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

[phoxpup]

I want to report maybe a bug , Using 11.7:
When I try to start Claymore:
miner@newrig_rx:~$ ./clay/start.sh
/home/miner/clay/ethdcrminer64: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4: version `CURL_OPENSSL_3' not found (required by /home/miner/clay/ethdcrminer64)
^C
miner@newrig_rx:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:   Ubuntu
Description:   Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Release:   18.04
Codename:   bionic
Probably, I think there is bug with Claymore - looks for CURL_OPENSSL_3 and not newer versions, because with libcurl3 installed - it works fine, but it doesn't work with libcurl4 (default lib).
Read for some fixes for ArchLinux (They didn't work to me on Ubuntu), but I think that with using Ubuntu 18.04 more and more people will see this error.
Thank you in advance.

Ok I'll check it.

Yes, I upgraded my ubuntu 16.04 system to 18.04 and it broke Claymore's Dual Miner.  Running even the latest V11.5, it was broken.  One "sudo apt remove libcurl4 & sudo apt install libcurl3" and I was rolling.  And before anyone goes and tells me this is a bad idea, I  know it already and thank-you in advance. :-) 🦊  I'm looking forward to seeing a Claymore Dual Miner that works with libcurl4 so I can move everything on to 18.04. :-) 🦊

I'm not experienced Linux developer, so may be I understand it incorrectly, but as far as I understand, there is no way to use libcurl3 in latest Ubuntu, right? And there is no way to put it to the miner folder to make it work.
I often hear phrases like "windows is bad" and "linux is freedom", but in fact in Windows I can link my app to libcurl.dll, put that .dll into my app folder and it will work in any Windows. What's wrong with Linux? Do I need to use static linking with each library that I use in my app? Ok I can do it, but it's ridiculous, isn't it? I saw it with OpenSSL until I linked it statically and now I see it again with libcurl.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. I have about 20 years of experience in Windows and it's enough for me, I have to use Linux only to port my miners due to a lot of requests.
PS. Or may be the only way for Linux is to distribute apps in source form and users must build them every time? Sounds funny...

[Claymore]

Anyway, I will release new version in a few days, Linux version will work properly in latest Ubuntu too.

Hi, you can try this way:

1) add all needed libraries (libcurl3) in your claymore dir /home/miner/clay/
2) edit your start.sh like that:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

if [ -n "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ]; then
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/miner/clay
else
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/miner/clay
fi
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

./ethdcrminer64 ... your config here

Good luck.

A noob question;
Is memory overclocking work with RX560? mine will not change by -mclock 2000 and got stuck on bios.

Hey there
I'm sure what you mean by "stuck on bios" though??
(FYI, this statement actually makes no sense at all probably, because if the BIOS failed to init, (actually the VERY first thing when you power on a PC, before the CPU, or motherboard), then you would not even know that RX560 existed in your rig.

FYI, the reason the very first thing in a PC that completes init is the GPU, is so the monitor is able to show the user what happens next, (the mb init and boot up etc).
This is of course not always entirely true, if you have multiple GPUs for example, because the BIOS on the motherboard only waits for the first GPU to complete init, then it un-pauses and runs it's own init sequence.

But when you say "overclock", that implies you know what the default clock is to start with, and equally the limits etc.


One way to find that out would be to use GPU-z, which will display the defaults, and the current values.

Like anything, there are limits, those can vary by vendor, model, etc, so one way you could find out about your card, (for sure, rather than believe what people might tell you), is to use ATIWinFlash to save your factory BIOS, then open it in PolarisBiosEditor.
Left pane, second box down, "PowerPlay" there will be a value for "Max Memory Freq. (MHz)" and whatever value you have in there is the absolute maximum the card will accept.

I could be wrong, but the RX560 is not such a common card in mining rigs, and I mention this because all the example batchfiles you see posted, are actually specific settings for specific cards, so don't assume you can use for example, RX580 clock limits (2250) on the RX560.

Maybe you can, maybe you can't, check for yourself on your cards, as above, then you know for sure.

Just out of interest, what hash rates are you seeing on the RX560, with what settings, (post your batchfile).


Post a bit more detail, if you need help, problems you're seeing, expectation not being met, detailed info on hardware, enviro,  drivers.

Good luck.

Thanks for the answer.

Bios memory clock is set to 1750, and the memory is Hynix. My problem is; I cant use -mclock 2000 to set the memory clock by claymore, but I can set it with Overdriventool and wattman to 2000MHZ with no problem.
Also I've tested and I can set it a bit more further to 2100MHZ with those programs without any problem, and its still solid rock stable. But again, I cant change it with claymore.

