I was running 7 1070's in each rig previously. Recently updated from an older version of Claymore, now can only run them with 6 cards (I have to unplug 1 card/rig so that it does not crash immediately).

Thoughts ?

My money is still not credited, what should we do?

How long has it been for you, and what amount of ETH are you dealing with?

Any updates from those whose transactions were not showing up on Poloniex?

I transferred 3.8 ETH into Poloniex about an hour ago. Sitting at 145 confirmations, but does not show yet. I suppose this is normal...

THANKS

Now 18 hours, and $1,200+ is in LIMBO.

I created a support ticket, but from what I see here I should just sit back and find something else to do (or be concerned with).

Lack of true regulation is a double edged sword...

Claymore's Ethereum Miner Crack charges v7.5

ETH redirects developers to charge gadgets that are perfectly compatible with all Claymore kernel mining software.
Claymore's Ethereum Mining NoDevFee v7.5
When you use Claymore's Dual Etherem Miner,
This program can help you save your money and earn more. It will re-redirect 1% (or 2% of the dual mode) to the designated wallet address.

...

Anyone else consider some cracks, this one being a good example, unethical?

---

As an aside, would it be fair to assume (I've not done any research) that the Claymore miner is the best for ETH?

Anyone have experience with altering the ETH intensity?


-ethi   Ethereum intensity. Default value is 8, you can decrease this value if you don't want Windows to freeze or if you have problems with stability. The most low GPU load is "-ethi 0".
   Also "-ethi" now can set intensity for every card individually, for example "-ethi 1,8,6".
   You can also specify negative values, for example, "-ethi -8192", it exactly means "global work size" parameter which is used in official miner.


I understand that default is "8", and I also see that "0" is the lowest, but it does not mention the highest setting. I suppose that's when your system crashes or becomes unusable?

Is there a benefit to changing from default in your experiences?

The example above which discusses setting intensity for every card individually ("-ethi 1,8,6") --- Is the first number the desired intensity, and it applies that to cards 8 and 6? I just need a little clarification on that point.

THANKS

THE DEFAULT IS 8--

That is also the highest setting.  For individual cards, the syntax is often comma or space separated per card, depending on the mining software.  The value for GPU 0 is first, then comma, then for GPU 1, then comma, then GPU2... and so forth.  Claymore decided to use commas rather than spaces.  If you use a negative value, you are setting a "Global Work Size", as was used in the original Ethminer.  You could double, or perhaps quadruple that value, but I would not bother to use it.  Single digits (integers) from 0 to 8 are much easier to type.       --scryptr

Much thanks !

- Why Ethereum hashrate in Dual mode is higher than in Single mode?
  Hardware feature, accept it as an extra bonus.


Magic hardware!   Roll Eyes

I've dual mined ETH with both Siacoin and Decred at several settings (from 20 to 80%), and at all settings my ETH takes a hit. In a 7 card GTX 1070 rig the ETH hashrate drops from ~220 MH/s to 210, 200, 180, even 155.

Anyone here able to mine ETH (with another coin) and NOT take a hit --- let alone have the rate increase?

Without scouring through every post (as this might have been asked already), I wanted to see if anyone might have insight with regard to an issue I'm having.

I've got a few computers at my office which have 1050 TI's in them (single cards) running Win10pro. Two of them seem to be rather finiky about running Claymore (it worked once/twice initially), so I'm not sure what's going on. When I go to start the miner, the cmd window will open up for perhaps a second and it will get through the first 4 lines and then just close (as soon as it hits the EthDcrMiner64.exe line).

They're all "identical" Dell workstations running on a domain. I've got Kaspersky running on all of them, and disabled it on the problem machines to see if that was the hold up, but to no avail.

Any suggestions?

THANKS



Solved it ... On both computers with the issues I copied over a new instance of Claymore 9.7, which worked. The original on the computers must have been corrupted somehow.

On that note... is there any advantage with regard to updating to v9.8 (for rigs of 1070's and 1050TI's)?

Is claymore cheating with displaying hashrate?

