Re: PhoenixMiner 5.4c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
For my 1000 mh/s Nanopool shows that i receive 0.04526 ETH per day.
My concern is that my current and average hashrate at the pool-side is always hovering between 520-740 mh/s while the reported hashrate is accurate at 950-1000 mh/s
Mining ETC has no issue with this at all. Average hashrate is pretty spot on with my reported hashrate.
yeah, its a bit low (0.04526)
i got 0.17343 - 0.18 xxx for 3Gh/s, some time can be 0.2xxxx ETH per day
2 month ago can reach 0.25xxx ETH per day
Interesting. Mind if I ask what pool and mining software you're using?
eth-asia1.nanopool.org
3 rig with ethminer and other with PhoenixMiner (since claymore cant mining)
mostly ethOS only 3 rig using W10(PhoenixMiner)
Thank you for your time and info!

Re: PhoenixMiner 5.4c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
Groovy i think he meant the pool difficulty went up, also i believe it is the pool that sets difficulty for equipment based on how many shares they send in a time frame. If the share is higher difficulty it counts more than a share of lower difficulty so not everything is in share count, if you check whattomine and nanopool how much you earn a month does it match?
That was a good idea.
According to whattomine, a hashrate of 950 mh/s should yield $37.37 per day.
According to nanopool, a hashrate of 950 mh/s is yeilding $28.30 per day
Definitely not a match, unfortunately.
So I'm still scratching my head.
Re: PhoenixMiner 5.4c: fastest Ethereum/Ethash miner with lowest devfee (Win/Linux)
Guys, like most of you, I've been using Claymore for years and loved every single minute of it. My 32 gpu's hashed away beautifully. Since Claymore miner stopped working, I have decided to give PhoenixMiner a try.
I'm hoping someone here can help me makes sense of this.
I've got four (AMD 580 8GB) rigs Mining ETH totalling 32 GPUs. All are hashing away (according to phoenixminer) between 29-31 mh/s per card, just very similar to what I was getting with Claymore's Miner.
I'm used to getting well over 1000 mh/s worth of shares with those rigs. In fact, Nanopool is showing that my reported hashrate is about that as well, except my Current-Hashrate and 6-hour average hashrate hovers around 730 mh/s and my shares reflect that.
I've tried undervolting, not undervolting, adjusting my clock speeds from super high to super low and I"m getting essentially the same results no matter what. Been testing this for well over a few weeks.
My concern is the amount of shares I'm getting with my little mini-farm. After hydro expenses I'm left with peanuts.
All that mining equipment I feel is going to waste.
It just seems suspicious and depressing that pointing 32 GPU's (roughtly 1000 mh/s) at a pool with cards that were all performing perfectly for some time are generating substantially less shares, to the point where it almost makes it not all too worth it to mine anymore. getting about 33.3% less shares, and unfortunately hydro costs are up here in Canada making my 'profits' super bleek and light.
Anyone know of another miner or any tricks I may be missing to get my fair share of shares for hashpower.
There's gotta be a more viable solution to make use of several thousands of $ in mining equipment with re-occurring monthly expenses.
I'm using the latest AMD drivers and the latest PhoenixMiner.
Is anyone here at all perfectly happy with the performance of their 580 8GB rigs?

question,
at nanopool calculator tab, how much eth you gain in 1 day ??
For my 1000 mh/s Nanopool shows that i receive 0.04526 ETH per day.

Mining ETC has to issue with this at all. Average hashrate is pretty spot on with my reported hashrate.

Wake up, difficulty increased by 33%
Actually, according to etherscan, the difficulty is essentially the exact same today as it was when all was well and good with my shares per hour.
I'm wide awake.

Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v15.0 (Windows/Linux)
Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely give these tweaks a try.
Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v15.0 (Windows/Linux)
I really hope Claymore issues an update soon.
I'm getting far less shares with the same hashrate using Phoenix Miner than I was with Claymore's legendary v15 - Something around 15 percent less shares.
Sad times at the ol' rig farm.

Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v15.0 (Windows/Linux)
Thanks for your response, but my virtual mem is, and has always been increased appropriately. Also, I have been using TeamViewer to remotely connect, therefore there's no monitor connected to the unit.
I should have added that they're 4gb cards, but to my understanding they work fine mining ETH still - 5 of my other 4gb cards in that rig are all running as they should.
Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v15.0 (Windows/Linux)
Hi all, hope everyone is well.
I have a situation with one of my RX480's on GPU0 all of a sudden giving me only 2 mh/s on the latest Claymore miner, as well as during a test using PhoenixMiner.
A few hours ago I was getting 31 mh/s for quite some time with absolutely no issues at all.
Since I've discovered this problem, I've made sure it was in compute mode (it was), I've properly removed and updated drivers.
I've even reverted my card back to it's stock bios. None of this has given me my precious 31 mh/s back, sadly.
Strange thing is, if I disable compute mode, while enabling graphics mode, I get a max of 12 mh/s on that card. Compute mode only gives me 2 mh/s, no matter what stock/bios modded, tweaks I do.
What do you folks think is the problem here? If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
Perhaps the riser is crapping out on me?
Cheers.

Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v12.0 (Windows/Linux)

Anyone else semi-compulsively hitting the refresh button for the new version out of sheer curiosity and enthralment?
Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.9 (Windows/Linux)
I have been running Sapphire Pulse RX570 4G and RX580 8G GPU's for the past year using the Claymore dual miner (Win10 Pro) w/o any issues until a few days ago. Same problem on 4 different rigs. Any help will be much appreciated.

