[Cast XMR] high speed XMR/CryptoNight miner for RX Vega GPUs (2 KHash/s)

[agrippa4]

Does anyone know how (or if) you can use Cast 0.6 on Nicehash? I'm not getting how to set up the .bat file correctly.

I have:
 

cast_xmr-vega -S cryptonight.usa.nicehash.com:3355 -u Wallet.Worker/email %* --opencl 1 -G 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7

This results in "no pool server and username configured."

I think your user name is wrong.  I just use BTCwalletaddress.workername

Everything else looks ok I think.  This is my command line (BTC address changed to protect my privacy):

cast_xmr-vega -G 0 --opencl 1 -S cryptonight.usa.nicehash.com:3355 -u 1Ljdskfhsjdhfjsdfhkjsdhfkdshfksd.castxmr

Figured it out. The newb that I am was trying to run the .exe

Thanks

Is there anything that can be done to reduce "outdated" shares on NiceHash?  I think the only way to do this is to reduce the difficulty and as far as I know there is no way to do this with NiceHash.

Also I still get random drops on my Vega 56 from 1950 H/s to 1710 H/s after some period of time.  I'd really like to figure this out, it's going to be a big problem as I scale up my Vegas.  Does Cast XMR have an API to monitor hash rates?  I could just restart things on a timed basis but that is a kludge and not very efficient.

is nicehash more profitable than other pools?

I use XMR-stak-amd and had same issue, keeping wattman open resolved it, you can try it.

any solutions for my question in my previous post maybe?

Perfect

Hi,

I got rx VEGA 56 8gb POWER Color with micron RAM, bought this card mostly for testing and haven't managed to do any good results.

I've managed to hit 35mhs / 160-175watt on ether while i only got at 750hs on monero and 350 on zec both at around 200 watt.

I have not found bios mod for this type of card.

What is the best coin to mine with this card and what should my settings be to use it's full potential?


Card running on:
win7 latest update
Crimson relive 17.10.2
Afterburner 4.4.0 19 beta
atikmdag-patcher YES

Well first of all you have to use the blockchain driver.

The blockchain driver is 17.30.1029, not 17.10.2, right?

[tf2addict]

this program working with rx 470?

I don't have 470s but it works fine with my 570s and 580s.

Yes I have 3 570s, 2 580s, and 1 Vega 56 in same rig.

Hi, i am struggling here, i have installed the blockchain drivers from 23 august and then i selected local driver.
Let the installation reboot and whatever.
Then i run this cast xmr and it doesnt complain about the compute blockchain thing which is good, but then it doesnt proceed, it just exits.

I have tried the installation 2 times, same bloody thing.


  Cast XMR 0.6.0 CryptoNight mining optimized for AMD Radeon Vega GPUs

  Coded by [glph3k] for more info visit http://www.gandalph3000.com
  Donating 1.5% mining power to developer. Thanks.

  For current stats press 's'
  For seamless exit press 'q'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[20:20:58] Initializing GPU, loading kernel ...
GPU0: Ellesmere | 32 Compute Units

Then it exits, I cant understand this.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Obviously when i have normal regular drivers such as 16.11.x then it starts and it shows me....:
......
[20:21:00] Blockchain Compute Driver NOT detected.

By installing the AMD Blockchain Compute Driver upto 80% higher hash
rates can be achieved. For more info check http://www.gandalph3000.com

And it starts mining.



But again, when i install the blockchain drivers , which are supposed to change my life, it doesnt even start mining.
I also noticed that all my mining apps dont work, like mining pool hub and zecminer64 and sgminer , they just start but then exit....

Please assist me in how to install them properly.

I followed a youtube video, clearly it doesnt work.

Are you running the run.bat file?

Perfect

what cards are you using?
I am using RX470,s x3 and i cant get this blockchain driver to install and work.
I mean it installs but then my miners dont work

Minergate is propitiatory so i would not bother with that mining pool, unless u have a hack to log in.
Their GUI or command line utilities are the ones they want u to use.
From what i have seen, you dont fully use your GPU or CPU power on their pools, meaning it has to be going somewhere else.

Does anyone have problem with hash rate drop after closing Teamviewer session? I have stable 1800h/s per card mining speed with my 8x VEGA 56 mining rig when Teamviewer is on. But if I close Teamviewer and come back after couple of minutes then cards have dropped to 1500h/s. I have HDMI Dummy Plug and I have disabled lock screen from Windows and I'm using blockchain AMD drivers. Also I disable and enable all gpu's before starting XMR-miner.

OC Settings of GPU's (testing phase):
Core: 1200 / 950mv
Memory: 915 / 950mv
Power Limit: -20%
