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

[4ward]

I saw "goodbitprofit" bat file in recent post.
I have questions about -etht 1000 settings and -estale 1.

For that -etht 1000 I saw in one you tube video I can not remember about what it was, but from that time I am using that command, and I am not shure for what is it. But after using it my rigs working normal.
About another -estale 1 I am not using it.

I was also tried several different setups, and finally I find this to work for me.
It seems that some setups are not working on another setups, how I see. Depending from memories, drivers, type of rasers, Windows,...

try reading Readme file
-etht   Time period between Ethereum HTTP requests for new job in solo mode, in milliseconds. Default value is 200ms.

It's useless for pool mining ))

Hi all.
I have win10 64bit,claymore v10,06 , motherboard asus v7 exp., 8gb ram,one asus strix gtx970 4gb oc. When I turn on claymore i have only 2,699 Mh/s. I am using ethermine.org. Is the graphics card so bat or badly set up? I downloaded 352.xx beta driver old but stil the same. PLS help thx

any help for me?

Maybe your bios setup is not good ?
Tray to find drivers from August 23, and Claymore 10.02
Also Virtual memory need to be at least 16 gig

In my rig I have 13 RX580, my reported hash is about 370, but effective hash struggles to pass 300. I have a lot of stale shares about 8 to 11%. This is not all the time, usually about 3%, but sometimes for 8 and more hours the stale ratio is too high.
...
My power consumption is about 1700W in ETH only mode. Every 30 sec it goes to 500 to 700 W for a sec or two and then to 1700W again!

What's your ping to the pool server?
How often disconnects happen?

Hi all,

I use param "-tt -65" to set static fanspeed 65% but my vga start fan only when temperature's over 60 degrees, and idling 55 degrees, I think it's not good...

So how to config static fanspeed and don't need to care about temperature?? thank you  

Somebody help me plz

you can set -fanmin or -fanmax to set minimum/maximum speed of your fans, however ensure that the miner manages your GPU settings, if not use MSI AB or other tools. Also if your GPU is NVIDIA this command wont work.

Hello guys!
Want to remind to all of you, that if somebody has any problems with stability of EWBF, DSTM, BMINER, CLAYMORE, CC miners or needs some extra control over your rigs please read carefully my message below.

I want to introduce you a script, which can solve most of your problems. It is a result of half a year hard work with my beta testers. Now it is clean of any bugs and ready to be introduced for the wide mining community.

1) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2071108.0
2) https://forum.z.cash/t/cmd-equihash-miner-autorun-autorestart-watchdog-for-ewbf-claymore-dstm/20640

It will definetely reduce your valuable time spent near your rigs, because this script will do all the work for you. Just start it and forget about your rigs, relax or do anything else. In case of any problem this script will restart your miner, or the rig, if necessary. It will notify you by Telegramm message about all problems and corrective actions taken. It is open source code (CMD/BAT, not an .exe or something like this), so anyone can check throug the code if needed.
Enjoy your life, let the script to monitor your rigs for you.

Thank you for your reply. I made. It's still the same. Do I need to set all my files?(config,epools,dpools,start). When do I have to set them up? Do I have to set them all?

[Amstellodamois]

1200 & 2225 MHz
900 mV for everything
Power consumption between 850 and 950 W for the whole rig (6 cards)

Thanks. Yep I had that numbers back in June (when I was on solo mining) but I pay a lot for electricity so power consumption is a major issue for me.

My 580s average is 29.5, but they consume 135w each (1150 and 2080-2250, 850mv for everything)


Thanks for sharing. Btw, what cards do you have? Mine are Sapphire Nitro+ 580 8GB (Hynix).

I have nearly the same (Pulse, not Nitro+).
I've been doing 190 MH/s on the six cards (increased core clock a bit, mostly) for the whole night with no issue.

I have 2 nvida video cards, say I wanted to use one to edit video and one to mine, what would the code look like? I couldnt find it in the readme

Or manually disable a gpu while mining by pressing "0", for example.

I don't remember seeing that in the readme. Are there other commands (apart from -dcri)?

EthMan 3.7 question:
- why I can't to hide any column in webserver?
- how to change the pool by EthMan?

