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

[DrG]

Hi guys, hope you are doing well today.

Wanted to know, any chance to ask Claymore to update his drvfee address? As Dwarfpool is not working anymore his mining configuration may be affecting the mining process and dropping the hashrate more than it should. I don't know if that's just me, but in my case the hashrate drops significantly everytime the rig wants to connect to his Dwarfpool mining address as the pool is not working anymore. Anyone can let him know? please.

We asked him to fix this many times in the past. I also had issues with the Dwarfpool dev fee issues. I also had other issues where it fails to mine on the dev fee pool and eventually stops mining all together because the software thinks you are trying to cheat it. Very annoying because it causes the rigs to do a full hang and require a cold restart.

Last time he was active in this thread was Nov 2019, he was usually very active in the past, even when he didn't make updates. Now I think he might be retired from developement. He made crazy gains since his miner was the only decent software during the 2017 market boom and probably saved up tons of ETH and just living on an island somewhere.

I supposed something like that. So, we are using an out of date software that is not being maintained and is causing problems due to the developer lack of commitment. Is he even alive? I can't believe someone could just let the golden eggs chicken and just leave. Anyway, hope he fixes the problem.

Thanks for letting me know...

There are plenty of other capable miners that mining as well if not better than Claymore (at least on the pool reported hashes end). Just because a miner says it's giving a high rate doesn't neccessarily mean it is performing the best. A lot of lazy miners don't bother looking to make sure the pool side is reflecting what the terminal side says. If dual mining was still viable this miner would be decent but those days have for the most part passed.

I compiled Ethminer https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/blob/master/docs/BUILD.md and it works. But I did have to change ethminer/libethash-cuda/CMakeLists.txt to ignore old (sm_30-35 that don't work with CUDA 11) and add new 86 architecture (list(APPEND CUDA_NVCC_FLAGS "-gencode arch=compute_86,code=sm_86")).

What hashrate does Ethminer give you for the 3080?

86.5. For 2080 Ti with +300 mem OC it's 52.7.

Was 86.5 mh the fastest you could get with Ethminer?

Islands that programmers go to usually have internet connection. Wasting a ton of money like that, I would rather guess he's not alive anymore, or imprisoned. Or maybe lost his hands, eyes, whatever. Of course, these things have very low base likelihood, but other options just don't make any logical sense I can think of.

I didn't do any additional OC outside of what manufacturer did yet. Only power limiting. I'd guess it can do a bit more. Especially since 3090 mem has a lil bit higher frequency and it's based on same memory modules from what I know.

Others were getting around ~100 mh at around ~250watts for the 3080 when overclocked, but these were on various non-open source miners. It'll be interesting to see what Ethminer can do with the 3080 overclocked.

True. Got to 100 with OC. Mem running at amazing 21200 MHz. Fantastic card. My 2080 ti maxed out at something like 58.

Hi, thanks for your response. In my case it is not about lazy it's about knowledge. I will search for new miners then. It is a shame Claymore has this problems, it is a very good software. Any chance you could point the name of some better software you are aware of?

Thanks a lot.

Honestly I've been following Claymore for years and he seems like a good individual. I don't think he is in jail or dead. He made so much money legally why would he resort to crime, doesn't make sense.

However very strange to just disappear like that. Very unprofessional. Many developers in Crypto in the past when they stopped developement they usually stated why and just left, instead of just becoming a ghost.

He loses money due to this simple fix and wonder how rich he must be not to want the extra income.

[Metroid]

I don't think he is in jail or dead.

As everything in crypto is hidden with many keys, we probably we will never know why he disappeared. The most probable reason is, yeah, he is dead, many months already and this is not due to covid, his eth in fees is untouched.

[wishxy]

Does anybody have a problem with ultra low hashrate on ETH mining with 4GB GPU?

What are his dev mining addresses again? I am too lazy to start the miner and fetch them. From what I remember he used something like a Coinbase address for his fees so impossible to tell if he hodl'd the coins or sold them immediately.

If you are right, then it is rather odd that his ETH is untouched when ETH went to almost $500 a few months back. Really irresponsible not to at least take some profit off the table at $500 when we dipped below $100 a few times in the past.

Your GPU is running out of memory due to growing dag. Switch to Linux and use Phonixminer instead and it will work for another 1 month and then you can't mine ETH anymore.

Yes, do not download anything from EthereumPill github

Virus Trojan?

the original ethpill (in the OP) has been removed. the new ones are malware/virus

from what i understand the straps option (might be called something else?) now in claymore largely accomplishes the same thing.

[ermis1975]

I run that pill! I dont know what to check. But the antivirus remove the file.

[john1010]

Hello, pls help me, when i run Claymore, get error - not enough virtual memory, how can I increase it?

You need to add more virtual memory in your PC:

1. Go to Computer property
2. Click advance system settings
3. Under Performance click settings
4. click advance
5. click change
6. untick the " Automatic manage paging size for all drives " box
7. check the custom size
8, then put 45000 in initial size (MB)
9. then put 60000 in maximum size (MB)

you have now an enough virtual memory.

Restart your rig.


cheers!

Again and again, the admin of this section warn every members to avoid to bump or quote the topic or post related to that pill,

THIS APPS IS DANGEROUS AND IT CAN BE HARMFUL TO YOUR WALLET or ANY CRYPTOS THAT INSTALLED to your computer, or it might be HIJACK all your minted coin.

I guess it is 0xd69af2a796a737a103f12d2f0bcc563a13900e6f which can be found on the first post of this thread sixteen times.

I checked the transactions and it seems the last time he sent any ETH from that address was back in May 2019, so its very strange where he has been away so long. Another reason could be that maybe he is just hodling these coins and wants to sell when >$1000 or so.

However he sold the coins back in May 2019 because its when it recovered from the $80 low. It was $80 back in Dec 2018 and in May it went to $250. Then a few weeks later it went even higher. And last month ETH went even higher than that at almost $500. So it doesn't make sense why he didn't sell.

100 ETH isn't really that much money so who knows. That address might be one of his "chump change" accounts and he is just letting it sit.

I think that address can't be his main address for all the fees, so low amount of ether.

Its hard to say what happened, maybe coding these miners were too hard for him mentaly and she/he just had to stop... I hope he/she is happy now somewhere
And maybe just watching us without login in or with logged in with another account, you never know...

[ermis1975]

I just install one card AMD 5700 XT and claymore finds 2 AMD cards. Why? How can I fix that?

You can have more Hashrate with the RTX 3080 and without DevFee with TT-Miner…
