You can PM him

[karakondjo]

I can't. I'm a "newbie" here
If you can send him a PM, I could send to you in order to resend to him and will be much grateful...

Unless you own a 1000-rig GPU farm and are willing to pay him several BTC - he probably won't even look at your message.

Who knows... sometimes miracles happen...
I rely on that my request won't spend him more than 10-15 mins of his precious time.
It's not connected to rigs and mining but with GPU programming for university purposes.

Hello,
Just set up Asus B250 board with 13 AMD RX 580's, this is my 4th miner and 2nd AMD rig exactly like this one.
Weird thing happening...when I start the CM miner, it gives me nothing past the start up screen:
Eth: 1 pool is specified
Main Ethereum pool is eth.suprnova.cc:5005
DCR: 0 pool is specified

Then after 5 minutes (apperently) it says:
Miner cannot initialize for 5 minutes, need to restart miner!

Here is command line:
ethdcrminer64.exe -epool eth.suprnova.cc:5005 -ewal ***.*** -epsw * -esm 3 -allpools 1 -dbg 1


I have a funny feeling it's to do with Windows Defender, because since I've been trying to get this thing working for the last few days, it never popped up and asked for me to Allow it through the firewall...but idk for sure. I shut it off and still no action.

I would post a pic to make it easier but I cannot figure out how to do that :-)

Hey there,
So you have debug on, what do your logs tell you?

Try adding

-di 0

Start with GPU0 only, would be a good thing to try, as you could be overloading your PSUs.
If it's a new rig, never been running/stable, break it down, get through the init on one GPU, prove your config and basic hw/sw enviro, and take it from there.

jooi, what PSU are you using, and how many GPU on each, how many risers per cable?

Kudos on the 13gpu rig man, not so easy to get those stable.

Good luck.

Try this.

So that was a great idea taking the cards out and just doing 1, I should have tried that before posting.  Unfortunately it didn't work, same result. Here is the last log file, the others say the exact same thing :-(

2x 1,200 watt gold psu's, even distrubuted as with my other one.
and only 2 risers per sata leg

Thank you for you help!

OK, will it sounds like your PSU and topology is thought through, so maybe leave that for now.
Could you post the debug log, from the batch file I added above?

(Just to rule out the pool angles, as I have no experience with suprnova, and Ethermine, being pretty much the biggest there is, makes for a good choice when testing, even if you don't plan on mining with those guys).

Now that said, what SHOULD be happening at this stage is the init of OpenCL, (or CUDA if you're using Nvidia).
OpenCL is managed via the AMD driver, so assuming you don't have a problem with the pool, I think you need to investigate if OpenCL is available.

One way to do that, (with a only single GPU in the rig), is you use GPU-z, and see if the OpenCL check box is populated.

Now, I have also seen perfectly good working rigs, where that checkbox is NOT populated, and clearly that is wrong, so to be absolutely sure, you (again with only 1 GPU in the rig), could boot to safe mode, DDU, reboot, install the AMD driver, set to compute, reboot, and check GPU-z, I have never seen that fail to confirm OpenCL.

From there, try my batch file again, and post the log if you're still stuck.
Good luck

Also, VM? Set to 48000GB if need be.

Foot note, in case anyone needs convincing of the single GPU method. If you do a clean AMD driver install with 13GPU, this alone can take hours, more so, if it fails, and AMD themselves STILL have an open bug on init fail with more than 12GPU.

Often when testing theories, working through troubleshooting etc, this is time consuming, and for sure you probably work at testing, (proving) some angles that were perfectly fine to start with. Time is not wasted of course, as you can cross those off the list, elimination of them, takes you closer to the answer.
But all the same, if you have multiple GPU, that's an exponential multiplier on the possibilities of fault, and means more time to troubleshoot is a given.
Breaking it down to basics, (you only need to pull the USB cables from the MB, for the most part), is pretty quick, you don't need to physically remove the GPUs etc, means you can run DDU, and reinstall the AMD driver with the minimum time consumed, and get back to starting Claymore as quickly as possible.

AMD driver install time, is pretty acceptable with a single GPU, but 12 and 13 is really nasty, and I have seen that fail many times, so working on proof of concept with a single GPU is by far the fastest, and most likely to provide solutions imho.

