Sorry for the noob question, is It possible dual mine eth + crea with Claymore dual miner?
If not, in the same rig but with two miner, is It possible? Link to howto?
Tnx

Yes with -di options, take note that it can be done with each card. Ex. in 4 GPU rig you can use or mine GPU0, GPU1 with ETH using Claymore, then GPU2 and GPU3 using EWBF miner mining ZEC

I have my rigs set to -ethi 16

What does it actually do with a higher number? Without stating the obvious!

From what I can see it gives a better hashrate but thats about it.

Can't say for high numbers, but the resulting difference between -ethi 8 and -ethi 16 is the no of submitted shares and hence - effective pool hashrate. I recall 16-vs-8 intensity gives 5-7% more shares per hour.

Claymore said above -ethi 8 increased shares is minimal, but stale shares increases a lot, so it's not profitable to use higher than -ethi 8

I see no difference in stale shares whether i use -ethi 8 or -ethi 16. I get about 6-8% stale regardless. My hashrate however is more stable and less erratic. It may be pure coincidence, but think i've found my sweet spot on my second rig, may change my first rig to this config too.

Rig 2 - 6 x RX480 Nitro+ 8gb, Adrenalin 17.12.2 drivers set in compute mode, Claymore 10.4, controlling clock, mem & voltages, running the oneclick Uber BIOS mods from 1500 straps (Polaris BIOS Editor 1.6.4)

Pulling just over 178.5Mh/s avg in the last 30 hours. 0 rejected shares. All cards run below 61c and fans run below 50% majority of the time. So nice & quiet!!

Broke my wattmeter so not sure what its pulling, but before it broke it was 840-850w.

Done some googling related to reported and effective hashrate reports in ethermine pool. The conclusion still clouded with network, fees and luck factor. At the end its not convincing. in my case a difference of 200mh/s againts reported hashrate over effective average hashrate is just off the chart. is this normal?

For me Ethermine reported vs 24h average can easily go up to 10% difference.
If I'm seeing around 5% - that's good, as it almost never goes below 5% diff.
Stale, network issues, luck, fees, general pools lack of transparency...
Also the huge hashrate (what is it today 20-30% of global hash? ) of ethermine is not really for the benefit of decentralization. Even though the hash jumps around very fast.
Feels like there're now enough "intensives" to set up and maintain a node:)

Hi guys,

I'm having problems with my sapphire RX580 nitro+, 8g  where the hashrate goes down to 20MH/s from time to time (each 20s- 1 minute)

Here is my config :

- Claymore 10.0 ( tried 10.3 but same issue ). Eheruem mining only.
- 4 x Sapphire RX580 nitro+, 8g .
- Windows 10 pro.
- amd block chain driver Augst23.
- MSI after burner for over clocking (memory 2250, Core 1400).


the logs seems okey to me, but I'll put them below maybe u find something I missed

anyhelp would be much appreciated

I think that are you putting so much power in your GPUs and for some reason the speed drops... what kind of PSU do you have, maybe is something with the energy supply from the PSU... I have 3 rigs with those cards, and my perfect conf was 1250 2250... depending of the GPU I need to put less power as 1200 2000 or 1150 2150.

Thank you for the reply. I'm using Seasonic P-860 Platinum 80PLUS Platinum (860W) with 4 GPU. I believe it's more than enough sense one GPU is consuming around 145W.

Can you share your setup ? are u running them at 31.8... MHash/s !

In each rig I have 2 psu EVGA 750w Gold, supplying power for 8 GPUs. So to achieve the best config, I modded the bios (there are a plenty of places to download the bios for theses cards) and with these setup:

cclock 1250, mclock 2250, cvdd 850 and mvdd 850

To run perfectly you need to put less voltage in your card, otherwise will stress a lot of your PSU... in you case, 4 GPUs consuming 145w is to much for this PSU, as the efficiency probably is not more than 90%.

Having problems with dual mining ETH wit dcr..dcr s not getting connected to the pool..til this morning it was running fine...any changes into settings..can anybody let me know..

Did you check if the pool is up? Because I updated to the las claymore version 10.5 and I do dual mining (ETH + DCR) and everything is fine.

I’m using coinmine.pl for DCR.

Hi, newby on the forum here.

