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

[786sam]

Guys, could someone tell me how man Sol/s gives RX 560 4GB (in stock and under OC)? Haven't found any info about it...

Thank you!

 im getting 140 sol/s  sapphire rx 560

Power consumption?

I can't get this to work on my PC.  It crashes after about 10-15 seconds on startup

Under clock. Or change the riser.

The miner actually doesn't start.  CMD closes after that amount of time.  Can't even get logging to work to figure out what's wrong.

Check your Power Supply Unit and cables, check if there are burnt cables one by one

This solved my issue before.

Good luck!

I highly doubt its any of that seeing how Optiminer works completely fine.

If the dos box closes down soon after opening it usually means that there is an error in the .bat file configuration.
Run the miner in a dos box, it should not close and you should see an error message that will help you find out what's wrong.

Hi guys, newb here.

I got a 480 8gb and a Vega64 running on 17.10.3
I am keeping my tests as safe as possible, so no bios mods.
I am really baffled by the behavior of my setup over time.
It starts up pretty good for stock and slowly creeps down to a grind.
Also I can't notice a significant difference in hash rate with HBCC on or off, and I have repeated these results with blockchain drivers.

This image is taken at startup:


And this after some minutes:


Meanwhile the log goes crazy with buffer overflows, and can't seem to find a way around it, besides restarting the driver.

Code:

I've searched the thread for a repeat incident, and there has been one, but don't see a reply.
Can anyone shed some light to this freaky behaviour, and a possible workaround?

HBCC   does nothing on mining speed  it s just a bug in the driver you can keep it disable, and just disable the gpu and renable it in task manager to get full speed
check the monero vega thread for more info
not sure it s a good idea to mix an rx with an vega on same computer, and also the vega is  more profitable on monero when the rx on eth

This is how mine looks and no probs with windows 10.

Just copy and paste this into your bat.

It would be helpful if you could post your .bat file configuration (and the conf.txt file, to-be-sure) so that it would help us get a better idea as to what my be going wrong. Below is my .bat file (the conf.txt file is empty).

Incredible miner, thank you very much for all your hard work.

[dapps87]

Hi I'm new to all this, I have managed to mine ETH but for life of me I cant get this miner to work.

I have an VEGA 64 GPU could it be driver issue?

runs for about 5 seconds and then shuts down. below are my .bat settings:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
ZecMiner64.exe -zpool eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -zwal  Myaddress.BobsRig1 -zpsw x

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I did a test mine using your settings above, using an R9 270X, and it worked just fine. Maybe if you try the SSL config it might work "ZecMiner64.exe -zpool ssl://eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3443 -zwal YourAddress.YourWorkerName -zpsw x" .

If you want to try out some Bitcoin Gold mining you can use the now up-and-running Testnet, it might help you check out any miner configuration tweaks.

Hey guyz,

I'm using Claymore's Remote Manager (EthMan) to check if my miners are ok.
I've seen that when i add a Worker i've the option to change the listening port (by default is: 3333).
I've now a really simple question, is it possible on the MININGRIG-Side to change the default port of Claymore Eth Dual Miner so on my main RIG I can just change the listenting port in Claymore's Remote Manager to check the miner stat ?

Cheers,

Natizyskunk

I've not used Claymore ZCash miner 'in anger' but thought I'd give it a try out on the Bitcoin Gold testnet on http://btcg.miningspeed.com/ , but I'm having problems with the SSL configuration.

If I mine without SSL is works fine, but if (and I've tried all possible combination I can think of) I use the suggested SSL configurations it gives the following error - any help ?

Code:

ZEC: Stratum - connecting to 'btcg.miningspeed.com' <188.166.72.107> port 3064 (SSL/TLS)

No, the Testnet is only for testing only you do not earn any Bitcoin Gold, you will have to wait for the Mainnet to come online. I'm using the Testnet to check out miners, just started with Claymore for now, to see what sort or return I would expect to get.

EDIT:
You can do test mining at http://btcg.miningspeed.com/ to see what sort of hashrate and BTG returns you'll get.
