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

[jimsta]

it took some time since I was in game, Is it still possible to mine ethereum on gtx 1060 3 gb ? Im still getting an error with DAG size.

Unless you are mining ETH for some ideological reasons, it would be more profitable for you to mine something else, e.g. BTG, with autoexchange to ETH. And no need to switch to win 7 or linux.

are you referring to any particular auto-switching mining platform or just setting to mine BTG in the .bat file? It seems like a lot of work to have to switch to what is doing best each week and nobody knows if BTG will sustain at a higher earning ratio than ETH. I do hope you can correct me here though...

He's probably referring to mining BTG at Miningpoolhub and do autoexchange to Eth.

Or Use Awesome miner, and point to a Yiimp Pool

You can use MiningPoolHub. They will automatically switch you to the most profitable coin for mining at the moment and auto-exchange to any coin you like (no hustle, they do your exchange). And it's not about  "what is doing best each week", it's about "what is doing best each block". Up until recently mining equihash with Nvidia was more profitable than ETH. They would autoswitch you between BTG, ZCL, ZEC and ZEN. But due to recent asics introduction to equihash and fork of BTG, BTG fell out of traditional equihash autoswitch and is now a standalone coin with its own equihash variant; still though the most profitable coin to mine most of the time. There are plenty of options of what to mine (coins), how to mine (miners) and where to mine (pools) - do your research and calculations.

Be careful choosing a withdrawal coin - consider transaction fees. BTC is not a good choice.

i like this, but it seems that the TDP would be highly variable and create more stress on the GPUs... right? i suppose this is just nicehash 2.0?

Can I mine with this mining software also on CPU ?
I would like to mine ETC on my CPU. Yeah I know it is not profitable 

NO

If you are interested in mining with CPU only then there are lots of other coins that are CPU mineable - Google is your friend
Here is a thread discussing CPU minable coins that might be of interest to you.

Yeah I already have a good coin to mine with my cpu but is was just a random question.
Thanks guys

Dont mine at yiimp style pools guys, they are prop pools (for the most part).  That means that you will lose 15-20% due to pool hoppers.

Good suggestion!

You get a +1 from me on that, I never liked yiimp style pools. I found it to be a bit of a PITA to configure a miner and then I wasn't sure I was mining the right coin (tried a couple coins then dumped yiimp pool for a PPLNS pool).

hehe Thanks.  Yeah well I mean pool hoppers arent on all coins.  Some yiimp pools have a very large % of found blocks for some small coins, so there is no real harm in mining those.  For reference its relatively easy to set up a yiimp pool if you want to have your own private pool.  And for setting up your mine just use this format for password
-p rig_name,d=DIFFICULTY,c=COIN_NAME   

So that gives you as an example -p 1080ti,d=8,c=BTC
But exchanging to btc might not be the best idea.

me too. but 11.9 is still churning away.. if we ain't broke... i mean if IT ain't broke.

Is there even any need for another update? v11.9 is working all good for me.

hi, i have 3 rigs with 6 cards on each. asrock h81 btc pro with 6x rx580's bios modded and are all running at 31mh/s per card. i noticed tonight i have 1 rig with all 6 cards giving just 16 mh/s each. i restarted the rig but it's still the same. any ideas what that could be??

If you are on Windows, check to see if Compute mode is turned on. Also check if Windows update updated the drivers by itself. You can disable driver updates in gpedit to keep Windows Update from modifying your drivers.

gpedit ==> Navigate to: Computer Configuration ==> Administrative Templates ==> Windows Components ==> Windows Update and set 'Do not include drivers with Windows Update' to enabled.

thanks sofar. i am using win 10 and i haven't found a way to disable updates. i have a copy of enterprise which i believe does give you the option to turn off updates. i'll check the drivers tomorrow

check if there was any Windows update that has ruined your blockchain drivers, or what drivers are you using

you can also try to modded them back to stock, install the last driver and put them all to compute mode and "play" with the afterburer or with the -cclock - mclock -cvddc -mvddc to get them back to 31mhs

but it has to be a driver issue....

https://bitsonline.com/ether-2-eth-block-reward/
Devs agreed on 2 ethers per block reward instead of 3 as it is now. This will happen with the coming fork in October together with a delay of the difficulty bomb by a year. Last November happened something similar, if I recall correctly. Then the reduced time for a block compensated the miners, so we got the same profit at the end. I hope it will be the same situation this October, or else the mining will end for those with expensive electricity.

Prepare to see a big GPU sell-off.

I'm now going to turn into a gamer. Is there any high-end game that requires 12 high-end GPU's at once and works with only 2 GB RAM + Pentium processor?

LOL

A couple days ago I was laughing on this post. But here comes the day when mining is no longer profitable for me: doesn't cover my electricity bill.
RX 480, 580, GTX 1070 - all now scrap metal. Anyone wants to buy?
