• Klaust's CCMiner also supports the SiaMining Stratum!

can u give me example, if it works

[Claymore]

Sample .bat for dual mining, don't forget to change wallet addresses:

Code:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethpool.org:3333 -ewal 0xD69af2A796A737A103F12d2f0BCC563a13900E6F.YourWorkerName -epsw x -dpool "http://siamining.com:9980/miner/header?address=3be0304dee313515cf401b8593a0c1df905ed13f0adaee89a8d7337d2ba8209e5ca9f297bbc2&worker=YourWorkerName" -dcoin sia

Hi xurious,
Just mined at siamining for an hour, could you please inform me how to reduce the rejections? Seems like the rejections on my cards is really worst, do i have to set anything on my config?
This is my new wallet address to mine at: be518d988db409854dec0c824e8749b1b496b7e65b103a2d44b2a6dede10a13b183e175162e4
Appreciate for your help.

Thanks.

Are you using AMD? Update your drivers. GoMiner likes 16.4+ drivers.

It will be staying at 2000 SC for the foreseeable future.

The next one was expected at 2016-07-12 07:25 UTC, the unpaid balance was ~2400. But there is no payout yet...

upd: payout was triggered at 09:25 UTC. Is it every 8 hours now?

With a huge influx of users we had to catch up on payments a little bit. Now that the hashrate has settled, we are back to normal.

Hi xurious,
Is there any tips for nvidia cards? Got big rejection with nvidia with latest cuda driver.
Thank You.

Not sure. What is your setup like? Which miner? Windows or Linux? Driver? Etc.

[xurious]

Attention! We've added a small update to GoMiner to improve the rate of invalids some miners see. Please update as soon as possible. Links for the binaries are as follows:

Windows: http://siamining.com/files/gominer/win64/gominer.exe

Linux: http://siamining.com/files/gominer/linux-amd64/gominer.tar.gz

In different news, we are working on a true stratum implementation! Which will be more scalable and versatile than a 'getwork over tcp' sort of approach.

it is possible to mine on SIA with a BTC address so all SIA get payed directly in BTC to a BTC address?

There are currently no plans to do rewards in any currency other than Sia.

I have not tried it, but doing payouts to https://shapeshift.io might work!

when will you offer a ready-to-use Windows 64 Stratum miner? I mean it is neither motivating nor professional that you promote "NEW! True Stratum Support" at your start page and then point out that I have to compile it by myself. I haven´t the know-how and I also don´t want to have it. It´s the pools job to serve the best software, not mine.

We just added this information minutes ago.

We offer the code for anyone to inspect and compile. It should be motivating we are continuing to improve the pool to serve you, the miners!

Certainly when a windows exectuable is compiled and ready, we will have it released.

Claiming it's unprofessional is ridiculous. Releasing an untested windows binary would be unprofessional.

Updated the OP with info on Stratum and stratum miners.

[Termie]

your SGminer don´t work here with my AMD cards, which works fine with Gominer.

sgminer --algorithm=sia --url=stratum+tcp://siamining.com:3333 --userpass=(myAddress) -I 30

results in

[19:37:21] clDevicesNum returned error, no GPUs usable
[19:37:21] All devices disabled, cannot mine!

You need to append "--GPU-Platform 1" to your command.

[Termie]

ok thank you, with "--gpu-platform 1" (lower case) it works.

But SGminer don´t impress me at the moment. At only slightly higher (but more constant) hashrate compared to Gominer, the whole miner hardware takes more power (+10W at my R9 Nanos, +20W at my R9 290x), also CPU load raises permanetly up to 33% (Gominer 0-4% most of time). So I hope that a upcoming version will make it better. For now I´ll stay at Gominer. This just as little feedback.