BTW 18.3.4 is a stable driver for mining.
Note: there is NOTHING mentioned in any release notes from AMD, on any mining related improvements in the drivers release since 18.3.4.
That is not to say the newer drivers are bad, (some are though), but simply, 18.3.4 has been out for a while, rolls up all the mining related things you probably need for RX570/580 hardware, and has proved itself far more than any of the drivers released since then. So, if you're going to DDU etc, I'd suggest 18.3.4 is a good choice, known good, known stable, well proven choice, and when you're troubleshooting, you need to focus on elimination of doubt. Go with what you know, (is good).

I was wondering why niether of the cuda opencl boxes were checked, and there has been an error that GPU-Z gives me when I open it or switch cards. I installed W10 1709 I believe then it updated to 1803, so I reverted back and have had strange things since. So I'mma do a fresh install and see what happens, I was able to flash the mod bios already so I don't really need atiflash to work anyway so I'll try 1803 fresh.
Thank you so much!

No worries, wow, that is a nasty situation with win updates. But before you roll back, it would be very helpful to know, if the DDU, clean install, or alternatively a manual driver install in devman as Ursul0 pointed out, gets you anywhere.

Because one would hope that DDU/clean install-driver option is an available solution.

But indeed, you could be right, I have seen some systems in a real mess after a OS roll back, and while that isn't to say that applies in your case, it's always one of those nasty things that sow the seeds of doubt later.

Also, you might like to set all your NICs to metered connection, that at least for the most part, prevents MS from updating your rig, or if nothing else, gives you some warning when they try to.

Regedit
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\DefaultMediaCost]

Grant your user "folder" permissions, and change all NICs to dword 2.
e.g.
"3G"=dword:00000002
"4G"=dword:00000002
"Default"=dword:00000002
"Ethernet"=dword:00000002
"WiFi"=dword:00000002

It won't help you with your current problem, but might be useful on your rigs
Good luck.

If this is actual bat then I see something missing

Here is command line:
ethdcrminer64.exe -epool eth.suprnova.cc:5005 -ewal ***.*** -epsw * -esm 3 -allpools 1 -dbg 1


Here is command line adding asm:
ethdcrminer64.exe -epool eth.suprnova.cc:5005 -ewal ***.*** -epsw * -asm 1 -esm 3 -allpools 1 -dbg 1

if you have a much longer script line like examples shown make sure its all 1 line and not hard return broken into multiple lines.

also not sure if it helps but I have my setx
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0

not
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1

as you are using 13 gpus the pagefile settings may need a lot more than 16 gig, can you bump it up to 32 or 48.

also check gpus are sitting well in risers I had one angled weird that caused me tons of grief.
gltu

as an aside i used to use suprnnova but switched to ethertrench.com no fees smaller pool but increased my eth ratio by 20%.

Just jumping in to clear and confirm that the:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1

Is totaly safe to use and in some cases might even solve incompatibilities and/or improve performance.
I was not surprised to see iSux using it cause he seems to be very knowledgable person regarding mining.

On another note, just download and use Win10 ver 1607 and install windows with Ethernet cable unplugged.
After the OS boots, go to computer management---> services and disable windows update service.
Restart, plug ethernet back and don't worry again about this kind of stuff.

Thank you very much for your attention.

I though that e-mail or PM could be more appropriate instead of spamming offtopics here but anyway.

Our university group develops a project for real-time automotive modeling.
One of the stages require search and evaluate of vector similarity trough 60K to 6M candidates in real time. Unfortunately the CPU makes the search for 2 sec. up to 200 sec. - too far from realtime.
I have no any experience of GPU-programing but a colleague of mine hint me that the GPUs are tremendously effective especially in such kind of simple but massive calculations.

So the search involves:

all our values are single precision float (32-bit)
search vector a[30] - with 10 to 30 float32 values, could be 32 values padded with 2 "0"s
search space b[6,000,000][30] - 6M vectors similar to a[30]

we need to calculate
c[p][j] = 100 - abs((a[j] - b[p][j]) / abs(b[p][j]) * 100)   // p changes from 0 to 6M, j changes from 0 to 30
c[p] = sum(c[p][j]) over j  / 30
if c[p] > 50 then put "p" in the list of returned b[] indexes to CPU

These "100 -" and "* 100" are in order to make the result having a sense of percent similarity/difference respectively.
The constant "> 50" have to be selectable (meaning "percent similarity"), i.e. not hard-coded but sent as argument.
Also "p" could change to 60K or to 6M or something in between, also "j' could change to 10 or to 32 or something in between.

