Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v9.5 (Windows/Linux)

Question about ETH mining on ethermine.org pool...

My rig within Claymore is hashing at ~198MH, but the pool is displaying the following:

Hashrate as reported by miner to pool = ~198MH
Effective current hashrate = 174MH
Avg Effective hashrate 24hr = 175MH

I know some variation between miner and pool is expected, but >20MH seems like a lot to me!!!

Anyone experienced this before?   Huh  Fixes?  Or known issue?  Thanks!!!

VTdude - i see the same thing on ethermine.org. My average hashrate never hits my reported hashrate

Is there anybody mining PASC coin Huh
yes i am trying to mine but after 7 hours with 5gh no block found


i was mining for 15hrs and got a block but ended up being stale as someone with more hashrate got it first


5 hours 5x r9 390x the result 0 returned to Zcash

I've been mining Pascal for 14 hours now with 8 rigs. So far nothing (0 blocks found). I'll give it until the morning. If I dont get anything, I'll switch back to ZEC.

All my rigs are running RX 480 8GB Cards - Mixed brands - Power Color, Sapphire, Asus Strix and XFX (all stock bios)- all running stable for 28 hrs now on v9. Average hashrate - 225 h/s per card. The Asus Strix cards seem to have the best hash rate on v9 (about 230 h/s). All rigs running Celeron Procs at about 10% with -i 8. Intensity settings don't seem to have any effect at all for me (0 to 8 makes no difference). Power usage rose about 6% average but gained roughly 20% hash rate from v8. Kudo's to Claymore. I'm not seeing any of these power spikes everyone is talking about but all i have is a meter at the wall.

I get back to ETH now..

Sad

hope V9 makes me get back to Zcash..

Why dont mine and hold, you dont have to sell at the time you mine, i mined a lot at price at 0.07 btc, and sell eveything on last pump  at 0.13, so just stop crying and wait

+1  Agreed - We miners are the cause of ZEC's price going down - stop selling so damned cheap!!! - list your mining rewards for what its worth. Don't just sell out.

Without Claymore and ZEC I probably should throw away or sell cheap my 50+ R9 280X cards.. so - respect. Smiley

If your planning on binning them I'll happily take them off your hands for free  Grin

I will let You know if I am ready to bin cards. Smiley
Until ZEC is still profitable for 280Xs it will not happen.

I think Zec has reached its level now, at about the $50-$55 area. I cant really see it dropping to much in price now.

Main thing I can see affecting profitability going forwards I think will be the difficulty.

Agreed, if it gets any lower than $50 I'll be going back to ETH or Monero

So with his other accounts he makes say on average... lets say... for arguments sake... $2000 a day.. That's great and I don't envy him one bit.

There are 4 ZEC accounts (excluding nicehash) that net around ~100 BTC a month.


Well, If i had the know how to write a miner, I'd give him some competition. But I don't, so kudo's to him. He has the skill and he's enabled us to all make $$$. We can't complain too much right?

v 9 will be mostly fixing speed in 280x/390x so cant wait. i assume 20 sols + good enough Smiley

+1 yupe... (hopefully... )  Nice one. If it can actual achieve dat, its a Top notch!!!
 Grin

never saw a chances for d older cards to also taking-part in this Zcash-mining before actolly...
Love to see people doing d store digging lookin for d dusty cards.  
+/- d electricity n d other cost, ROI shows quite a good figure.
As example, d R9 280x & R9 290 (plus d other gpus around dis batch) is still worth to keep!!!!  Grin

another thing is, d 'DE-CENTRALIZE' will always keep 'RE-DECENTRALIZE', rit...?
This 'scenario' (bringing d old gpu back into mining again) can be as 'added-value' for d main crypto-currency objectives to success..'strongly'!

Back to d v9.0 dat is coming, can we call it 'pushing d limits', or its an 'optimal pullings' or is it 'beyond d boundries' thing? Wink  Cool  
Already reaching d 'limits'?
Only xperts can answered that....


-Keep Mining n Njoy-
-Lets compete 'positively'..No more 'bashing'..No more 'swearing'-
-ALL in ALL is ALL WE ARE-

Alright, what the hell are you even trying to say here? LOL

Read it in a jar jar binks voice and it makes perfect sense.  Grin

anyone mining with rx 480 here? im only getting 193-197 H/s each card. Please anybody who could share their settings.. Smiley
Thanks a lot!!!

Thats exactly what I'm getting with my 480's. Occasionally they jump up over 200 but average its about 196 h/s

Hey all,

Wanting to build another mining rig using this older cpu, motherboard and RAM (below). I have this stuff kicking around, will Zcash mining work with 4GB of DDR2? This motherboard supports a maximum of 4GB DDR2 so I can't add any more sticks Sad

I was planning on buying an RX470 4GB for this rig. I have a decent 600 Watt power supply which will be plenty and planning to use Windows 7. thanks


AMD ATHLON 64+ 3200 2.0 GHZ SOCKET AM2 CPU
 
2 X 2GB DDR RAM (4GB TOTAL)
XMS2 CORSAIR 800 MHZ

ASUS M2N68-AM SE2
SOCKET A MOTHERBOARD

If you're only going to have 1 or 2 cards - that should be fine.

