Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3

[sammy007]

Are there any plans to implement merge mining soon?

I would like merge mining

Merged mining sucks, guys. Like free coins, everyone will dump them immediately and such coins will be killed quick. Absolutely worthless.

[UberMakedonische]

any news when is coming next version of the miner?

[Eastwind]

This miner app is pissing me right off, I cannot get any version past 3.4 to run stable without the OS hanging.  I have tried a load of different settings, drivers, underclock's etc and all the same, app crashes and takes out the OS.  My batch file looks like this:

:BEGIN
start "CryptoNote" /low /wait NsGpuCNMiner.exe -o stratum+tcp://pool.minexmr.com:7777 -p x -u [XMR Address] -a 2 -wd 1 -ee 1
timeout /t 30
GOTO BEGIN
exit

I have tried both 13.12 and 14.6 drivers, Windows 7 and 8.1, I currently have my tri-x cards underclocked to 947/1250 but it also happens with them at stock clocks, I have 6 cards in each rig and nothing I do seems to fix the hangs in OpenCL call, app crash and then OS hang.

Beyond frustrated.

Anyone running similar set-ups, what OS, drivers, miner version etc?

Please create a Linux version of this app, with the 5% fee you have made from everyone surely should fund a Linux version, or maybe even just open source it and let the community make this application better.

I tried your script, it starts the miner every 30s without closing the previous one. So there will be multiple miners running simultaneously.  How do we stop the previous miner and start a new one?

Is it possible to write a script to test if the miner is running smoothly, if not, then stop the miner and start and a new one?

That's not what I get with that script, it starts the miner and then if the -wd 1 option kills the app and restarts is after 30 seconds, I've been using that since version 2 of the miner.

I've now got 2 rigs that just will not stay running on windows 8.1 with either 13.12 or 14.6 drivers and any version of the miner app, I get watchdog: thread {some big number} hangs. exit.....but it doesn't exit and instead takes out the OS, absolute pain in the ass.

Why are we paying a 5% fee if the app doesn't work with certain configurations and there have been no updates, feedback from the dev.  It may work on your system, but is your system like many peoples out there, probably not, and if we are paying a fee then you should be asking questions from people who are having issues with your app.

I have three 7950 rigs that have been hashing away for weeks with no issues yet I have nothing but problems with my tri-x 290 rigs.  I'm about to give up and mine any old shit x1* coin as the only windows miner doesn't work yet I'm paying for the privilege, great....please sort it out.

Maybe it is because I use 6.1

Linux version?

I totally agree. Merge mining gives too much difference between different kind of mining.

If the miner doesn't work then you aren't paying anything.

Try this: install driver 13.12, install MSI Afterburner 3.0.1 and set up with the settings 1000/1250 and in the bat file try only this
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 80
NsGpuCNMiner.exe -o stratum+tcp://bcn.extremepool.org:7777 -u -p
on this settings i am running 18 r9 290 tri-x for past two monts and i have none problem.

Same here but with 6 x GPUs.

 -li 1 -a 1     Remember to add that to your command line   I run my 290s  at full 100%  default settings  for MSI  been running long time  week or more  14.6 drivers    Win 7  8 gigs ram

Looks like Claymore get tired of your bargain and "the king has left the building..."

[MKDpump]

stop scaming the Claymore, even he must go to vacation, it's August and he's probaly resting. and if you are smart enough make your own miner with 0% fee, until then stop crying about 5%.

[Vlad2Vlad]

I've been hearing good things about this.

Cheers!

[Sglasio]

How much has 6990 hash and power ? On Elpida and Hynix ?
Becouse 2 card is arrived soon, and i don't know what memory installed.

[antonio8]

Safe to say Claymore is done with updates?

He's been awefully quiet lately.  Not like him.

Perhaps he's working on private miners for private clients. 

[Claymore]

I'm on a trip, I will be back in a day. v6.1 is not final version

[ozzy1926]

I'm on a trip, I will be back in a day. v6.1 is not final version

add XCN to your list

[rots]

it's meaningless to develop new version, because all miners hash power will grow, therefore
no one can get more profit.

I agree with you. Claymore should only develop the miner further if he can extract more mining performance with existing power consumption, so that we can compete with CPU. At present, CPU is more efficient than GPU.
