Claymore's miner and miningpoolhub multi-algo ?

[elgi76]

Hi all and Claymore

Today i try the multi-algo switching on miningpoolhub with zcash and eth claymore's miner.
it work but i have some problem.

i have try to lauch in 1 bat file, but generate dag is long.
also i launch zcashminer and ethminer in same time on port 12xxx miningpoolhub. one of miner make nothing, another mine. it's ok.

now my problem :
1- fan management ...
2- watchdog (who make restart the eth miner and regenerate dag file) ...

for 2, i think just make -wd 0 or use -r 3600 (for example)
for 1, i don't know what i can do !!!

what do you think of this ?
any help ? someone use multi-algo already with claymore's miner ?

Zcash and ETH???

Are you sure?

I'm using the multi-algo switching right now with MPH and claymores ZEC 8.0 as well as ETH/DCR 7.4 works well.

my only complaint is that the trigger for the switch is being done by a 10 minute "share not accepted" timeout function in the miner and I wish I could shorten it so that there isn't much delay in the switching. 

But it sounds like you might be trying to run both programs at the same time? thats not really how you do it maybe i Misunderstand what you are doing

your bat should just run one program at a time and cycle through the two depending on what the multialgo port says from MPH.

[elgi76]

yes i'm sure !!!
on hubworker, i define a worker for multi-algo ethash and equihash only.
i use the port 12xxx for multi-algo.

and i run 2 miner in same time, one mine, another "sleep"

Why run both at same time, just loop them and you won't have any issues.  Not sure what the benefit is to "sleep" one, are you trying to reduce DAG gen time or something...

yes for the time of dag generation. it's very long on my rig.
what is the benefit of no waiting miner, of make a loop ?

I'm just saying that I loop the applications with -noretrydelay -1 the program just quits when its time to switch and the next programs starts up not sure why your dag gen is so long...

i know, i have try this and speak about on my first post.
dag gen is long because i have a small cpu ? only 4GB of ram ? i don't know. just it's very long and i search a speed switch.

Sorry for the newbie question but, please, can you make a tutorial for the community explain how can we setup this?

Tks so much!! Nice config!!

You only have to run hub.bat after all this configuration correct? Nice job!!

[elgi76]

yes, just start hub.bat

[elgi76]

i miss something !

On miningpoolhub.com, after you have log. you must go to "Hub Worker" page and create a special worker with the good job, "AMD - Ethash, Equihash" for me.
And maybe you must go to "Auto Exchange" page too.

Hey Elgi76 thank you so much for the hub.bat idea

I have a big question though.
1) What will trigger usage if ETH miner vs ZCASH miner automatically?

SHouldnt we be using the hub.miningpoolhub.com:xxxxx to connect with each algorithm?
I think the auto switch works only with hub feature, still I am not sure about who will desktop know to switch from ETH to ZCASH mining depending upon the profitability

[elgi76]

We use the miningpoolhub.com feature for this.
we must use port 12xxx, define a hub worker and a good job.

All explain is here :

I am just not sure if Claymorem iner will do that . I guess they have perfected stuff for sgminer. but I can be wrong

This way is more profitable than using nicehash? Nicehash also uses claymore miner now...

@maxmad_x
claymore's miner can do that, i use now.
and i try sgminer-gm too but i don't have a good result, it don't work fine for me, i must testing more.
but sgminer have a good hashrate, little same of claymore's ethminer without devfee
and a perfect feature for use with miningpoolhub.

@forato
yes it's more profitable. we can use a miner without fee of claymore, of nicehash, of someone, just must use miningpoolhub for pool but maybe not, i don't know for now.

but now i think claymore make a new release in a few time with more speed :p

Thanx. Thats a great news. I just played with sgminer a bit more today. I am so used to Claymore, I am sticking with it. I will add your way of dealing with autoswitching between ethash and equihash. Currently I am doing some other shenanegans with XMR miner
Thank you so much for detailed information

[elgi76]

Finaly it's working for me with many algo

i have add SGMiner-5.3.1 of miningpoolhub :
https://github.com/miningpoolhub/sgminer/releases/latest

i put it in my application folder.
i create a start.bat file in this folder :

Code:

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

sgminer.exe -k groestlcoin -I 24 -o stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:12004 -u <user_name>.<worker_name> -p x --no-retry
sgminer.exe -k skeincoin -I 24 -o stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:12016 -u <user_name>.<worker_name> -p "d=1" --no-retry
sgminer.exe -k vanilla -I 24 -o stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:12019 -u <user_name>.<worker_name> -p x --no-retry
sgminer.exe -k myriadcoin-groestl -I 24 -o stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:12005 -u <user_name>.<worker_name> -p x --no-retry

i make a symlink on my desktop :
SGMiner => C:\Users\elgi\Applications\SGMiner-mph\start.bat

and i update my switch bat file :

Code:

:start
ZCashMiner.lnk
SGMiner.lnk
EthMiner.lnk

timeout 1
goto start

On miningpoolhub.com,
go to "hub workers"
define the good job for my worker.

now my rig mine the most profitable coin on multi-algo, 6 algo for now
