ETC Mining with 3 GB Nvidia- cuda error - cannot allocate big buffer for dag

[velma]

I've been mining ETC with a 3 GB rig using SMOS and Claymore version 11.9. I know that in early 2019 the 3 GB cards will not work for this algorithm anymore. Two days ago,  I received this "cuda error - cannot allocate big buffer for dag. check readme.txt for possible solutions claymore."

I found this thread...

A quick fix was to add -eres 0 to the command line but that's not working anymore as my rig stopped hashing again and won't reboot.

Any suggestions on how to keep this going  until early 2019? Thanks in advance.

No way, ETC already stopped with rigs having a 3GB main card. The temporary workaround is to put a 4GB+ card into the first x16 slot, but it will break again in roughly 2 weeks.
ETH mining will be dead as well on 3GB cards by the end of the year, so I'd recommend you to find an alternative.
