Claymore, you are a star! I would still gladly cough up 1%!  Wink

With that said, in the ETH miner, there is an option -MINRIGSPEED - whats the chance of getting it in the XMR miner?

Hi Guys,

Can I specify the logfile name and maximum size (i.e. 75MB)?

Sadly, no joy for me. With an OC that was working before, I get BSODs after about 12 minutes of mining. The same setup runs fine with Phoenix miner.

Hardware control options (AMD cards only; use comma to specify different values for each GPU):
  -tt Set fan control target temperature (special values: 0 - no HW monitoring on ALL cards,
     1-4 - only monitoring on all cards with 30-120 seconds interval, negative - fixed fan speed at n %)

Setting -tt 4 as per the quote above, only shows the GPU Temp and fan speed line every 120 seconds. Is the same possible for the GPU hashrate stats lines?

Temporary Solution i use myself:
Edit the vBIOS so that ALL power states use the SAME core frequency. That way you will be restored in full speed and be able run your rigs normally.

I hope this helped friend.

Awesome, thank you! Will try as soon as I am back home again. As Murphy will have it, I am out of town for a while. Will keep you posted if I find any other solutions too!

Hey guys, have any of you had an issue with V11.5, where when connection was lost to the pool, the miner resumed when the connection was restored, but at a lower hashrate?

At ~1:45am this morning, my miner lost connection, and when the connection was restored, the AMD cards mined at less than 50% of their usual hash rate. Strangely though, the NVidia cards on the rig resumed at their normal hashrate.

AMD Cards: Powercolor RX470, MSI Armor RX480
NVidia Cards: 2 x GTX 1050Ti

Few days ago my 1060 3gb stoped mining ETH due to this...

Sadly there is not much to be done here. You have 3 options:
1. Keep up with this method until it does not work anymore
2. Mine something else
3. Set up your rig with Linux. Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPaee47TCZc

I am with Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ 8GB, i use -ethi 16 but actually i dont know why.....i just dont see any difference wih or without -ethi parameter.
I tried ethi 4,8,12,16 - no difference

I have to be honest, the only reson I added in the -ethi argument was to avoid the miner having to detect what value to use, especially with the rig restarting once in a while because of the 0 fan speed picked up by Polly.

For me, faster startup means faster $$$.  Wink

i use -ethi 16 , any disadvantage?

You did not mention GPU, but I am using -ethi 10 on Red Devil RX470 4GB and -ethi 14 on MSI Armor RX480 4GB

2. I have a few rigs on v11.5 and they are working for days until I restart miner to perform some new tests, but I always use non-overclocked cards and default bioses, I have to do it to exclude everything except miner in case of any problems. When you use miner on overclocked/unstable rig you cannot be sure that the reason of the problems is the miner, but of course you will blame it Wink Try to reduce "-ethi" value, if it does not help you can use the version that works fine for you.

I can confirm that the miner is behaving well with my cards with the following OCs:

NVidia GTX 1050ti: +600 memory, -100 gpu clock and 75% power (samsung memory)
AMD RX470 4GB: 1500 mem straps, 96 TDP, 1125 gpu clock, 2000MHz memory
AMD RX480 4GB: 1500 mem straps, 104 TDP, 1125 gpu clock, 2000MHz memory

is it crashing when it runs DEV FEE for Claymore?  re-loading the DAG? 
I had same issue and I think i have it working, will know later today, so far no crash on Pirl.

I have not had a crash yet. But in once instance, after mining the DEV Fee, I had a serious drop in hash rate across all GPUs (RX470, RX480, 2 x GTX 1050ti).

And it only happened once thus far.

I have also noticed the fan speed is reported as 0 once in a while, then Polly restarts the rig, although it was quite unneccesary. When I used multi pool miner some time ago, the API also reported zero fan speeds at random intervals.

Finally, stale shares are ranging from 4% to 15%. But overall hash rate increase seems to outweigh this by about 0.0001 ETH per day.

Bummer, but OK. I'll spit the cards up into two - AMD / NVidia and see what the pool reports.

OK, so as promised, I split the rig up into NVidia and AMD seperately to see what happens. Only NVidia submitted stale shares. I even went and ran the pairs as 1 x RX 470 and 2 x GTX 1050ti, each with a hashrate of ~28MH/s.

Here is the strange one, in this setup (2 x Claymore instances, NVidia + AMD), the rig submitted less stale shares as when compared to a single Claymore instance with the cards mixed.. But it was not really stable. NVidia kept on restarting.

I am back to the mixed setup where I have a 6 - 9% stale share rate for the past 12 Hours.

Some rig info for the 28 / 28 test:
1 x RX 470, 1500 mem straps, memory OC to 2000MHz.
2 x GTX 1050Ti, +650MHz memory OC, - 100MHz CPU UC, 75% Power
Latest Windows 10 Pro, Claymore excluded from Defender
Core2Duo E8400, 4GB Ram, 16GB Virtual memory
~17% CPU Usage, 46% memory usage whilst login with TeamViewer
Polly keeping an eye on things

No, because pool doesn't notify miner that the share is stale, you can only see it on pool dashboard

Hey guys,

I still have a number of stale shares on ethermine.org whilst using v11.5. To give you an idea, I regularly get over 10% stale shares. I mine with 2 x GTX 1050ti, 1 x rx470 and 1 x rx480.

So onto the question, Claymore, is it possible to log what gpu is submitting the stale share?
