Claymore's ZCash/BTG AMD GPU Miner v12.6 (Windows/Linux)

[MinermanNC]

hi guys what is the best driver version for r9 390x on windows 7 64?

I have been using the latest drivers with no issues.... some may argue others are better.... but for me its the latest.

On my r9 390 I am getting 315 hashes at stock settings.

[dlx]

Chain is stuck at block 50534 27 minutes now!  Everything is frozen...

Difficulty of 1577367 proves too high for our GPUs.

huh? seems fine here... I think lol I'm hashing as normal it seems. However flypool has not found a block for an hour which is odd, Just looked at dwarf and it found a block 50536 a minute ago? so

Edit: Something peculiar is going on tho... maybe some massive farm joined the network....

ok, flypool just hit a block!!

Hashing has nothing to do with it.

There is an overhead of z transactions that seem to delay t transactions.  After 35 minutes block found, and then another, but i still have transactions with 0 confirmations...


Yes, in 50537 came my money,  118851 B, big block!

ya you may be right on that, I just checked Poli and I have 3 pending deposits all from different time points and sitting a 1 confirmation!

something fishy here. crap I hope there is not an issue or bug! or broken chain, I have a lot to sell yet

EDIT: just got another deposit and all are confirming now  4 in all, weird

Delays are normal if the block is geting bigger, but that has a point in Bitcoin where the 1M limit is almost always full.

In Zcash, 20 or 100 K is not so big to cause such delays.

I suspect that has to do with the shielded transactions, they somehow "consume" a lot of resources in the block.  If you see inside the latest blocks  (https://explorer.zcha.in/blocks) they are many of them.

The Shielded Value Distribution is increasing, 40800 Zecs:  https://explorer.zcha.in/statistics/value , which is nice of course.  It will have a positive impact on the price.

v.11 and 11.1 crashes for me with delay option set to -1 when with ssl. Pls advise..

makes sense, but this is the first I have seen this "lag" in the transactions.

ok thx for that info

Hi,
I need your help.
I have 2x 280X cards and I was using the v8.0 miner (because that's what the pool I'm using directed me at).
Everything was working fine, until I upgraded to the newest amd driver 2 weeks ago. After that the miner would get stuck in a loop at random times, telling me that there was an issue with the gpu.
I've downloaded v11.1 and tried that, but the problem got worse. The miner will get stuck immediately after startup.
I downgraded my driver to 15.12 hoping that would fix the problem. It works more or less now. I can only use my primary card, in the upper most pci-e slot.
For diagnostics I took that one out and started the miner with the other card in the second slot. I immediately got an error message, telling me that no opencl gpu was found.
Is there a way to get my second card running again? (It will neither work with the v8.0 version that was just running fine before the driver update)

Did you use DDU to uninstall the existing drivers before installing the new drivers.

Claymore,

Would it be possible to add voltage control for the older cards, such as the 79xx series? I know some older miners had those options. If its a easy copy/paste job it would be much appreciated. If its difficult, its not a serious issue.

Thanks for all the hard work.

I'd like to know if there were some methods to query each GPU/CPU hashrate ,not only total hashrate . Via TCP/IP socket (ip:3333) I can send
{"id":0,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"miner_getstat1"}
to query total hashrate, I realy want to know how to query each hashrate, would you like to tell that ? Thank you very much~!

is there a way to monitor my rings remotely from my phone? at this moment I use time viewer to periodically log into a loos standing pc on the netwerk. The network is firewalled to reduce the chance of being hacked so connecting directly to each rigs is not possible. 

I see there is an app on play store but not sure if it safe to install and connect to my rigs

Im using Claymore Dual Miner Monitor. In miner i use -mport -80 option to disallow control from outside. Just to watch rig stat.

Problem with app is that it dosnt run on background sometimes.

And of coz you should have static ISP IP set and port forwarding on your Internet router

Thank I did the same now. set the port to -3333 so that miner can't be changed. The app, Claymore/optiminer Monitor seems to work fine when I connect to my VPN via the GSM network. Better than using TeamViewer, that is for sure. I wish it had a widget or alarms but as the VPN will disconnect frequently when coming it is better not to have alarms.

Not that keen to setup port forwarding at this time. I have been hacked before so VPN provides an additional layer of protection.

VPN is needed for sure. Im using 80 port only for reason bkz my corp. FW where Im working doesnt allow nonstandart ports. So Im using 80 or 443 to watch the rigs.
Anf of couse I can browse the miner log in browser by entering http://ISP_rig_address or http://ISP_rig_address:443

[kirilvvbg]

Yes I'm working on new version with speedup for all cards. Need a few more days though.

Any news about "Claymore's CryptoNight GPU Miner" update?

You can read all of Claymore's posts for all of his miners here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=306958;sa=showPosts;start=0

Very handy to have so you can see when he releases updates to his other miners as well as the ZEC one.

Is the second slot on the mobo or a riser, if it is a riser sounds like it's a bad riser.  If its on mobo does it have a third slot you can try. Slots on mobo s do go bad also.  Also double check the seating of the cards, I've messed around in a rig and jarred one and they want connect. Also, you could try driver 16.5.2, it has been rather stable.  I'm running 8x 280x with 16.12.2 with no problems.  Also, what os are you using and is the rig used for anything else.

ok, flypool just hit a block!!

notice how the network hash is dropping like a rock and flypool has now over 50% of the hasrate