Hey Claymore, ever since I've started to use the new v8, I've been facing many crashes while using Photoshop or any other such software. It's really annoying and I've tried all the possible intensities as well as other overclocking stuff, but unable to fix it. One thing I've done along the usage of your new version is the driver update. Do you think that it could be happening because of the new driver version of Crimson or is it any known issue of your new miner's version?

Using RX 480's by the way...

Dude, you can't mine and use photoshop on the same GPU at the same time. It's one or the other.

Guys, I need some help. I have a system with 5 GPUs, and I want to add one more (R9 390) to complete the 6 slots. My whole system is:


-ASROCK H81 PRO BTC
- Intel Celeron G1820
- 8GB RAM

GPUs:

- MSI R9 390 gaming 8G
- MSI R9 290x gaming 4G
- Gigabyte R9 290 reference
- Gigabyte RX 480 8GB refence
- XFX RX 480 8GB double dissipation with 8 pin

PSU:

- Cougar GX800 (holding motherboard and all rises + R9 390 and R9 290X)
- CX 750 (holding R9 290 and both RX 480)

The question is, do I need to upgrade the PSU or are these two already able to get the job done?

*If anyone has any tips on how to redistribute energy between the PSUs. Please, feel free to talk.


Depends on your watt usage - looks like it you have enough power between both your PSU's - I'd put your Mobo and 2 GPU's on the 750W and then power the the 4 remaining GPU's with the 800. If $$ is not an issue the I'd get new Gold or better 1300W to 1600W.

And whats the point?? High temperatures, more electricity and same profit, cuz all are with the new miner. Your new versions are not helpful, do you know that? Also some cards have really bad speed Smiley

I hope Claymore is strong enough to not get demotivated by such constant attacks from imbeciles and trolls. I know BCT is a cesspool of disconnected snowflakes, but this is getting too much.
You can't stop a tsunami by telling it to stop.

If Claymore or anyone else won't make anymore public miners and improve their speeds, they will sell it privately only to big farms. This means whining teens like you will see their profits go to zero. You either keep on improving or you get the fuck out of here. Progress and evolution won't stop because a bunch of little control freaks want it.

Reminds me of the moronic Linux trolls who spammed this thread and mocked Claymore and its users a few weeks ago when that crappy Linux miner Optiminer or what it is called came out. Since they are greedy imbecile kids who always want free lunch Linux-style, guess what, they fucked up by stealing the dev's fee and now Optiminer is private and sold to big farms only. Go to their thread to see them whining and to laugh about them.

You get what you pay for!


100% agree with you. Lets not hope these whiny little teenyboppers can't dissuade Claymore's much appreciated work.

I'm beginning to believe my motherboard is not capable of handling more than 2 cards ugh! Msi z170a gaming pro carbon either on boot (windows 8 or 10) doesn't recognize cards, afterburner doesn't show temps and card crashes or opencl hangs on miner
I got a Z170 board not knowing issues.  It will see and mine with 4 GPUs no problem (470/480), though if you try 5, it will lock up at bios, even though board has 7 slots. I have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128838 Then I just decided to get H81 BTC pro boards (harder to find).

This MSI Z97 works just as good as an H81 BTC - cheaper in most cases - plus it has 7 pcie slots - I have 2 rigs with this board and 7 RX480's each. Works great.

anel and cooling (in summer, Georgia), but I can recommend to friends.

For that Motherboard, do you need to short the A1B17 manually or it is automatic like the ASrock boards?
[/quote]

You do not need to short anything. Just make sure your PSU and O/S can handle 7 cards - I'm using Ubuntu 16.4.1/Win 10 dual boot and a 1600W T2 PSU

Hi All,

I've just created a page where one can share your experiance with your graphical card in order to have a benchmark.

http://cryptolex.ch/gpu-mining-hardware-for-z-cash-comparison/?lang=en

Of corse I'm using Claymore since beginning and v8 works perfectly ! Thanks claymore for your job and effort Smiley ... waiting for version 9 ... 10 ...

You should also include a power usage field - - for instance - "Watts at the wall". This is 50% or more the decision factor for buying GPU's when miners have to pay for the electricity to power their rigs. Not just Hashing power.

Other considerations - Overclocking fields and memory timing straps field - etc

Just my 2 cents

Ok, so it looks like everyone else is getting approximately the same hashrate difference for R9 390 vs. RX 480. I get 260 H/s and 190 H/s respectively with mine (both 8 GB). So my question is, is it expected that the 480 hashrate is only 73% of the 390? Is it because of the lower power consumption on the 480? With every other miner/currency so far, my 480s hash at about the same rate as my 390s. Is this something new with v8.0?

The R9 390's have more memory bandwidth (384 bit i believe) which makes them ideal for the Zcash mining algorithm. RX 480's only have 256 bit.

Anyone else spend waaaayyy too much time of their life staring at this screen waiting for these damned confirmations to go through? Worse than watching paint dry!!!
http://imgur.com/7X2xCSE

LOL

A few days ago it needed 36 confirmations and you waited all day...it's better now although I don't sell anymore
All signs show that we will not be looking at ZEC below 100$ for much longer...

I'm not so confident.. but I hope you're right
