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

[CitizenEra5ed]

Just wondering if anybody is having the same issue as me?

I downloaded ver 12.2 to my PC, extracted it onto a USB stick then installed it on my miner but windows defender flagged it as malware and deleted the zec64 miner exe. I ended up having to disable defender to install the miner.

I got it running and it's working brilliantly well - giving me about 1400H/s from 5 280x's.

It still crashes every morning (as all previous versions have done for me) but the difference now is that the zec64 miner also disappears and I have to reload it again from the USB stick - windows defender is still disabled by the way.

Running windows 8.1

Hello,
Can you please tell me what's the best gpu to buy the hd 7970, r9 290,r9 290x, r9 390 or r380.
I'm interested to make a 7 gpu rig with second hand GPU's but i don't know the hashing power of this gpus.

If you dont want to pay a lot for eletricity, you should go with RX470s or RX480s

I have free electricity so i don't care about the cost of it.
I'm interested in buying the best price/hasing power

That will be the 7970. It is less than half the price of RX 480 and same hash rate.

Could you please give me the hasing power for 7970, r9 290x and  r9 390 and r9 390x

if you have free electricty, go for the R9 280x.

Can you give me the hasing power of that gpu please 😁

Depends on the card self I get something like 305/310 with my 280x

Quite true depending on the cards. Some cards have Hynix memory chips and some of Elpida. Hynix chips seem to overlcock better than Elpida's. I have a Sapphire 7970 with Hynix memory that only ran 260H/s so I flashed the bios with a different version and now getting 310H/s out of it. So with that being said try and find a 7970 with Hynix memory and you can get the most bang for your buck!

Well I'll get 7 280x at 117$ per pieces.. 4 are gigabyte version and the rest Asus.... They where used for mining and some of them still have warranty..  It's that a good deal?

I have a question about the operation of my rig and one about mining on flypool if anyone can shed some light on them it would be appreciated!

I am mining with two cards a Sapphire r9 390x 8G and a Sapphire r9 Fury 4G (I like Sapphire cards), using 15.12 drivers, and the "updated" Claymore 12.2 (Thank you Mr. Claymore)!

1. What I notice is that in watching Zcash manager that the hash rate of the cards varies by 10% or so. the r9 fury from 408-449 (running at -I 7), and the r9 390x from 804-845 (running at -i8). I've played around with the intensity settings and these produce the best "average" hashrate in my rig. Is the variance due to mining difficulty? Is this normal?

2. When looking at Flypool's payout statistics, I notice that some blocks are "missed."  It will say payout "to block" 74157. the next entry will say payout "from block" 74159. There are usually 2 and sometimes three blocks missing during each payout. Anyone know why?

Any thoughts or help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

It is good deal as you have free power.

You will have a problem finding a large enough power supply for 7 280X cards.  While it is possible to use dual power supplies, they may not provide a stable environment.  If you are in the USA, plugging the rig into the socket(s) for a single room will load the circuit to near capacity.  280X cards do a good job hashing, perhaps ~310 Sol/s.

R9 Fury cards are more expensive, but more power efficient and hash at ~460 Sols/s. A single 1600W power supply can power 4 R9 Furies and 1 or 2 smaller R9 series cards.  This is for mining Equihash, algo, not "Dual-Mining".  Dual-mining may burn up the power supply with 4 R9 Furies or 6 R9 280X cards.  You will run out of connectors for 6 or 7 R9 280X cards and a single power supply, also.  A power supply should not be loaded to full capacity if you expect to mine without it burning up. 

Larger rigs are often less stable.  If this is your first build, start with 4 cards and expand.  Larger rigs are impressive, but start simple first.  Two stable four-card rigs with smaller power supplies will produce more hash at less expense, and allow you to turn on a light or make toast.  Place the rigs in separate rooms.   If you are in a college dorm, that will save the embarrassment of constant circuit overloads.      --scryptr

Thank you for your detailed answer..  I'm from Europe so there won't be a problem with the power line ..  This is my second build...  Well  I can't find any used  Fury gpus. I'm planning on using 2 psu each with 1000w with a h97 anniversary with 7 pci Slots and USB risers. As for the CPU I'll use a dual core processor, and 8 GB of ram. 
I was thinking of making 2 rigs but that will impose buying a new motherboard,  ram and CPU and that adds up.

GOOD LUCK! --

I got long-winded and added to my original post.  H97 Anniversary is a good choice.  2 micro-ATX boards might cost less, though.  My first rig was six 280X and two 1000W PSUs.  It crashed constantly running early versions of SGminer.  I thought one card was bad and replaced it  I now have eight matching 280X cards, all purchased new, and all running fine on 2 four-PCI slot micro-ATX boards, each with a 1200W PSU.   They are in different rooms, of course.       --scryptr

Claymore the dev fee port is wrong for nicehash.com here a screen shot http://imgur.com/a/EMcAR

[rlong011]

says not enough memory intensity value reduced (3). what memory??
version miner 12.2 after last update
http://i64.tinypic.com/28iwyle.jpg

From the readme in the install folder and post 1, also search on virtual memory

          For multi-GPU systems, set Virtual Memory size in Windows at least 16 GB:
          "Computer Properties / Advanced System Settings / Performance / Advanced / Virtual Memory".

On 12+ on some cards I've not been able to get enough memory to go above 5 even using 66gb of vm

Probably nicehash changed ports/settings for some reason. I will check it and change ports in next update, it will be available in 2-3 days.

Just noticed about a problem in linux, don't know if was already mentioned, but need to be fixed asap.
I'm getting this error continually and is filling really fast my log folder in /var/log/kern.log specially, also some in syslog

Fixed, will be included in next update.

Claymore has 33357 for dev fee and it wont connect I didnt even no nicehash has ssl where did they put the info Thanks

edit: I googled it and found is I wonder why it wont connect to port 33357 for the dev fee I didnt try it on my setting but will

You should ask nicehash about it.