I have rx580 which claymore's reported hashrate is 28.2
the speed must mine about 0.008135 ETH/24h

On dwarfpool the actual income in 24h is about 0.00635242

I do ETH only mining with devfee on? the pool takes 1% fee
so 2% is total fee

28.2 * 2% = 0,564
and pure profit speed is 28.2 - 0,564 = 27,636 which should give us 0.007962

0.007962-0.00635242 = 0.001610 Huh

0.00635242 - the sum of ETH should be mines with speed 22 M/h

So where's another 5,6 M/h gone?  (27,636-22=5,636)

Or it's just claymore cheating the real mining speed, 22 instead of 27,6!!!

 Sad

He's not cheating...first off, dwarfpool doesn't have the best reputation for profitability. Second, your hashrate at the pool will vary, depending on the number of shares you submit, your response time to the pool, your luck and the "quality" of your overclocking and other things. This is what defines your actual hashrate by the pool. It should act in waves and sometimes go above or at least be equal the reported hashrate. If it doesn't, you have a problem.

nobody said there were even any hashrate improvements in the new version.

Under "Features", it has the same points from v9.7 (increased hashrate of 3-5%) which caused me pause as well. Apparently that claim only applies to 9.6>9.7 ?

Since the same original post seems to be used with each update (I see pros and cons with that), it can lead to some confusion.

Re: Huge coins earned per month drop
by

on 01/08/2017, 13:24:03 UTC
I manage about 32 MH/s with my 1070's (and approach 1.5 GH/s all combined in several rigs).

Unfortunately I put all this together JUST A MONTH AGO, so it's been a slide ever since - which is typical of my timing, lol.

With the 32 MH/s rate, what should I expect that to translate to in terms of mining Zcash? Is that a viable alternative during these diminishing ETH times? If not, what would be your suggestions, for even a second or third coin? What are the preferred miners for Zcash?

I'm using Claymore 9.7, and tried dual mining both SIA and DCR, but it seemed a narrow margin of improvement, and was tough to find a sweet spot. Of course, dual mining doubles the dev fee as well.

THANKS!

Anyone?

Is everyone here sticking with ETH... what's your fallback?

Nice chart! If you can expand it more, it will be better than the official block explorer.
You mean more days? Maybe I can do a week, the only reason I created it is to know the difficulty trend. Historical data is not really useful, just for the info)

Nice work on the block explorer and thanx for sharing the "info" on miner.  Now the profitability of everything is pretty much same so I am mining something else for now. I have reached a good target to stake later. I am just going to hold it and see what happens. If I end up gaining profits I will send you some as tip just for being great to this forum and all your help. cheers

I'm holding on to mine, as it's so low now, what's the point in selling... I'll either ride it into oblivion, or enjoy a resurgence (over the long haul) if that ever comes to pass.

Just curious does anybody know how the 5% annual rate will be paid. Is it 5% annual paid daily or at a different rate?

Also curious how many coins does everybody hold here? I have only about 5,000 coins right now, planning to have maybe 20,000+ in my PoS account eventually. I can probably mine all of that, especially with so many miners dropping out.

I also have about 5,000. It would have been cheaper to just wait and buy them NOW vs. all the mining time I could have spent on something more productive.

Regarding the 5%... not sure that will ever happen.

Just call me Debbie Downer! Smiley

The initial spike I saw with this was reminiscent of what I saw with ChainCoin.

Can anyone tell me why so many on here believe (or want to believe) that this has a future?

I may look back and think that 1400... 1000... or even 500 was a GREAT place to "buy in", or perhaps not.

I wish I had bought into Sirius when they almost went under, and the stock was down to a NICKEL !!

Anyone solo mining, or is it just too much of a crap shoot at this point?

Are the steps (given here http://cryptovore.com/2017/07/19/how-to-mine-signatum-sigt/) for solo mining the preferred method?

Can you combine rigs to increase your chances, or is each rig essentially on its own? Managing 150-200 MH/s per rig.