Perhaps try rolling back recent Windows updates.
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/rollback-uninstall-windows-10-creators-update
Alternatively, DDU your AMD drivers and install the most recent Adrenaline driver. Consider uninstalling and reinstalling Afterburner to the most recent version as well.
It's strange that your hash rates are so low though.
Best of luck!
I'm using older version of the Claymore Miner - you think that could the cause for sudden hasharate drop??
Claymore's Dual Ethereum+Decred_Siacoin_Lbry_Pascal AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v9.6
I would certainly try using the newest version of Clamore, as well as mine on another pool. Perhaps Ethermine or Nanopool.
I periodically do all the steps I mentioned above while using the latest version of Claymore on Nanopool. I have no problems.
Another thought would be to search amazon for an HDMI dummy plug for each of your GPU's that are not connected to a monitor - something like this. https://www.amazon.ca/Headless-Display-Emulator-Headless-1920x1080-generation/dp/B0732S6KG4?th=1
I'm sure that your issues can be solved with at least one, or a combination of things I have suggested.

Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.8 (Windows/Linux)
What is everyone getting for stock RX 470? I been away from mining for a while, and I'm getting around 15Mh/s. It seems low, but is the decrease due to the DAG file size?
Use the latest AMD driver and set it into "compute" mode for each gpu.
Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.8 (Windows/Linux)
claymore 11.7 crushing windows sometime, but when i use 11.2 then its going good and stable, i think blockchain driver causes crush with claymore, i did upgrade last amd adrenaline driver and v11.8 working good
Thanks for your input, nenvar. I too have been having some random miner issues with the blockchain driver and Claymore's recent releases.
I have been using claymore 11.3 with no problems using the AMD blockchain driver. I mainly used the blockchain driver because I really liked using MSI Afterburner for the fan curve and other settings, but recently the latest version of MSI Afterburner and the Adrenaline drivers seem to be compatible - which is fantastic.
For the past couple of hours I have been testing Claymore 11.8, Adrenaline driver 18.5.1 and Afterburner 4.5 - I'm happy to report things seem quite well.
Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.7 (Windows/Linux)
Wondering if someone has an easy solution to this new problem.
I've been mining for 1 year with no problems across my 5 rigs.
All of a sudden, the majority of my rigs (using various versions of Claymore) are showing GPU0 as 0.00 MH/s. I can only seem to mine if i plug gpu0 into my monitor, but then my other rigs will stop mining.
When I relaunch claymore, it hangs at POOL/SOLO. Eventually it will get going, but GPU0 will be at 0.00, then it loops.
I'm using various versions of claymore across my 5 rigs. Aug23 blockchain drivers and afterburner.
Please help. My hashpower is useless right now.

I use to get the same issue (hangs at POOL/SOLO, miner restarts after restarts).
What helped in my case was to remove all -cclock, -mclock settings. Perhaps you should try to remove all the gpu control and monitoring options and build up from there
That thought has crossed my mind. So far I'm good with plugging all the GPU0's into an HDMI switcher, but if I continue to run into issues, I think I'll give what you mentioned a shot.
Also, thank to all else who have pointed out some interesting methods to prevent updates to Windows. I'm sure this is an issue that is wreaking havoc on a lot of us. I'm willing to bet that there's a good amount of people who have taken some value out of all of your opinions and methods.
Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v11.7 (Windows/Linux)
The best way to stop windows update I have found is to set your page file size so you don't have much hard drive space left. Then when windows trys to download the update it won't because it can't fit
This has been the only 100% way of stopping it for me.

If you're using Windows operating system this may be the solution.
Windows doesn't like to operate well without a monitor attached to the primary video card.
But attaching a monitor isn't recommended when mining.
Try buying a Dummy Plug and put it on GPU 0.
They make HDMI dummy plugs in several forms.
That works great for me. Something like this one at Amazon.
I don't know why this would suddenly start, but I think it's worth a try for you.

Thanks for your advice. I'll give it a shot.
I am indeed using Windows. Even though I've done all I can to prevent automatic updates, even with regedits, Windows seems to update my machines. Often I have to DDU and reinstall the blockchain drivers, which is quite the pain. I assume these new issues I've been dealing with are likely related.
Your advice seems like it just may work. I do know that when I login to my rigs via team viewer, the aspect ratio is perfect if I login to a rig that has a cable plugged into a monitor, even though it's off. Otherwise it's 640x480 if there are no cables attached to GPU0.
Thanks again.
Have you done this to try to stop Windows Update ?
Maybe you already did that, but it has worked for me.
run services.msc
Scroll down to Windows Update.
If its shows running, right click and select STOP.
Then right click again and select Properties.
Set Startup Type to Disabled.
Exit the Services Menu.
Reboot.
Then check again to be sure its really disabled.
Actually I have done that about 4 months ago. It's currently set to "manual", so I must have either not applied this tweak properly, or it somehow mysteriously switched. Thanks for the reminder - I have gone ahead and disabled it.
Additionally, thanks to you I tried using a 4-port HDMI switcher that I had laying around to see if it would give me the same result as those dummy plugs you spoke of - and it has indeed solved my problem
Cheers!

Thanks again.
