Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3

[henz46]

Can anyone help me to set sample usage parameter for nicehash pool?

Just now using
POOL: stratum+ssl://cryptonight.eu.nicehash.com:33355, WALLET: YOURWALLET.YOURWORKER, PSW: x, ALLPOOLS: 0

I added it the first line of epool.txt
No pool parameters at start.bat !
Set your own YOURWALLET value and YOURWORKER value correctly!!!

okay, thank you very much brother  😁

Hello,

I am having an issue with my claymore cryptonote miner constantly restarting every hour or two, usually with watchdog timeouts. I am running it on SMOS. I've had no issue running the claymore miner for Eth, system is usually stable for days on end. For mining ETH, I usually connect to a pool but for Cryptonight, I am trying out NiceHash.

My rigs use RX580 8G. 1150/2100/1000mV/PowerStage 4 - initially I had the voltage at 950mV and powerstage 3 as these settings have been solid for mining ETH.

My claymore initializing settings are: -wd 1 -r 0 -xpool stratum+ssl://cryptonight.usa.nicehash.com:33355 -xwal yourWallet.yourRigName -xpsw x -allpools 1

Does anyone else run into a similar issue with stability?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Holy crap nicehash pays out bags of cash, but you gotta work with the sketchiest connection ever. Your hashing power will be tossed about the world every few minuets to places like Ubekistan where you connect to a 90's Nokia cellphone running ubuntu taped to the inside of light standard with Starbucks public Wifi connection over tor piggybacked on I2P. I think it's run secretly by a bank where its illegal for financial institution to invest in crypto (**cough**china*couch**cough**), how else do you explain the fucking two week waiting period for direct BTC deposits?? Only a bank would do that!

You can try an separate instance of the miner for every card or small groups of cards, it might help.

edit:

OK I read the FAQ and set up wallet, we wouldn't want Google to miss out on any important data. They claim they'll send some coin in 24 hours... I guess I'm quick to jump to conspiracy theories theses days, you know with the JFK files and all.

In any case I both love nicehash and hate them at the same time; I've mastered doublthink.

Oh that would probably explain why their "accepted" speed keeps changing so much. Didn't realize that they would be switch your connection to somewhere else. I thought the jobs would be coming from the server you're connected to, instead of them connecting you to the client directly that's asking for the hash power.

When you say to do separate instances, do you mean physically disconnecting each one and testing it that way?

I have an unmodded 480RX 8 GB and restarted mining after a few months of pause. Only v9.6 works for me on miningpoolhub with -nofee 1.
Too bad, that the CPU miner hasn't been updatet yet. Only option is - nofee 1.

Due to old hardware HD6990 I am still using 9.7 version. -r120 for regular restart, -allpools 0 - no problem running on eu.nicehash that is close to me. Have you run ping-tests for Nicehash servers? I have similar problem when I got bad ping to other pool.
PS I am using nanopool as failover, and get 30 minutes of failover operation every 12 hours.

Hello everyone.

I'm trying to use this software (ON LINUX) to mine Bytecoin but it seems to me that it want to mine MONERO. I cant understand why it want to mine Monero, how can i tell it to mine Bytecoin??

Thank you verymuch.

Pardon my ignorance what is a pagefile size?? and how can I try 40GB

thx

Pagefile = virtual memory

right click my computer/this pc (on windows 10) - properties - advanced system settings - click tab advance - in performance click settings and you can set the pagefile manually

put 3000 to 40000 or directly 40000 to 40000

Guys,

I'm running a 10 cards rig 8*RX580-4G + 2*RX570-8G + RX480 @ core/mem 1200/2000, 1750 strips. Right now I'm using SimpleMining OS. Had no issues when mining with XMR-STAK, but after changed to claymore v10.2; with these settings, I start noticing rig freezes and miner reboots.

Noticed that by deafault, Claymore V10.2 was passaing the -h 900 & -h 1800 to the 4G and 8G cards respectively. I've downgraded the "-h" parameter to 850 & 1700 respectively @ core/mem 1200/1900 , and it seems to do the trick.

