Zilminer - mine POW coin in dual mine mode with almost no power use!!!!!

[RuMiner]

what is your primary miner that has to start running after the ZIL *99 epoh?

Claymore's dualminer, but it's not the problem. switcher doesn't even run a bat file

what ZIL miner version are U using?
do you have 3 bat files in the ZIL folder?

try this scheme ->

start.bat

Code:

C:\MIN\Haven_new\SRBMiner-CN-V1-7-7\start-haven

startZIL.bat

Code:

zilminer.exe --pow-start stop.bat --pow-end start.bat --pow-end-at-startup -P zil://0xblablablaMyZILwallet.nameRig@207.180.192.43:4202

stop.bat

Code:

taskkill /f /im SRBMiner-CN.exe

Instead of my SRBMiner point it to your bat file from Clay and it should work
I'm using the v0.2.20 ZIL miner version https://github.com/DurianStallSingapore/ZILMiner/releases

what ZIL miner version are U using?

zilminer itself works correct with those bat files. I mean this switcher adviced by reb0rn21 on previous page.

ooo k 
didn't test that one, cause the 3 bat file combination still works for me, so, as far as is stable I will use that way to dualmine mine ZIL

big_daddy, sometimes during pow time I'm getting a error window with zilminer crash. so it closes itself and rig is idle until I run primary miner manually. But I've managed with it using eventlog and windows scheduler as described above )

do you have enough MEM available on your GPUs?

[RuMiner]

do you have enough MEM available on your GPUs?

I have mix of 4Gb and 8Gb card rigs minig ETH with 2.91Gb DAG, so I use --clear-dag key

have you tried those commands? --farm-recheck  --work-timeout?

[RuMiner]

have you tried those commands? --farm-recheck  --work-timeout?

yes, full string is
%~dp0zilminer -P zil://0xB45db9D35392B94ecf66ACCf0b2079Fd891F5547.%computername%@rudnik.hopto.org:5000/api --report-hr=1 --pow-start powstart.bat --pow-end powend.bat --work-timeout 10800 --pow-end-timeout 30 --farm-recheck 15000 --clear-dag

try to run your Clay only for 24h, maybe there is a bug, not in ZIL
you have to check and detect every possible single thing

[RuMiner]

try to run your Clay only for 24h, maybe there is a bug, not in ZIL

what do you mean? it is taskkilled every 2-3 hours by zilminer

[big_daddy]

I mean, to avoid ZIL for a xy hours, to check if your miner is stable with Clay only, so maybe there is a problem
But, I'm already sure that should be something else... and at the end will be a banality....

[RuMiner]

no, all rigs are weeks-stable with Claymore only. I have a suggestion this can be because of taskkill /f, primary miner doesn't clean GPU memory in this case. If I press a cross in the console corner, it closes correctly with corresponding message for one second. Maybe I should find a way to shutdown primary miner correctly. taskkill without /f key doesn't work

I see where you are doing it wrong

is not --pow-start powstart.bat --pow-end powend.bat

this is correct: --pow-start powend.bat --pow-end powstart.bat

[RuMiner]

is not --pow-start powstart.bat --pow-end powend.bat

that is OK, I've just swapped them according to the logic. powstart.bat kills primary miner, powend restarts it again

[big_daddy]

is not --pow-start powstart.bat --pow-end powend.bat

please send me the copy/paste of those 2 bats to check them

[RuMiner]

Code:

powstart.bat
echo %date% %time% PoW Start >> %~dp0logs\zil_%date%_log.txt
title zilminer on %computername% since %date% %time%
taskkill /F /IM EthDcrMiner64.exe

Code:

powend.bat
echo %date% %time% PoW End >> %~dp0logs\zil_%date%_log.txt
call %~dp0start.bat 3

start.bat does some checks, logs and runs %~dp0EthDcrMiner64.exe in its last sting

I'm running without --clear-dag now and it seems to work along with ETH mining. strange for 4Gb card, but still it works )

have you tried without those echos?
put in the powstart.bat only this

Code:

taskkill /f /im EthDcrMiner64.exe

and point your powend.bat directly to your folder

Code:

C:\MINER\Clay\Start.bat

[RuMiner]

ok, I'll try after testing without clear-dag. maybe it will work stable until DAGs grow over 4Gb
my actual question is why several starts-ends during one pow window

proxy is using blockexplorer API for start/stop and blockchain sometimes send wrong data when we reach 98-99 block chain can be stuck 2-3min and miner start primary miner again beofore pow, atm there is no solution that is why zil switcher works better as you can setup it better
