The indexing of the GPUs must be in a way that I did not predict when making v0015.

What I saw with my 5 card setup on an ASUS 270P was that it only picked up 4 cards when a card was plugged into the slot above the mail PCI Express slot. When I moved the card to another one everything was working 100%

I just reformatted my drive and set up the bash file again. Lets hope it fixes the DAG issue.

If I have corrupted DAG file, how can I delete it? Can't find it in the normal place.

The DAG is built on the GPUs with Claymore.  

I would reboot if you have a message from Claymore about a corrupted DAG file. ( I am not familiar with such an error message ).

Apparently the DAG file is stored here: ~/.ethash, but I cant seem to 'cd' there to delete it. The message was from dwarfpool, not Claymore.

My first guess is that; you're mining a different Ethash coin than the one expected with dwarfpool: ie ETC on an ETH pool or ETH on a EXP pool. 

If this is correct; it is most likely due to using the wrong port for the coin of your choice.

Everything was working 100% then randomly started giving this problem

I would try another pool and see if it's just dwarfpool.  Nanopool is easy to try without an account.

Nanopool not picking it up either.

On their FAQ:

My hashrate on pool drops to zero and no more shares accepted, although miner is working as usual.
Most probably, DAG files on your miner were corrupted and it computes invalid shares. Try to stop the miner, delete DAG files and start the miner again.
DAG files location: %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Local/Ethash

Dwarfpool not getting a calculated speed even though claymore is mining: https://dwarfpool.com/eth/address?wallet=0x2724fec58dcB620E09bDAbA78E951B38A4C57066

@Fullzero.

How do you start oneBash script. I see it automatically starts when you open a terminal.

Is there a specific reason it works like this? How plausible would it be for me to change it so that the bash file is called on startup through a cron or rc.local call? That way it can easily be converted to run in a screen and is not dependent on having a terminal window open. I can't get it working via SSH as your post describes here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1854250.msg19503300#msg19503300.

I know I linked it earlier, but something along these lines: http://www.cryptobadger.com/2017/04/build-ethereum-mining-rig-linux/

Please do not make any changes on my account. If you can just point me in the right direction on your current startup method I can figure it out.

Everything is up and running. Thanks so much OP. Do you have a wallet I can donate something to?

One quick question. How can I monitor mining through ssh without closing the mining process and opening on the remote pc. (at least that's how I understand the guide you provided).

I was thinking of something like the last step in this guide, where you use a screen? http://www.cryptobadger.com/2017/04/build-ethereum-mining-rig-linux/

For now I can use nvidia-smi to monitor temps at least.

if when you start screen you use this argument:

Code:
screen -dmS rig1

replacing rig1 with any name

screen with launch as a background process

in theory it should continue to run if you detach from the screen pressing:
Code:
CTRL + D

then you should in theory also be able to reattach to the screen with:

Code:
% screen -r

I am saying 'in theory' because I just read the article you linked and haven't tried this.

I will get around to delving into the depths of screen configurations at some point.



Please check my post on the next page.

Hi,

Thanks for all your effort. Once I get everything up and running I hope there is somewhere I can donate.

I need some advice though. I'm trying to flash the image to a 16gb ADATA S102 flash drive (Capacity shows 15.81GB in HDD Raw Copy), but it fails at 99%. is there something I can do, or should I get a bigger flash?

You should get a bigger one. But at times it will still work, so you can test it. If the system boots and starts mining, all is ok. Be patient, booting (depending on number of cards) can take a couple of minutes. Make sure you've read the OP, connect a monitor to GPU0 (not the internal video card) to see the booting process. All is automated, so just wait and see Wink..

The image still works if capacity is over 15.8 as shown in tool. Less..it doesn't work. Fullzero explained it a bit better a few pages ago to me

Yea it doesn't complete the transfer and there's 1gb unallocated space. I'll just get a bigger flash.
