Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3

[HeavyDeisel]

I picked up some AMD Radeon RX 580's on the cheap,, can someone show me a sample bat file to use to mine monero at a good monero Pool, i watched a bunch of videos, but my bat. keeps crashing on the start...lol, thnks

[evlo]

rx570 8g - i made bios that takes care of overclocking and undervolting, because i was diasappointed with how amd overclocking works on linux (it almost does not )
eth only
windows 29.6Mh/s @ 105w
linux 29.2Mh/s @ 125w
power is card only not whole system, not gpu only.

Any idea why linux has worse performance and more power conspution? I run claymore with exact same parameters.

[Trimegistus]

How stable is this with 6+ video cards?  I cant seem to get all 10 of mine running.

It works fine with 6

I see I'm not alone with this error each time devfee tries to connect to cryptonight.usa.nicehash.com, here are my log files if anyone can help...

Everything seems to be OK at the beginning, then the devfee comes :

So the miner tries to restart and here are the lines that are not in the same state than previous starting :

 card 0, m1 748, m2 512 w 288
 0 m = 0
 Bad performance mode, you need to set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
 GPU #0 algorithm ASM, -h 900, -dmem 1 (Memory used: 3780MB)
OpenCL error 0 #101 - -61, cannot create GPU memory buffer
OpenCL error 0 #101a - -61, cannot create GPU memory buffer

Here is what I can read for the first start :

Code:

GPU #0: Ellesmere, 8055 MB available, 36 compute units
 card 0, m1 8055, m2 4048 w 288
 0 m = 2
 GPU #0 algorithm ASM, -h 1800, -dmem 1 (Memory used: 7560MB)

I tried with overclocked bios, with stock ones, tried to remove -dmem 1, tried with other pools... Still the same error... Last week with exactly the same args, I had no problem... I thonk it's due to devfee mining pool but I'm not sure, I have to use -nofee 1 for the moment but I'd prefer find a solution...

Oups I forgot, I mine electroneum ETN with that card

Same problem with HIVE os, its problem  with hacked nicehash only Claymore support can fix it.

[Asgaroth]

Hi,

I seem to be getting the following error popping up about 4 to 5 times whenever claymore starts:

Code:

GPU#0 got incorrect share. If you see this warning often, make sure you did not overclock it too much...

Then I dont see the messages for a while, but, when the dev fee kicks in it switches pools, finishes and tries to pull from my configured pool, then I see the errors 4 or 5 tims again, then nothing for some time, rinse and repeat.

I noticed when claymore starts up it setting the -h parameter to 1800, looking at my hash rate per card it seems to hover around 745 - 748 H/s. Do I need to drop this -h parameter down a bit?

What is the recommended setting for the -h paremeter? I have 2 x AMD PowerColor Red Devil RX 580 Golden Sample with BBT modded BIOS applied, I obtained the BIOS from here.

Any thoughts/tips/suggestions much appreciated.

[JoeBobJr]

Having some issues with this miner. I was using awesome miner which uses the 10.x version and I was getting a ton of share errors. I adjusted the -h many different ways and nothing was working so I started researching. I ran across a couple threads on other sites saying to use t he 9.7 version because it doesn't do very well on the r9 270x models. So I downloaded it and noticed it required 15.12 drivers so I downloaded those removed all the old driver files and installed the new one. I started using the miner and used it a couple days then stopped because I was mining other things. I tried to go back to using this miner again today and now every time I open it crashes. Maybe someone here can point me in a direction how to get this miner working again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure why the images or not showing I've used the img tags the forums provides if a moderator sees this please fix the images so they will load int he post. TY!

EDIT: I've wanted to mention also that I've tried sfc/scannow to check windows files making sure they are okay. I've also turned off my Microsoft Security Essentials making sure it wasn't causing the exception. Still no luck. The crazy thing is just a couple days ago this miner was running smooth as hell with no issues at all for several days. As far as I know I haven't changed anything on this desktop in several weeks. Same overclock and all that.

SOLVED: For some reason when you try to mine ETN with claymore 9.7 you can not use the config.txt or the epools.txt. You have to put all the flags in the same line inside the batch file. IF you do not it will crash the miner every single time! Makes absolutely no sense to me but I got it working now after 8 hours messing with this crap!!!

Use the 9.7 version of the miner. You may have to go back to an older version of the drivers it requires 15.12 drivers or at least it recommends them.

You must have posted x amount before they appear. This’ll help ya out.

As far as your problem. Have you tried to redownload the miner?  That might help. Maybe a file was deleted as virus

Claymore the bullshit master. Says three week ago, coming the next version in a few days. Of course, coming, oh yeah, coming...and coming...and coming, of course coming....

Yes I've tried that several times. Thing is claymore doesn't come up as a false positive on microsoft essentials or chrome. Normally if I download a miner and chrome warns me I turn off my antivirus till I get it in my executions folder. That's what has me beat. It was working just days ago and now it isn't and I haven't changed much if anything on this pc.

I love the miner its better than any miner for monero for r9 270x cards. I've tried every setting possible for weeks to get xmr-stak to run good for me and it won't ever get more than 360 h/s but claymore will push 420 h/s sometimes higher. Not to mention xmr-stak lags my computer out so bad that I can't even use its completely unusable. I have to stop the miner in order to even type this message otherwise it would take me about 30 seconds to even try to fill this message out. I've been trying settings for weeks and nothing gets better than 360 and nothing stops the lag. Claymore runs so smooth its crazy I can do anything I want without any lag at all and running 400+ h/s. Even if he takes two more months to do an updates its worth it.

[booz]

Plese, remove Nicehash from devfee list, becouse miner crash when trying mine devfee on nicehash

[gOCe]

What cards do you have? how many memory on the cards?
How much virtual memory do you have?
try use -dmem 0

Thanks, it worked. But now I get errors for all 6 GPU's reporting GpuMiner dk2an0 failed -4.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

Have you increased your page file size?
http://www.thewindowsclub.com/increase-page-file-size-virtual-memory-windows

[ser_ator]

Is there anyone mining cryptonight with claymore xmr 10.2 without the gpu errors? i am running claymore xmr 9.7 perfectly with my R9 280Xs.

yup
if you use 10.2 miner with 270/x 280/x 7850(2gb) card you will have 15-20% incorret sharre (... gpu errors ... try to low -h parameter... message)
its to much
 lowering -h parameter, changing display driver, raising virtual memory ... will not fix...


i suppose clay more don t have time to to TRY to fix miner for those old cards

Please help.

how manny card you have ? 6 ? are they 4gb or 8 gb version ?
how much virtuall mem you put ?
put 32 ,48 or 64 gb virtual memory
try -h 895 -dmem 1 ; -h 1700 -dmem 0 ...

[rascabily]

why this error? 4 480 4g

https://prnt.sc/hlktqz

[notbatman]

"-allpools" option is set

and then

"the miner hangs, then"



Q: Why is the miner hanging?

A: Because Nicehash are thieves, they stole my fucking money.



Q: and then?

A: it uses the "-nofee 1" option or it hose again.

It is no matter if 4GB or 8GB. Eg. Gigabyte 480 8GB Samsung.
Cards are 470/480, rig 6 cards. System is Simplemining.pl on USB 16GB.
