11.6 works very well. I'm running with RX580 cards on ethOS 1.3.1.

[gawls]

I have a 5 x RX570 on spread across two rigs.  Since upgrading to 11.6, my GPUs randomly lose 10% of hashing power.  After a few minutes they return to normal.  They don't do it all at once, it's just a random one at random times.  I moved back down to 11.2 and the power loss disappears.  Anyone else have this issue?

11.6 Hashrate very stable in my rig, RX580, ethOS 1.3.1

How does the miner apply no dev fee to 3GB cards when it’s mixed with other cards in the system?

I have:
GTX 1060 3GB
GTX 1060 6GB
EthOS 1.3.1 (claymore 11.6)

How do I verify that no dev fee is being applied to the 3GB card?

[gsrcrxsi314]

Oh. Guess it’s only for win10. Lame. Stupid not to have the same conditions for something like this between the win/Linux versions.

Guess I’m back to ethminer in ethos since it gets the same hashrate and it’s free...

Maybe ignorant question, but how are the ASICs going to work? I thought the whole point of DAGs was to prevent ASICs. How do the ASICs fit the DAG file on their chips affordably?

Its not actually an ASIC, its FPGA board

Ethereum ASICs are about to be released onto the market, I hope that there's a fix to the algo to let GPU miners still continue mining.

We are pleased to announce the Antminer E3, world's most powerful and efficient EtHash ASIC miner. Ordering limit of one miner per user and not available in China. Limited stock, order here now.

As for now Ethash ASIC miner have no advantages to make GPU mining impossible. Hashes per watt are pretty the same. Hashrate is comparable to GPU farm. So today Ethereum authority decided NOT to emergency fork.

.. but you are missing something very important .. network hashrate .. when ASIC become available the network hasrate will spike .. as ASICs are very cheap ... so your profit will fall gravely

On Windows, I'd go with either the blockchain driver or something around 17.11 (whatever the first WQHL version is after they added "large page" support to the mainline drivers).

On LINUX, 17.50 seems a lot more stable than the blockchain drivers, but you have to modify one of the driver modules to get ANY support for undervolting or underclocking the core.

[QuintLeo]

The E3 is NOT going to "spike" the total network hashrate for Ethereum or the other ethash coins.

It will take about 2 MILLION of those units built and operating JUST TO MATCH THE EXISTING HASHRATE.

They aren't shipping 'till mid-July timeframe.

In the almost 2 YEARS since Bitmain introduced the S9 (which was a LOT more efficient than anything else available for months, and STILL is the most efficient SHA256 miner that is shipping) they might have sold a little over ONE MILLION of them (total SHA256 network hashrate says up to 2 million, but you also have to factor in the Avalon 721/741 sales, the eBang sales, sales of whatever miners with Bitfury chips have been built, however much hashrate LW.COM has on it's internally-built miners, and at least one "smaller fry" mining operation I know of that is using their own chip).

The E3 will push network hashrate - but it's NOT going to be a "spike", there is too much EXISTING hashrate from mining rigs that are the SAME OR BETTER efficiency than the E3 announced specs.


It's a lot closer to the situation in Scrypt mining when Bitmain introduced the L3 - which STILL hasn't managed to push all "older rigs" out of profitable service if you have cheap enough electric and has a LOT of competition helping it TRY to push A2/Titan/Alcheminers out of profitability.

Hi, How can i get admin fee like your dev fee.
sorry for my bad english.

ETHEREUM ASIC-PROOF?
In order to make this debate a little bit more organized, pipermirriam have made a GitHub poll asking whether Ethereum should be hard forked in order to render Ethereum ASICs obsolete.

The latest Adrenalin driver works perfectly well for RX cards. It's pointless to intentionally install older drivers.

Indeed it does work perfectly, but it also uses more power then 17.11.4

The power draw is the same for me. Are you sure that your undervolt is properly applied?

Im on the same issue, random hash drops from 31 to 21mh (rx570/470) could someone give few advices?

[derselben]

- added "-epoolsfile" and "-dpoolsfile" options.

Tried to use it in config.txt file - got this  :

ETH: No pools specified! Specify at least one valid pool in "-epool" parameter.

[Mobsy]

I have a problem with one of my rigs running claymore v11.6 -

- EthDcrMiner64.exe stopped working. -

The big issue is actually the stupid windows error window (the one that pops up) that "locks" my miner and it is unable to restart, or even restart my rig.

Is there any way to keep the cmd window with claymore active or to automatically close the "Error" popup window?

Much appreciated.

That poll was closed before your post about it was made, and the ETH dev team has already stated they will not waste time forking ETH over the E3 - but do reserve the option to do so if something more powerful shows up.

Does it work with BIOS modded cards?
I've seen conflicting info about which Adrenalin drivers do so and which don't.

That's also why Claymore's recommendation of 16.12.x made ZERO sense, as 16.11.x and up DISABLED support for BIOS modded cards while 16.9.x and 16.10.x DID work with them.

Blockchain performed best for me for a long time.  But recently I tried 18.12 with 11.6 on my 12-card mixed rig and it's more stable and slightly (very slightly) higher hash rate.

I have custom bioses.
