Third alt coin thread last two were too big. Builds links thoughts etc

[Truthchanter]

I have this in another RIG :

GPU 0, OpenCL error -4 (0) - cannot create DAG on GPU

Any idea ?

Yes, increase virtual memory size to at least 16gb in windows system settings

[QuintLeo]

Do someone already have this issue with claymore : " can't allocate big buffer for dag" ? and know how to avoid ??

Does your card have at least 4GB of memory?

3 GB actually, it's 2GB and less cards that can't mine ETH any more but my pair of R9 280x 3GB still can (had them swapped over a couple nights back for a bit to do some hashrate checking on genoil).

It worked thank you.
I had tried it the day before, but the change was not saved ... After your message I re applied it and it was good.

This rig worked since months without any trouble, and began to show me the weird issue two days ago ...
Solved anyway !

ETH block times are horrible. Has the network hash rate increased​ that much or are we entering the Ice Age?

Did some more research...

It's the network hash rate.  Over the last month,  the difficulty has increased by 50% (50%!!!), but the hash rate has also increased by approximately 50%.

Is there a way to reduce stale shares in Eth mining ?

[dagarair]

i rarely get those?  Pool bad or ping to high?

[philipma1957]

Over clock
Is possible


Also vg54dett. Is in Europe so are all miners pointed to Europe pools.


If they are try USA

[xleejohnx]

Is there a way to reduce stale shares in Eth mining ?

You can lower the time it takes for claymore to talk with the pool on new jobs
That might help.
It helps a little for dcr mining

[vg54dett]

Thanks guys,

so there seems to be 3 way to improve stale rate :

-overclock but it seems more related to rejected than stales.

-etht   Time period between Ethereum HTTP requests for new job in solo mode, in milliseconds. Default value is 200ms.

-switching between US/EU pools

-get back -ethi to 8 instead of 16 according to claymore troobleshooting part.

Let's work !

NB : if you can take a look at your stats, I would be glad to know your stale and rejected rates, so estimate what is normal or not.

Ensure that none of your rigs are resetting too many times.
Stable and steady cards without too much OC is best.
This may disrupt stratum connection and submit stales during the catchup process.
However, stales submitted may get your uncles payout no?

BTW, I contacted my local Sapphire distributor for 60 x RX480 or 470 quote for my group's 2nd GPU farm....
.... and they are out of stock !!!

Seems there is a shortage of AMD RX cards across the board and they say earliest by May for new stock.
The sales guys said that this has happened before ... when AMD want to steer the market to buy the new
product line (RX500???)

[vg54dett]

how much did you pay per unit while buying bulk previously ?

Cards are available full stock locally, maybe I can help.

Yeah the 500 series is about to hit the market so they stopping the 400
A lot of 400s will hit the market here soon for cheap that's what I'm waiting for
