I'm done trying to mine this shit coin with this shit Claymore AMD miner.... Going back to mining Ethereum.... At least that miner will run reliably without hanging up every god time I leave the house for more than a few hours!
Get nVidia cards
Or get better HW/OS... running Claymore ZCash 24/7 on Windows without any problems. Or you can try Optiminer, but I had stability issues with it.There's nothing wrong with AMD cards. I have a mining rig with 6 Radeon R9 380X 4GB and it runs just fine at 940 watts. nVidia cards such as the 1060 are definitely more power efficient, but they are also newer cards and cost more money to get started with. Chances are the problem was with drivers, I've always found AMDs drivers to be difficult to work and god help you if you try to run under Ubuntu. I was never able to get my rig running correctly in Linux. I also used windows 10 professional without any issues, nice and stable on Claymore 12.6 with the Crimson ReLive Edition Beta Driver Version 17.30.1029.
