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

[cjclm7]

Sorry for long post.

I am attempting to use Claymore's Dual Miner V11 to mine Ethereum/XVG. I have also attempted using the ETH only mining mode. Whenever I run the start.bat, my computer hangs and then crashes every single time causing hard boot after this step: "Create GPU Buffer for GPUX" - the GPU has changed to all of them (0-5) through multiple attempts. I have attempted to run the miner with each single GPU (and other 5 disconnected) unsuccessfully. I have tested the miner on my regular desktop and bat file runs without difficulty.

Here are my specs:
x6 XFX Radeon 570 (all 6 cards appear in device manager - DDU successfully run - all changed to compute mode via AMD settings - current software version 18.2.1 adrenalin)
Intel Pentium G4400 Skylake Dual-Core 3.3 GHz
4GB Kingston HyperX FURY Black 2133MHz DDR4 (have also attempted x2 for 8GB without success)
ASUS Z170 Maximus VIII (bios updated via EZ FLASH)
EVGA SuperNOVA 1200W P2 80+ PLATINUM
Silicon Power 60GB SSD (have attempted running this as a third output for the 3 SATA cables each running two of the GPUs and given its own 4th SATA cable)
Windows 10 (installed via bootable UEFI USB)

Bios settings:
DMI max link speed gen 2
PEG PCI link speed gen 2
PCIE confing PCIE speed gen 2
Disabled LED Lighting
Disabled HD Audio
Above 4G Decoding Enabled
Disabled Integrated Graphics (this was necessary for system to recognize 6 GPU)

Windows settings:
Disabled windows firewall/defender/antivirus
Ran Windows 10 Registry tweaks for mining.bat (from mining.help)
Ran Windows update (now disabled)
Have changed virtual memory settings (attempted low end from suggested to 16000 and high end from 20000-24000)

start.bat file:
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us2.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal WalletNumber.WalletName -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://xvg.eu1.unimining.net:5770 -dwal WalletNumber -dpsw c=XVG -dcoin blake2s
have also attempted to mod -gser and this seemed to slightly delay the crash
have also attempted to mod -lidag and this seemed to slightly delay the crash

Windows logs show this critical error with every crash:
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

I'm at my wits end as far as what else to try. Any ideas are appreciated.

Edit: have not changed GPU BIOS or attempted overclocking/undervolting yet.

try change "gen2" to "Gen 1" in your motherboard BIOS
try >= 120GB SSD
try with only 5 or 4 GPU (to check if PSU 1200 enough)

(give feedback afterwards)

yeah sorry have tried auto/gen1/gen2 without success

and cant be a riser problem as ive tried 6 different risers (each gpu individually) with the same problem

[Amkolino]

Guys is ethermine.org still one of the go to pools for ethereum mining?

I always have about 96% accepted shares and 4% stale shares .. ? Why 4%? Is that the miner fee?
What does stale mean in this relation?

I mean the weekly outcome is good but slightly below of the whattomine calculation with my "reported" hashrate from my rigs.

All rigs perfectly stable since the last restart one week ago. No disconnects, restarts, etc.

Any help or info for me?

Thanks a lot!

you trust your 6 risers? what if I tell you there are user who has 16 risers and all faulty?

no harm on trying my suggestion bro

No its not a miner fee, there are some factors on stale shares most probably is the latency of pool, check your mining pool location, choose the nearest to you to decrease latency, also check your connectivity, stable connection is the key.

Have you heard about Difficulty?  it may cause your outcome for being not stable

The only pool you should avoid is Nanopool, it produces twice as many stales compared to other pools, just don't report them.
You shouldn't worry about stales on Ethermine, it is completely normal for a network with 15s block time to produce a noticeable amount of stale shares. You're getting paid anyway, just on a slightly lower rate.

As long as they pay stale shares, ethermine pays 60% and so nanopool.

Nanopool has half the hashrate of Ethermine, but produces more uncles.
Having stales is normal, having 2x more stales than the other pools is bad.

Nanopool have half hashrate of ethermine but have more block mined

1   0x52bc44d5378309ee2abf1539bf71de1b7d7be3b5 (Nanopool)   1737   4.2429%
2   0xea674fdde714fd979de3edf0f56aa9716b898ec8 (Ethermine)   1668   4.0744%

This is % of blocks mined vs uncle

@Rulezz, You are wrong

1. Ethermine - Blocks mined (last 7 days) = 10680 at hashrate = 60.7 TH/s = 175.9 blocks per TH/s
2. Nanopool - Blocks mined (last 7 days) = 5441 at hashrate = 37.4 TH/s = 145.4 blocks per TH/s

So Nanopool has lot more uncles (1733 vs. 1665 in last 7 days)

Anyone here ever get Claymore EthDcrMiner64.exe stop working prompt on Windows 10? In the log, here's the last line of text before the crash. I don't know where I keep getting Claymore Miner having some kind of issue with GPU6, here's another log text below, the last 4 lines before a previous crash, this one crash actually was a full system crash not just the EthDCRMiner64.exe crashing.

Lucky for me, batch file executes after system restart but with just the EthDCRMiner64.exe, which I can't have happening because now I can trust my rig running atleast for 6 hours straight, this crashes happen time we get to Dev-Fee mining. I've got allcoins 1 and allpools 1 in my batch file, tried allcoins-1 too same thing.

I have also been getting prompts from Claymore miner V11 saying GPU6 got invalid share, make sure you did not overclock it too much, but my mem shift is 1900, without error and this I'm using to make claymore miner stable, HWInfo64 shows no single error.

try to switch riser on that gpu.
if it is a modified bios, try use another bios.
keep decreasing clockspeed and higher voltage, see if that fixes it.
you can reinstall the drivers with DDU.
use a older version of claymore miner (10.2?) it's pretty stable

if none of above worked, try to solo mine with that gpu, see if it still crashes

hey anyone here is mining keeccak ?doy ou know some source where I can check AMD hashrate stats?

Thanks. I did option 3 and 4, dropped the gpu back to stock and reinstalled 17.7.2 dec 19th driver after DDU uninstall, came here to post that and saw you did recommend that as well. Thanks.

hey anyone here is mining keeccak ?doy ou know some sourc ewher ei cna see AMD hashrate stats?

RX 570 4GB ~145 MH/s -dcri 5
RX 580 8GB ~210 MH/s -dcri 7

[Claymore]

v11.1:

- added SSL support with pool certificate verification, it significantly improves security, use "ssl://" prefix for pools that support SSL encryption.
- added "-checkcert" option.
- updated EthMan.

This is minor non-mandatory update. Currently ethermine.org and miningpoolhub.com pools support SSL for ETH.

hi,
please submit your updated hashrates to

thank you

Does anyone have or has had this issue?

ETH: Stratum - connecting to 'eth-us-east1.nanopool.org' <192.99.69.170> port 9999 (unsecure)
ETH: Stratum - Cannot connect to eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999

I have internet as I can remotely log in my computer or browse the internet, but I cannot mine.

Guys is ethermine.org still one of the go to pools for ethereum mining?

I always have about 96% accepted shares and 4% stale shares .. ? Why 4%? Is that the miner fee?
What does stale mean in this relation?

I mean the weekly outcome is good but slightly below of the whattomine calculation with my "reported" hashrate from my rigs.

All rigs perfectly stable since the last restart one week ago. No disconnects, restarts, etc.

Any help or info for me?

Thanks a lot!

That is right. You can 50% for the stale shares.
