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

[Lunga Chung]

As I understand a stale share is a share which was sent to the pool by another miner before yours sent it. So your miner sent a share which already was accepted by the pool. When you know this you understand why only the pool knows which share is stale is and which isn't.

When two miners send same share it's called a duplicate share.
Stale share is a share that is sent too late, when pool is already working on new block.

Don't you want to add a new option into your miner: to set epools.txt (dpools.txt) files as options in command line or in config.txt file. That will let user to launch just different bat-files when switching to another coin without making each time changes in epools(dpools)-files for new alternative pools.

Ok, I will add it in next update.

Or a simple command inside the miner (for example pressing C could cycle trough predefined pools) but i guess that could produce instability

Can I set the epools.txt (dpools.txt) files as an option in command line or in config.txt file? Because switching to another coin I need different alternative pools.

You can do it in bat file like I do it.

I have the following file structure for Claymore:

[Claymore 10.6]
[Claymore 11.5]
epools.txt
reboot.bat
start-mining.bat

[Claymore 10.6] and [Claymore 11.5] are folders where corresponded versions of Claymore are placed.

Hello guys,
I am a noob miner since 2 months. From 10.6 to 11.4, i have got a same problem.

I have 6 RX588 rig, 30M hashrate for each card.

Sometimes after restarting the Claymore, or after reboot the machine and then start the Claymore, the Hashrate will down to 26 or 27, it may be return to 30 by itself after one or two hour, maybe not.

If i disable the GPU by clicking the number for 5 sec, and then enable it, the hashrate will be return to 30.

Does anyone has the same problem or the solution?

Thanks ~~~~~~~~~~~

Nobody else has the same problem?

I always had and still have this issue. Not a big issue since disabling and enabling get the hashrate back to expected.

I don't know why this happens but @zibastian explanation makes sense.

This is an issue with the driver, preventing the correct voltage to be applied after a GPU crash. You can also just restart the miner and you should get your hashrate back. This is not linked to Claymore, you should have the same behaviour with any miner

[MaxMidnite]

Im getting problem: ethdcrminer64 has stopped working
And other miner also, only when adding 6 cards with latest Ati 18.3.2 drivers.
Is this driver issue and not compatible, strange 5 cards seem to work.
Pleas3e check it?

Nice Job!

I made something similar (but not so sophisticated) at Linux.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

# CARREGA CONFIG GPU
# gpu.conf.sh

MINER_HOME="/home/MyUser/Claymore/v11.5"

SERV_ETH="eth-us-east1.nanopool.org"
PORT_ETH="9999"
USR_ETH="walletaddress.Worker/my@email.com"
PWD_ETH=""

SERV_DUAL="pasc-us-east1.nanopool.org"
PORT_DUAL="15555"
USR_DUAL="wallet.address.WorkerPASC/my@email.com"
PWD_DUAL=""

#JAXX Wallet
$MINER_HOME/ethdcrminer64 -epool $SERV_ETH:$PORT_ETH -ewal $USR_ETH -mode 1 -ftime 10 -mport -8080

#JAXX (ETH) Wallet + PASCAL Wallet
#$MINER_HOME/ethdcrminer64 -epool $SERV_ETH:$PORT_ETH -ewal $USR_ETH -dcoin pasc -dpool $SERV_DUAL:$PORT_DUAL -dwal $USR_DUAL -ftime 10 -mport -8080

So... If I want to change to dual mining, I just comment out the Single mining line (adding #) and uncomment the dual mining line (removing #).

Just updating my results of using 11.5 with the -oldkernels flag...

I have a couple rigs that it still doesn't help on that I've had to roll back to 11.2.

Thanks. The code is good. Allthough it does not solve my problem as-is (alternative pools in epools.txt differ for ethermine and nanopool, following your example), but it can be modifyed. After Claymore's next update there will be an embedded option for setting alternative pools. Nevertheless you showed me a good way for futher automatisation.

Nice Job!

Hi.

Can you change my real email to user@gmail.com. I replaced it only in one place and forget to do it in another one.

[crypper]

Stale share is a share that is sent too late, when pool is already working on new block.

So, that means you worked on a share too long, and lower difficulty of shares (set by the pool) should theoretically decrease the number of stale shares... Is that right? because I often hear just the opposite.
Anyone can clarify?
thanks

It seems we're hearing a good bit of "things didn't work right" for about two days, mostly ending a couple of days ago.

I have been sick so not keeping up, and missed the 11.4 version, and went directly to 11.5.  I haven't really noticed anything major except that my standard deviation (amount of change in the average hash rate) has been a bit tighter, and the stales seem to have dropped a bit.

Draw your own conclusion. (?)

Hi, since a few days ago when the claymore is connected the word unsecure appears in the ip of the pool, in the following way:

ETH: Stratum - connecting to 'us1.ethermine.org' <18.219.59.155> port 4444 (unsecure)

Is there a problem? I did not have that before, how can I solve it? Thank you.

Hello

I am running latest CentOS 7.4 with the CUDA 9.x drivers and all-NVIDIA cards.
When I start the latest 11.5 miner, I get shared library errors for libssl.so.1.0.0 and libcrypt.so.1.0.0

Both /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so and libss.lso points to libcrypto.so.1.0.2k and libssl.so.1.0.2k, respectively.

If I attempt to symbolically link libssl.so.1.0.0 to libssl.so.1.0.2k Claymore returns:

./lib64/libcrypto.so.1.0.0. version `OPENSSL_1.0.0'  not found (required by ./ethdcrminer64)
Same for ./lib64/ssl.1.0.0

Anyone know why the distributions between Debian and CentOS are different?  Any workarounds?
Help I have 9 rigs like this! Stuck on v11.0 for now.

[Lunga Chung]

Can some explain how exactly is dcri auto adjust working?

Every time i restart the miner i see different values, also are values changed dynamically during mining or are defined at startup. The suggested values seem a bit high (talking about eth solo mining) 8 is I guess default, some cards get between 10~14 (use to have on 10.6 dcri set to 5-6). Is this auto adjust for the new AMD kernel?

No Not at all, if you want a pool connection that is more secure then use the SSL with port 5555

Is there a way to let claymore control fan with -tt flag (linux amd-pro drivers) without giving it root permissions?

I feel dirty running it as root.

chown root: ethdcrminer64
chmod 4755 ethdcrminer64

And now you run app as user, but it have root permissions.
