Not Fixed problem with -cvddc on Beta for Blockchain driver?

PhoenixMiner, thanks a lot for your work!

Could you move card bus number before card name? It's hard to parse log to get it.
I mean change
"2018.12.22:13:38:35.674: main GPU1: GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (pcie 1), CUDA cap. 6.1, 3.9 GB VRAM, 6 CUs"
to
"2018.12.22:13:38:35.674: main GPU1: (pcie 1) GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, CUDA cap. 6.1, 3.9 GB VRAM, 6 CUs"

Or it will be great, if you add bus numbers to API.

similarly, we have the same problem

Ya probably get you shit hijacked, I thought that was weird seeing phoenixminer 4.5 from someone other than PhoenixMiner

[evlo]

So my reported hashrate is 353MH/s
Effective is 343MH/s - it is great that this software even reports real hashrate
on ethermine
0 stales in phoenix miner and 0 bad
4 (1%) stales on ethermine - maximums stales in history chart is 14 or so

How to make this better?

This is after 3 days running.

consumption: 1650 W, day: 39.131 kWh - this seems to high to me, i'm obviously running uder volt under clock and writing about real consumption, no repoted by hwinfo and other bullshit others write

HWinfo
gpu 11 570s should be 1200@875, one 580 is @.925
mem 2040@.890

I did not found any working overclocking utility for linux, but it is long time since i looked so I dunno if it could be better under linux

Yes it's seems a little bit high, with 6x RX470 1140@900 I get 700 at the plug. Around 117W per card, you get 137,5W per card.

[evlo]

I'm mostly worried about the difference 353 reported miner hashrate and 343 on the pool. Well now it is 344.99 on the pool.

So is the dev fee in reality 2.3%?
I can't test what the real rate is on ethminer: 1. it is disconnecting and not connecting back to the pool after about a week. 2. I don't know how to get the real real pool hashrate 3. I don't know if they get comparable AMD performance now.

Do you get <120W for 29-30MH/s per card on linux or windows?

I'm not running much external cooling so I get a lot of hot air for the house That can be even 200W just for the fans, maybe. UPDATE: it is not, fans are at about 17% (HWinfo).



Well barely profitable to mine for me anyways, when I calculate with real numbers, but cards don't seem to be getting cheaper or more expensive on the used market, so whatever.

[anbe2305]

Reported hashrate and effective hashrate on a pool  a difference of 5% is normal when mining.

What versions of RX 570 do you have?

[evlo]

"Normal" does not really explain it.

I also selected my internet connection for the lowest latency possible in the locality to reduce stale shares at least that way. So maybe 1% stales, 1% dev fee, which in the end, when you really need max hashrate and max efficiency to stay even a bit profitable is notice worthy

[anbe2305]

You should try another pool ( maxhash PPLNS) or maybe try solo mining luck with that hashrate i would try ETC solo mining for a week. With ethermine pool you want have the opurtunity because of to many miners to see what can cards do( to many stale shares)Solo pools are more optimised then PPLNS pools. Im only solo mining. You must make calculation on dificulty (TH!!!) your cards find on 24 h basis, but that you want find on ethermine. You should try solo mining pools (maxhash, 2miners,altpool,coinmining, clona).

Implemented dual mining (Ethash/Blake2s) for some AMD GPUs (RX580/570/560/480/470/460 and Vega). Use the new -dpool, -dwal, -dpass, -dworker, and -dcoin options to set the Blake2s pool. You can set the secondary coin mining intensity with the -sci option. For more information see the Readme.txt file. Note that the devfee when using dual mining is 0.9% on the ethash coin (there is no devfee on the secondary coin).

Dual mining not working...

It's not true! Dual mining - working good! On my rig, now working dual mining!

Chances are its a driver conflict. I just recently went through the last 15 or so driver releases trying to get a vega 56 working, and I also used some drivers on 470's and 480. From driver to driver the dual mining quits working. like for me the newest beta driver doesnt dual mine but the current stable does. mess with different drivers to get the dual mining working

[lesjokolat]

Hi a few notes:

Using newer 18.2.2 or 18.2.3 AMD drivers I an not able to make clNew kernels to be used, i define them as 1 but they are set to 0.

this is for vega 64 and fury x

Also the commands -etht its lower limit is 50 but i think going to 25 might allow even faster mining.

Thanks

[fluxy12]

hasn't blake2s already been took by Asics ?

I m using msos with Phoenix client (linux) :
my config :
-eworker RigRayan
-epool etc-eu1.nanopool.org:19999
-ewal 0x**.**
-epsw x
-dcoin blake2s
-dpool xvg.blake2s.com:8888
-dwal **
-dpass c=XVG
-proto (AUTO)
-clgreen 1
-mode 0
-tstop 85
-tt 60
-fanmin 50
-fanmax 100

any help please because with the same config it works on Claymore

This still does not explain the difference at all, how unexpected
I suppose there is maybe some pool with less stale shares.

BTW I restarted the miner and had same number effective, but after about a day, it is again about 10MH/s per rig less in effective, so seems to be caused by devfee and stales.

Maybe PhoenixMiner author could explain how these numbers really work.

After restart I even get incorrect shares, on all GPUs, interresting, before I did not get any. I have 0 memory errors on most GPUs.
