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

[sirisacm]

THE SECONDARY COINS HAVE DIFFERENT ALGORITHMS--

Each algorithm will place a different workload on the GPU.  I mined Siacoin with Claymore when it was a new coin, and earned about 10% more than just single-mining ETH.  That kind of return is no longer possible.  Also, I think one of my R9 280X cards burned out as a result of dual-mining.

When dual-mining, you will need to play with the mining intensity for both the primary and secondary coins.  Some secondary coins/algorithms will tax the GPU to a greater extent, as you have discovered.  The "dcri" value will need to be adjusted.       --scryptr

thanks! I gave up mining SCC. if it was SIA it was something else, but now I'm back to DCR, which doesn't affect the ETH hashrate.

any chance to recover the SCC sent to a SIA wallet?

NO--

Short answer.  Unless there is a way to produce a duplicate address with a wallet you own.       --scryptr

Hello, I have had to format the pc and claymore hangs up and shows blue screen (error cmdrv64.sys) after showing "driver installed succesfully" ,  if no -strap 1 option no hang up but the hashrate is slower, so I need the strap 1

Two questions on one of my ETH only Claymore 15 rigs:

1.  One GPU seems to fail as follows:

08:27:09:959   6a0   watchdog - thread 8 (gpu4), hb time 344
08:27:09:960   6a0   watchdog - thread 9 (gpu4), hb time 16
08:27:09:962   6a0   watchdog - thread 10 (gpu5), hb time 73344
08:27:09:963   6a0   WATCHDOG: GPU 5 hangs in OpenCL call, exit
08:27:09:964   6a0   watchdog - thread 11 (gpu5), hb time 73031
08:27:09:968   6a0   WATCHDOG: GPU 5 hangs in OpenCL call, exit
08:27:10:095   1b44   Quit, please wait...
08:27:17:231   6a0   Restarting OK, exit...

any suggestion on what could be the problem?  tried -50 up to -120 mv adjustment and +/- power settings to no avail.

2.  I have a number of data.bin and data*.bin and data*.bin2 files in the claymore directory.    Can I delete some of them?  What is causing that to happen?

Thanks.

Hello all, need some help mining ETC please. Been mining for 12 hours now without any info on my miner showing on the mining pool?

https://etc.ethermine.org/miners/3fC8F4db92162c3AEbe3b9a65fe7eAdD1C1b7b43/dashboard

this is my config file

-epool eu1-etc.ethermine.org :4444
-ewal 0x3fC8F4db92162c3AEbe3b9a65fe7eAdD1C1b7b43
-epsw x

getting 36mhs with a gtx1080 and nearly 300 accepted shares and no rejections according to the miner window.

any ideas? thanks in advance!

Hello. Well, it seems you use ETH address ( https://etherscan.io/address/0x3fC8F4db92162c3AEbe3b9a65fe7eAdD1C1b7b43) to mine ETC. Dont do that.

OK good point haha I've changed it to https://etc.ethermine.org/miners/F19c0645eAeE2a183E519a4b51B974Bf58De2545/dashboard

Still not showing as active though?

any ideas?

startup string , and logs ( stored in miner's dir) could help a little
Please provide it here

Hello, I can't mine ETC after 350 epoch by Claymore 15.0  
My Hash Rate is 1-1.5 mhs (RX470 4GB)
PhoenixMiner 5.0b works perfectly, but Claymore does not work. Any ideas ?

Hello !
1. Switch to iGPU if exists.
or
2. Put GPU with more VRAM in 1st slot (GPU0)
or
3. Use PM

P.S. Its bkz OS eats VRAM from first GPU ( about 350Mb) so present DAG file cant suite to VRAM.

Point 1. and 2. can make you run until 352-th (inclusively) epoch. Point 3. can make you run until 373-th epoch. If your GPU is not primary windows is not consuming memory on it and you have all 4.29 GB (not GiB = 1024 ^ 3) for mining.

try -eres 0 on benchmark on 353 epoch, to see that it won't help

I have change to PPS+ ETH, but I cannot connect, where I'm making the mistake…

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu.crazypool.org:3333 -ewal <MyWallet>.<RigName>/<Referral> -epsw x -esm 3 -allpools 1 -allcoins 1 -retrydelay 20 -tt 1 -tstop 75 -ttli 73 -tstart 55 -r 1 -mode 1 -y 1 -gser 0 -allpools 1 -showdiff 1


It was working perfect before on the PPS+ ETC:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu.crazypool.org:7000 -ewal <MyWallet>.<RigName>/<Referral> -epsw x -esm 3 -allpools 1 -allcoins 1 -retrydelay 20 -tt 1 -tstop 75 -ttli 73 -tstart 55 -r 1 -mode 1 -y 1 -gser 0 -allpools 1 -showdiff 1



Many thanks in advance...

I'd suggest you to lower your gpu and mem clock and their volts as well
My GPU5 was also showing me this error, look how I resolved its problem.

-cclock 1150,1150,1000,1140,1150,1100(was 1150)
-cvddc 850,850,800,850,850,825(was 850)
-mclock 2000,2070,1500,1980,2060,1980(was 2020)
-mvddc 850,850,800,850,850,825(was 850)

Another tip I can give you is to enable rebooting system whenever GPU hangs, especially if your rig is not physically reachable, because it can freeze your system and reboot will be needed.

So whats a good second coin to mine at the moment ?

Don’t bother. All 2nd coins supported by Claymore (or others) are being sucked by ASIC giants.

This dual mining, was useful a few years ago - but their developers never bothered to tell customers not to waste their time anymore.

Now, any ETH mining software would do. Just find the cheaper or free tools around.

So claymore finally peaced out with his 10's of millions in eth dev donations huh. Im surprised he stuck around so long after 2017 anyway
