Hello,
What is the right way to migrate my wallet from the current (old) laptop to a new one?
I have installed the latest version of the wallet on both laptops, they can connect to the Energi network.

Re: RX580 (4GB) mining with 1.4 MH/s

I was away for a while, but posting just to close the topic, if anyone would have similar problems.
The issue was (as expected) that the video output (monitor) was connected to one of the 4GB GPUs.
Since this rig has 8 x 4GB cards, I have connected the monitor to the motherboard and have switched to HiveOS.
This has worked for short time, but then I suppose the DAG file became too big. Due to some time away, I have turned off the rig.

Now that I am back, does anyone know if plugging 8GB card in the 1st slot will keep the 4GB cards mining ETH in the future, I suppose not?

What is your output from phoenixminer list?

I didn't really know about list - will check and respond tomorrow.

Hello,
I have couple of rigs and a question/issue for each of them. I will appreciate if someone can give advice.


Rig 1) 6 x RX580 8GB - since couple of weeks I started having problems with ETH. I have updated the drivers as they were pretty old. I have been using Claymore for a long time with no problems. I have read that it's no longer the best option, so I tried Phoenix miner, which I am using on the other Rig already - latest ver.5.4c. It starts, connects to the pool and at the end of the creation of the DAG, it gives this error:
Code:
2020.12.30:17:39:49.974: GPU1 GPU1: clSetKernelArg (-48)
2020.12.30:17:39:49.974: wdog Fatal error detected. Restarting.
I could not find solution so far. I have increased the virtual memory to 54000, just in case, the drivers are the latest version, the phoenix miner is the latest version. Any suggestions what could be causing this?

Rig 2) 8 x RX580 4GB - started having issues with mining ETH couple of months ago, tried Hive OS - it was working fine for a while, started having problems again.. so I gave up. Now mining ETC under Windows, but it's barely covering the electricity costs. What are you mining now with the 4GB cards? I have read about workaround - putting 1 x 8GB card in the primary slot and then having the rest 4GB - is that working?

And if I got it correctly, the next options would be:
1) Put 8GB card (as I have some in another rig) in the 1st PCIE slot
2) Switch to Linux OS (HiveOS for example) - no experience there, so I leave that as last resort.

Any clue what would be the best use of the 4GB cards after Dec, when the DAG exceeds 4GB?

Thanks for the idea. I was reading this thread, but didn't expect that the result from the monitor being connected to 1 of the GPUs will be so significant. I was rather thinking that it will up to few MH/s.
Now that I have connected the monitor to the iGPU via DVI-D <-> HDMI it works OK. Thanks!

RX580 (4GB) mining with 1.4 MH/s
by

on 01/09/2020, 15:56:04 UTC
Hello,

I have a strange problem with AMD rig.
The same set up was working just fine for months before the summer time. Then I have stopped the rig for ~6 months. Now when I turned it on, I face the problem below.

Setup:
Asrock H110 Pro BTC+
8 x XFX RX580 4GB
2 PSUs - EVGA 850W
OS: Windows 10
Mining SW: Phoenix 5.1c
Overclock SW: OverdriveNtool

When I turn on the rig, all card are recognized and start mining as expected, except the 1st card (in PCIE (x16) slot 1). The hashrate for it is very low - 1,4 MH/s.
- My monitor is plugged in the same card. If I connect it to another card, obviously Windows won't boot. If I use dummy HDMI plug - the problem is still there.
- If I swap the USB cables (at the MB side) between PCIE 1 (x16) and 2 (which was working OK) - same story => it should not be a raiser issue.

No matter if I set the miner to use 1, 2 or all 8 cards - the card in Slot 1 (x16) will have only 1,4 MH/s

Tried setting up the PCIE Gen from the Bios to Auto and Gen2 - makes no difference.

Any ideas what may be going wrong?

