Let me put here my findings in last 24 hours about Flypool and Dwarfpool. After all propaganda without numbers I decided to test both pools wit 2 rigs 820 h/s each. According to whattomine calculator and taking into account 1% pool fee and 2% Claymore fee this hashrate should give 0.091-0.094 ZEC per day

My income with each rig was:
Flypool - 0.08323 ZEC
Dwarfpool - 0.10144774 ZEC

During this period Flypool reports in stats page pool luck of 90% for last 24 hours. So calculated income should be approx. 0.091*0.9 = 0,0819 and that is less than what I got.

Dwarfpool doesn't report pool luck. In last 24 hours the pool had approx. 3-4% of network hashrate and according to their stats they got 22 blocks during this time frame. This looks to me like 100% luck or something similar. Now my question is how they paid me 10% more? I can imagine 2-3 possible explanations for this.

My conclusion so far is Flypool is on par, Dwarfpool really is paying more. Anyway, thank you Dwarfpool, i will watch those 2 rigs for another 24 hours

-1 for Dwarf -  SSL hot topic isn't supported so dev fee there is 2.5%
+1 for Dwarf - vardiff is very nice to my network connection

Cheers

2, bad GPU riser (hope you are powering the risers with the molex directly to the PSU, the sata cables are dangerous and it doesnt deliver enough power to the riser which could cause the hanging..)

Can you elaborate on this a bit more?

How are SATA cables more dangerous?
Why can't they deliver the required power? SATA has a 3.3V, 5V, and 12V rail.  Each rail is rated for 4.5 amps.
Molex has a 5V and 12V rail, each rated for 3 amps.

The only potential danger I can see is over amping the SATA to Molex adapter as it could potentially be receiving 4.5 amps with a design capacity of 3 amps.  My SATA cables are actually cool to the touch and my SATA/Molex adapters are room temperature.

I could be missing something.  I'd be happy for someone to set me straight if I'm wrong on this.

I'm using 5 pcie 1x to 16x powered usb risers (version 6).  I have 1 SATA cable powering 3 risers (with Molex adapters) and 1 SATA cable powering 2 risers and an SSD (Molex adapters only on the risers of course).

Hello guys,
I have a problem when mining. I am using Claymore miner and 6 RX 480 GPUs.
My problem is, there will be 1 GPU not recognized or something like that.
Let's make an example like: when I have 6 GPUs, GPU 3 will be mining at 0 H/s, and the console says: "GPU 3 hangs when OpenCL calls, exit".
when I have 5 GPUs, one of them will behave the same, which means, GPU x will be mining at 0 H/s, "GPU x hangs when OpenCL calls, exit".
I follow all the settings, put in necessary command lines, etc.
I used to reboot until my rig let all the GPUs work, but now that way is not working anymore.
Please help.

well there are various things to try/check....

first let us know what components you are using (mobo, ram, PSU, CPU, Win7/8/10) and what settings for the GPU (OC, voltage??)

from the first shoot i would gues low virtual mem (have to be 16gb min.) or too much OC/undervolt ( as many wrote that this is the main problem by the "hanging" of the GPU)..

I forgot about my components:
Mobo: Biostar TB85
CPU: Intel Celeron G1840 2.8Ghz
PSU: 2 x 750W
OS: window 10 enterprise

About paging memory, I first tried to set it up to 16GB, but now I set it to even 30~40GB, still no help, and I dont even OC it.

well i would gues:

1, try to change the gpu 3 (the GPU which is hanging and loosing the hash rate to 0h/s) to the main port and plug the monitor to it, or use an dummy plug...

2, bad GPU riser (hope you are powering the risers with the molex directly to the PSU, the sata cables are dangerous and it doesnt deliver enough power to the riser which could cause the hanging..)

3, something wrong with the GPU... I would try to set up the rig with 1 gpu, if it works then add next one and try with 2 GPUs, if it works then add next one and try it with 3 until you find out which one is causing
the problem.. It will take some time, but this way you can see with how much GPUs max is your rig running normal, where is the limit...)

4, dont know the mobo - so maybee it is not able to handle 6 GPUs (really dont know, try to search if some1 experienced to get it work, the mobo, with 6 gpus)

dont have any amd RX, but check also here on forum what driver to use, as im using the 15.12 driver but this one is not the right one for the RX GPUs...  

Hope it helps.... GL

Thank you for your advice,
Anything related to physical touch up, like, try another riser, switch GPU, plug 1 by 1, etc, I tried them all.
About GPU, I dont think that the GPU problem. You know, it's not about GPU 3 or the power, my case is like I described before
When I plug 6 GPUs in, GPU 3 will hang.
When I plug 5 GPUs in, GPU x will hang.
There will be always 1 GPU hanging, no matter how many GPUs I plug in.

always same port? maybee the port on the mobo is bad... (if it is the same port..)

No, when I have 5 GPUs in, that means I take that GPU 3 out, just left 5 on the rig, at that time, another GPU will hang.

ok i did a small research, obviusly you are not the only one with this problem.

Most ppl had the problem when it was OC, but you said you are using stock settings....

Next if the GPU hangs is there any change in the device manager? Are all 6 GPUs recognized by the system and device manager?

Also did you tryied the 6 gpu setting, and after it hangs put a dummy or a monitor to the "hanged" gpu? does it changed after miner restart?

well some time ago was here some1 with a burned mobo...

If im not wrong the explanation was that the GPU is also drawning the power from the PCIE x16 if it is needed... That means that if your risers are connected to the mobo per sata cable all the power is taken through the mobo. If it is too much it can burn the motherboard... For this reason is it more safe to plug it to the PSU...

