Hi casper77 & CryptoDredge dev:
Help! Using CryptoDredge with latest nVidia drivers causing high load CPU usage.
Other miner apps like T-Rex, z-enemy, etc. have already fixed this issue.
Please do so with CryptoDredge!
Thank you.

Hi.
Any change on "-b" or "--api-bind" arguments, so it can be accessed from other computer in same network (not just from rig's local computer)?
Thanks.

@TrailingStop,

TT-Miner has issue mining MTP (ZCoin) at "2miners' pool (xzc.2miners.com:8080).
Miner is hashing, but no shares accepted. Thus pool shows zero hashrate of the miner.
I tried v2.1.17 up to v2.1.19, and it has the same issue.
I'd also tried CryptoDredge, and it runs smoothly at that pool.

Please kindly fix it ASAP.
I hate to use slower miner just because the fastest one has issue with certain pools.
Thank you.

Hi CryptoDredge Dev,

CryptoDredge v.1.13.0 is much slower than CryptoDredge v.1.11.0 in: Lyra2z, Phi2, and Allium.

Hope you can fix it. Thanks.

Hi CryptoDredge dev,

Thank you for such great miner.

Please help!
I get 54 Mh/s (Allium algo) on GTX 1070 Ti rigs with CryptoDredge 0.11.0, while only get 47 Mh/s with CryptoDredge 0.12.0 (same cards and same settings with both versions).
Why is v0.12.0 slower than v.0.11.0 for Allium algo?

Yes, I tried that and it worked. Thank you!
Yet miner still crashed though (even though it runs well with Lyra2z with the same OC).
Well, I guess I need to lower the OC.

Hi cryptodredge dev. Please help.
I try to change the intensity for Phi2 algo with CryptoDredge 0.9.1 (Windows 10).
I set "-i 5", but the miner still use intensity "6" for my GTX1070Ti.
Is this a bug? Need your advise. Thank you.

Hi Tazers,

Thank you for your reply.
The first step of your Upgrade Instructions is to Flash Fixed Frequency firmware.
That's why I thought I need to replace the auto-freq firmware with the older fix-650M one, before I can replace the bmminer.sh with your modified version.

Now you say I don't have to do the first step? Just want to confirm that.
Okay, if you said that, then I will skip the first step and go to the next ones. Hope it will works.
Thanks again.

Hi Tazers,

I tried to flash fix-650M firmware ("Antminer-S9-all-201705031838-650M-user-Update2UBI-NF.tar/gz") to my S9 (which has the default auto-freq Nov 2017 firmware), and I got this "Invalid Upgrade version" messages.
The S9 rebooted itself and it still has the default auto-freq version. So the flash failed.

Could you kindly advise what should I do to flash the fix-650M ?
Thank you very much.

Ok, got it. Thanks again for your help. Cheers!

@Dropky,
Thank you very much for your help.

I would like to confirm : for the BTC address, should I add ":x" behind my BTC address (like the one with Excavator 1.4.4a), or, no need to add those ":x" (just my BTC address) with v1.5.4a now ?

FYI, I did have 6 GPUs. I don't know why Awesome Miner made the config with 13 devices.
Should I edit it to only 6 devices, or, should I just leave it that way?

Please advise. Thanks.

@Dropky,

Here is the "awesome.json" file made by Awesome Miner in Excavator 1.5.4a folder (and it doesn't work):

Please help. Thanks a lot.

@Dropky or anyone,

I want to setup my Awesome Miner to use Excavator 1.5.4a mining Lyra2REv2 at Nicehash, but it doesn't work.
How should I setup it with AM? Should I setup the Json file ?
I have 6 of GTX 1070 TI.
Please help. Thanks.

Got it. Thank you.

Hi, need an enlightenment here. 
Does CPUminer-Opt has built-in command line options to set CPU affinity?
Thanks before.

@PhoenixMiner,

I run PhoenixMiner 2.7c on 6 x GTX1070 Ti (Win 10 Pro build 1709) smoothly, until these last several days.
Every time after I run it for several minutes, one of my cards suddenly lost its memory OC setting and back to is default memory setting.
It happens when the miner restart, right after it crash (after connection error to "d3pool.eu/api/status").
I tried to ping "www.d3pool.eu", but the connection is okay and no packet loss.

Here is what I found in the log file :

Please help. Thank you.

It means Claymore 11.3 about 0.285 % faster than Phoenix 2.7c. But if you deduct that 0.285% with 0.35% (Phoenix's fee only 0.65% compare to Claymore's 1% fee), then you get (minus) -0.065%.
Still prefer Phoenix. 
Btw; on my GTX 1070 Ti, Phoenix 2.7c still around 0.74% faster than Claymore 11.3. If you add that 0.74% with 0.35%, you get around (plus) 1%.
Still prefer Phoenix. 
Just my test and dumb calculation. 

Maybe this could help : https://www.raymond.cc/blog/disable-program-has-stopped-working-error-dialog-in-windows-server-2008/

@Funakoshi: how does it compare to DSTM ? Because DSTM is faster than EWBF. Please advise. Thank you.

Actually, that's what I mean, buddy!
I just not smart enough to use words to express my thought. )
Hopefully, Realbminer could understand what we meant, and not take it negatively.
Happy mining!