[Amstellodamois]

Claymore> What does the -dcri do in single mining?
I'm making nearly 0.5% more since I started fiddling with it.

[Ratledge]

Odd one for me, a rookie: I am trying to tune my replacement 6GB GTX1060 in my original rig, which started life as an HP Pavilion 580-023w for $495.  The 3GB graphics card was giving me fits, so I replaced it with a Gigabyte Mini ITX "OC" 6GB version.

Right out of the box it gets 14.9-15.3MH/sec but I was able to tune it to give me 20.8-21MH/sec (see graphic below) consistently for 10 hours yesterday, but can't for the life of me figure out what I did - nor can I reproduce it.  It's back to the consistent 15.4MH/sec I had right after setting the pretty normal OC values.

You can see in the graphic that the single card hit a 36MH/s effective rate in the middle of that consistent 20MH/s+ run.

I double-checked the power supply and my Kill-a-Watt meter thinking something was holding it back, but - nada.

Any ideas from the experienced miners?  I was getting 19-20MH/s from my 3GB card before I swapped them, and now it seems unable to stick with it.  It boots, but it won't stay online, the fans kick into high gear after a few seconds of the miner running and the screen blanks out.



(what's the trick to posting imbedded graphics?   hmmmm...  I hadn't tried)

P S - I found it! I retraced my steps yesterday and realized that I had accidentally saved a change in my MSI Afterburner settings trying to see if this YouTube video was right about tuning the core power to 50-55% (instead of 0).

It doesn't work for me, and it results in losing 40% MH/s.  I'm back to 21MH/sec.

Sir, i'm having this error, although i've already set my virtual memory minimum at 16000MB and maximum at 25000MB, turn off windows update and defender, not OC anything. But it keep telling me this:
-CUDA error - cannot allocate big buffer for DAG. Check readme.txt for possible solutions.
-GPU 0, CUDA error 11 - cannot write buffer for DAG.
Would you mind suggest me someway to fix it? Thank you.

Post your setup & config.

may give a better idea of your problem so someone can answer with a potential fix

And tell us what card.


Still, about -dcri in single mode?

Re: Claymore Bugs

I have a machine running v10.5 that I just installed an RX570 and 580 card in. At start it says it sees two cards then only uses one of them. Here are the log messages what is wrong?  No conflicts in Device Manager on Win 10-64.

In my case -dcri set to 6-7 increase hashspeed by 1MHs up to 30.5 on 570's

from my perspective this is a known issue that claymore miner having with nvidia cards
I have some 1060 that can start doing this on initialization.
Only reboot helps, sometimes several reboots may be required...

Hello Guys,

I got a rig with 7 GTX 1070, who founds which version of nvidia driver is more stable with claymore 10.6 in solo mining ?


Found problems with nvidia driver 788.13 when overclocking to this conf:

mem +544
power limit 50
fan speed left on 50 to keep cool the cards , (aprox temp is 41-49)
core clock 0


My rig conf

ASrock H110 BTC pro + (All disabled COM ports, serial ports, audio onboard, HDMI audio, ALL PCIe on Gen 2 )
8 GB RAM DDR4 ( 2 x 4 GB )
SSD 180 GB
7 x GTX 1070 Zotac Amp Extreme

Windows 10 pro latest updates and claymore fails and

Event log said nvlddmkmk display stopping responding and have a successful recovery. And sometimes I got bluescreen and cold restarts and windows say the nvidia cause the error.

Please some expert guy can gave me a tip ?

Hi all,

I use param "-tt -65" to set static fanspeed 65% but my vga start fan only when temperature's over 60 degrees, and idling 55 degrees, I think it's not good...

So how to config static fanspeed and don't need to care about temperature?? thank you  

Somebody help me plz  

you can set -fanmin or -fanmax to set minimum/maximum speed of your fans, however ensure that the miner manages your GPU settings, if not use MSI AB or other tools. Also if your GPU is NVIDIA this command wont work.

Actually if you have AMD Polaris you are better off using internal fan/temp control, it seems to be smoother than anything claymore does, also requires 0 attention
Just set GPU target temp to 70C using overdriven tool and also clocks and volts while you are at it.
