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

[herrdrone]

It looks like we cannot use claymore miner after 1 or 2 dags.

Best thing about this miner is -straps command, i will probably change my miner, my question is 'is there any other miner which i can use -straps command, my cards are amd rx 570&470 8 gb

Second question;

I tried a lot of rom for my cards but every time i had a problem, how can i find which straps claymore is using, so i can flash my cards after claymore miner dies.

Try PhoenixMiner.

It all started with Eliovp's AMD Tweak to change/modify straps on the fly: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5123724.0

Later, Claymore added this tool to its miners as well as others.

Did anyone tried claymore on new ETChash algorithm? maybe it works..

i really donno why you are struggling with windows os when is so simple on linux distros, and there's still no issue with the 4gb dag size at this point
just try it, make an USB, and let it run for a day, than you'll see the difference on your example
you have nothing to lose

And how long you have no problems with your 4gb cards on linux? right around 1 month. So why i should change my OS to linux for 4 weeks? right senseless.

Windows is more userfriendly, Windows is stable as Linux, Windows use less electricity and there are much more things. It is a religion question, but i can´t hear this fucking linux guy´s anymore: "linux is the best, stupid windows, we can´t stop windows updates" and so on 

And by the way i use windows and linux.

For older cards it is impossible to get high speed under windows. For example with 390 you get 17 Mh, with 280x 9Mh. The problem is that with the increase of the dag file, windows drivers can't handle this well. There are multiple plug and play OS using linux kernels. Some of them are free, others have 2-3$ cost per month. With them I get 30Mh for 390 and 28 Mh for 280x.

Regarding the new cards. I used to have windows 10 rigs for 3-4 years. First of all, it takes several days, if not weeks to install everything and tune the cards. I had so many problems with crashes that damaged windows files, not to mention the updates, which for the most part can be turned off, but it is another week of wasted time digging into the registry and finding the right tool with google. And one day the windows of one of my rigs died completely. I had ssd which shouldn't get bad sectors, but there were some serious mistakes on the boot and system files that no tool available could repair. I lost several days trying to recover windows with no luck. In the past I've recovered the system may be 10 times but not this time. Then I decided to look for linux based system. Found smos, read about it for 1 hour, installed on a flash for 15 mins, put it in the rig and voilà! It worked! Then I needed only 15 mins to OC the cards and boost them with the tools of this OS. So I switched all my rigs to smos. I have also rigs with HiveOs - somewhat more complicated but free for one rig on any pool, or for several rigs if mining on hiveos pool.

These OS are regularly updated and you have all available miners to test, while it will take much longer to find them googling. So it is not only about the 1 month extra time for 4Gb cards. Although it matters a lot for those who make (tens or hundreds of) thousands per month, since eth is over 2x more profitable than the rest coins after the etc fork. And of course with the browser I have complete control of the rigs and the cards. I can flash their bioses with ease, etc... There is just no reason to mine with windows, unless one has the newest cards and for some reason it can't be tuned with the existing linux OS's. (I know also about ethos, raveos and others but I haven't tried them all.)

^I would like to add only this:

try, the worst case scenario is that you will run again your rig on windows, so there's nothing to lose here, a ~10 min job per rig, to test another way to do it

Claymore where are u?

[JMK]

Truly feels like the end of an era. Thanks for the lovely years of mining claymore, you will be missed by many.

Completely true... it was the beginning of the big minning... but now it is out of date... time to change to something more new and with support...

For the mix Rig with low fee best option now is lolMiner...

Using NBMiner for nVidia and PhoenixMiner for AMD cards.

lolMiner missing templimit ... I'm balancing beatween silence and temp and need templimit parameters on miner ...

I don't mind the honestly won millions but
I don't understand people that accept to be lied: you have been charged 1.3% when it is clearly stated that you should be charged 1%.

Oh, another newbie states that I'm a thief. I don't care when you get crazy numbers like 39 or 19M$, you can even call me the richest person of this planet, I don't mind.
But if you call me a thief and state that I lie about devfee rate, show some proofs.

