[ms147]

Hi all,
I am currently using Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.5 and it is running alright, is there a NEED for me to update & use the latest version ?

Thanks.

Thanks.

An old rule that is followed

" If aint Broke, Don't fix it"

cheers!

haha true that, was just wondering if by updating i would be mining more efficiently or not haha
Cheers anyway. thanks

Noone knows ?

     Claymore please support "lyra2z" !     

[CarlosR]

Someone knows the parameters of the bat file, so claymore 11.x behaves just like claymore 10.
I get better hashrate reported but worse current hasrate  (ethermine).

oldkernels 1 seems dont solve the problem.

[whoismoses]

I've read through the readme, maybe I am missing something. Is there a command line switch to select the pools.txt file?

[Vann]

In Claymore you set the main ETH pool with the -epool parameter in the .bat file or in a config.txt file.  If you have different pools you use, you can specify different configuration file names with the -epool to use in the .bat file you use to launch the miner.

CONFIGURATION FILE

You can use "config.txt" file instead of specifying options in command line.
If there are not any command line options, miner will check "config.txt" file for options.
If there is only one option in the command line, it must be configuration file name.
If there are two or more options in the command line, miner will take all options from the command line, not from configuration file.
Place one option per line, if first character of a line is ";" or "#", this line will be ignored.
You can also use environment variables in "epools.txt" and "config.txt" files. For example, define "WORKER" environment variable and use it as "%WORKER%" in config.txt or in epools.txt.

I have been running Sapphire Pulse RX570 4G and RX580 8G GPU's for the past year using the Claymore dual miner (Win10 Pro) w/o any issues until a few days ago.  Same problem on 4 different rigs.  Any help will be much appreciated.

Perhaps try rolling back recent Windows updates.

Alternatively, DDU your AMD drivers and install the most recent Adrenaline driver.   Consider uninstalling and reinstalling Afterburner to the most recent version as well.


It's strange that your hash rates are so low though.


Best of luck!

I'm using older version of the Claymore Miner - you think that could the cause for sudden hasharate drop??

I would certainly try using the newest version of Clamore, as well as mine on another pool.   Perhaps Ethermine or Nanopool.


I periodically do all the steps I mentioned above while using the latest version of Claymore on Nanopool.   I have no problems.



Another thought would be to search amazon for an HDMI dummy plug for each of your GPU's that are not connected to a monitor - something like this.   https://www.amazon.ca/Headless-Display-Emulator-Headless-1920x1080-generation/dp/B0732S6KG4?th=1




I'm sure that your issues can be solved with at least one, or a combination of things I have suggested.

Hi guys, I'm using 5 GTX 1060 6GB (ZOTAC AMP!) with the following variables and 16GB of page files.

GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

I'm mining with this server from january 2018 and until today I've no problem. During the claymore restart I noticed a strange error:

- CANNOT create dag file error 11 (something similar)

I tried to remove the updated driver and re-install the tested one: 372.54, but at the end I'm using -eres 0

Why is this necessary? I Read this:
-eres   this setting is related to Ethereum mining stability. Every next Ethereum epoch requires a bit more GPU memory, miner can crash during reallocating GPU buffer for new DAG.
   To avoid it, miner reserves a bit larger GPU buffer at startup, so it can process several epochs without buffer reallocation.
   This setting defines how many epochs miner must foresee when it reserves GPU buffer, i.e. how many epochs will be processed without buffer reallocation. Default value is 2.

So can I set to 1? or it's better 0?

Server spec:
- Windows 10 64Bit
- SSD 60GB
- 4GB RAM
- 5x GTX 1060 AMP Edition Zotac 6GB
- Claymore 10


As I said I've no problems until today. (What's -eres 0? Can someone explain this setting?)


EDIT:
This server is used in "Solo Mode" (Ethereum) with ethermine

What version did you use? If you used old version maybe that's the problem because I had this problem too, then I upgraded to the new version (not the latest) and the problem was gone. Maybe if you used old to try to change to the new one especially 11.9 has released

I also  got the same  problem  with  2  rigs  of  5   1080  ti   was  claymore  go  good  for  2  months  today  give  the  same   error  message  as  you   memory  dag  ca  not locate, I  try  to  set   baffer  seting   0   1   2   any  n.   will  no  work   

Have you tried using the newest Claymore which is 11.9? When I got this message I used the old one (Claymore v.10) If you haven't tried the new one you should try it.

[yhoga45]

Wondering if anyone is getting issues with the later versions using the same settings are earlier versions.

