Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.8 (Windows/Linux)

So I've got one machine with pretty bad mouse/sprite lagging. It starts when Ethereum mining starts. This machine was working fine and I had to rebuild it with a fresh Windows 10 install.

It's Windows 10, latest, all patches. ULPS is off, I have never used ethi so not thinking I need to start now.  I did try ethi 1 and the hash rate dropped significantly and still lagging. Visual effects in Win 10 are off.  I've tried everything I can think of and could use some ideas.  GEForce software isn't installed (or at least I don't see it anyplace).  Mix of RX580 cards and a couple of GTX 1060's. Radeon driver is the recent .5.1 and Nvidia is the latest one.

Help!

Thanks,
CJ

biostar board? check your task manager, is system interrupts cpu usage high?

Thanks, I already turned off PCI AER so that isn't it.  Any other ideas?

Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.6 (Windows/Linux)

I'm getting a weird 11.6 problem on latest-patched Windows 10 for one rig that has 4 GTX 1060 cards (2 of them only 3GB) and 3 AMD cards (MX570 and 580).  The software starts then crashes after the banner but before any cards are recognized. Zero useful information in the logs or from Windows. Device Manager is clear.  What do I look for?

Check your anti virus or windows defender aren't shutting it down. It sounds just like mine when I forget to add an exception.

Thanks but that's not it. I added another exclusion anyway. 

Can you think of anything else to check?  Already reinstalled the Claymore software.

CJ

Start with basic troubleshoot, use 1 card only, install it on PCIe x16, Uninstall/Reinstall driver, then run miner

if successful then add other GPU's



That's a last effort I think, this was working, and now 2 more miners have since gone down. What's going on with 11.6, some kind of time bomb?

CJ

It seems that after running troublefree for 3 weeks there were 3 machines that all died within 2 hours with 3 different problems.

After new ETH DAG  1060 3gb say bye bye to ETH on W10, I try to mine now UBIQ on Ethermine but when they want to take devfee reestart becasuse they take ETH not UBIQ and DAG of ETH is not supported by 3gb GPU.
Who has a good solution to all 3gb  GPU ?
Now after all cripto-coin go down is mandatory to have the mine in optimun condition to take same profit,  another problem is that rare coin is not easy to convert in USD/EUR.
 I apreciate your comment.  Smiley
I dont want to change to Linux  for only same month more of life of ETH

Use Windows 7 or Linux, there is no solution for Windows 10.

have a solution, type -eres 0

Not sure why you think this works, I'm trying it and same error occurs on Windows Home 10.

11.5 with -oldkernels 1 gives me less and fluctating reported hashrate.... 11.4 works perfect for me but i am getting 3-6% stale shares and someone mentioned 0-2% stale shares with 11.5

How do you measure stale shares?

My experience with 11.4 and Stale Shares.
Arrow marks the spot where I upgraded from 11.3 to 11.4
The image is 11.3 to left of arrow and 11.4 to the right.

I would say this is a great success in reducing stale shares from 11.3 to 11.4
Also everything else is stable, running cool and hash rates are equal to or greater than all other Claymore versions.

I would say this is a complete success.


@janding:

How do you generate that nice graph and what do you look for in the logs to generate the numbers?  Thanks for any n00b advice.

I did not test it, but for recent drivers it must not depend on DAG much.

Thanks for the update. I'm noticing crashes. RX570 and 1060 card are all that are installed, dual mining DCR, mem clock only 2000 on the 570. This was stable on 10.5.

It's time, boys and girls, to box up your graphics cards and put them up for sale before the mad rush as Ethereum (and all Ethash coin) GPU mining is about to come to an end.

"Ethereum ASIC chips will enter mass production stage in February 2018 by TSMC’s 28nm process. The F3 miner is expected to hit the market in Q2 or Q3 2018."
http://news.8btc.com/bitmain-to-release-ethereum-asic-miner-f3-with-72gb-ddr3-dram-in-q2


Reddit chatter saying that it will be roughly the same as building a rig, so 180MH/s for about $2500.  That's what the performance of this asic will be.

Humans suck at predicting the future, so either way you merely have to decide are you going to tear your rigs apart and have nothing for awhile, or forge on until something better emerges and then pivot?  I had ZERO trouble selling an old GTX 970 I didn't want for pretty good cash. All the cards I have now are hot items. Someone will buy them IF I need to sell them.  I don't think I will but I'll wait for the facts. I've got birds in the hand right now.

