[ANN] ETHASH Miner - Eminer v0.6.1-RC2 Released (Windows, Linux, MacOS)

[joaocha]

I noticed something else:

Eminer power consumption hashrate +0.3% 30.04MH vs 29.92MH(Claymore 10.0) hynix 8G memory RX580

Claymore power consumption:

A few watts up. Its either due to higher intensity or kernel needs polishing

Where do i get Gpustat for amd?
i want to check on simplemining os

Well it works fine for me, results even more than some other miner.

Thanks for your feedback. like intensity, I can advise 28 for RX580, can you set the intensity on parameters?

Hashrate drops with about 3% after setting intensity to 28.
From 30.04 to 29.5 roughly, power consumption doesn't change much...about 1W roughly.

You can't, I wrote that.

Do you have a list of commands that we can use ?
update: Disregard I found it.

[smparo]

Maybe a bug: sometimes the software reverses video cards, I noticed this because I did some updates today and when I restart the system the fan speed settings are applied to the wrong cards... I solved applying to all the cards the same fan speed for now.

This is the output of the command "eminer -L" when the cards are reversed (note "Device ID for mining" and "PCI bus id")

A small remark.
I am currently mining etc, not eth. Noticed that devfee switches to Eth and generates new DAG each time it switches to devfee, please consider using etc devfee also.

Thanks, thats just for OpenCL, the miner doesnt change any order, I will try map the correct order via PCI Bus ids.

Same with musicoin would be good.

[smparo]

do you have manual or readme ho to use it??

There is no manual, only the comand "eminer -h" for help
If you use ethermine you can use this command (for me intensity 30 is the best value and I have the fan set at 75%)

eminer.exe -S eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -U your_address -P x -intensity 30,30 -fan-percent 75,75

[bitcoyim]

when i put eminer -h at my .bat, its auto close

just open command promt (cmd)

Go to your eminer folder, for example:

cd C:\user\test\desktop\eminer
eminer.exe -h -> type this

[Mattthev]

when i put eminer -h at my .bat, its auto close

At the end of the batch file put pause, it won't close.

Code:

pause

[christianCoder]

Do I have to enter my wallet password in the eminer config file for this to work?

[E-Miner]

Do I have to enter my wallet password in the eminer config file for this to work?

Of course no, you should enter stratum password.

[christianCoder]

Of course no, you should enter stratum password.

Ok, so I'm currently using Claymore's with ethermine.org  My Claymore config file doesn't have a stratum password. So will eminer work without one? If not, how do I create a stratum account and get a password?

[E-Miner]

Of course no, you should enter stratum password.

Ok, so I'm currently using Claymore's with ethermine.org  My Claymore config file doesn't have a stratum password. So will eminer work without one? If not, how do I create a stratum account and get a password?

You can use x as a password for ethermine.org.

Thanks for clarifying! This seems very legit! With the devfee on, we're currently getting 3Mh/s more with Eminer than with Claymore.

For anyone else using Claymore on linux, the bare minimum equivalent for Eminer is:

Code:

./eminer -S us1.ethermine.org:4444 -U wallet_address -P x

This can be placed in a shell script to execute on system boot.


Here is the output from the Eminer help file:

Code:

christianCoder$ ./eminer -h

for me, when i use eminer with amd ma gash rate drop to 28++
i i use claymore my hashrate 32++

Please give me name of your OS and the AMD device.

[bitcoyim]

rx 580 saphire+
win 10 64 bit

I have same config with 32mh++ on eminer.

Can you give me a teamviewer? I can check your config
