Claymore XPM GPU Miner discussion

[incognitoworker]

hello everyone

Claymore thank u for the awesome Miner

So i don't know if I'm the only one who have this problem !!
every time i run the tool my drive crash had to run Cgminer or sgminer etc for like 5m then run the tool then get it to work ... Solo or Ypool same thing.
i found no other way to fix this problem i even refresh windows. windows 8 and 8.1 nothing
Catalyst 13.12 SDK 2.9
3x 280x Toxic

PS i run it one by one crash at the first run in Les then 30 sec .

Try leaving OC out, only controll temp with tool.
Worked on my rigg.
Happy mining

Have you read readme file? Does "-hc 256" help?

didn't try it yet i really didn't get what -hc dos so i didn't try it but ill 

thank u

incognitoworker ill turn off OC ... thank u

hello

what im doing wrong?

1 rig

2x280x Asus C2T - 3.2 CPD after 14h of run  ( average)
1x280x vapor-x   - 0.0 CPD after 14h of run ( avarage)
CPU G3320

2 rig

2x208x Vapor-x 0.0 CPD after 11h of run ( avarage)
CPU G860

setting in .bat file

color 02
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
NsXpmMiner.exe -o ypool.net -u random -p superhardpass -di 2 -hc 256

why have all Vapor-x 0.0 CPD avarage ( estimated is 1,86) and card found some share.

thanks

[Strannik-74]

My 280X give 189K 4ch/h & 2.2CPD (48h), but how about yours 4ch/h?

So, how much are you getting at these rates per GPU(280x)/24h? Is it worth mining anymore?

==Scrypt*1,5

[as4uz]

Strannik-74 and XPM-guru: what CPU do you have?

My miners disconnect after 24h, the miner is runing for more that 54 hours but the stats from ypool says that my workers are mining for like eight hours, it affects something or it's okay?

I get ~1.6CPD/R9 280x in low CPU usage mode (because I have an AMD Sempron 145).

@hero: yes, as far as I know.

[hero18688]

So higher CPD is better?

Coin Per Day =)

[SpeedDemon13]

For fun, I tried to mine with a 6950 2GB and 6970. Got a TRT ~1000 and CPD~.3 to .4. LOL Definitely GCN cards are best to use for XPM GPU miners.

For the older cards, it only works for 2GB GDDR5 cards.

dude. CPD is chains per day... has nothing to do with the coins...

CPD = 10h Chains Per Day. A 10h Chain might get a block, if it is over the difficulty at the time (near 11 for the time beiing) or not.

Very ineresting, aistto.
Could you also measure some statistics for scrypt, scrypt-N, X11 and keccak.
If you can, of course.

I guess power consumption begins being very important for many miners...

You can tell by ypool past 48 hours connected workers graph that some people switch rigs of during day around US timezones. I guess people in GER, NED and such don't mine anymore because it can't be profitable unless you steal electricity.

It is already pointless to mine scrypt with GPU and lot of them switch to alternatives.

I have noticed that the Average CPD figure doesn't show up unless you hit 10chs.  Either way, i ignore the Estimated / Average CPD.

Your most important indicator of relative card performance is the 4ch figure.  It does not directly indicate profitability, but it does indicate if your card is running at "max RPM" if you will.

Also, you should also be running with -ss 2 (lowest CPU load) as you are not running with quads and you do have multiple cards.  It is always best to keep CPU load under 75% with this miner.

[Claymore]

CPD is "Chains Per Day", for Diff 10.xxx only chains 10 and higher are valid for CPD calculation.
Average CPD is calculated as "number of 10+ chains found per hour" * 24. So if you found 0 10chains average CPD is 0. If you find 1 10chain in first hour of mining Average CPD will be 24 and will decrease smoothly, in an hour it will be 12 and so on, it will decrease until you find another 10chain.
To get correct Average CPD value you need to mine at least for several days, therefore you can use "Estimated CPD" value that is calculated from lower chains. When you mine for many days Estimated and Average CPD will be similar, ideally they will be the same. But, in fact, you will see different values since you need to find a lot of 10 chains to see correct statistics, it takes a lot of time.
To quickly check miner performace you can use 4ch/h value.
