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

[golden0707]

I demand explanation! Why Claymore devs want take out my computer? Is 2,5% too low??!! I do not want you to use my comp as a part of botnet!!

My rig have fresh system installed just for claymore, everything is blocked, even system itself, only claymore can connect to world, and found today that someone trying take over my rig, scan network and download files!! (i hope was unsucesfull, because everything is blocked or he clean log files) It is my first time using claymore and first time someone take my crig. It is not a coincidence, i am connected directly to large operator, i am behind nat, behing corp grade firewall, only claymore can connect from that vlan, so hacker could use only connection what was started from claymore, so claymore connected to hacker!!

This is just the letters on the screen . Any logs , screenshots, anything ?

P.S. using -mport option you letting control your rig not only "claymore" but anyone who nows your ISP IPaddress. If of course you config NAT correctly and use only system port (1-1024) for monitor\control your rig,  wich are not blocked by ISP(corp FW)  by default.

Thankyou  I altered the bat file with your recommendations but it still runs at -i 4
I'm trying to run nicehash with the software you download from nicehash and use the 3rd party miner option 

In nicehash folder open config folder and open something.json file with notepad++. There is one file for each gpu. Then find equihash settings and write -i 6 in extra settings or something like that. Than save the file and open nicehash program again

Thanks mate that worked a treat.
incase anyone else is wanting to do this its the .json benchmark files.
Scroll down to equihash and put in the -i 6 as shown below

"ExtraLaunchParameters": "-i 6",

I'm just curious, how did you know then that someone is trying to hack you? And what kind of firewall do you use?

After login was asking about admin password for install 3rd party software, and found was services what was not installed by me, now reinstalling whole rig
I use comodo on rig, and fireeye on nat

what services exactly? we aren't getting closer to the solution, if you don't say exact things. If you are right, I have to find also the same services on my rig.

Can I ask where you downloaded the file from?

There is a fake version of the file someone has put up on mega that is a virus.

The correct address to download from is
GOOGLE: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B69wv2iqszefdmJickl5MF9BOEE?usp=sharing
MEGA: https://mega.nz/#F!P0ZjFDjC!Cmb-ZRqlbAnNrajRtp4zvA

I have been using Claymore's Zec miners from the first version and it has never asked for me to download 3rd party software.

Well just for the info. Writing down statistics. On 8 am poloniex balance was 77 USD (auto transfer from pool to exchange) , 1.5 Ksols/s and 8 hours later - 77 USD. Nice profit

If something happened with your system or hardware - it's Claymore! I saw messages that my miners destruct GPUs, PSUs, crash Windows etc. I won't be surprised when someone discovers that the milk always goes bad because of using my miners.
If you think that I write viruses instead of miners and you are the one who finally discovered it, it's a good idea to read OP or Readme:

......
- Windows 10 Defender recognizes miner as a virus, some antiviruses do the same. Miner is not a virus, add it to Defender exceptions.
  I write miners since 2014. Most of them are recognized as viruses by some paranoid antiviruses, perhaps because I pack my miners to protect them from disassembling, perhaps because some people include them into their botnets, or perhaps these antiviruses are not good, I don't know. For these years, a lot of people used my miners and nobody confirmed that my miner stole anything or did something bad.
  Note that I can guarantee clean binaries only for official links in my posts on this forum (bitcointalk). If you downloaded miner from some other link - it really can be a virus.
  However, my miners are closed-source so I cannot prove that they are not viruses. If you think that I write viruses instead of good miners - do not use this miner, or at least use it on systems without any valuable data.
......

wow, didn't know that software can destruct PSUs

The day I installed v8 my wife started her period and I had to crap 3 times (all solid so I couldn't honestly report it as diarrhea).

Was this all just coincidence? I think not.

[gaah]

I will release new version in 1-3 days.

Thx alot for your hard work on the new miner many love!

i'm more than a bit curious.. since we are the ones contributing to your dontation.

how much do you earn on an average daily basis from your mining fees?

[chronek]

what services exactly? we aren't getting closer to the solution, if you don't say exact things. If you are right, I have to find also the same services on my rig.

was server monitoring tools not from microsoft, logs didnt show anything, i didnt look for anything else because i know what i install, now installing windows 7 again

You can also add these setting within the program.

Settings > Devices/Algorithm > choose your device > select your algorithm

And then you can set the extra launch parameters.

I have been using Claymore's Zec miners from the first version and it has never asked for me to download 3rd party software.

When installing NiceHashes new miner it ask for your confirmation on using 3rd party Claymore miner this is probably what he is talking about???

I am a bit curious about that too. I know that he earns around 800€/day on nicehash only. But how much in total...I have no idea. Probably around 5000€/per day. Nobody knows but himself

anybody capturing packets to identify the address we mine to during donation phases? or does it randomize?

over a grand a day seems excessive for 2.5% surely 2% would have been enough no? heh .5% seems like a desperation plea to get that little extra bit for putting bread on the table it seems. Then again i don't work with serious numbers that often.

His Miner earns him on average 10 ZCash a day.. Which equates to roughly $550.

This is his nicehash addres https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=miners&addr=1LmMNkiEvjapn5PRY8A9wypcWJveRrRGWr
Then he also has ethereum and cryptonote miner.

[suggsy89]

So with his other accounts he makes say on average... lets say... for arguments sake... $2000 a day.. That's great and I don't envy him one bit.

There are 4 ZEC accounts (excluding nicehash) that net around ~100 BTC a month.
