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

Hi. I have this issue on our pool:
Looks like an issue with either our stratum server implementation or your client code. I've sent you a PM with additional details.

Confirmed, I will fix it in next update. This issue is not important since it is not related to main mining and you can see it only if you use "-esm 3" and "-allpools 1" is not used.
Right now you can use "-allpools 1" if you don't want to see these red lines, or just wait a few days when I fix it.

Hi. Is there any progress with this issue?

Users are reporting that miner becomes unstable in case of getting rejects with devfee mining. Main mining hashrate decreases without -allpools 1. That wouldn't be a problem itself, but some of default pools, like us1.ethpool.org, are not accessible from Russia due to recent actions performed by RosComNadzor (communications watchdog). They have banned more than 20 million IP addresses while trying to ban Telegram messenger app, so now devfee mining is getting interrupted by their blocks.

I will release new version in 2-4 days.

Thx Claymore, how can we run start.bat in admin mode? it try to find it in system32

It's a good idea to move all options to "config.txt" file and start miner directly instead.

@Claymore here is my start.bat:

shutdown /a
shutdown /r /t 129600 /f /c "Reboot from miner."
timeout 10

set ETHPOOL=-epool eu1.ethermine.org:14444 -ewal %ETHWAL%.%COMPUTERNAME% -epsw x
set ETCPOOL=-epool ssl://eu1-etc.ethermine.org:5555 -ewal %ETCWAL%.%COMPUTERNAME% -epsw x
set DCR=-dcri 25 -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:3252 -dwal iRrromka.%COMPUTERNAME% -dpsw x
set SYSPARAM=-gser 2 -r 1 -dbg -1 -mport 0 -mvddc 900 -cvddc 875 -tt 73 -ttdcr 78 -ttli 86 -tstop 90

if "%COMPUTERNAME%" == "MINE0" (EthDcrMiner64.exe -minspeed 172 -powlim 50 -cclock 1145 -mclock 1980 %SYSPARAM% %ETCPOOL%)

How can I do like this via config.txt if I have near 10 rigs? I use OneDrive to store miner directory so config.txt will be the same for all of my rigs.

I have a rig with 4 GPU.
Is it possible to activate solo mining ETH only on 1 out of 4?

Agreed
But in this case original question "how can I start .bat file as admin" is related to Windows OS, not to miner, is not it? And it's a good idea to google the answer.

To run miner under Windows in Admin mode it's enough to check "Run in admin mode" in EthDcrMiner64.exe file properties, compatibility tab

Hi everyone, my miner has been working fine for several days in a row, until all of a sudden it has started mining at 0.000 MH/s, just after switching from Dev mining fee (which is not actually mined but still appear) to the pool where I am mining.

It was really weird as it kept mining for a good 15 minutes at 0.000 Mh/s without restarting or stopping, and even closing and restarting Claymore's software it was still mining at 0.000 Mh/s, while after restarting the miner itself it has started working normally again.

I have searched but it looks like no one has got this issue? All I could see online was people having one GPU going to 0, but not all 6 GPU and the software still going.

Any idea why this happened?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

My rig is made of 5x XFXrx480 8GB GPUs + 1x rx480Nitro 8GB and the batch file is the standard one, as recommended in Claymore's readme.

I have a rig with 4 GPU.
Is it possible to activate solo mining ETH only on 1 out of 4?

Yes, run Claymore twice.  Once for the single card, then the second instance for the other cards. 

[Omg9500]

Stupid question I am sure... Is there a way to change the font color of the miner? Reason is quite simple, I monitor my rig remotely on my tablet and particularly the temp output is almost impossible to see...

[Vann]

Readme.txt:

-colors enables or disables colored text in console. Default value is "1", use "-colors 0" to disable coloring. Use 2...4 values to remove some of colors.

Hi! anyone that can recommend using -powlim in claymore dual miner? cant find what it does , i have 3 RX 580 rigs, bios modded and use a nice claymore bat file but i dont use -powlim! 

can anyone explain some more than whats in read me text? whats the effect of using it?

thnx
KEN

From first page,

mode   Select mining mode:
   "-mode 0" (default) means dual Ethereum + Decred/Siacoin/Lbry mining mode.
   "-mode 1" means Ethereum-only mining mode. You can set this mode for every card individually, for example, "-mode 1-02" will set mode "1" for first and third GPUs (#0 and #2).
   For systems with more than 10 GPUs: use letters to specify indexes more than 9, for example, "a" means index 10, "b" means index 11, etc.

It's a basic way to limit or increase the maximum power consumption of the card by a percentage of TDP you set. e.g. If the TDP of a card is 150W, -powlim -10 limits the TDP to 135W. For my RX 580's I use -5-15% power limit together with a 850 mV - 900 mV undervolt.

[kenron]

thnx for quick answer, i use -mvddc 875 and cvddc 850 in my bat file, is it worth using, or can i use -powlim?

[Vann]

You can try it, though limiting the GPU power consumption too much will reduce the hash rate and make it less stable. Generally for RX 580's -5-10% power limit with a 850 mV is stable for most cards.

[kenron]

thnx, ill give it a go with ur setting B-)

[miner32342]

windows link ?

[kenron]

oh damn, now 3 cards in my rx570 rig dropped from 31mhs to 18mhs, and when i removed -powlim they still remain on 18-20 mhs even after restart and without -powlim -5

[Vann]

Try resetting the GPU's by shutting down the rig and cutting the power to the PSU with the switch on the back. Then press the power on button until the power drains from the system and then turn the rig back on.
