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

[fr4nkthetank]

Does anyone have a stable BIOS for RX 480 Nitro+ 4Gb Elpida?
This one isn't working for me: https://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/10570/bios-for-sapphire-nitro-rx480-4gb-elpida
And what clocks and voltage are you using?
Didn't find anything on this thread :/

I have a link for the 4gb and the 8gb versions, http://www.cryptominingtalk.com/flashing-bios/
edit: dont know if its the same though.

Well, we will all soon need more speed.

6xR9 380 periodically resets GPU0 speed, and the miner errors appear non-existent cards, with which it can be connected?

It's a bug, will be fixed in next update. Divide card number by 2.

How soon will be next update ?

Do you want more speed?

Yep and it looks like we are going to need a lot of it to kill this botnet or private miner or whatever.

For those of you that want to hold right now, thanks!

... zec is still the most profitable, and if these updates keep rolling in it will continue to be.

Don't expect miracles. We may be at the end of speed increase.

Somebody knows a trusted solo Pool for ZEC ?

@solorider.io i get many accepted Shares and i can not identify a real new block for me due the hidden blockchain. It seems that i helped him to find blocks ....

Just wondering if anyone else has had issues with v6 causing blue screens. I get error code 0x000000EA after 5-10 min, stock everything. Was running no problems on previous versions.  I have older 7970's and 7990's. Does not seem to happen with very low intensity's.

Just wondering if anyone else has had issues with v7 causing blue screens. I get error code 0x000000EA after 5-10 min, stock everything. Was running no problems on previous versions.  I have older 7970's and 7990's. Does not seem to happen with very low intensity's.

v7 ehhhhhhhhhh I'm kinda jealous

RX 470 4GB

Mining ZEC => 140 H/s

0.140 * 0.0142 ~ 0.002 BTC/per day

Mining ETH => 28.2 MH/s

28.2MHs =>  0.0026 BTC/per day

Mining ETC => 28.2 MH/s

28.2MHZ => 0.0022 BTC/per day

Mining ETH + SIA => 28.2 MHs + 350 MH/s   =  0.0028 BTC/per day

For some reason ETH difficulty is very low today, no idea why.

[adaseb]

The reason why the profitability is VERY LOW for ZEC is because the most common mining GPU in existence the Tahiti (Radeon 7950 / 7970 / 280x) went back online since its has very good hashing rates as compared to the newer cards.

During ETH mining the Tahiti suffered the DAG file slowdowns, so it started at 27MH/s last August 2015, and now it only hashes at 16MH/s however it hashes ZEC at compartable rates as the RX series.


130 Sols mining ZEC = > 0.001846 BTC/per day

Mining ETH is only 16MH/s which is 0.0015 BTC/per day. You can dual mine and get like 0.0017 BTC/per day but crazy power consumption.

So you can see why the difficulty is crazy high for ZEC at the moment. Due to these old GPUs coming back online. People got basements filled with them during the Litecoin mining days.

anyone know what this means

Claymore please make remote control with password.
Anyone can access to miner and change config.txt epools.txt and other files.
Thank you for your work.

[mewhoyou]

Can someone share the tip and tricks on the monitoring as I do not have a clue how to set it up.

Claymore BTW i would just like to know if we had hit the limits of RX cards?

I want to ask anybody here who mines zcash in nicehash.com which is automatically converted to BTC.

IF i interpret correctly nicehash.com pay miners based on the accepted hashpower (with equihash algorithm in Ksol) that we (miners) delivered on certain rate. For example i read the rate in the nicehash homepage (https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp) as follow:

Algorithm    Port    Currently Paying    24h Payouts    
   
Equihash     3357       0.0142 *        0.0170 *


I interpret the data above that nicehash pay 0.0142 BTC per kilo sols (1000 sols) per day.. So if for example our rig deliver about 800 h/s (800 sol/s) and assume this 800 h/s speed accepted by nicehash.com and we mine a full day..

nicehash will pay us about 800/1000 * 0.0142 btc = 0.01136 BTC per day.


Is my calculation correct??

Appreciate any answer/respond.

these cards are power hungry - will miners afford to get them online to mine ZEC?

I've come to understand the power draw is considerably lower than ETH, at least at the moment, meaning dual mining will still use 100% but ZEC alone, I don't know because i don't have a watt meter, but at present it's something like 40%-70% the power draw. if the temps are any indication.

sure, put -mport -3333 in your .bat file, so you can monitor but not change anything.  (allow firewall exceptions if they pop up) Open ETHman, click add new miner, and enter a name, then 192.168.1.xxx depending on what the address of your rig is.  Download Fing if you want an easy way to know where what.  or just check on your router.  anyways, port is 3333 and you should be monitoring your rig. 

On the 280x and older cards note, they won't be profitable for much longer - mining always tends to go to an efficient bottom   In the long run anyway for a coin.  But since ROI on those rigs is already done or will be soon if you were there from day 1 then no biggy I guess. 

Claymore, do you have a customer service job opening ? i'd like to apply

That's exactly right.

[spyder09]

Can anyone post their start script or config file for mining zclassic or on nicehash? I keep getting an error when trying to mine elsewhere besides default site.  Thanks!

[markus124]

anyone that have a 7950 can tell us the power consumption of the card mining eth and mining zec?
