[Pesuvati]

Can somebody explain what this means? what is causing that?

hey guys, what command line should I use that I could control gpu afterburner on awesome miner? thanks!

YOu cannot control MSI afterburner with Claymore miner.

12.5 is a slap in the face  with a big F U to those saying he's not releasing new versions and to lower his fee

The only people that deserve a slap in the face are entitled people like you bitching about software you didnt code or pay up front for. If you dont like the devfee its really simple, dont use it. Dont expect him to remove the fee just because a few cheapskates are whining about it.

[JuanHungLo]

Why are all these comments about mining ETH, especially with non-Claymore miners, in this thread?

Ummm ... bro ... I think he was saying exactly what you are saying.

[Socket54]

Personally i have no issue with the dev fee. This guy/gal claymore clearly knows how to code these miners, make them better and puts time in developing a working product.
So what if there is a cut to use the program, isn't there with everything in life? You are going to pay one way or the other, and people who render services ought to get something out of it.
Thank you claymore, keep doing what you do. You are a valuable asset to the community.

[Infpwnz]

Guys can someone explain how to use these env variables?
GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1
GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
where do i put them exactly and how? i don't get it

[QuintLeo]

Personally i have no issue with the dev fee.

 If you don't like the dev fee, there are other options.

if you have ever looked at how much claymore makes off all of us, its way more than something lol, more than enough to make most people feel as if there being robbed, and that's just with one of his miners. I mean if yall want to talk about someone who thinks there self entitled well tahts the kinda dev that puts a fee in that we cant do shit about, while offering the same program devfee free for extremely large amount of money to which no one but a farm could even remotely afford,anyone has a valid point to bitch and complain about a devfee, claymore has made more than enough to reduce the fee, but yet he doesn't, does that make him look greedy yes absolutely, but its not going to change anything. also on a side note we the miners are more of a valuable asset to him than he is to us. anyone that can already code could take the time to learn to make a good miner to put him to shame that has a reduced fee

If you can write a similar program and charge us 1% fee, I want to be robbed by you.

Problems of this version with yje update of windows.
I have 3 sapphire r9 290x and with the updates send by microsoft this days of windows 10 to version 1703 i saw that it also it automaticaly updates my drivers to 17.1.1.
I began to have problems of falling.
Has someone the same problems??

Then there is the fault in this viewpoint. Its the common "despise the rich/capitalist man" type of ideology.
What is it to us if someone makes good money one may ask, what does this show us and in what ways can we response to that?
Now some of you will respond to that and say, oh well this or that has taken advantage of the little man, its greed and in the process envy and sometimes emotional hate filled myopic viewpoints devour you.
Or some of you like me can say oh well hey thats the dream right there, success, proof you can get ahead and in that state of mind just be really happy for those who are successful. Nothing is truly free, nor should we have expectations of such. You can let it drive you and your ambitions or let it devour you with envy. So that is really all the "hate the rich" mentality amounts to as we cant really control or be a absolute of anyones level of success or measuring stick of even what you see success as right?
But hey free speech so bitch on if its really gonna make things better for whoever has a issue with it. 

However i do agree that a consumer of any good, be it miners for claymore or potatoes buyers for the farmer the consumer is always the most important asset.
With that said, claymore could just as easily package his miners for botnets in torrents or something and really screw a good lot of us over. Instead he/she goes public with solid programs
and offers them for a small fee per user that in a sense really does exponentially cut into what he/she could be making using these programs in a nefarious sense.
I believe claymores public consumer offer is fair and honest so i value that and appreciate the opportunity to use something i wouldn't otherwise be able to make myself.

Anybody got MSI armor rx 570 4gb?
Can you tell me whats the hashrate on ZEC mining please

[golden0707]

v12.5:
- added shares-per-GPU statistics when "s" key is pressed.

Really appreciate that

[HashPony]

Hey guys, just pulled some old cards off the shelf to start mining again (280x and a 7970). Mined plenty of coins in the past but never ZEC and am running into some issues...

Setup:
Mobo - Asus M5A78L-M LX PLUS
OS - Win7 64
PSU - EVGA 700w Bronze
Miner Version: 12.0, 12.4
Driver: 15.12

The 280x (Sapphire DualX) is detected and hashing at around 240 using 12.4 and 180 using 12.0, but the average seems to be around 290 so I'm wondering how to increase these speeds a bit. Stock clock speeds and BIOS. Also, the 7970 (IceQ) is not being detected at all. Tried reinstalling the drivers and switching PCI-E ports and risers, still no luck. Virtual memory is set at 16gb. I've never had to use the "jumper trick" on this motherboard, but I was also mining on Linux previously - would that make a difference?

Running at intensity 5, are there any other config settings I can change that would help? Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: I'm a dummy, the USB port on the riser wasn't plugged in all the way and the 7970 is working now. The hash rate increased a bit with the second card in (250 H/s per card) but is still about 40 H/s slower than other people with stock clock/BIOS settings.

Also, what utilities are people using to undervolt these older cards? Is it a desktop app, the BIOS, or can this only be done by reflashing the card itself? Thanks again!

[jddebug]

I find MSI Afterburner works well for undervolting and changing clock speeds.

 You have just run into one of the 2 biggest issues with Windows 10 - it's insistance on  (and the VERY HUGE pain of trying to get it to NOT) automatically updating things that BREAK software.

 Earlier versions of Windows had the SAME, FREQUENTLY AND OFTEN COMPLAINED ABOUT "feature" but earlier versions made it fairly easy to turn the autoupdate bug OFF - Windows 10 makes it a royal PITA, especially if you do NOT have PRO or "higher" varients.

 AMD also has an issue that ALL of their "relive" driver versions are junk bloatware to date, don't work well even on NEWER cards like the RX 470 and are absolute GARBAGE if you have R9/R7 or older series cards.

 These sort of issues are why I specifically recommend that dedicated mining machines should run LINUX - once you get a LINUX box up and running, it doesn't BREAK things for you and tends to STAY up a lot more of the time than Windows is capable of doing.



 To jddebug:

 For my Gigabyte Windforce R9 280x cards, I find that core clock 1100 and memory clock at 1250 seems to give optimal results (anything over 1250 mem clock seems to introduce too much latency, anything over 1100 core and they start crashing) - stock BIOS running 12.4 on XUbuntu LINIX gives me right at 300 sol/s per card (one a tick over, one a tick under) *IF* I can keep them cool enough - the heat wave we had last week had them into thermal limiting a few hours a day, due to the limited ventilation options on my current place.
 Your cards may vary, I've seen folks claiming to be able to clock R9 280x as high as 1200, but I don't know if they had "factory stock" cooling on them to achieve that, or perhaps just better luck in the ASIC quality lottery (mine are both mid-grade).

 I doubt anyone you're seeing in the 290 sol/s range are running stock clocks AND stock BIOS.

 My cards are not undervolted - and in the testing I've done on them they seem to be locked on voltage in the BIOS, as they just shrugged off my efforts to undervolt them when I had them in a Windows machine with Afterburner, so seems like BIOS mod or flash with a UV-specific BIOS are the only options (this makes sense, as my R9 290 cards were DEFINITELY voltage-locked in the BIOS and I had to flash them with a BIOS from TheStilt to get them to undervolt).

Thanks for the specification! I'll play with the clock speeds a bit, bummer that the voltage is locked. I used to mine on Linux exclusively and decided to give Windows a try this time, may have to test both. Advice was much appreciated.