... also, what's the definition of "LUCK" with regard to values given on mining pools pages?

THANKS
I know one guy found a block with solo mining today, but he has a veeeery high hashrate, and obviously a loot of luck, and yes you can point all your rigs on one wallet, if you have the skills to do that.
My advice is you'd better avoid solo mining unless you can put thousands MH/s on sigt.
Regarding luck, on suprnova for example, average 1 block per minute with 589,459.63 MH/s on the pool, do your maths.

ok.

Let's say I can throw 1GH/s at mining SIGT. That puts suprnova at about a 600x hasrate over me.

Help me to understand some of the basics here:

1> Does this mean that, on average, I'll mine a block every 600 minutes (10 hours)?

2> What's involved in being able to mine a block for myself? Must I individually mining all the shares start/finish prior to someone else? How does this "work"?

3> Do I stand any better chance having several rigs all pointing to one wallet, or is the sum total of all my rigs (independently) just as effective for solo mining?

4> Currently, the reward for a block is 2500 SIGT, correct?

5> For solo mining, are there other sources of "income"? I've heard of orphans and uncles with regard to some mining pools, but have no idea what that refers to.

... thought I'd stop short of "twenty questions"...  Smiley

THANKS



1. assuming a 1000Gh/sec network hash rate, 1Gh/sec will, on average over a long time, provide 0.1% of the blocks. there are 1440 minutes in a day, so you're looking at maybe 1.44 blocks on average per day you could hope to find solo. HOWEVER, this depends on a few things: you finding the block and submitting it into the network before anyone else does and that block being accepted by all nodes in the network.

2. there are no 'shares', finding a block is simply a luck thing. you need to generate a hash from the algo that is more 'difficult' than the required difficulty. if you do this, your miner picks transactions from the mempool, encodes them in a block using the hash, and submits the block to the network. if the network accepts the block, all the nodes in the network will add it to the chain. if multiple blocks are found around the same time, the first one to make the 'journey' around to the nodes becomes the accepted and the other becomes the orphan. on a pool, you submit any hash that is over the 'stratum difficulty' and you are given a 'share' of the block reward depending on the total difficulty of all hashes that you submitted. if you happen to submit a hash which is higher than the network difficulty, the pool encodes a block and submits it to the network. if that block is accepted etc, then the pool distributes profits to the miners depending on several various systems, my pool (hashbag) uses a PPLNS or 'Pay Per Last N Shares' system where you are paid a part of each block reward based on the total difficulty of shares you submitted over time - i.e. the payouts are done independant of the block boundaries. suprnova uses a PROP system or "proportional" where the block reward is immediately divided to everyone who submitted shares for that block. there are other payout systems as well, just look up PPLNS / PPS / PROP etc.

as a solo miner, there are no shares since you never submit a hash until you found one which you can encode a block with.

3. you have the same chances no matter how many wallet addresses you use - it's all luck if any one of your generated hashes is above the network diff. sometimes a single card might pull off a 15k diff share within 5 mins of starting to hash.. other times not for months.. more hashes/sec just means more chances to pull off that elusive share which you can encode a block with. i would recommend pointing to the same wallet to make it easier to deal with any resulting rewards; and especially on a pool as you can see a list of all the workers and shared hash rate, whereas splitting wallets will be difficult to manage.

4. correct, block reward is 2500SIGT up to block 30k.

5. solo mining has no reward other than if you happen to find a hash; if you find a block but then it is orphaned due to a pool (who is usually well connected to lots of peers) finding a block between the time it takes for your block to generate and to end up in the pool's blockchain, then you lose your reward. some pools consider your shares for orphans and some dont, depending on the payout system. you take 100% of the risk with solo mining. it CAN be profitable, but it can also be almost nothing. my pool for example has had reasonable bad luck in the past 1hr30mins - we have found 0 blocks, however people are still getting paid thanks to PPLNS spreading the profits out across a longer period.

...

Thanks for the details - that does clear up some confusion I had!

With regard to having all my rigs point to a single wallet - is that a challenging endeavor ?
