fullzero,

Is there a way to adjust the dual mining within the claymore?

As if I activate dual mining I loos about 5 MH/s in this mode, when normally I can adjust it via the -dcri when using Claymore on its own. I didn't see anything but could have overlooked it within the Onebash.

It'll be in the onebash file and you might have to add it on the line for claymore

Quick question, does this look like where my Power Sw needs to be plugged into? and an even dumber question, what does the other end plug into? Last hardware setup step for me

It looks right
The other end looks like a push button

Thanks for everything and all the help! Quick question for some reason today after I had to restart on boot up rather then going straight to the desktop and starting the miner it goes to a login screen and when I type in the miner1 password it accepts it flashes black and the asks for the password again. Any clue on how to solve this?

I've also had this happen.  Most recently it was when I shut down and added my newest 2 GPUs to the original 5.  I resorted to re-imaging to fix it.

OP mentioned quite a few pages back that if you're going to make any hardware changes you should start off with a freshly imaged thumb drive.  That was in regards to a BIOS update.  Have you made any hardware changes?

keepitsane are you connecting your monitor to the motherboard? 

If you have been attach it to the primary GPU (the one attached to the first 16x slot on the mobo) . 

If that was the case: You should then be able to apply this fix to restore the blanked xorg.conf:

The other situation I can think of where this might happen is if you have an amd card mixed into your rig; nvOC will not work if an amd card is present.

If neither of these are the case; I would reimage the USB as UberDaemon suggested.

Everything is up and running. Thanks so much OP. Do you have a wallet I can donate something to?

One quick question. How can I monitor mining through ssh without closing the mining process and opening on the remote pc. (at least that's how I understand the guide you provided).

I was thinking of something like the last step in this guide, where you use a screen? http://www.cryptobadger.com/2017/04/build-ethereum-mining-rig-linux/

For now I can use nvidia-smi to monitor temps at least.

if when you start screen you use this argument:

Code:

screen -dmS rig1

replacing rig1 with any name

screen with launch as a background process

in theory it should continue to run if you detach from the screen pressing:

Code:

CTRL + D

then you should in theory also be able to reattach to the screen with:

Code:

% screen -r

I am saying 'in theory' because I just read the article you linked and haven't tried this.

I will get around to delving into the depths of screen configurations at some point.

My performance is lower than it is on ethOS or in Windows. I have two 1070s and 4 1060 6GB. On those with no overclock I get around 120MH/s in other OSes. Here with a +300 memory OC I am only getting 105MH/s dual mining eth and sia. I lowered the dcri value to the same number. I didn't set a power limit, maybe that will do it.

xleejohnx is right, on whatever dual coin you are mining; go to the bottom of oneBash and look for the corresponding block of code.

for example if I was looking for DUAL_ETH_SC I would find the block:

Code:

if [ $COIN == "DUAL_ETH_SC" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/9.0/ethdcrminer64'
ETHADDR="$ETH_ADDRESS/$ETH_WORKER"

if [ $ETHERMINEdotORG == "YES" ]
then
ETHADDR="$ETH_ADDRESS.$ETH_WORKER"
fi

SCADDR="$SC_ADDRESS/$SC_WORKER"
until $HCD -epool $ETH_POOL -ewal $ETHADDR -epsw x -allpools 1 -dpool $SC_POOL -dwal $SCADDR -dpsw x -dcoin sc -dcri 70
   do
   echo "FAILURE; reinit in 5" >&2
   sleep 5
done
fi

and find the line:

Code:

until $HCD -epool $ETH_POOL -ewal $ETHADDR -epsw x -allpools 1 -dpool $SC_POOL -dwal $SCADDR -dpsw x -dcoin sc -dcri 70

Then change the number after -dcri as desired.

If the coin you are using doesn't have -dcri  at the end of the line that starts with: until

add it to the end with the desired number

save oneBash

If you scroll to the top of the mining process do you see OC messages for core and memory for each card?

If so:

try +200 core clock and +900 memory clock

if that hard or soft crashes, try:

try +100 core clock and +600 memory clock

also what model 1070s and 1060s?

[fullzero]

I received my Lexar thumb drives today.  HDD Raw Copy Tool ran at 49MB/sec writing the image to the drive, compared with my old Samsung 32GB that wrote at 25MB/sec.  Thanks for the suggestion, OP.

These are even faster, but a bit pricey:

EVGA superclocked 1070s and gigabyte gaming g1 1060s. Let me try the new settings

edit: looks like it crashed on the original settings with cannot get current temperatures

I may try individual clocks and see if one of the cards is the problem.

I had to reboot one of my rigs and upon startup the console opens and tries to start but get the permission denied error over and over.  tried multiple usb ports and same thing, going to have to re flash the usb stick

I'm benchmarking dual mining ETH+LBC on a Gigabyte 1070 Mini ITX (another 5 are en route) and found that nvOC isn't performing quite as well as Windows, with these settings:

PL 115
CC 250
MC 900
-dcri 50

nvOC is producing:
ETH 23.8MH/s
LBC 32.8MH/s

But Windows 10 with the latest nvidia drivers, claymore miner 9.5 and MSI Afterburner 4.4 Beta 10 set to:

PL 105
CC 250
MC 850
-dcri 50

I'm seeing:
ETH 29MH/s
LBC 40MH/s

Could this be because of the newer version of Claymore? Or something else?

[Dhx]

As a lot of members have had problems with various 16gb USB keys this would solve that problem; although I think I can cut down the size more and ensure it will work with all (claimed) 16gb drives.  

The main reason I don't want to switch to 32 is many users already have 16gb USBs and switching to 32 would force them to buy another USB key.  

I will start recommending only 32gb drives from now on.

I would say that is the best route.  No reason to switch things up over night, but perhaps a slow transition.  The USB sticks are less than a half percent of the rig cost and the project is still rather young.  Of course, it all depends on if you see any value in the extra space.

Everything is up and running. Thanks so much OP. Do you have a wallet I can donate something to?

Popular sentiment but he won't take anything right now!  Unbelievable for what fullzero is offering and the intimate level of support.  We're going to have to organize a mine for fullzero day at some point.  In the meantime, I would say either mine his addresses on your own for a day or perhaps leave his address on the XMR CPU plus.

yeah it is a similar performance drop to what i am getting

It looks like your running at stock.

If you are only using one GPU: there is a bug in v0015.

To OC with one GPU follow the directions in this post:

You can verify if you are OCing properly by looking for messages like these at the top of the mining process:

Weird now after the fourth command I don't see any of those attribute setting confirmations in your screenshot, instead there are a few empty lines then:

The miner still runs with the same speeds afterwards but something is amiss…

Hi!  New member / user / and miner.  Thank you for all the work put into this project.  I am trying to use an ASUS Prime Z270-P mobo.  I downloaded the image off the OP and have my miner up and running but my cards are not overclocking or manual fan control.  I get an error for each card regarding fan control (I specified 90%).  Is this mobo not supported or am I doing something wrong?  I specified 600 mem overclock.  I am currently using 2 GTX1070 and 1 GTX 970 in this rig.  All 3 are running at stock speeds like they do in Windows.  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

PS.  I could not find the 2nd and 3rd items mentioned for the BIOS changes you have talked about for the PRIME Z270-A.  Is this the reason?  Any help greatly appreciated.

If you press f12 and enter:

gksu gedit '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'

then enter the password when prompted

Is the file empty?