So just in case somebody want to mine with their rig ETH only on two different pools, here is the content of my batch file (start_eth_nanopool_noobpool.bat):

Code:
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
start "" "EthDcrMiner64.exe" -epool noobpool.com:8008 -ewal 0x0cdb48b05f63b3d3f351523eb7e757e9c640518a -epsw x -eworker rig1 -ftime 10 -mode 1 -r 1 -dcri 1,1,1 -cclock 1200,1100,1200 -cvddc 885,890,875 -mclock 2100,2100,2150 -mvddc 885,885,875 -tt 57,57,57 -fanmin 42,42,42 -tstop 78,78,78 -di 012 -altnum 2
timeout /t 10 /nobreak
start "" "EthDcrMiner64.exe" -epool eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal 0x0cdb48b05f63b3d3f351523eb7e757e9c640518a.rig1/email -epsw x -ftime 10 -mode 1 -r 1 -dcri 1,1,1,1 -cclock 1200,1200,1200,1200 -cvddc 875,875,875,875 -mclock 2100,2100,2100,2150 -mvddc 895,908,899,875 -tt 57,57,57,57 -fanmin 42,42,42,42 -tstop 78,78,78,78 -di 3456 -altnum 2 -mport 3334

This batch-file gets started from Windows 10 Autostart.
The first 3 GPUs are used to mine on noobpool (no mining fees but high transmission fees!!) and the other 4 GPUs are used to mine on nanopool (also take care if you use this pool).
The command timeout /t 10 /nobreak waits for 10 seconds before the second instance gets opened.

Another thing you have to take care about are the risers. I bought 6 "YIKESHU" Risers (blue, 6-Pin-PCI-E on the riser)  from Amazon and there are all crap! One out of these 6 was completely defect. But the other produce massive problems during the mining. All GPUs where I used these riser, got randomly stuck during the mining. After I changed all of these "YIKESHU" riser to "Ptsaying" risers, the GPUs don't produce errors any more and I was also able to let the GPU run faster with less voltage with these new riser.
So if you got massive problems, the first thing you should do is down-clock your GPUs a bit and if this will not help, you must change your risers! Risers which also work fine in my rig are the "ELEGIANT" risers which I also got from amazon.


What's the issue you ran into with Nanopool?  Thanks for the posting.

Is there a pool that charges less than 1%?
There are some and they have running costs. Server, software and so on. Claymore doesn't have. This has nothing to do with communism. I think a lot of people aren't aware that he makes so much money. So if you could disable developer fee and have the same hashrate, that would be ok. A lot of people wouldn't care if dev fee is the default option, so he still had enough money.

Name a pool under 1%.

Claymore has running costs, testing, adding new features, maintaining compatibility with drivers, the list goes on. Obviously you are not a software developer at all, because you are so uninformed it is absolutely stunning.

Don't use the software. You aren't worthy.


There are many pools with fees under 1%, I can't remember them all but two that come to mind are etn.spacepools.org with only 0.1% fees and miningpoolhub.com with only 0.9% fees. For choice of coins, functions and support I'd go for miningpoolhub.

Thanks for the pointers. Very useful outcome to an otherwise dubious post. :_)

Hi everybody,
first, sry for my bad english writing.

i have a mining rig, my components:

4x gigabyte rx 570 4g
2 of them with 1140 2030 and 2 with 1140 2050 @ 850mv
the rig works very well, i got 114 MH/s "28.5" eth 540w from the wall
i use 2 600w powersupplys, an celeron cpu and a gigabyte mainboard with 4gb ram.
my os is win10 pro an it is setup for mining.

yesterday i install the new claymore miner, the description tells me i can dual mine without a hashratedrop @ eth.
i try this with eth+dcr, but wenn i start mining my eth hashrate drops zu 17MH/s

has anyone try this or a idea?


Play with the -dcri setting maybe?

How did you mod the BIOS to get an RX 570 card to hash at 28.5?  I only get about 24.

Thanks, CJ

...how does the remote monitoring work? Should I open a port in the rig's firewall (windows) and then type 192.168.X.XX:3333 in the browser of any computer of my network?
In the miner folder there is a folder called "Remote Manger". There is a program in there.  Enable monitoring (default port is -3333 (read only)). You can also use browser to just see current output. You don't need to open firewall port if on the same network, just allow miner access first run. If opening port to the outside world, and using positive port (full control), make 110% sure you set -mpsw, there are people that run bots to find miners and overwrite config. You can easily change config remotely with full control which is quite useful, just use locally, or use password.
Thanks, it's working today from another computer of my network (yesterday, it was only working from localhost for some reason).
If I need to change config and so on from anywhere in the world, I'll just use TeamViewer.

I like this Miner, BUT 2 % devee is much too much. Claymore makes millions every month just with this little software. Is that fair? I'm willing to pay like 0.1 % but thats just greedy. I mine with the -nofee Option, its worth me instead of supporting greedy people.
So he's making less and you're making much less, how smart are you?


This fee topic brings a question, though: with the dual miner in simple mining mode (because dual is dead blah blah blah), do you pay 1% or 2% devfee?

1%, it is covered in the readme. 

As for the communist-wannabe "he makes too much" people out there, STFU and go do something else. Life isn't fair, who told you it was? No one requires you to use this software. Your complaints are unfounded. Is there a pool that charges less than 1%?
