OK, I am confused: you show commands that look like they are stored in a CONFIG.TXT parameter file, but then you show what appears to be a command-line with parameters.

You can't have both: if there are parameters on the command-line, the CONFIG.TXT file is ignored / not used.  Since "-etht 200" is the default, adding it in CONFIG.TXT or on the command-line just adds one more step to the preparation phase.  Why are you asking it to use "qtminer" mode (-esm 1)?

I think the main problem is that you appear to be shooting for a solo mining configuration, as far as I can tell?  You don't show anything about a process running on your own port 8080 - which normally would be a web-based protocol.  Whassup?
-esm 1" option to enable "qtminer" mode, in this mode pool will display additional information about shares (accepted/rejected), for example:accepted/rejected), for example:
   EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethermine.org:4444 -esm 1 -ewal 0xD69af2A796A737A103F12d2f0BCC563a13900E6F.YourWorkerName -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://yiimp.ccminer.org:3252 -dwal DsUt9QagrYLvSkJHXCvhfiZHKafVtzd7Sq4 -dp

Im forwarding the miner through a proxy config  directly to Dwarfpool as I have been having a wallet changing problem......

Thanks For your help Claymore.
I was warned about the security issues in the 10.5 I was using at the time.
I wanted to know if possible someone cold take some hashrate or it is a fault on Dwarfpools side?
I'm now using ver11 with ETH-proxy server and there seems do be improvement. I have tried Ethminer but yours has a better hash rate.
keep up the good work and stay on top of the vulnerabilities and I will also be stoping the remote port,
Cheers.  

I'm in touch with most popular pools and we discuss security issues sometimes. Also in many cases I get private reports about vulnerabilities and release new version before they become public.
There are several ways to get problems:
1. Using miner that was downloaded from suspicious source.
2. Using some kind of "nodevfee" tools.
3. Exposing ports for remote management (see my link in previous message) which allows to replace "config.txt" file remotely.
4. Bad guys can even redirect IP of your pool to own pool in some cases, for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BGP_hijacking
Thanks for the info.
Dwarfpool recommended me connecting through  there ETH-proxy server.  But for some reason I could only use HTTP.

@Stevross, Are you on the same problem as Kgminer? you are not using the correct pool are you trying to do solo mining without pools?



Are you on the same problem as Kgminer? sorry no Idea. As for the http It would not connect to ETHproxy without it for some reason.and the speed seems to have improved a bit. as for the Allpols I was not sure what to specify. Cheers.

That's how the Dev fee works. Claymore replaces your wallet with his and mines for 36 seconds every hour. You should have asked Dwarfpool the time and duration of when the wallets were switched and compared it to the miner logs.

Incorrect. Miner creates second connection to the pool for devfee.

I have been getting detection of a virus backdoor in your software after installation.
Trojan:Win32/CoinMiner!bit.
my hashrate has been jumping up and down so i contacted dwarfpool , They stated analysis has shown that my wallet has been changing to another in a backdoor in your mining software.
i only mine ETH and I have not applied the no DEV fee option.
Is there something we should know?

Please read first post of this thread. It will tell you about antiviruses alarms. Also learn about "-mport" option. Also make sure that you use recent version of the miner and downloaded the miner from the links from OP only.
If you still sure that my miner has backdoors/viruses - drop this miner asap and use some different miner that you like more.

PS. Here is my related message https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.msg28540417#msg28540417

I know that is how the DEV fee works, However that is not the case as Claymore does not mine at 80mh's when he could mine at my full speed, Also when It is mining at that speed in the logs its not the DEV fee mining and the miner stops, then starts the DEV fee with his wallet.

You should read about dev fee in readme or in the first massage.
And ofcourse antivirus will detect CoinMiner because this program is a coin miner Smiley

you should read my message before your post.
I have NOT done the NO FEE OPTION.
The positive from the virus detection does not always come up on every miner. do your homework mate.
The experts at Dwarfpool clearly stated that my wallet has been replaced by another when dropping from 130mh's to 80'mh's.
I am not new to mining and never had this problem before.

That is up to you.
I use 4 of them it has taken alot of messing around but saved me alot of money compared to nvidia.
When mined only for ethereum you can underclock/volt your gpus to use much less power.
My rig is also used for gaming but even then I only use 500w of power with 4 rx580 8g.
The choice is yours save money = more hassle, more money = not always more hassle.  Wink

Re: Biostar RX580 8GB BIOS mod for ethereum?

on 22/01/2018, 02:45:15 UTC
I followed the tutorial flashed my bios, overclocked my memory to 2250 but the card still only manages 24.7 MH/s

Is this a limitation of the card? I am running on the beta blockchain drivers

The 1750 to 2000 should only be strapped for stability in my opinion.  The 2250 oc setting might not do anything if you dont have a 1750 strap to the 2250.

Hey guys,
I'm new to mining and I just built a mining/gaming rig.
I have 4 MSI RX 580 TWIN FROZER gaming x 8gb in the rig.
I have just started mining Ethereum with the latest Ethminer, so far I'm only getting 17mh/s from each card and a total of around 68mh/s  Cry
I am running win 10 64bit with standard AMD Radeon adrenaline drivers.
Any help you guys can give me to increase my hash and best mining tools to help this Noob would be great?

Thanks people's.

Hi Stevross, I have no experience with that model, however I'm sure at this point that you have 2 things to sort out:

1) Proper windows drivers:

1.1) The first thing that you want to do, is to fully uninstall the drivers you have installed, for that, go ahead and download DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) from it's official website https://www.wagnardsoft.com/
1.2) Restart your windows in safe mode before doing it (it will ask you for that), and you'll have to follow a few steps to get that done, it isn't as simple as pressing F8 anymore.
1.3) Once in safemode, use DDU to fully remove the drivers that you have installed.
1.4) Download "Win10-64Bit-Crimson-ReLive-Beta-Blockchain-Workloads-Aug23" drivers from the official website from http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-Crimson-ReLive-Edition-Beta-for-[Suspicious link removed]pute-Release-Notes.aspx
1.5) Install those drivers and then restart if required, customize the instalation, and select only the drivers, you don't want Radeon ReLive or anything else than the drivers.
1.6) Download and install the clock patcher from this website https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patcher
1.7) By then your cards should be detected and working a bit better already.

2) Proper BIOS modding and overclocking, for this step you'll have to experiment a bit with MSI Afterburner, and then the bios... please update me once you get there!

Have a good day,
Chris C. Russo
I agree.

The item 2 its very important, because only the drivers will not be suficient for you to get the best speed of your cards, when you do BIOS mod you are be able to increase the mining performance using less power.

I recommend use claymore to mine, because you will be able to put different config for each gpu, as they are not equal at all....

Claymore V10.3: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.0
Thanks for the advice. I will be trying to research bios modding, as for claymore I don't know if I should troubleshoot my GPUs further before jumping to a miner change.

Thanks Mate, I jumped up to 86 mh/s after driver change so that did help, but it also increased the power from 720w to 800w.
I played around with afterburner already but every time I increased the memory clock the hash rate went down for some reason.  I need to find the exact settings for my card and look into doing a bios mod I think, I just hope it does not kill the gaming.
Thanks spot for your help!  Smiley

Or save the whole hassle and install a Ethos (http://ethosdistro.com/download/) or Simplemining (https://simplemining.net). Your performance will be better from the go.

Not into Linux for this build mate as it is also a gaming rig.
