Dual mining Ethereum and ZEC with decent speed!

[molitar]

Woot!  I increased my earnings big time now.

OS: Windows 7 64 bit
Miners: nheqminer_v0.3a, genoil-0.4.1, Claymore 8.0.7
nheqminer (CPU, R9 280x): = 37 Sol/s
genoil-0.4.1 (RX 480, R9 380x): = 21.78 Sol/s
Claymore (mining Eth): = 45.6 MH/s
Pools: Coinotron and Suprnova
CPU: AMD FX-8370 Eight-Core Processor

Claymore by itself 60 MH/s
nheqminer by itself 50 Sol/s

Total Mining now.  Ethereum: 45.6 MH/s   ZCash: 58.78 Sol/s.  

I actually increased over my solo mining of ZCash.

If you do not have older cards like R9 280x you may get by with just genoil-0.4.1 for GPU and nheqminer for CPU mining.

Ok now many will probably want to know what my start scripts are setup as so here you go.

My 3 start scripts for the mining

Code:

@echo off
set GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool coinotron.com:3344 -ewal <worker.name> -esm 2 -epsw <password> -allpools 1 -ethi 1,1,1
@echo on

Code:

genoil.exe -c zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -u <worker.name> -p <password> -g 1 2

Code:

nheqminer_suprnova.exe -u <worker.name> -p <password> -t 4 -od 0

You are making 37 on r9 280 , because your cpu makes 27sols and r9 280 makes 10?

Somewhere around that figure. Yes.

the newer RX cards are gangbuster for this.. cant believe you let the cat out of the bag. so lucrative right now

[thaiphamce]

so where can I find Claymore 8.0.7? plz send link to me

Well Claymore will be out in a day or two and will be much more optimized.  You really have to tweak the settings for your setup and doing that means you are not mining 100% so not sure how many are doing it themselves.  It depends on GPU mostly but I have 2 older ones so can't take real advantage of it and than our miners are poorly optimized right now.

[crazyearner]

SO are you mining on gpu on both or are you just mining gpu on eth and cpu on zcash?

[molitar]

On both.  I had to use two different ZCash miners as genoil that is optimized for AMD does not work with R9 280X cards    Otherwise I would of just did GPU on Genoil and CPU only on nheqminer. Ethereum is running on all 3 cards.

@Molitar, Thank you!  You are the man!  I'm now mining ZEC, ETH, and DECRED on same rig, still getting same sol rate with a lower ETH/DECRED rate, but still this is huge. A big thank you!  I thought it wasn't possible, but it's flying!  I think some donations are in order, addy?

I appreciate it.  Thanks and your welcome.  Either type of donation is fine.

I had a few glitches, but as smaxz noted "newer RX cards" work best.  My 390's and 280 crashed and weren't hashing as high.  So I reconfigured the Claymore file to run only the RX 470s, and they're each doing 12sol/s on ZEC, and 18Mh/s on ETH & SIA without crashing. Epic!

I sold all that I had in both ETH & ZEC to position myself with other alts.  I'll send you which ever one I receive a payout in first.  Thank you again!

[Kompik]

Anyone got it work with the gtx 1070? While mining ethereum the reported hashrate is 27 MH/s, but when i look on the nanopool website it is only about 2MH/s so the miner reports wrong numbers.

[Raja_MBZ]

I tried the dual mining but the hash rate crashes in both of the software regularly, so it's not good for me.

If Claymore can make out somehow dual mining of ZEC and ETH, it would be the best for us. It needs great optimization.

[smaxz]

out of curiosity are all your crashing miners running windows?

linux does occasionally report gpu's gone bad.. and also occasionally get constant stale shares, but just crtl-z or ctrl-c'ing out and restarting fixes everything.

Ubuntu 16.04 and debian so far.

Yes, windows 10.  I can get it to dual mine ZEC and ETH for a little while, but then the cards crash even when I only used the RX 470s.  I'll have to try ubuntu once things are more "normal" lol.  Thank you!

@smaxz & molitar, I should be getting a ZEC payout in a few hours, but I'll send you both.  Sorry, but my wife sold the ZEC deposit while I was sleeping.  This time I'm staying awake : )

[john1010]

Can you please provide the new claymore downlink? Thanks

[flipme]

Yeah! I found that out yesterday as well, works amazing, almost double profit.

@molitar & @smaxz donations on their way! Thanks again.

[molitar]

Thanks.. Glad this tip proved useful to you all.

Hey guys need some help

Im on Win 10

setup is  Rx 480 4gb and Rx 470 gb

When i try to

To run genoil  & claymore at the same time  the sol 's  and mh's  drop really low.

Any tips why this may be happening ?