The task is all that search to be made in optimal and fastest possible way (in a part of second) instead of 2-200 seconds on CPU...

On my calcs 6M * 32 point each float32 vectors are about 768MB so even on a little card like Radeon R7 370 (Pitcairn) with 2GB of memory it could be executable.

Because you coding closed-source, we even do not need to know the source code. We need let say a linkable .dll with only 3 functions:

1) Upload b[p][j] array in the GPU memory (I suppose it is similar to DAG-file in Ethereum)
2) give the a[] searching vector and the "percent variable" to GPU, perform full search through all b[]s and return a list of indexes pointing to every b[] which fulfils the percent condition
3) add a new member to array b[] (in order next time to search through N+1 b[] vectors)

About a payment - I'm not sure. My salary is about 1-2 ETH/month (depending of its price). Have another about 10 ETH mined (thanks to your miners). Eventually we will "earn" about 10K € if win the project, for all the development + expenses. If you are interested of any of that - please write.

P.S. Now I noticed - the forum screws the indexing of the arrays - missing "i" in [] so I replaced it with "p"

I don't take any jobs, sorry, just find some ordinary OpenCL/CUDA developer.

"About 17 thousand compromised GPON routers, infected with the Satori botnet, are now scanning port 3333 to find publicly exposed Ethereum mining rigs running the Claymore Dual Miner software for which a publicly known remote execution vulnerability exists. Once the attacker identifies an Ethereum miner running the Claymore software they push instructions to reconfigure the device to join the 'dwarfpool' mining pool and use the attacker's Ethereum wallet."

Assuming this has been fixed, which version of the Claymore miner has the fix?

Thanks for reading my post.

good app but is this only working when the phone is connected to the same network as the miners?

To use the app outside your local network, you need to know public IP of the rigs (go to ping.eu to see public IP). Also, you have to config your router/modem to NAT port from an outside port (e.g. 1234) to Claymore's monitor listening port (default 3333).

After that, in my app, you enter the public IP and the NAT port (1234), that's it.

Windows 10 version 1803 (build 17134.81), fully patched (patched yesterday)
16 GB minimum virtual RAM, 100 GB maximum
windows defender disabled



I installed windows, AMD drivers and one GPU(rx580), tested mining, it worked fine.

Now, I have added 5 more GPUs and then decided to test, the problem started
So far uninstalled and reinstalled AMD drivers
debug log doesn't say much
tried -di 0 (command) no luck
Not sure what's happening here

Anyone know if the Remote manager ETHman can run on Linux?

It looks like there is no Linux version included in the builds. I've tried the WINE program and it works under Ubuntu for ETHMan but only issue is that when you minimize, the program disappears and you need to force quit and re-run it from scratch, since you can't run more than 1 instant.

Hi Everyone,

Is there a way to make Claymore's miner auto switch between 2 ETH wallet address ?  kinda like how the Devfee works ?

I'm helping my friend run & maintain his farm & for payment I can have all the miner mine to my wallet for 1 day every week, I wish to set every Sunday to mine to my wallet then after that it should auto switch back to my friends wallet.

For the time being I have to manually close & run between 2 .bat files, so i'm wondering is there anyway to make my life easier.

We're running on Windows 10, I'm not familiar with Linux at all.

Hi, thanks for replying. If I install 2 instance of Claymore, then it would be mining all the time to both wallet, I just wish for the onwer's claymore to stop for 1 day every week. I have plans for the future that i might use that one day to mine something else other than ETH but for the time being its only ETH.

The farm has 40 over rigs, doing it manually is kinda tiring.

Hello all,

I have some strange behavior with 1 graphic card.
Over time, the Mh / s of 1 card drops down by about 7 Mh / s.
When I restart Claymore, the Mh / s continues to hold the low value.

After a restart of the rig, the Mh / s is back to its normal values.

There are 6 identical cards (AMD RX580) and all with the same values overclocked, i'm using the latest drivers and Claymore 11.7. Windows 10.
