Hi,

I am running two RX580's.
These cards mine ethash the best.
The only pool I found dedicated to ethash was this one (if I am wrong please let me know): The Expanse Pool.
It recommends using the claymore dual miner which I did use. I am getting 1111 Mh/s combined for both cards for the sialcoin and about 36.892 Mh/s for Etherneum


I do have some questions/concerns:

I have disabled autoexchange coin and have set both workers to Expanse. But my etherneum value keeps on growing and not my Expanse one? Why is that My command line is as follows

Code:
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us-east.ethash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:17020 -ewal username.worker1 -eworker username.worker1 -esm 2 -epsw x -allpools 1 -allcoins 1 -dpool stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:20550 -dwal username.worker2 -dpsw x -dcoin sc

Should I be using a second worker for the 20550 pool? I think so, so I thought I would ask.

I really just want to mine Expanse. Assuming the sialcoin is Expanse and I am getting 1111 mh/s on that one, I could make more coin if I just mined that.
Can someone tell me what I should do differently?
Sorry if I come out as being a little clueless. I have just been mining for three weeks. SO just trying to figure thing out.
Based on whattomine I am better off mining ethash with rx580 cards.


Because you are setting the wrong port of the pool to mine Expanse.
Try this: EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us-east.ethash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20565 -ewal username.worker1 -eworker username.worker1 -esm 2 -epsw x -allpools 1 -allcoins 1 -dpool stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:20550 -dwal username.worker2 -dpsw x -dcoin sc

17020 is the port of auto-selection of more profitable coins on the algorithm ethash

36.892 Mh/s - this is a low hashrate for two RX580
You need to modify BIOS cards and frequency settings (cclock/mclock).
