Fail-over feature will be added within 24 hours for both GPU and CPU miners.

We need ability to use fail-over pools.
And there is one bug: my miners under cellular modem, and some how there is 2 things:
1. Somehow, miner works ok, but later it can't establish connection to the pool and keep trying - trying - trying. I exit miner and start it again - and all ok.
2. Somehow miner works ok, but later it sais something like can't make dev shares and keep saying it forever. If I restart miner, all ok - connection to pool established, mining ok, dev mining ok.
I think this 2 cases is some problem in connection part of miner. Can you make exit if it fails for 100 attemps for example? I can do some script like   call.miner->miner ->call.miner->miner etc. and it will work perfectly, if you don't want to search for error in algoritm of recconection to pool.

Ok I think Im having the same issue.

and then endless loop

But there is no New job recieved. Both on CPU and GPU miner: my rate is about 20 coins per hour; but last night for 8 hours of mining I got only 3 coins
Please fix it

[restless]

Where is the cpu miner?!

Hi, i've 6xR9 280x and i get 1900 h/s but after 1 hour i receive an error with virtual memory but i've already set it to 32 G any sugestions pls

thx in advance

it would appear the gpu dropping issue has been slowed down, but is still there.

How much does this affect performance?

badly, as it drops gpu's randomly in single and multicard rigs. the usage goes to 0% and it stops hashing and the miner needs to be manually restarted..... yet to figure a fix around for it or a way to automatically restart the miner when the usage drops to 0%.... :-/

Do you get one card which keeps crashing? I have 5 cards in one of my rigs and I NEVER crash when mining X11 and X13 coins... When I mine monero, it crashes

its random which card crashs. some think it could be psu related which iam currently testing. will also be further testing other drivers to see if it has any affect... btw what cards are you running and what brand of memory? hynix or elpdia

all the ddos has slowed my testing thou

[Durgar]

I don't think cards crashing has anything to do with a powersupply, because:

A. The algo draws about 40% less watts, compared to scrypt, and I don't experience crashes with scrypt, xpm, keccak, etc.

B. I never caught the 290's crashing in the one week period that I mined XMR.

C. I spotted 280x with hynix crashing twice so far in that weeks period, while 280x with elpida ram might hash anything from a hour to six before it finally drops to idle clocks and does nothing but wastes energy.

D. Clocks have no effect to the rate of crashing (unless absurbly high, duh) I can set it bone stock, oc, or underclock and it crashes all the same.

My conclusion in the brief time I mined this coin - elpida 280x cards crash all the time, and have worse hashrates than their hynix counterparts (and thats even clock to clock)
Profit estimates and what you get in reality, are far off. Even when the pools aren't constantly down from ddosing. I don't know why, but I'm guessing a whole lot of shares get blown in the wind, thanks to wonky pools that don't seem to find shares, or they get orphaned, or what ever else is happening under the curtains.

Overall mining XMR with crashing elpida cards seems to be a chore of babysitting the client, or risk comming back to check on it the next day, only to find out it's been sitting idle whole night!
Oh and the current gui wallet seems to be more like a duct tape do-it-yourself, for yourself, rather than something for public use. (I'm used to Qt wallets)




PS: The wallet synching, while wastly improved, compared to the ridiculous time it took to get 24h's worth of updating, still makes my internet connection totally unusable.
Redemption to this was to download a bandwidth limiter and choke the upload link, that it totally saturates. Of course limiting the download speed isn't such a bad idea either.

no idea what memory but the cards vary... have a mixture of 7950, 7970 and 280x... the one that crashes is the 7970s

I notice that I have a bad connection to that site 1 to 2 days ago so I'd shifted to pool.cryptoescrow....

[Claymore]

v2.1 is available:

- Reduced number of outdated shares that miner sends to pool.
- Added fail-over feature, "pools.txt" file.
- Added watchdog for pool, if no new jobs are received for 20 minutes - disconnect.
- Added "-ee" option to close miner if no more pools are available in the list.
- Added "-wd" option to close miner if some thread hangs.

Sadly...
Lowest orphans number i have seen on different monero pools

[Burninj]

Anyone having this issue with 2.1
All of the pool I'm mining on show me 0 accepted share, while miner says it's ok...