Question, what the heck is the -h? and what it does precisely?

Another question... if I want to configure the failover in SimleMining, whats the path to upload the epools.txt file? anyone knows?

Best.

I'm using Simplemining OS as well and have issues with the miner constantly freezing and reboot. The other issue I get is the miner will restart but the initializing will fail and the miner will be stuck at mining 0H/s.

I've never played with the -h value. On page 1 it says -h deals with # of hashes that the GPU processes so it probably has to do with how intense you run the cards. I'm going to play with this as well and see how it changes. Sucks that you had to downgrade the cards to 1200/1900, I would have hoped that you can at least run at 2000 mem speed. Have you tried to play with the voltage levels?

What do you have your -allpools set to? Right now my settings are this:

-wd 1 -r 0 -xpool stratum+ssl://cryptonight.usa.nicehash.com:33355 -xwal [yourwallet].$rigName -xpsw x -allpools 0

I'm running RX570 4G at 1150/1750/1000mV and RX580 8G at 1200/2050/1000mV.

Hello everyone,

I'm getting started with mining using a pool for this new coin called Electroneum.  I've basically did everything basic in configuring the start.bat file and adding the pool info in conf.txt.  it starts up but i am not showing any information. I have mined some xvg with my radeon RX 550 but this is what i get with claymore...

What do you have your -allpools set to? Right now my settings are this:

-wd 1 -r 0 -xpool stratum+ssl://cryptonight.usa.nicehash.com:33355 -xwal [yourwallet].$rigName -xpsw x -allpools 0

I'm running RX570 4G at 1150/1750/1000mV and RX580 8G at 1200/2050/1000mV.

I had that behaviour when moved to claymore v10.2 but, to be honnest I had a superior speed with it.  Like you, sometimes the miner restart and stay freezed at 0H/s as well. The only way of getting out of this state was rebooting the whole rig. And by rebooting, i mean shutting it off, wait 2-3s in power-off and then rebooting. Lowering the "-h" parameter bring more stability to the system. So, my current onfiguration is:

Cards: RX580-4G,RX580-4G,RX580-4G,RX570-8G,RX570-8G,RX580-4G,RX580-4G,RX580-4G,RX580-4G,RX480-4G

Claymore command line to XMR mining:
-xpool stratum+ssl://xmr-eu1.nanopool.org:14433 -xwal XMR_ADDRESS/$rigName/your@email.com -xpsw x -mport -3333 -h 850,850,850,1700,1700,850,850,850,850,850

As you can see, you can pass to the miner a comma separated values in that each one is to a specific card from my list above. For reference, the default "-h" value  for the 4Gigs cards is "900" and "1800" for the 8Gigs.

My current frequencies for each card are:
CORE: 1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200,1200
MEM: 2000,2000,2000,1900,1900,2000,2000,2000,2000,2000

XMR - Total Speed: 6948 H/s, Total Shares: 1340, Rejected: 0, Time: 06:43                                                       |
XMR: GPU0 715 H/s, GPU1 715 H/s, GPU2 715 H/s, GPU3 686 H/s, GPU4 649 H/s, GPU5 712 H/s, GPU6 715 H/s, GPU7 713 H/s, GPU8 713 H/|
s, GPU9 615 H/s

Hope this help

Can anyone confirm what's the "-h" is doing behind the scenes? and why lowering it a bit bring more stability?

[Biodom]

Hello everyone,
What am i missing?

Are you sure that you are starting correct program (cryptonote and not claymore's dual ethereum miner)?
There is no asm param in Cryptonote.
apart from that (if you are starting cryptonote), include

Code:

-asm 0

in your batch string, although i am not sure if it would help since there is no asm param visible in description.

In addition, read post #1, especially regarding virtual memory allocation.

regarding quoted, read post #1, it explains it quite nicely.