Oops, Sorry. I am in mistake. Your devfee is honest but your hashrate is fake with about 1.5% higher. Everybody can see that by subtracting the pool hash rate from your hashrate doesn't gives 1% (devfee) difference but gives about 2.5% which means that your real hashrate is about 1.5% lower.

So you were talking about fake devfee rate 1.3%, now it's fine but there is fake hashrate 1.5%, right? Where do you take these numbers? Ok, probably you have own good source of them.
From my experience, I always see a couple of percents fluctuations in hashrate on pool side, and usually it's a bit less than miner shows because miner shows raw hashrate, i.e. it ignores devfee, stale and invalid shares, startup time, dag creation file and other minor things. But pool has to calculate miner's speed from shares only so there is some small error rate there, always. And hashrate that you see on the pool is "final" hashrate, it's always a bit lower.
Anyway, if you don't like hashrate that you see, or don't believe it - just use some other miner that shows better numbers or numbers that you believe. I even saw reports like "I tried miner X and now I see +10% shares on pool", so some people think that they get a lot more than 1.5% after changing miner You can try this way too and find the best miner for you, no one forces you to use my miner if you don't like it.
PS. I assume that you don't use "devfee cut" tools or cracks, in this case miner really may show some fake hashrate, read Readme for details.

Forget the network connections and pools. I really have my own great source of data - it's called common sense. Just take all the shares (accepted + incorrect + rejected) from your log and the averaged stated speed (this needs some elementary programming skills - not applicable to 99.5% of the people who will read this) also from your log for a statistically long enough period (a week, a month or more). Use some basic math (I am not gonna give free math lessons here) having in mind the difficulty of the pool and if you have applied the math properly you will easily find that the stated hashrate is about 1.5% higher than the real one. As easy as pie.

You are correct, everybody can examine the logfile and find some better miner if don't like the results.
As easy as pie.

I dont know why Claymore spend time to answer thos people just have words and no DATA to proff. Btw I dont see where it say YOU HAVE TO USE this miner! I hope Claymore come back with new release.

Anyone Claymore suddenly with DAG error?  just now?
My rig down with this error for all card, all sudden can't mine eth now?



GPU# - not enough GPU memory to place DAG, you cannot mine this coin with this GPU

[dwdhu]

Claymore miner died.

I am actively working on a solution to keep straps, rxboost and more optimizations working with other miner apps.

[aclass]

This works for combining Claymore straps and whichever other miner you choose

Claymore miner died.

I am actively working on a solution to keep straps, rxboost and more optimizations working with other miner apps.

The solution already exists: Run Claymore with straps and rxboost to mine some ETH shitcoin with small DAG or in benchmark mode for epoch < 350. After that switch off all GPUs and run the other (Phoenix)Miner.

Same here ! With 8GB GPU cards.
Do we really need to change miner ? Claymore has been a really good help till now

Yes. This is the solution.
Its good for 1-2 miner but for mining farms with 10-100+ miner its not an option.
I'm working on fully automate the process.

[aclass]

There is no need for anything more. Just run the two miners on startup and that's it.

I am running like in the video a bit above and it's perfect.

Yes you will if you want to continue mining ETH or ETC... ETC you should changed or you are unable to mine, for the new algo, and ETH you will have really soon because it is only able to mine to a limit EPOCH Claymore. So you should new to look for a new miner...

If you want a mix Solution that it is able to mine for Nvidia and AMD one of the best solution is lolMiner... it will also let you mine BEAM or Equihash, in case there are big movements in the coins.

All 18 of my Rx580 8gb cards stopped mining ethereum with Claymore a few hours ago. I have 21 Nvidia 1070 ti cards that can still mine with Claymore.

I've been able to get some of the rigs working with TeamRedMiner. One is giving me an issue and I am resetting the machine. The rigs have a mix of 1070 ti and rx580 cards.

This really sucks because I am using the rigs to heat the house and now I have to run the furnace until I get it all straightened out. Thanks Claymore! Or maybe he died?

What I liked about Claymore was Ethmanager which allowed me to quickly and easily survey the health and operations of all the GPU's in my rigs.

Would be nice if Claymore updated his software soon so 8 GB RX580 cards can continue to mine ETH with Claymore.