If i have bad info, correct me, surrely want to learn...

Edit:

now i got your point... I was unclear what I ment before, explaining that sata cables are not safe.... I ment the connecting to the mobo per the sata cables..

Have no exp with sata to PSU setup, like the direct psu-molex connection more, but its just i prefer....

No offence, srry for the mess and thx for your imput

anybody with r9 fury? Can you please share your results with v9.1?   

I can confirm ~355 H/s  1155/500 mhz

Cheers!

[rpg]

well f2pool is PPS so no luck factor there. you are payed for each share accepted.

i have had some pretty bad results with suprnova.. wish f2pool would offer SSL for those willing to suffer dev fees but concerned about MITM mitigation.

Not exactly true. The payout was very low a few days ago. That is because it did not hit many blocks.

not sure you are unfamiliar with what PPS means, or if this is a troll from a low activity shill account.

PPS means there are constant calculations against difficulty and share size so each submission is rewarded minus the pool fee. regardless of how many blocks the pool scores.

you are Paid Per Share.

all these people "counting shares" on dwarf and flypool should simply check difficulty charts for a given day and pull up a calculator for what they should be pulling in. their counted shares mean nothing if payout is sub optimal.

if you're not being rewarded at least .08 ZEC per 1000h/s these past few days, even after fees.. you're getting bent over pretty bad.

0.1 ZEC per 1000h/s is more like it after some modest dev and pool fees.

My 460 call for close to .06. and I'm getting them. Your .08 or even .1 for 1000 hashes is uncalled for as you are throwing sand into nobos eyes.

anyone on coinmine.pl ?
thread in Pools is useless so if anyone on coinmine.pl please tell me about ssl port they are using 7017 I can't connect to it

Here's mine -
ZecMiner64.exe -zpool zec-us1.dwarfpool.com:3336 -zwal t...xi.GutZ1 -zpsw GutZ211@hotmail.com -cclock 1175 -mclock 1700 -i 8 -powlim 50 -tt 80 -ttli 85

Now I am wondering if I am using the correct port? I have two rigs one is 3x R9 390 averaging 903 sol's and the other 5x RX 370 averaging 1160 sol's. I am using 3336.

Should I use 3336 for 1 and 3337 for the other? or something else? What's the difference?

What does it all mean?

Main-Port (vardiff): 3333
Stratum-Port (dwarf=8,miner=256): 3334 for CPU
Stratum-Port (dwarf=128,miner=4096): 3335 for one videocard
Stratum-Port (dwarf=512,miner=16384): 3336 for rigs with 2-4 cards
Stratum-Port (dwarf=1024,miner=32768): 3337 for rigs with >=5 cards

Now if I could only get temp, cclock and mclock readings from my R9 390 I would be happy.
Any ideas? Doesn't show in GPU-z either. :-(

Any under/over volting? My assumption is that you're modding the clock via Claymore so the answer is no, but you know what they say about assuming...

Also, which driver are you using? When I was on 16.xx I was at 330 H/s for Fury airs, but after v9.1 I rolled back to 15.12 to avoid hangs on opencl calls and lost 10% of my hash.  Each card is now at ~300 H/s.

Thanks for the clarification.  I apologize if I came off as condescending or confrontational, it certainly wasn't my intent.  It looks like we were talking about two different things (SATA power vs. SATA comms).  Now it makes sense to me.  Thanks again!

on 9.1 the most solid last phase for my rx470 looks 1170@904mv core and 1750@904mv mem controller, doing 197H/s.
Cores are stable at ~70W, the spikes on memory are not that scary (doesn't go up to 115+W  as it does with offsets from stock on mem part but hits 90W occasionally, from around 55W) the card on average takes total 125W from the wall.

Looks like offsets are no good, minimum I can reach (depending on the card) is about -20, which gives around 930mv.
Hardcoded values are better.

And btw these spikes mean that you should make sure you've got 30% spare power on your PSUs.
I guess a good power test would be to see how you setup does dual ETH.

EDIT: 1160 core and 1750 mem @934mv for better stability

Hi,

Is it possible to have and r9 290 and a RX480 in the same computer?

everything is possible:)

@Puffy23 there's this legend that sata power connectors to the raiser is a fire hazard, I guess it's only for people with shaky hands though...

Yes I have a 7950 and a rx480. You have to install the 15.12 drivers first and upgrade to the 16s after

Dwarfpool now pool speed is 2 127 405sol

lets see...

2 127 405sol       / 10  = 212 740sol    - if you have this speed you will get 1 zec per block
1 block=10zec   / 10  = 1 zec             - if you want 1 zec per block you must have 212 740sol

next

212 740sol          / 10 = 21 274sol       - if you have this speed you will get 0.1 zec per block
1 zec                / 10 = 0.1 zec            - if you want 0.1 zec per block you must have 21 274sol

next

21 274sol            / 10 = 2127sol           - if you have this speed you will get 0.01 zec per block
0.1 zec              / 10 = 0.1 zec             - if you want 0.01 zec per block you must have 2127sol

finaly words

if dwarfpool found 23 bloks per day (now the pool have 23 blocks from last day) = 0.23 zec for 1 day if you have 2127sol
but if dwarfpool found 30 block per day = 0.30zec for 1 day , and more... and more... and more ... everithing is little luck !

This numbers is right ?

I started dwarfpool today and will post after 24h results - 3,5% for fee ... and will see they steal or not couse i think flypool steal 10-20%from us

I would if Claymore made his "devfee" optional or atleast a one time payment like a normal software stack developer. I know he does a great job, I don't disagree.
