Hello,
This is my first foray into mining and I am just testing the waters with my standard desktop. I am getting the below errors and was hoping someone could explain to me what is happening and why it's not working. I am using an AMD R7 200 series with Claymores AMD Zcash AMD GPU miner. I know this isn't optimal for mining. Again, I am just trying to figure it out right now. Thank you for any help.
Error parsing line 5 of config.txt
UNKNOWN OPTION GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR
UNKNOWN OPTION 1
UNKNOWN OPTION GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE
UNKNOWN OPTION 100
UNKNOWN OPTION GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS
UNKNOWN OPTION 1
UNKNOWN OPTION GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT
UNKNOWN OPTION 100
UNKNOWN OPTION GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT
UNKNOWN OPTION 100
The above errors show up as soon as the miner starts running. Additionally once the miner starts running I receive the message below with what I think is an error:
Pool sets new share target: 0x00010000 (diff: 65535H)
ZEC: Authorization failed
: ("id":2,"result":false,"error":null)
Remove those lines from config.txt and add them to start.bat
set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
set GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
set GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
set GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1
set GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
ZecMiner64.exe
Config.txt should look something like
-zpool europe.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20570
-zwal USER.RIG1
-zpsw z
#-tt 75
#-i 6
change user to your own user name
I moved the lines from config.txt to Start.bat. Now when it starts up it displays the following:
C:\Miner\Claymores Zcash AMD GPU Miner v12.6>set GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1
Environment variable GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1 not defined
C:\Miner\Claymores Zcash AMD GPU Miner v12.6>set GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
Environment variable GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100 not defined
C:\Miner\Claymores Zcash AMD GPU Miner v12.6>set GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

Environment variable GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 not defined
C:\Miner\Claymores Zcash AMD GPU Miner v12.6>set GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
Environment variable GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 not defined
Also, I am still receiving the same error after putting my poolhubmining user name in place of user and my worker name in place of Rig1. I included the password even though the site says it doesn't check it.
I am at a loss as to what I am doing wrong.
What is your username? You should input your actual username.workername at USER.RIG1
I figured out the issue with my username. Now it only shows up at the start then starts mining properly. However the set errors are still occuring and I am unsure why. Additionally, I am ordering everything for my first mining rig and have ordered 3 Vega 56 GPUs. The only part I haven't ordered so far is the frame and I was curious if anyone has any insight as to what frame I should buy.
this is the frame I am currently looking at but one of the reviews said it doesn't work wiht RX 580 and the Vegas are longer than the 580s. The reviewer did not however specify why it doesn't work with the 580s.
