Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3

[SpeedDemon13]

- Sources: my miners are closed sources, I don't open sources.

The cryptocurrency community was founded and is based around open-source software. That is a principle I firmly believe in.

I also do not believe you should do something for nothing.

HOWEVER, looking at the dev fees, and the amount of traffic on each cryptonight algo... I would assume that the large population of those mining are now using your miner... which means... you are making a killing.

I can't blame you for doing this... however, I do not see the point other than pure greed as to why you would continue to charge a 5% dev fee, when it is widely known that there are quite a few devs working on the OPEN-SOURCE gpu miners (cbuchner1 has one, albeit his own private stash... cuda only kids). There are many working on the AMD open source miner.


All I'm saying is... you catch more flies with honey, than you do with vinegar.

I don't expect you to do something for free, I wouldn't... but at the same time... don't be greedy. If you're going to charge a dev-fee... you might as well give us the version you're using that is all tweaked out and kicks out a shit-ton of hashes. Everyone knows devs keep the best for themselves, but it makes more sense for a dev who charges a fee with his software to give everyone the best, because that means he's getting more of a return when the dev-fee mining kicks in.

ATM this is the Only gpu-miner.
Yes, auhtor of cudaminer has one... but he is not sharing atm. So its your choice...

Greed makes people do unethical things at times. Open source is the ideal concept, but there a few that don't believe in it, same as the concept of decentralization.

Personally I would feel 2%~3% fee would be more acceptable, as this miner isn't exactly close to the hypothetical hast rates and has too many stales shares at times.

So, will the FCN MM ports on minergate work with 3.2 fine? Or is even MM working with this new miner version?

Solve my issue with making sure the -u was needed to put the email account for minergate in the bat file. Thanks for the no help crypto world....

On to a new issue: My 7970 isn't doing 450 h/s, but 370 h/s. I did gpu allocate at 100%. What settings are optimal to run is close to 450 h/s?

sure mm ports work, but you cant withdraw your coins...
i did a test, and first withdraw was in wallet in seconds, now they wont let me withdraw anymore.
plz be aware when mining at minergate...

I can withdraw FCN and XDN fine, but not XMR/MRO. I'll test throughout the day and see what happens.

So far, there a lot of negative comments/experience from others also. Always a risk with new pools that aren't completely established yet.

I am seeing a slight drop in hashrate from 3.0 to 3.2, anyone else seeing this?

3.0  472-476
3.2  456-460

Is this because of the power enhancements made in 3.1?

I have the same problem. What is this?

I have the same problem. What is this?

Have you tried another pool? I have had great luck at extremehash.

So the miner was seemingly stable for me, but I have yet to have it up for more than 12 hours without the miner stopping and rendering the computer completely unresponsive until a reboot.

It also goes offline from my VNC service.

Sometimes it works fine for up to 16 hours, sometimes it crashes after just a few minutes.

I'm on win 7, got 13.12 drivers, 16GB virtual memory, GPU MAX ALLOC 100 just as previously suggested.

I'm using 3x Gigabyte 290 reference cards with Elpida memories.

Excerpt from the logfile after computer gets unresponsive and miner stops sending shares:

For an hour before I discovered it.


Anyone know what I can do to fix it?

[spiffcow]

On multiple computers the exe for this has apparently been deleted..  WTF?  Does it self delete?  It seems odd that I'd have some malware that would do this on multiple machines

Getting cleaned by anti-virus maybe?  Mining software is often flagged by AV as possibly malicious.

Yep, that was it..  Avast was running in "silent" mode, so it never even notified me.  Unfortunately I didn't discover this until I had unplugged my comp and used another one to change all my passwords to frequently used websites.

[bosondehiggs]

Are there any performance gains between version 3.1 and 3.2 ?

freeze my computer wih 3.2

[33reg]

When i start miner 3.2 - speed 830 h/s Mining time: 00:02
After:
speed 820 h/s Mining time: 00:08
....
speed 780 h/s Mining time: 00:12
....
speed 700 h/s Mining time: 00:16
...
and etc.

After miner restart it repeats... - speed 830 h/s Mining time: 00:02
speed 820 h/s Mining time: 00:08
....
speed 780 h/s Mining time: 00:12
....
speed 700 h/s Mining time: 00:16
...
and etc.

Why?
What my real speed?

[Claymore]

v3.3 is available:

- Improved mining speed up to 5%, depends on card, I get 650 h/s on stock 290x.
- Improved stability.

It seems I fixed issue with bad performance on 280x, though not sure, on my 280x it works fine.

Still the bad performance on 6x280x Toxics 2240H/s

[restless]

soon the miner will be as power hungry as scrypt :O
Is there possibility of adding "intensity" setting, ie trading 10% speed for lower power usage

Unfortunately, there is no way to do it, it will kill hashrate completely.

Sorry friend. I did not see I had new messages. I have replied now.

[surfer43]

Can you make it wait 10 seconds after disconnect and retry before switching pools? Sometimes the pool has to be restarted and it's annoying to lose tons of miners when this happens..

[Claymore]

Put every pool twice in "pool.txt"... Oh, you are on pool-side, ok, I will add 1 retry attempt

Had about 10% increase performance on dualx 280x, same % on 7950 dualx!

good job!

When will you make gpu and memory command, for overclocking?

My two 280x cards still mining at 650 H/s.
