Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3

[Jshank]

running a GV-R928XOC-3GD (rev. 2.0) r9 280x as my main display and hashing @ 370h/s. windows 64/default 13.12/bat:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
NsGpuCNMiner.exe -o stratum+tcp://

am I missing something? Could I be burning up 80h/s in display?

Same here on one of the amd rigs...4x280x doing 1495h/s (maybe a cpu bottleneck?)

On one of the rigs I get an app crash, and it won't mine no matter what.

What I'd REALLY like to see, is an nvidia miner if you could come up with that.

Have you been following the cudaminer/ccminer thread?  Someone got cryptonight currency working in ccminer but at slow speeds.  Right after that, Cbuchner posted that he got it working too but even faster... not sure how fast but it's exciting.  As I understand, there could be something for XMR in ccminer soon.

I don't see any example of .bat file if you wanna mm BCN/FCN pair on only mm pool, which is unfortunately minergate.com, but can anyone copy one for me please or explain it better than in Read me?
Is this formate OK:

GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
NsGpuCNMiner.exe -o stratum+tcp://fcn-bcn.pool.minergate.com:5558 -u my_mail_I_use_for_minergate_pool -password_I_use_for_minergate

Yup, that is correct. I had to find that one on my own also, but that is exactly how to make MM work on there.

Hey Claymore,
             Why are you hesitant to make the miner work with AMD 14.6 driver? Seems like most miners out there gain a performance of some sort from it.

Catalyst 13.12 recognize only four cards？
Catalyst 14.6 mining slower 30%？
how do i ?

I have a dummy rig I can set up to give you TeamViewer or some other remote access to if this would help solve the problem 280x problems.

Thanks, but it won't help. I can buy a couple 280x more, but who knows if at least one will have this problem. I will do it if I'm unable to find the reason.

Try Gigabyte cards   I have MSI,ASUS,Sapphire and a few Gigabytes. The one rig with Gigabytes in it is about 25-30% slower and also kinda unstable. I saw someone else here  also mentioning low speeds on Gigabytes.
Do you know why there is such a drastic performance gap between 280x vs 290 ? Is it because of optimization or is the 512bit memory bus giving it such a big advantage ?

[TheFuneral]

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?

I have the same problem and it happens with my 3x290,3x290, and 4x290 rigs. The hash rate slowly drops over time. I follows the directions to a T including redoing the entire windows OS and then installing on catalyst 13.12 and this piece of software. Not sure how others are getting stable 290s settings.

Occasionally I'll find them having been rebooted with windows saying it had an unexpected error and have to start the miner again too. So not too stable.

suspecting that one.

Claymore, please fix the pool switching in this thing. Pool ops are starting to call it the "Claymore effect." Pool goes down for a tenth of a second, and all the Claymore miners disappear. Since almost every bit of code used in an XMR pool is buggy as shit, it needs to be restarted every few hours.

confirmed
my miner needs to be restarted every few hours at extremehash 

[aistto]

Does miner support minergate???
I have 5-6 Kh/s working on minergate for 12 hours, get 0.2 XRM

log files send to PM

The same to script was at the beginning or almost any other algorithm - as we can see claymore GPU is BETA amd cryptonote is brand new algorithm and pool work - so IMHO it is normal..

Have 120 to 144 hash improvement on my asus 7770  Catalist 14.6 beta with Claymore GPU 3.3

Yes this miner supports minergate.
You can check what hashrate is displayed in your minergate account.

Ok, update will be available in 1-3 hours. 3 reconnect attempt, every 10 seconds, before switching to different pool.

Hey Claymore,

I test 14.6 for every version and check its performance in details. It is not faster than 13.12. I can release two versions for 13.12 and for 14.6, but actually it's very easy to make miner use 13.12 even if you have installed 14.6:

Confirm.
Didn't work correctly with minergate this night. Hashrate displayed correctly in the  minergate account window, but the shares takes the wrong.
I also have 3 Kh / s working on merged minig minergate for 11 hours.
Get 0.1 XMR fnd  12 FCN instead of  2.3 XMR And 19 FCN. Minergate reports about  49,000 taken shares on each coin.

minegate or miner problem?

I think it is clear that if minergate panel shows hashrate correctly it is not a problem of miner.

Claymore, as per my PMs please add a background thread that polls the main pool every 30sec and switches back when it becomes alive again. And allow normal usernames (eg: sang-2482) for ANY pool address, not just hardcoded support for minergate.

These two options will mean that Betarigs picks up Cryptonite algo and we can all rent our mining rigs out if we desire. Your users will love you.