Basically I had to upgrade due to the DAG 200 bug and with version 11.7 I get freezing sometime within the first hour or so.

With the older version 9.8 I've never experienced this and I am using the same settings mining ETH on solo mode.

Only thing I've noticed is that the newer version is 0.15MHs faster and maybe this stresses the GPU further.

The kernels are different in newest versions.
It was advised that the old overclock/bios mods might be unstable.

"-oldkernels (AMD cards only) specify "-oldkernels 1" to use old-style GPU kernels from v10, they can be more stable for hard OC and custom BIOSes."

Lowering OC works in my case.

So, do you mean we don't need to overclock and bios mod for the new Claymore? I assume your GPU is bios mod, but how much are you lowering the overclock?

at what point does it crash?

Hello,
Sorry for my late answer. It actually recognizes all my cards. It crashes after Create DAG Epoch. I am attaching an image where the machine crashes.

Are they 3G cards and Windows 10? Will no longer work. Windows 10 takes up too much GPU memory and not enough room left for the DAG file.

no they dont.. i switched all my rigs to smos or hiveos for mining ethereum and etc with linux you can mine them till next year

Has anyone experienced the miner just auto-close the window after launching? Below is the screen below the window closes:

In Claymore you set the main ETH pool with the -epool parameter in the .bat file or in a config.txt file.  If you have different pools you use, you can specify different configuration file names with the -epool to use in the .bat file you use to launch the miner.

CONFIGURATION FILE

You can use "config.txt" file instead of specifying options in command line.
If there are not any command line options, miner will check "config.txt" file for options.
If there is only one option in the command line, it must be configuration file name.
If there are two or more options in the command line, miner will take all options from the command line, not from configuration file.
Place one option per line, if first character of a line is ";" or "#", this line will be ignored.
You can also use environment variables in "epools.txt" and "config.txt" files. For example, define "WORKER" environment variable and use it as "%WORKER%" in config.txt or in epools.txt.

Vann - It is still not clear to me how to do this. For example, if I want to have two "epools.txt" files..

eth_epools.txt
aka_epools.txt

In my batch file... do I just use "-epool eth_epools.txt" instead of the actual address to my pool?

Edit: I tested out using the filename in the -epool switch... that doesn't work.

Maybe I should explain what I am trying to do... I want to have one folder with the latest Claymore in it to which I can reference with a few batch files. I do this for xmr-stak....

My folder structure will be...

..\Claymore\ <-- will contain all my start_xxx.bat files and my xxx_epools.txt
..\Claymore\Claymore-latest\ <-- will have the latest source for claymore

I'd like for my batch files to be able to just reference the epools.txt files so I can just copy the new claymore files into the "Claymore-latest" folder once without having to do it a bunch of times. If I want to have multiple coins use the same claymore source and want to use the epools.txt file. I need a way to specify this file.

[Vann]

You should specify the main ETH pool to mine at with the -epool parameter e.g. -epool ssl://eu1.ethermine.org:5555. Either in a config.txt file or directly in the batch file. epools.txt is the ETH failover pools file for the miner to switch to whenever the main pool goes down and dpools.txt is the secondary coin failover pools for when you are dual mining.

If you want to use different -epool pools as the main ETH pools, you can create different config files with the -epool to use and specify a config file name in the batch file when staring the miner.

e.g. start_claymore_config1.bat

@ECHO off
CLS
COLOR 3F
TITLE %~nx0
CD "C:\Miners\Claymore-latest"
EthDcrMiner64.exe Claymore\config1.txt <-------- This has first main -epool pool

--------------------------------

e.g. start_claymore_config2.bat

@ECHO off
CLS
COLOR 3F
TITLE %~nx0
CD "C:\Miners\Claymore-latest"
EthDcrMiner64.exe Claymore\config2.txt <-------- This has second main -epool pool

etc.

You can also specify different failover epools.txt files with the -epoolsfile parameter in the config file or batch file e.g -epoolsfile Claymore\epoolsfile1.txt, -epoolsfile Claymore\epoolsfile2.txt, etc.

You can also specify different failover epools.txt files with the -epoolsfile parameter in the config file or batch file e.g -epoolsfile Claymore\epoolsfile1.txt, -epoolsfile Claymore\epoolsfile2.txt, etc.

This is exactly what I am looking for. Is this documented somewhere that I've missed?

I normally specify the pool as part of the startup in the batch file... I just also want to specify the fail-over pools... which is why I want to do this.

Edit... Oh boy, I see it in the first post now that I know what to look for.
