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

[br2459]

Tried to mine, but always getting
13:08:12:540   1288   Setting DAG epoch #385 for GPU0
13:08:12:540   1288   Create GPU buffer for GPU0
13:08:12:548   1288   CUDA error - cannot allocate big buffer for DAG. Check readme.txt for possible solutions.

4GB video ram, 8 gb ram, 32 gb virtual memory isnt enough?

If I am not mistaken, the fix is to allow cards with 6GB or 8GB to continue using Claymore's miner. ETH dag is larger than 4GB now so 4GB cards still won't work.

You can still mine with 4GB cards with a special miner software called lolminer. It has a method to somehow mine even if the DAG is larger than 4GB. Sounds amazing doesn’t it? Yes but there are a few issues.

One of them is that every new DAG the speed slows down by a large margin while consumption remains the same. The first DAG where Phoenix miner stopped working for me, I got 28.5mhs from my regular 29.5mhs. Now a few dags later and it’s down to 22mhs. Basically every dag it slows down by 1mhs or so. So good for maybe another month and then time to upgrade the GPUs.

Phoenix miner too is now working with 4GB (similar to lolminer) I run it on linux with my old 4GB cards.

Claymore Dev is not dead just changed its name to Phoenix Dev It's just the same person just a different name I guess Best wishes for 2021 people ....

that's a quite funny guess if you'll take this into account - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2647654.msg31316061#msg31316061

no it isn't on windows. Out of memory, 4.02 gbytes allocation...

In Windows lolMiner is working, and you have the bat file to use It... The speed each Epoch will get reduced in All miners but you are still able to mine ETH with 4Gb in Windows

Ok just to summarize, so the latest Claymore release was a while ago and the easiest route here is just use gminer release 3 days old though some others will work also.  For the moment claymore itself needs an update.  I'll have a look at the epochs mod also from this vid - https://vimeo.com/495752694
I guess its already known but I have 36gig commit, 16gb physical and 8gb on the card and either way it does require an update afaik

no, it isn't  

Done (3533 ms), size of new DAG: 4104 MByte
-------------------------------------------------------
GPU 0: insufficient memory for DAG epoch 385.

no matter what is set in --4g-alloc-size no effect.

My 44 570s-4gb are still working at 24mhs on linux.  If its not working on your end...keep working on it.  In fact just spun up an old 550-4gb card...its running at 11mhs.  Ill let them run until they cross the next best coin which right now means 12mhs is switch over point for me.

Hi,
If you would like to use Claymore's straps, rxboost and other optimizations with your another miner please see my new app.

Guys, tell me what the problem is and if there is already an official solution? Miner version 15, pool nanopool. When I start the miner, I get an error "Pool sent wrong data, cannot set epoch". GPUs - GTX 1070 8 GB with the latest drivers installed.

Claymore is outdated, please use Phoenixminer or other up to date ETH miner software.

Default Claymore ETH Miner v15.0 only supports up to 384 DAG epoch, and the miner stopped working already. You can use my More Epochs mod for Claymore miner, check https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5305046.0, the mod adds support of DAG epochs up to 500 so you can continue to use legendary Claymore ETH miner!

percy_tc, Just_a_miner Thanks guys. Had to turn off mining for 10 days due to the need to move around the country during the holidays. When I returned home, I was very surprised by this situation. Now I will have to use phoenix-miner.

Completely true... there are lot of options for Mix Rigs... or for specific... for Mix Rigs with lolMiner the improves in Watts is really good...

Plus better to support active devs of mining software then to support somebody leaching off claymores work.  So TRM / PM / LOL / Gminer / Nbminer  all better to support.  They support the mining community.  Also note i havent lost any speed since moving off Claymore...all the miner devs have stepped up thier game.

If you want to continue using only claymore straps and rxboost, you can use this bat file

You just have to download PStools from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/pssuspend
just adjust the runforseconds to pause after claymore has added straps and rxboost

Code:

@echo off
echo -------------------------------------------------------------------
echo Simple script to use Claymores rxboost And straps By DrX
echo -------------------------------------------------------------------
echo:
set executable=EthDcrMiner64.exe
set executable2= MINER.EXE
set commandline= -dbg -1 -mport -0 -benchmark 1 -strap 1 -rxboost 1
set commandline2= MINER COMMANDS
set runforseconds=20
set restartinseconds=10
set /a counter=0
timeout %restartinseconds%
set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
set GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
set GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
:start
start "Miner Window" %executable% %commandline%
echo:
echo The software will run for %runforseconds% seconds

pssuspend.exe %executable%

DrX thanks thats a much better solution than running code from unknown source.  Like i said i dont run Claymore anymore but for those that simply cant let go...this is the best solution ive seen for both earnings for the miner and for security of their rigs.

I don't think so. Years ago Claymore and somebody from Phoenixminer was arguing on Bitcointalk and accusing each other from copying kernels.

We still maintain and develop PBE and it supports most of the Polaris cards. Download from Github or build from source code.

hello All !!!!
i`m new in here
so ... my question is :
what miner shuld i use right now in this date 07.01.2021
i`ve readed that there are some problems with clymore or something like this some Scam/hack something like this


tonight i`ll put my rig all together (luky that i`ve bought gpu`s last month so prices were acceptable)
pls any suggestion or idea or anything is welcomed

It depends on what you intend on mining. Most people mining ETH are using lolminer, team red miner or Phoenix miner.
