After seen lot of people having problems now with Claymore, and the big crash of yesterday I have made an easy table of how to continue mining with another miner, that is able to mine with Nvidia and AMD.
....
or just switch to PhoenixMiner_5.3b_Windows , you basically can use the same Start.bat file , replace
EthDcrMiner64.exe to PhoenixMiner.exe and change the tag before your wallet address from -ewal to -wal .
If you are on windows you should run the miner program as a admin first ...
Well on one hand, I'm glad to see it wasn't just me freaking out as I walked into the same situation everyone else is this morning. I also have AMD 8GB cards so I wasn't expecting this to occur.
I do hope that Claymore is aware and can update/fix the problem. When first setting up my rigs I tried a few and Claymore's Dual was just the simplest/easiest to setup and get going. Though I will take a look at PhoenixMiner again.
Am I to guess this has something to do with Eth2.0 being released yesterday?
Actually it has to do with the dag growing close to the 4gb limit. There arr issues as well from this that have created issues on other miner software. But as noted previously Claymore has not been active on updating. So if you are having issues best to find another miner. There is not much hope that Claymore is going to update. But as ive stated on some linux systems its still working without a problem but will defintely stop soon on 4gb cards. Devs like lolminer have provided a zombie mode for 4gb cards to keep mining but at ever increasing penalty. Those will fail in short order as well. But at least the active miner devs will keep mining going for all of us.