I have 2 MSI gaming X RX470 4Gb with hynix memmory. i modded the bios by copying the timings from 1500 to 1750 and 2000.
this was in september 2017. i was getting around 27 Mhs on claymore. since then the hashrate has dropped to 21 Mhs due to the growing dag file (164) currently. now i am reading a lot of you have a RX470 that has significantly higher values than my RX470.

I have win7 64bit. both cards are running 1175/2000 @990mv gpu and 1000mv memmory. getting a steady 21Mh/s on claymore. I have upgraded van 9.7 to 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5. i tried all drivers even adrenaline and the blockchain drivers. i dont get the compute option in adrenaline and the hashrate stays 21Mh/s with all drivers. temp around 58 degrees celcius at 30% fan speed @ just onder 70W GPU only powerdraw in GPU-Z.

the most weird thing is that the Memmory load controller stays at max 83%. I cant clock the memmory further 9even with stock voltage settings)the memm on one card can go to 2050Mhz but that has no effect on the hasrate. i use watttool 0.92 and when i modify gpu or memmory settings. my current driver is 18.1.1

I get the feeling that 25-26 should be possible. What am i doing wrong?

Try to use the R0binhood Driver for windows 7, been using for a while and so far no prob with it.

however latest MSI ab wont work with this. just use 4.4 version

Hello, I'm currently mining with six GTX 1070's in windows 10, I have two more 1070's on the way and four RX 480 on the way. Is it possible to have all 12 cards mine with one script? Or would I have to run the nvidia cards with one script, and the AMD with another? Thanks for your time and information!

[whoismoses]

Anyone having issues with the API failing to report values consistently? I’m using my home automation system to poll all of my rigs. If the API fails to return for 5 minutes I toggle the power to the rig. This has worked fine for months. I upgraded to 10.5 last night, no issue. This morning api is bust 50% of the time. I’ll be home in about an hour so I’ll try to go back to 10.4.

[greatauror28]

i have tried claymore settings:
-1100 cvddc -1100mvddc -1100 cclock -2100 mclock
to
-850 cvddc -850 mvddc -1250 cclock -2250 mclock



Please guys, if you have any idea what i could look for to get this baby stable it would be much appreciated.

If you think you will have a stable rig with modified timing and over 2000 mclock that will never happen. Start at like 1900 mem clock and move up until you find whats stable.

Only noobs run clocks at <2000 for Polaris cards.

The least memory clock I always set is 2020 (for 4gb cards) and they are rock-stable running weeks on end. 8gb cards can reach 2250 if you’re lucky and that surely yields >30 Mh easy.

I dont understand I get 29MH/s without overclocking on my 20 R9 390, the only problem is the heat

Guys,

Sorry to bring the bad news, but dual miner might be over in a few months.

Asic miners on the market are now spiking up the difficulty for LBC/DCR/PASC/SIA

Dual mining maybe gone soon as GPUs cant compete with ASICs, you have have noticed rewards and payouts and difficulty and spike lately, Devs of claymore may need to reduce their fees. to help in a few months.

ETH asic also announced, release in coming weeks.

Do you even know the basics of ethash algorithm? it is so memory-intensive that it would be too hard to design an ASIC with that much memory, let alone a compact size (like the S9).This fact makes eth ASIC-proof.

Try again next time.

i am using claymore on my vega56 rig, and my temp and fan speed doen't appear for one gpu. claymore is detecting all my gpus( so does device manager and gpu-z) and it's mining with all the cards. how can i solve the problem?

[Oldriga]

A few % higher speeds on GTX1070/ Thanks Claymore

[evlo]

Is anything still worth dual mining?

I just got 3rd psu so i can run 4 gpu per psu and dual mine. But with the baikal and stuff I dunno if it still makes sense.

[Vann]

Run the dual mining calculator on whattomine.com. For me dual mining DCR generates almost 3 DCR a month currently, which is worth more than the total power and pool fees on the rig for the month, but I HODL my DCR.

it only takes 4gb to mine... PoS is coming late 2018
its coming, start selling ur rigs.

Why? Just switch to another coin...plenty of them out threre.

Another issue you can add to 'Known'.

apart from win 10 defender, now kaspersky identifies miner as trojan. i hope its just a mistake -.-

Hey!
Just built 2 rigs (both with very same hardware).
When I run dual on rig1 it works fine, on rig2 insta crash and the computer reboots (this issue only when dual mining, when mining just ETH works OK).
Any idea?
