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

[Binary100100]

Did you try increasing your virtual memory? I always heard that you should have a 1:1 for your combined card memory. So in your case I'd go with 64gb. On a 120GB hard drive that might be difficult. Personally I have 500GB SSD on each of my rigs. Maybe you can add another cheap SSD and just use that for VM?

You could also try just enabling one card at a time and see how many work?
Miner Properties > GPU Selection at the bottom > Use selected from list > (Select just one or two then hit OK) > See if it runs (stable.) If so, add another until it stops.

I also use Awesome Miner for all of my rigs and I'm not having any issues with Claymore 15. Alternatively, try PhoenixMiner. If you have the same problem then it's probably not with the software.

I got this sorted same day... Your solution was spot on, I have now set 40GB Virtual memory... worked a charm, much appreciated for the good info.

Good to hear and thanks for the reply.

Hi guys can someone please explain to me in detail how the achieve the best settings for etherium on Vega 64. I have been mining recently Monero, right before the fork and i cant have the same settings for Etherium. I have 2 rigs of 13 Vega 64 cards each. One is using one of the latest drivers 590MH and 2kw energy for the whole rig. Settings applied min stage 4 max stage 5 CPU clock on 900mv and memory 1090MHz on 890mv the other rig is hashing with power play tables with 18.5.2 driver with 490MH and 1.2kw energy for the whole rig. Can someone please share some information with me how to get the most out of my rigs, what drivers, settings, tools and miner configuration do i have to do. Thank you in advance

Try these settings: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5059817.msg53184125#msg53184125

~snip~

Use power play table to modify registry file, overdriveNtool to increase memory clock, followed by underclock and undervolt of core clock, then use AMDMemTweaker to apply weak settings for Vega 64 and run the miner. That should give you the best possible hash rate for it.

Hello does anyone can help me with a complete guide for dummies to star mining in ubuntu... i dont no nothing about terminal commands...

if you do not know much about the linux commands then just use the GUI as it is identical to windows
download the zip file
extract it
configure the bat file with your eth address pool server and execute the bat
thats all to it

With Claymore miner somehow. If I executed script first, clay turns off gpu1.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

sudo  nvidia-smi -pm 1 && sudo nvidia-smi -pl 80
nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:0]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[2]=800'
nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:1]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[2]=800'
nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:2]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[2]=800'
nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:3]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[2]=800'
nvidia-settings -a '[gpu:4]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[2]=800'

And I tested ethminer , gpu works fine.

it all seems fine to me
i am sorry as i cannot see whats wrong

Hi, how do you run a .bat file on ubuntu? it opens the text app... thats why ima asking for help

You see that statement "if you do not know much about the linux commands then just use the GUI as it is identical to windows" is not true Forget linux if you dont know nothing. You dont run bat file in linux, you run bash file. You must run it form terminal wiht command ./start.bash . You dont have Afterburner or similar programs for linux, you must do it all by yourself  through writing  scripts...

Yes, i know that thats why my first question was is someone had a guide to using claymore on ubuntu. I don't care about afterburner i applied my configuration from claymore.

Just access the claymore folder via command line and run the command looks something like this:

ethdcrminer64 -epool us1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal <wallet>.<worker> -epsw x

If you prefer headless linux miners, then give the simpleminingos (SMOS) a try.
It's mentioned in the OP, and it's simple and easy to use

I tried simplemining in another machine, since i installed simple mining in that rig the rig rebooted and never got to enter again so its off i dont know how to fix it.... I find that for something that you are going to pay they need to have better customer support.

Has anyone tested the new drivers AMD ?

[WhackOBill]

I lost fan control on an MSI 580 with the 19.12.2 version.  Once I reach the mid-60's, the fan control goes in reverse until it gets down to 13%.  Then the temp goes into the 70's, throttles, and eventually faults.  Even setting -fanmin won't stop it from dropping down into the teens.  I need to roll way on back.  I think fan control is one of the most iffy things about Claymore's miner.

Don't know if you guys have heard but apparently there is a fork coming up on New Years Day to delay the Ice age once again. For some reason I have no idea why they decided to make a hard-fork on a holiday which is celebrated in most of the world. They had issues with this before when they made a testnet launch on a weekend and they ran into issues since many devs took the weekend off. Most likely same will happen on New Years day with all the devs being hung over or passed out instead of watching the fork and taking action if there are any issues.

Anyways its going to bring the block times back to 13 seconds because we are currently at 17 seconds according to,
https://etherscan.io/chart/blocktime

So it should make mining slightly more profitable than currently which is record low mining profitability levels since maybe 2015.

Increase of blocktime from 13 to 17 seconds is reducing the amount of eth given out to miners by 3000 eth per day. :-)

it is sounds good.otherwise everything in these day terrible, profits down so much that i dont want even look at my rigs.30mhs = 0.25$ per day without electricity cost.

it will reduce the block time from the current 17 to the previous 13 per second
You understood it wrong 

it will create more ETH per mining hour
hoping that the price will remain the same or will go up, will give miners much more profit, but I'm seeing the scenario where ETH is going backwards with the value

I think that he wrote about current situation so 3k ETH/day are now lost (or not created) because of rising difficulty and block time.

Hi guys,

Have we need to update our miners to the 1 jan ETH fork?

[tg88]

Hi guys,

It will not affect mining software at all, If you are running an Ethereum client you will need to upgrade:

[adaseb]

Hi guys,

Depends.

I am assuming you are just mining thru a pool and the pool has to update their software, not you. Usually pools always do this ahead of time and they usually post on their blog or twitter feed that they are ready for the fork.

If you are mining solo then you will need to update your ethereum software, however I am assuming this doesn't apply to you. People rarely solo mine ethereum these days due to the huge hashrate. If you keep your ETH on your ethereum client however you will need to update if you plan on spending them, if you don't then you will just have sync issues until your update.
