I am a complete idiot :(

Hello all,

It was suggested that I come here for some possible suggestions and help because I am lost on how to set up things. I did finally manage to get claymore miner up and going, but it took me a 4 days. But I can say that I am currently mining Ethereum as we speak. But I want to be able to mine other coins and I just can't seem to get anywhere. I can never get any other miner to run. They just flash and disappear.

I would like to be able to mine other coins like Lizus, GoByte, ZenCash, Zcash, RavenCoin and a slew of others. But I am just not savvy enough to do this. I have read and watched YouTube video's, followed guides step by step, but I am making mistakes somewhere along they way. To be honest, I am amazed I got Claymore up and running. But it has been chugging along for 2 days without any issues with the cards overclocked.


If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it.

I am running Windows 10 64bit home.
I have 1070 Ti Nvidia Cards.

Thanks in advance,

Jaye

Could you show us your Claymore script?

Below is the example script for dual mining with claymore (nanapool)

Code:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal YOUR_ETH_WALLET/YOUR_WORKER/YOUR_EMAIL -epsw x -dpool "http://sia-eu1.nanopool.org:9980/miner/header?address=YOUR_SIA_WALLET&worker=YOUR_WORKER_NAME&email=YOUR_EMAIL" -dcoin sia

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal YOUR_ETH_WALLET.rig1/email -epsw x -mode 1 -ftime 10

this is running well for me. (I took out my wallet and email) I have 5 1070TI and was getting around 33 each card.

And the good news is I was able to get another miner working last night after several attempts for the coin Liz. ccminer, or at least a version of it.

Thank you for your reply.

I forgot to ask, this is probably a dumb question but, with these 2 miners is it possible to mine most all coins? Or am I confusing this?

I'm assuming you're running two miners at the same time as two individual windows. Since claymore has designed to support dual mining in one window you should probably get use for its features.

Your current setting is

Code:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal YOUR_ETH_WALLET.rig1/email -epsw x -mode 1 -ftime 10

Add the following code for mining both ETH and Sia simultaneously or check the claymore thread for other coins setting

Code:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-us-east1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal YOUR_ETH_WALLET.rig1/email -epsw x -ftime 10 -dpool "http://sia-eu1.nanopool.org:9980/miner/header?address=YOUR_SIA_WALLET&worker=YOUR_WORKER_NAME&email=YOUR_EMAIL" -dcoin sia

I forgot to ask, this is probably a dumb question but, with these 2 miners is it possible to mine most all coins? Or am I confusing this?

These are coins that claymore support dual mining along with ETH - Decred/Siacoin/Lbry/Pascal/Blake2s/Keccak

Check out whattomine.com and you might find a more card friendly coin to mine.  You mentioned Ravencoin and I think that's a great option.