I'm measuring all sensors and clocks with GPUZ, And for sure, with hashrate too.

I've reached 15.758 MH with overclocking and undervolting with ease and no problem.

For the info, This rig is my side rig, and I've set all others with RX580, not rx560. But as they're exist in my inventory, I should use them too.

OK< but what is the "Max Memory Freq. (MHz)" for that RX560?

Make, model of GPU?
Actually, like I said, and rather than piecemeal this discussion, please post a PolarisBiosEdit screenshot of that card stock BIOS.

Need to see the full picture here, otherwise it's impossible to provide meaningful advice.

When will the new version be released?

Did you tried it yourself? Bugs from 18.4.1 fixed? As I remember in 18.4.1 speed drops to 0 on several cards after different periods of time from start mining...

I've reached 15.758 MH with overclocking and undervolting with ease and no problem.

I've a rx560 Hynix too, which timingstraps/clocks do you use to get 15.8MH? I can't reach 15

I'd like to know that also I bought a few gigabyte rev1 rx 560 when it was impossible to buy a 570/580 well for a normal price, but I'll have to say the rx 560 isn't a bad little card

I`m using new drivers since last night on 2 rigs all good so far.

Do you know why Claymore 11.7 does not work anymore?

At home, when I throw it, it cuts off immediately!
on the other hand if I run Claymore 11.6 or an earlier version it works. It's weird not

This can sometimes happen when Windows Defender, or other virus scanner, deletes the "EthDcrMiner64.exe" file thinking it's a virus.
If you could post any error messages you get this would help.
Run Claymore in a DOS box, this will stop it closing imediately and let you see any errors it reports.

Put the 11.7 in a exclusion directory, then it should be fine.

[Budds]

Ok thank you guys !!
I did what you advised me @Facinat  , I excluded claymore files in Windows Defender but I think I'll have to give the Claymore 11.7 folder as recommended @Call_Me_Bambi  , Windows Defender had to delete the file EthDcrMiner64.exe, I am not next but I will do it and you will be redirected, there is no reason that it is not ca! it works since more the last release of version 11.7.

Thanks guys ! :-)

Vega cards? I heard that on Vega new drivers works normal... But on Polaris...

EDIT: Just installed 18.5.1 drivers on my RX 580 and 270X. Looks like Claymore's Cryptonote and Dual miners works normal... It's good sign...

In linux you can put somelib.so in your app dir and link with it also.

btw, I have some issues with fanmin option. it seems not work on my AMD cards. fans stop for a while on start and sometimes during mining when temp gets too low. Is it normal with -fanmin 30 option? If -tt 1 is set, fans never stop.

also I have suggestion - add option to stop mining when gpu reaches some amount of invalid shares.
Overheating & overclocking can result in permanent invalid shares generation for a long time without crashing and normal hashrate. Only manual restart helps in such situation.
Thanks in advance.

It was after a couple puzzling shutdowns of Claymore before I figured out what was happening (a long time ago).
I think this tip should be marked as a 'sticky' as it has caught out so many people, and not only with Claymore but other miners too.

[WhackOBill]

Claymore 11.7 has been running well for me with only the occasional slowdown of card for a couple of minutes only to pick back up to speed.

My only problem is that I can't reliably STOP the program.  I get a BSD from a driver fault whenever I try to stop.  I've tried most of this year's drivers from the 18.2 in Feb to the one before the latest.  I'm in no hurry to be current on my driver under Win10 but I am looking for that stability.  No memory errors and nothing crazy in the overclocking realm.  I'm about 28.5MHs on each of my 580s.

I do use DDU in Safe Mode when I switch drivers to get the cleanest possible install.

Any thoughts about where to look?

What bioses?

I'm running Ultramix 3.1 with Samsung memory and just a strap copy with the Hynix ... 1750 to 2000. All are at 2000MHz.  They really clip along fairly well.  I just can't reliably stop them.

I suppose it could be worse.

Well that happens with too much oc

Turned out ... my boot drive was going bad and when trying to quit the closing of the log files was just too much.  It manifested itself in several ways but one was BSD's of various sorts from the display driver.  Maddening to figure that one out.  New drive ... no issues since.  I was lucky there was enough life left in it to pull off a clone.

[Dbatch]

Latest claymore won't even launch for me with new windows update ughhhhh.. Stupid PC updated only 11.0 working for me and lower hash rates on my vega 64.. Same settings with overdriventool I would get 46 mhs now just 37. Using latest amd drivers. roll back on driver does not change this.
