Changing pool and increasing the intensity will increase the poolside speed. This miner is a staleshare miner. It's by design.
In 1.36 we have identified and fixed a couple of buffer errors that could cause crashes. The AMD kernel has been rewritten and optimized. Will release soon.

I have been using miningpoolhub with high intensity, but seems like pool hashrate has been lower with versions since the timeout bug occurred.

Try with -t 80

I have reproduced on one of my amd rigs. 1 card seem to timeout. This causes the miner to restart, and recreate dag / loss of poolside hashrate. I am trying 1.35 with -t 80 now..
The default -t 20 in v1.35 is too short.

edit: 3 hours stable with -t 80 , so this is a fix for miningpoolhub and crazypool in v1.35

I have problems since version 1.29. Speed are go lower and lower and lower every second. The miner started with very high speed - example RTX2060S with over 50mh - but the speed goes down and down.
With version 1.28 it start with low hashrate and raising to the max. I use 11.2 cuda version and no i don´t want to update my driver - it is not a solution to update the driver with every new miner version.

LHR unlock not working for me, only a few seconds and the card is locked again. (tested with newest driver)
AMD speed on Polaris is slow, on RX6600XT it show an inflated hashrate by around 10% (TRM = 32,7 | TBM = 34,5) - i have compared it with teamredminer and let it mine for 5 days both, poolside hashrate is slightly higher on TRM
ETC+Zil mining also not working since the first release, and i asked very often - but no solution.
Verthash is also not integrated at this point.

I will give it try in the future, but at the moment i must change the miner to a more reliable one.
We hope for future improvements, keep up your work and thanks.

testing v1.35 now in 2miners(2 days run), get more hash average 760mh, 778reported (rtx3090x6), but get les reward vs flexpool(get more ETH), in flex average 740mh 2% stales, runing same config same oc, only run --xintensity 4096, Any recommendation?

I think 4096 is too high on the 2miners pool. Even if all shares are accepted, some can be stale and give a lower payout.

Record poolside hashrate on the 3090x with --xintensity 3108 (137MHASH) (18 hour run)

The bugs you reported have been added to our github and been fixed

https://github.com/sp-hash/TeamBlackMiner/issues

I have a weird bug in 1.35 with flexpool.
I am sure not a connect problem, because my other rigs are working correct in the same time, and the gminer is never happend.

v1.35 has only 20 second default stratum timeout. This is too short for some pools. You can add -t 80 for a 80 second timout.

As a pool I use Ethermine.
Rigs in farm.
RTX 3060 Ti FHR
RTX 3060 Ti LHR
RTX 3070 FHR
RTX 3080 FHR
RX5600 XT
RX5700 XT
RX580 8GB
RX6700
RX6800
Any recommendations on specific settings would be appreciated.

ok settings on the ethermine pool:

--xintensity 284 works good on nvidia cards on ethermine. If you go higher, you get alot of stale shares.
--xintensity 60 on rx580 8GB
--xintensity 78 on RX6700/rx6800 8GB


note that you can get a few percent poolside increase by changing to the recomended pools and increasing the --xintensity.

How do you set multiple intensity if those cards are on the same rig ?

We have had many bugs in the avg. hashrate. You should run the latest version 1.36.

LHR unlock not working for me, only a few seconds and the card is locked again. (tested with newest driver)

You might need manual tuning of clocks and lhr parameters. Run with --log, and --lock-cclock

example:
RTX 3070 LHR3 60% tdp 7900 memory

RX6600XT it show an inflated hashrate by around 10% (TRM = 32,7 | TBM = 34,5)

You should get much less than 10% difference, but it depends on the pool and intensity. Try the 1.36 version. We have fixed a jumping hashrate bug.

How do you set multiple intensity if those cards are on the same rig ?

First run tbminer --list-devices to get the indexes.

then for 4 cards:

--xintensity [60,24,0,256]

Hi!, i don't know why, but the 1.27 is the fastest version for me, 107mh for the 3080FTW3, all the other releases 104-105mh, with the latest version of the vga driver and older.

[sp_]

1.27 has a higher default xintensity, that give more stale shares.
Try 1.36 with --xintensity 512  or 384

I'm running my 6900XT on windows and the miner is doing quite well except that I am getting a large number of the following messages:

time: 4
Have not received response from pool

Other than that, there were times when this wasn't occurring that I was seeing 71 MH/s as the Average (3 hour) hashrate at the 2miners pool -- which is about 12-13% above anything else I've ever seen!   (512 intensity; 1642 MHz GPU; 2122 MHz Memory {Actual runtime reported values} @ 145 Watts).  

Great work!

Also, I think this may be a windows driver issue and maybe someone has a solution for it, but I notice that my 6900XT will momentarily drop power for a second and then ramp back up to full power.  I am well aware of the fun little quirky behaviour that AMD cards have for running at full power and then deciding to just go into idle and stay there, but this drop to idle and restore to full power a second later is something I've only seen with my 6900XT..  Anyone have any ideas on what's happening?

what does the form mean on your screen, shares 1/1/1 if these are found shares, disabled shares, obsolete shares, then there are too many obsolete shares and this is nothing good

time: 4
Have not received response from pool

When the fee thread is unable to find solutions the pool will force disconnect. This happens sometimes.
We forgot to remove the debug output. Nothing to worry about.

Disable the amd watchdog service.
Disable fast startup mode in windows
use AMD settings to enable fast memory timings
use MSI afterburner to set clocks.

Thanks for your support!

Accepted/Rejected/ (Estimated stale shares)

The estimation code in the miner window is not good, so you should always check the pool. Some pools pay for stale shares.

edit:

cuda 11.4 and 11.2 builds added. Linux will be added in a few days.

Hello, three questions:

1. Is SSL implemented yet ? When I try it the miner says it is not but maybe I am doing something wrong. This is my bat file: TBMiner --algo ethash --ssl --hostname eth-de.flexpool.io --port 5555

2. When using TBM, is it better to use the high difficulty port in flexpool 14444 (I have read in this thread that it works better in high difficulty pools)

3. I cant use --lock-cclock with amd cards, can I ?

Thanks

1. Is SSL implemented yet ? When I try it the miner says it is not but maybe I am doing something wrong. This is my bat file: TBMiner --algo ethash --ssl --hostname eth-de.flexpool.io --port 5555

It's implemented, but not working 100% so we disabled it.

2. When using TBM, is it better to use the high difficulty port in flexpool 14444 (I have read in this thread that it works better in high difficulty pools)

Depends on the rig. TBM doesn't work good on low difficulty but above 1.0 should be ok. Flexpool doesn't pay for stale shares, so --xintensity above 512 (nvida) or 128 (amd) will produce alot of stales.

3. I cant use --lock-cclock with amd cards, can I ?

This option is nvidia only.

which is about 12-13% above anything else I've ever seen!   (512 intensity; 1642 MHz GPU; 2122 MHz Memory {Actual runtime reported values} @ 145 Watts). 

You should make a youtube video.

Hello sp_

"Out of the box" I get more mhs with v1.28 than I do with any other version (1.29,....,1.36). I cant post pictures as I am not a jr. member yet so you´ll have to believe me.

v1.28
rx 590    31.45mhs xint 24
rx 6800  63.27mhs xint 24
1660s    32.44mhs xint 284
1660s    35.38mhs xint 284
1660s    34.93mhs xint 284

v1.36
rx 590    28.84mhs xint 24
rx 6800  62.09mhs xint 24
1660s     31.70mhs xint 192
1660s     34.58mhs xint 192
1660s     34.12mhs xint 192

I guess I could mess about with xint and kernel and all the others but it is too time consuming.