Code:
Available GPUs for mining:
GPU1: Radeon RX 580 Series (pcie 1), OpenCL 2.0, 4 GB VRAM, 36 CUs
GPU2: Radeon RX 580 Series (pcie 2), OpenCL 2.0, 4 GB VRAM, 36 CUs

lol you got geu-west
replace with eu-west  Tongue
Probably typo, it's eu-west in the .bat file.
I have found few other people trying to do the same and it seems that the bminer does not work for AMD, at least for now.

Thanks! Seems like I wasn't typing it correctly.

^ https://www.bminer.me/examples/#specifying-devices ^
you need to parse in -devices amd:0
I have tried that, but maybe I'm doing something wrong with the syntax.
Where should that go?

Without it, that's what I currently have in the .bat file:

Code:
@echo OFF
REM Change the following address to your GRIN addr.
SET ADDRESS=Rig1.1
SET USERNAME=mymail%%40gmail.com
SET POOL=geu-west-stratum.grinmint.com:4416
SET SCHEME=cuckaroo29
SET PWD=123123


REM If you're passing in emails, the '@' characters need to be escaped (%%40)
REM If the pool use / to annoate rigs, the '/' charaactrs need to be escape (%%2F)
SET EMAIL=mine%%40bminer.me
START "Bminer: When Crypto-mining Made Fast" bminer.exe -uri %SCHEME%://%USERNAME%:%PWD%@%POOL% -api 127.0.0.1:1880

Hello,
I've been mining GRIN for few days using GGM. GrinPro miner also seems to be working. However, I want to squeeze a little bit more hash power from the RX580 8G that I have, so I tried bminer (latest version 14.1).
I'm getting the following error:
" Failed to initialize the CUDA platform: CudaError: Failed to load nvml.dll "
It seems to be something related to the bminer software, as the mining works just fine with the other two miners.
I have tried searching with no luck. Any ideas what may be going wrong?

Given that the cost of mining is like $1 per coin or so

How come it's 1$ per coin?
What I see is 6 x RX580 ( 6 x 1.7 gps = ~ 10gps). For more than 24h, I can't mine even 1 coin..

I would advise against using a direct transfer to an exchange. If anything goes wrong you might get screwed. Install the "official" wallet in a Linux VM and withdraw to it using the file method, then send coins to the exchange as desired.
Would that work with a bootable Linux distribution on a USB stick?

I am mining for a day or two, so still new and haven't done any withdraws from the pool (grinmint.com). I am using Windows btw.
Can somebody who has already done that advise/explain the withdraw process (for Windows) and what may go wrong (so more attention there)?
I was thinking of sending directly to exchange and use it's address (as it seems like the easiest option), but what do you recommend, which wallet do you use, is there anything for Windows?

I just started mining Grin in grinmint.com (Win10, AMD). I've created account in BitForex, as this seemed like the most straight-forward way to get a wallet address where I can send the mined coins (when confirmed etc).
Can somebody who has already went through that explain the process - once there are mined coins in GrinMint, how to get them in BitForex with min.risk?

Another question - I saw some topics for Bminer being the fastest miner. I have AMD cards, so it doesn't work with them, right?

RX 580, 8GB gives me ~ 1,5 gps - is that OK, good or bad?

W10, RX 580, GrinGold Miner 7.2 app. 1,7gps

Then probably you need to specify the manufacturer of the video card and the clock core/memory.
My Asus STRIX RX480 8GB:
Memory timing - PBE 1.6.7 One click timing patch
Core clock - 1310Mhz
Mem clock - 2000Mhz
PL - 0%
Win10 64bit; Adrenalin 8.6.1.
Hashrate:
GrinGoldMiner 2.8b stable - ~1.76 g/s (1.73-1.79);
GrinPro 1.0 - ~2.00 g/s (1.98-2.01).
I have Saphire Nitro and Pulse:
GPU - 1175
Memory - 1100 to 1200

It was a pretty efficient spot to be w/ GGM.  Grin Pro (basically new vers of GGM) gives a massive bump to 2 gps w/ same settings.
Thanks, tried GrinPro and I get ~1,7gps on each car.
What settings do you have on the RX580 to get 2gps?
