Without bios mod, you can't have better hashrate probably. I've been mining at leat 10 cryptocurrency for the last 10 years, but I just can't mine Monero. XMR Stak simply freezes after a few hours (usually during the night), no error message on screen, just freeze. Claymore Cryptonote won't even start (NsGpuCNMiner.exe has stopped working). And SG miner gives me a weird blinking window with "restart miner at the bottom". I have 3 computers mining Ethereum for days without crashing. I get the same result on the 3 trying to mine Monero. Is it the new [Suspicious link removed]pute driver the problem?
You don't need blockchain drivers for Monero mining.

I think i am setting up the config file wrong for the xmr stak AMD miner as i keep getting this error. "JSON config parse error(offset 24): Missing a name for object member."
This is the config file i am trying:
"gpu_thread_num" : 1, { "index" : 0, "intensity" : 1000, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false }, "pool_address" : "pool.sumokoin.com:3333", "wallet_address" : "Sumoo5ngxhL3Fo4v9j5MZqgrK2UYJUH56HA8Vbp1fG3PNe6WbUwMx8w89EjVjmEjiUjXoGvaGTbhTMJ GubrSHwY8Hi4A4hTK4WK", "pool_password" : "x",
Any idea what might be causing this error?

Ok figured out how to get the AMD version running on GPU RX 580. Now to see if i can get the NVIDIA miner working on my machine with the GTX 1080Ti

Got the NVIDIA to work as well, thanks ton for a easy to use guide.
However it does seem to be a bit under performing, maybe slow to accept shares.
This is the setup i have for it so far.
"gpu_threads_conf" : [ { "index" : 0, "threads" : 83, "blocks" : 56, "bfactor" : 16, "bsleep" : 32, "affine_to_cpu" : false, },
The miner recommended setup when i first started froze up everything so i tweaked the bfactor and bsleep some. I am getting 730 H/s with this.
Anyone else here able to get more out of their 1080Ti?

The recommended settings is not working for me neither. On their github in issue I think is how to calculate it for NVIDIA. It wasn't working with my laptop NVIDIA, lower threads was working better than the calculated. 1080TI is bad choice for Monero. ZEC or LBC would be much better.

Hi folks,
does anyone have an idea how to start xmr-stak-CPU as a service or without CMD window? in the worst case, stop in the tray next to the time...
thank you

Try this: Open notepad and paste set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") wshShell.run "C:\Locationyourbat.bat",0,true Now save the file with .vbs extension (not .txt). Double click and check in the Task Manager if your miner is actually running.

Try to use 2 threads/GPU. "gpu_thread_num" : 12,
"gpu_threads_conf" : [ { "index" : 0, "intensity" : 512, "worksize" : 4, "affine_to_cpu" : false }, { "index" : 0, "intensity" : 512, "worksize" : 4, "affine_to_cpu" : false }, { "index" : 1, "intensity" : 512, "worksize" : 4, "affine_to_cpu" : false }, { "index" : 1, "intensity" : 512, "worksize" : 4, "affine_to_cpu" : false }, { "index" : 2, "intensity" : 512, "worksize" : 4, "affine_to_cpu" : false }, { "index" : 2, "intensity" : 512, "worksize" : 4, "affine_to_cpu" : false }, { "index" : 3, "intensity" : 512, "worksize" : 4, "affine_to_cpu" : false }, { "index" : 3, "intensity" : 512, "worksize" : 4, "affine_to_cpu" : false }, { "index" : 4, "intensity" : 512, "worksize" : 4, "affine_to_cpu" : false }, { "index" : 4, "intensity" : 512, "worksize" : 4, "affine_to_cpu" : false }, { "index" : 5, "intensity" : 512, "worksize" : 4, "affine_to_cpu" : false }, { "index" : 5, "intensity" : 512, "worksize" : 4, "affine_to_cpu" : false }, ],

Hi, thanks for your help, but I get a windows script host error. Code 800A03EA maybe you can do something with that? Hi folks,

Is a Syntax Error in vbs file, maybe my mistake. I will check in my PC later. Edit Ok i found the problem, was a my mistake. This is my file set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") wshShell.run "C:\Users\mining\Desktop\Mining\xmr-stak-amd\xmr-stak-amd.exe",0,true If you copy and paste will have only one string, but the right syntax is two strings, like the code. Most important, don't use space in the folder name.

Then I closed miner, reapplied HBCC trick and run miner again. 1990 was back again. Very stable. Important thing is to keep temps low!

good morning:) I'm gonna ask another question. is there the possibility to start the whole thing only after a certain time of not doing anything and as soon as the pc is working again the whole thing is stopped? it would be better if it does something all the time, but as soon as you're sitting at the pc it runs a little less.... I hope you understand me, my English is really bad.... wow, thx! all fine, this work for me too very nice! Is a Syntax Error in vbs file, maybe my mistake. I will check in my PC later. Edit Ok i found the problem, was a my mistake. This is my file set wshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") wshShell.run "C:\Users\mining\Desktop\Mining\xmr-stak-amd\xmr-stak-amd.exe",0,true If you copy and paste will have only one string, but the right syntax is two strings, like the code.
