Why is there still no transparency on when the Dev Fee is being mined?

 Claymore does this and you should too.

I'm just talking about windows eminer
I notice that some times eminer write devfee on the log but I did not understand how often this is done (I seem to remember after a few hours that I had started it). You can search on your eminer console with CTRL+F.
Also for the profitability there is a problem: every day there are increase of difficulty!

For me anyway the share is much more constant and with Claymore my average hashrate over the last 24 hours on ethermine was 57.4 and now with eminer is 59.2MH/s (2 x RX580)... your average is less than before?

Thanks for the reply and for checking.

Getting 5 to 6 MH/s more than Claymore can also do core underclocks and memory overclocks more agressively on Eminer. However, not as stable as Claymore on Linux.  Longest run w/o crashing was maybe 7 to 10 hours.  Redacting the stability issue.  Looks like it'll be running for 24hrs non-stop in a few hours -- all with aggressive core underclocks and undervolts.  However, IMO, The Eminer dev fee is still a black box.

Also want to encourage the E-miner guy (an AMD Employee perhaps) to keep innovating. I know a lot of work went into this and you have my support. But transparency is crucial.

How can we verify this is only taking out a 1% dev fee? And what is the frequency of the 1% cut vs Claymore?

Even with the slightly higher hashrates, in comparison to Claymore, looks like Eminer profitability is much lower per my Ethermine.org Payout/Rounds dashboard. Also looks like Ether balance accumulates slower on this vs Claymore.

Has anyone else here noticed this? Taking "1%" every 10 minutes is very different from taking 1% every hour.

Please verify and respond.

The miner has 1% devfee, it never change for new features like dualmining or something else but you can disable anytime.

Hi Eminer,

I didn't notice so I figure I ask. Does this show when it's mining for the 1% dev fee?  This would be useful as it gives us transparency.

If it does show, how can I display, b/c haven't noticed any indication from the terminal

What about power consumption? Did you downvolt them?

Spent about 2 hours researching your solution but it was just too complicated with custom kernels, etc.

GPUs are all running cooler. Less Heat. All voltages were reduced via custom bios mods.

I have same config with 32mh++ on eminer.

Can you give me a teamviewer? I can check your config

@bitcoyim can you share your bios settings for your Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580?  I have the same GPU and only getting about 31.24 Mh/s with Eminer.

Your memory-clock and core-clocks are in the image but what voltage steps are you using for core and memory?

Or please feel free to PM if your OK with sharing the bios itself

Thanks mate!

Used the originally posted fix https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2102129.msg21304863#msg21304863. Rig hash rate using Claymore increased from about 244.9 Mh/s to 265.3 Mh/s.

Thank you Mr @cpunkt

Of course no, you should enter stratum password.

Ok, so I'm currently using Claymore's with ethermine.org  My Claymore config file doesn't have a stratum password. So will eminer work without one? If not, how do I create a stratum account and get a password?

You can use x as a password for ethermine.org.

Thanks for clarifying! This seems very legit! With the devfee on, we're currently getting 3Mh/s more with Eminer than with Claymore.

For anyone else using Claymore on linux, the bare minimum equivalent for Eminer is:

Code:
./eminer -S us1.ethermine.org:4444 -U wallet_address -P x

This can be placed in a shell script to execute on system boot.


Here is the output from the Eminer help file:
Code:
christianCoder$ ./eminer -h

Usage of ./eminer:
  -B int
        Run benchmark (default -1)
  -F string
        Farm mode with the work server at URL, use comma for multiple rpc server (default "http://127.0.0.1:8545")
  -L    List GPU devices
  -M string
        Run mine on selected devices, use comma for multiple devices (default "all")
  -N string
        Name of your worker
  -P string
        Password for stratum server
  -S :
        Stratum mode, use comma for multiple stratum server (example: :)
  -U string
        Username for stratum server
  -V int
        Log level (default 3)
  -cpu int
        Set the maximum number of CPUs to use
  -fan-percent string
        Set fan speed percent on selected devices, use comma for multiple devices (amd devices only)
  -fixed-diff
        Fixed diff for works, round solutions
  -http string
        HTTP server for monitoring (read-only) for disable set "no" (default ":8550")
  -intensity string
        GPU work size intensity, use comma for multiple devices (default: 32)
  -kernel string
        Select kernel for GPU devices, currently 3 kernels available, use comma for multiple devices
  -no-devfee
        Disable devfee, this can be impact some performance reduces
  -no-output-color
        Disable colorized output log format
  -stathat string
        Set your stathat email address here to have some basic metrics from stathat.com
  -v    Version

Re: Edited Bios for RX 580

on 17/05/2017, 12:05:17 UTC
I have MSI 580s running on standard firmware, didn't need to modify the bios. Managed with the right script after few hours of tuning to get constant 580Khs and 28Mhs. Fan running at 55%, temp not going above 60C.
Honestly I prefer running on factory firmware with fine tuning.

@Apprentice, would you mind posting (or PMing) the specific settings/script you used to get these performance metrics?

Thanks

@MineCoin.org  I signed-up today (May 13) to participate in the ICO. 

But practically speaking, how do I purchase MNC?  Will there be a "Buy Now" button within my dashboard?  How and where to I send my BTC to purchase?  And is ETH or BTC the purchase currency?
