual miner, and I use:
A10 6300 (currently mining XMR @ 46 H/s using 3 of the 4 cores)
2x RX560 (currently mining Signum @ 8.8MH/s each)
Windows 7

When I try to run the bechmark on NiceHash I get an error saying it didn't find msvcp120.dll.
Can it be because I use windows 7?
I downloaded the mentioned DLL from an online library but I don't really know where to drop it.
I have copies on:
/win
/win/system32
/NiceHash
/NiceHash/bin3rdparty/Claymore

And it still says it cant find the file.
What can I do to make this miner work?
Thank you.

[maxime506]

I am using that miner to mine musicoin with my AMD r7 260x oc

i get 4.5 mh/s

is it normal or low ?

sounds about right for that card

Have you tried DubaiCoin (DBIX)? The DAG Epoch is only #6 and the size is roughly 1.05GB. Should be easier for your card.

Let me know if your r7 260x get better hashrate mining DBIX

Looks like you might need to install Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Runtime Libraries, don't know if this will help but I guess there's no harm in trying:

For ubiq (as a fork) you need to have -allcoins 1 in your bat.

I have -allcoins -1 because it generates the ETH DAG first, and this is supposed to reduce the time it takes to do devfee switching, but I admit I may not understand this option correctly.

I just checked and it looks like claymore promised to include dag re-creation into devfee:
...
I personally am not aware if that works as promised, but your results seem to suggest that it doesn't.
May be someone else, e.g. claymore, can contribute to this discussion...

Hmmm... I'll try to pay closer attention next devfee round and put a stop watch to it rather than just scroll back through the timestamps, but I know for sure the process took > 1 minute, and not 36 seconds.

Mate, again, if you are mining Ubiq, use "-allcoins exp". It will mine Ubiq for devfee, same pool, same dag. I have tested myself in 3 different ubiq pools and the devfee works in all of them (dont use -allpools).

Not sure if anyone asked this yet...but is there a way to hide DCR in console? I just want to see ETH status of mining (long story why) 

[AlainC]

Hello,

I do need a help. I'm running few rigs under ethOS on RX480 8GB. So my issue is, that on every rig in diffrent time I got problem "WATCHDOG: GPU 0 hangs in OpenCL call, exit" (different cards on different rigs and getting this error in different time in different rigs - from 60 minuts after start till few hours/days). So the problem is, that after getting message "Restarting OK, exit..." theoretically Claymore should restart, but I'm just getting "ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss" message all the time, while rig is on.

Does anybody know what issue it could be? For sure the matter of this message is raiser and overlocking (in some cases I'm gettin this problem with not overlocked cards)

I use Ubuntu 16.04.3 and I have this kind of problem, linked to overclocking and similar instability problems.
The problem is that it is locking something hardware, and the kernel cannot stop the thread, nor even shutdown properly.
I used a USB watchdog, but recently i found that my Asrock H81 ProBTC include an iTCO watchdog that is just to be configured with linux watchdog.

for restart I use the restart.sh with a shutdown -r (check thay you have a restart.sh  that works, show trace to see if it is called).

if your kernel is just stuck while rebooting, try to configure the watchdog of your motheboard if there is on, or acquire a USB watchdog.

Maybe it is already configured under EthOS

The story is actually quite short: setting up the miner for a 3rd party and don't want them to know that you are mining dec in your personal wallet.
And yes, it's been asked before.

Nope, guy is thinking that dual mining will kill his GPU faster and that they will not last more than 6 months if he dual mines. But well, poor 25rigs.
Thanks for the input.
