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

[Claymore]

v11.0:

- added new algorithm for dual mode: blake2s (stratum pools only), use "-dcoin blake2s" option.
- added new algorithm for dual mode: keccak (stratum pools only), use "-dcoin keccak" option.
- reduced devfee for dual mode, now it is 1.5%.
- for 2GB cards devfee is removed completely, i.e. on 2GB cards you can mine all ETH forks without devfee. Check Readme for details.
- added "-tstart" option.
- "-asm 2" option value now supports Tahiti, Tonga, Ellesmere, Baffin; in some cases it can be a bit faster in ETH-only mode.
- removed "-allcoins exp" option value.
- a few minor bug fixes and improvements.

Awesome!

I have a technical question that seems to stump my logic: when I hit <Ctrl-C> in my Claymore Miner window, sometimes it exits out, sometimes the hashing rate returns to normal values (when I break, it's usually because it's not doing what it should).

Is it truly dual threaded where a double break <Ctrl-C><Ctrl-C> is required to cycle?  (seems to be)

You can PM me the log file that demonstrates that you pressed Ctrl-C and miner still works, I will check it.

Odd one, I agree.  I have visual evidence where I screen-shot it 'fixing' the hashing speed, but there is nada in the log about <Ctrl-Break> or anything else for 8 seconds.

11.0 just goes on mining, as if nothing happened - but the speed is back to what it is normally.  Curious.  I'll send the log, don't think it will be enlightening, but the graphic screen dump shows exactly what I described.

- removed "-allcoins exp" option value.

Now what to use when mining low dag forks ?

- removed "-allcoins exp" option value.

"-allcoins 1". You can use old config files, miner will use "-allcoins 1" instead of "-allcoins exp".

Is it possible to update to claymore 11 on ethOS now or does ethOS need to put out a new update first?

You should be able to replace the files in the miner folder on ethOS with the new version. Then run sudo chmod +x on ethdcrminer64 to make it executable and update the config file.

Thanks, it worked! Just also had to create a symlink: ln -s ethdcrminer64 claymore

Any hashrate increases on AMD GPUs?

Atm I get 29.9mh/s with 98Ws right now on v10.0.

[nitrobg]

For reference, RX 470 and 480 running at 1150MHz core clock:

KECCAK:
-dcri 8, anything above that causes a major drop in ETH hashrate
RX 470 = 180MH/s
RX 480 = 200MH/s

BLAKE2S:
-dcri 50 with no drop on ETH
RX 470 = 1300MH/s
RX 480 = 1450MH/s
-dcri 60 with ~0.5MH/s drop on ETH
RX 470 = 1500MH/s
RX 480 = 1700MH/s

Thanks a lot for the new miner, Claymore!

I'm looking forward to researching the best dual mining configs using the newly added algo's.


Your hard work is much appreciated - I'm sure much of the community feels the same.

I'm not entirely sure what's the meaning of your post, but 1060 should be stable at about 23-24MH with mem oc to +800-900

I agree, maybe better for an overclocking site?

Mining rig assembly Monday, this rig is limited by the time puny power supply.

I did tune in to over 20Mh/sec.

could you share bat file for dual mining keccak and blake2s?

BLAKE2S:
-dcri 50 with no drop on ETH
RX 470 = 1300MH/s
RX 480 = 1450MH/s

So it should be possible to mine Verge in Dual Mode with Blake2s (there are 3 pools for it) without any drop in eth-mining, correct?

Does the dual mode heat up the cards more or stress them much, so the cards can break down at some point earlier? :-)

someone cn post bat file?

hi,
please submit your new hashrates to

I'm using this version (from EtherControl) on one of my RIG, very stable ! Thanks.

I try to trouble-shoot The RIG of my friends, who as the same hardware (except PSU). Same BIOS config (i configure it), OS is Windows Pro instead of Home edition.

But his RIG keep crashing ! One GPU stop working !

If i perform the test with 2 GPU for 48 hrs, than another with 2 other GPU, works fine ! But when i added all of them, crash !

I notice in the Readme, something about works OK with new AMD drivers.

Actually, here my CFG :
4 x MSI RX 580 Gaming X 8 Go (1 with Micron Memory, 3 with Samsung)
AMD Drivers Cripnoet (Vers August 2018)
MSI B250 PC MATE
4 Go Mem
Celeron

CPU alway fine... less than 5 % usage !

Is it better if i remove the actual driver, and replace it from the latest AMD drivers, and set them to be Computing optimize ?

This problems kept my attention for 2 weeks now...

My first RIG use a EVGA SuperNOVA 55 G2 8 Plus Gold (850W), and only use 620 W ! for 4 GPU
The second RIG i try to stabilized, are using EVGA 850GQ ... But i was force to add a Corsair 750W PSU because can't start the RIG with the actual PSU with all GPU connected (suspect faulty PSU here).

[dragonmike]

Right... so how to I enable compute mode in the driver when I haven't got AMD Settings installed?...

Nice. I can only get to dcri=35 without drop in ETH I get ~950MH/s on Blake2S
With +21W Power Draw, Nicehash earnings of 0.30$ per day net profit is 0.24$ per day per card

With dcri=5 without drop in ETH I get ~136MH/s on Keccak
With +25W Power Draw, Nicehash earnings of 0.23$ per day net profit is 0.16$ per day per card

awesome stuff mate i will do some test and post it for others.. time to do some research

thanx again
