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

[silentrunner]

When using a browser to monitor on port 3333 a line displaying the ttli % is displayed when ttli kicks in.

Code:

Currently -ttli reduces intensity for: GPU0 (-20%)

This helped me understand how -ttli works.

Currently it only is displayed in the console sometimes if the s key is pressed.

Would it be possible to also display it periodically in the console and in the log file?

Thanks!

What are you all using for ZEC wallet?  

I've been sending my ZEC to my Jaxx osx wallet.  But since claymore is such a bad ass programmer, Jaxx has gotten real sluggish with all of the transactions I have going through now.

Go to settings in Jaxx, clear/reset the cache.  That helps.

Settings > reset cache

Wish I had this tip earlier!  I finally was able to get all my ZEC out of that wallet; just took hours of waiting for the app to become responsive lol.

You know there's a window wallet?

Yeah, I'm just sending to Poloniex now.  And I prefer to use osx

Well there is always this one: https://github.com/vaklinov/zcash-swing-wallet-ui/blob/master/docs/Readme-Mac.md I use the windows version of it and used to use the Linux version.

Hi Guys,

Looking to buy a couple more GPU's.  Power is not an issue thus I am simply looking for the best value.  I can get second user 7970's for about £70 or 290x's for around £110.  I guess its best to go for the 290x's?

thanks

Newegg has fury x for 253 dollars. If you buy 290x run them at a target temperature of 87 celcius to keep the fan noise down. They are designed for 95 celcius so 87 is not a problem.

Can I ask where you find the information on temperatures for cards? I have mine all set at 75c to be safe, but there is fan noise. I would be interested in knowing.

290x was designed to run at 95c, it's all over the net. At 85c I keep the fan at 66% that mining on an hotel room doesn't affect my sleep. My 290x is the reference noisy one lol

You are in a hotel room and you have put a RIG in there?...
You just gave a whole new meaning to the term "free electricity"
What does the cleaner lady say when she comes In to clean up the room?

She clean cookies and go to next room   
That's brilliant idea.

People have purchased PCIe risers from me for delivery to hotels. So there are others doing the same thing!

What I don't understand is how that is profitable? You can't run that many miners in a hotel room? Even cheap hotels cost more than it costs me in electricity to run my miners at home.

[smaxz]

i've run in to this phenomenon too..

staff, people traveling on business and the company pays for hotel along with per diem, shared accommodation to lower per night fees are just a few guesses.

Probably I'm the one you sent to Phoenix lol. Very easy. Doing consulting away from home. Hotel is a long term stay place, like a home away from home. Have to sleep somewhere and pay for the night. The expense is already taken and paid for tax free. The 8 GPUs are only an added bonus

Search for David Mercer's Zcash - he has a good gui Windows wallet and and OSX wallet as well (I think).  Windows wallet works pretty well except that you have to be careful to deduct a bit more than the suggested fee before sending to a hardware wallet or somewhere else.  He will eventually add a "maximum" button like in Jaxx that auto-subtracts out an applicable fees.

Anyone knows how many sols can one expect from a sapphire r9 fury nitro?

It should give you 300-350 sol

Hey RPG,

I'm sure it was you! Didn't I also need to send you a replacement? That's why I remember the initials. And it was definitely Arizona.

One was bad but never asked for a replacement. If it was you I order twice and about to put a third order

Also you might ping the pool's server, opening a Command promt and running for example:

ping zec-eu.suprnova.cc

you'll see if average is too high (above 350ms).

Regards.

350 ms is SLOOOOOOOOW.

I can ping most servers across an OCEAN in 120-180ms.

In my country within 100ms.

I agree..I was wondering where the limit would be.. I'm using Antpool @200ms ping...and Suprnova (Europe) 25ms... How much would affect mining with a "lazy" ping? How could we measure that?

SAPPHIRE R9 FURY NITRO, 470 SOLS/S--

The Fury card has a huge bandwidth.  I get 470 Sols/s on Equihash algo, my R9 280X cards get 315 Sols/s.  Both these cards hash 5-10 Sols/s faster on version 12.3 than they mined on earlier versions of 12.x.  Version 12.3 is more stable, also.  I mine on Linux.  I don't have any R9 290 or 390 cards, but they may mine in the mid-300 Sols/s.

You would see it with rejected shares.

any special settings on 280x's

[R0mi]

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?  

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

That's great advice.  You'll also avoid the hassle of getting 6 cards recognized properly in Windows 7/8/8.1 if the rig is running Windows.
