Need help mining ethash

[mojo_man]

Hi,

I am running two RX580's.
These cards mine ethash the best.
The only pool I found dedicated to ethash was this one (if I am wrong please let me know): The Expanse Pool.
It recommends using the claymore dual miner which I did use. I am getting 1111 Mh/s combined for both cards for the sialcoin and about 36.892 Mh/s for Etherneum


I do have some questions/concerns:

I have disabled autoexchange coin and have set both workers to Expanse. But my etherneum value keeps on growing and not my Expanse one? Why is that My command line is as follows

Code:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us-east.ethash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:17020 -ewal username.worker1 -eworker username.worker1 -esm 2 -epsw x -allpools 1 -allcoins 1 -dpool stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:20550 -dwal username.worker2 -dpsw x -dcoin sc

Should I be using a second worker for the 20550 pool? I think so, so I thought I would ask.

I really just want to mine Expanse. Assuming the sialcoin is Expanse and I am getting 1111 mh/s on that one, I could make more coin if I just mined that.
Can someone tell me what I should do differently?
Sorry if I come out as being a little clueless. I have just been mining for three weeks. SO just trying to figure thing out.
Based on whattomine I am better off mining ethash with rx580 cards.

Because you are setting the wrong port of the pool to mine Expanse.
Try this: EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us-east.ethash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20565 -ewal username.worker1 -eworker username.worker1 -esm 2 -epsw x -allpools 1 -allcoins 1 -dpool stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:20550 -dwal username.worker2 -dpsw x -dcoin sc

17020 is the port of auto-selection of more profitable coins on the algorithm ethash

36.892 Mh/s - this is a low hashrate for two RX580
You need to modify BIOS cards and frequency settings (cclock/mclock).

Thanks for your reply.
I have a couple of questions for you but I will ask one at a time. From miningpoolhub.com they gave me the above command line for the Expanse pool. I am not sure what is going on with this part of the line: -dpool stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:20550 -dwal username.worker2 -dpsw x -dcoin sc

I never see any silacoin appear in my mining. What is this part of the command line for? Do I really need it?

Since you are using Claymore Dual in the config and there is a second coin. In this case, Sia, but could be Decred.
Example:


If you want to extract only Expanse then delete this part of the line -dpool stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:20550 -dwal username.worker2 -dpsw x -dcoin sc
Did you specify the address of your Expanse wallet on the pool?

Hi,

I tried what you said and I am glad you suggested it. Means I am getting the hang of this mining stuff.

I just specified my username and worker for the wallet. The money is collecting properly in my account on miningpoolhub.com
Now I just have to figure out the BIOS mod with Polaris Editor 1.6.4
I have another thread about it opened. I am wondering if it is okay to use the one click patch button. Oddly, the program detects two memory types on one of my cards.
I wonder if this is normal but I explain it in that post so I will not go into details here. Any help appreciated with that Polaris Editor issue.

Two types of memory on one card is normal - Hynix and Elpida. Changes to BIOS "one click" is good, but do not forget about the next modification(cclock/mclock) of the card. Read the topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1954245.0

Hi,

I had a look at the link you mentioned in the last post--actually I read it like 4 times before posting.
I have already set up the block chain amd drivers
I came up with this strategy.
Use Polaris 1.6.4 to automatically optimize the straps on the video cards with the "one button" patch option. And use ATI FLASH to flash the bios with the new timings.
Use Afterburner to set the cclock and mckick and undervolt.
Undervolting can just be done a little bit like 1 or two digits on the last number.
1300mhz for core clock to get best hashrate.
Memory clock should be set above 2000mhz.
Memory errors can be monitored using HWiNFO64.
How does that sound?

[burntmytoast]

Hey buddy, you need to use polaris 1.6 one click patch to modify bios and then use ATiwinflash to flash the bios, there are many tutorials out there you can follow but it will increase your hashrate to 25-30 for each card.

Hi,

Thanks for your comment. I already will be doing what you suggest.
I just need to know from senior members if my strategy about the cclock and mclock is good:

Use Afterburner to set the cclock and mclock and undervolt.
Undervolting can just be done a little bit like 1 or two digits on the last number.
1300mhz for core clock to get best hashrate.

All right. Only the core frequency at the ETH mining does not play a role and it is reduced (1164 MHz), and the memory frequency is raised (2100 MHz). Memory errors are monitored in HWINFO - and if there are no or errors, the memory frequency changes +/- 10MHz.
