Claymore XPM GPU Miner discussion

[Claymore]

I've uploaded a small update v3.1, +5% speed for 290/290X, so CPD for these cards is about 2.5 now. For other cards probably you will see even less improvement, so just wait for better update

[aistto]

10ch has to be higher than the current difficulty.  In your screenshot, you would need higher than 10.815227 to find a block.

+100500

[tristartek]

Been at it for about 18hrs with solo on 290x cards and only for 2 blocks for 8 cards.  I think pool might be better unless I find another block in next 6 hours.

Yes, this problem confirmed and fixed, check my folder on MEGA and download v3.1b.

"Less values are better, you can overclock cards or do anything you want to minimize these values."at "Readme!!!.txt" but 1 280X and 2 280X  4CH a lot of difference, speed depends on the minimum value of M? Or 4CH?

Second card is not under v3.1b, it uses v3.1 so it does not work properly. Trust 4ch/h value more than TRT values.

As time increases, 4CH value in reduction of M is reduced so normal? You are the last answer, I understand should be calculated speed with 4CH value. If I continue to use the 3 SOLO?

4ch/h value can varies, but not too much. E.g. if after 5min you see 150K 4ch/h it cannot become 100K or 200K later.

What's new about v3.1b?

[Judgment]

49h solo 3x 290.. no blocks with combined average CPD 8.

Trying the 3.1b for couple days, going back to pooled mining if I'll find no blocks.

Edit: I'm getting TRT values of about 245 per card (1150mhz core) is this normal?

[Claymore]

What's new about v3.1b?

+5% faster than v3.0. v3.1 was unstable so I removed it.

I get TRT 215 on 290X core 1050 memory 1350, CPD is 2.4-2.6.

Oh ok.

Do you have plans to optimize the miner with driver 14.3 and up?

[Judgment]

Ok im seeing Total/Valid blocks 1 / 1 now. So I found a block?

Still no change in wallet balance though, maybe it takes a while to update?

Edit: i'm using Claymore solo edition wallet but in readme it now says: 1. Use official Primecoin wallet with this miner. Should I switch?

no, you use claymore wallet
the part about the official primecoin wallet is you need an official primecoin wallet so claymore can connect to the actual wallet data file
check your immature coins. if you've found a block you should see 7.686 XPM in there. this takes 3200 confirmations to be usable.
to find out how many you've got, just hover over the recent transaction that has two hammers.

No immature coins whatso ever. I'm giving up on solo mining, made 0 profit in almost 3 days.

crazy how the solo miners fee is more than 10% more like 12% fee
