Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v10.5 (Windows/Linux)
Hello,
can someone explain me why in single mine ETH i get higher Average Hashrate than reported Hashrate and when i use dual mine eth+pasc i get like 10-15% less Average Hashrate than reported on a 24h test.?
On both Single and Dual mine i have 180 mh/s reported hashrate.

Are you sure that the miner isn't restarting when you switch to dual?
I've got to tune my overclock much differently between ETH and DUAL to keep it stable. Dual generates more heat and uses more power as well.
Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v10.3 (Windows/Linux)
So is there any reason why I would not want to run a separate instance of Claymore for each GPU? I'm using the "-di " switch to only select one card per instance.
I'm finding this much better when it comes to tuning a setup since one card crashing doesn't cause all cards to reload and waste precious mining time.
The only downside I'm seeing is reported hashrate on the pool is wrong since all instances have the same miner name but the calculated average looks spot on. Of course it might use a bit more memory and CPU but I don't think it's anything significantly important.

" since all instances have the same miner name" - To get individual names use /Miner01 /Miner02 etc where you have the miner name in each bat file.
Ya, I know it's just not worth the work to get the correct hashrate to be reported.
I simply did something like this in my start.bat:
start "0" EthDcrMiner64.exe -mode 1 -ftime 10 -ethi 16 -altnum 3 -platform 2 -mport 3330 -mpsw pass -di 0
start "1" EthDcrMiner64.exe -mode 1 -ftime 10 -ethi 16 -altnum 3 -platform 2 -mport 3331 -mpsw pass -di 1
start "2" EthDcrMiner64.exe -mode 1 -ftime 10 -ethi 16 -altnum 3 -platform 2 -mport 3332 -mpsw pass -di 2
...and so on.
All my pool config is in epool.txt and this method does not need copies of the miner folder, so all instances are running from the one folder and exe.
Just wondering if there are any technical benefits of having all cards run under one instance like more efficiency etc...

I mean it's one thing to help others to get out of a fee which has it's ethical implications, but a whole other thing to skim part of the stolen dev fee on top for yourself.
Appreciate all the advice from all of you guys on this. I'll probably reach out to the police tomorrow morning unless they "reach out to me" first.
I was joking around with my girlfriend that if they do bust in, I'm going to ask if they'd be willing to pose next to my mining rig.

I installed 2 60 amp 3 phase receptacles in my warehouse in CA on a Friday a few months back. On the following Monday morning I had 3 trucks from the city and utility department taking pictures and documenting everything. They threatened to shut down power but I have a monitored fuel tank in the back so the state law prevented that from happening. My power usage went from 4 kW to 44 kW and I do have a smart meter at the building, so that's what triggered it. I have attempted to get a permit after the fact but ran into issues with that so they will probably come by one day to disconnect everything. I just applied for 1 MW of power at a building in WA so I hope that goes smoothly, currently running 40 kW there without incident.
So that might explain a bit, I'm in CA too and also have a "smart meter". What was their reasoning to threaten to shut it down? Was all your work up to code?
What I find funny about all of this is that I know there are idiots out there risking their freedom by jumping the meter to get free electricity. Here I am doing nothing wrong (yet paying an arm and leg for electricity) and I'm probably on some list, while some scumbags who are literally stealing don't get bothered.
Yes i have heard that police raids miners house in russia, but i really cant understand why and what problem they have...
Maybe the governments are opposed to bitcoin, because they cant control it, but i think nothing can stop bitcoin and privacy

Generally high electrical usage is equated to marijuana growing operations. So while the high usage may get their attention, once they go through the process of getting a search warrant, they may try to find another reason to bust you even if extremely petty.
Somebody is definitely messing with you. I'd invest in security a bit. Get a security system with cameras that tracks movement and sends messages to your email and phone every time it's triggered. These things aren't expensive, you can get a decent one below $1000, provided you'll set it up yourself.
It may be some weirdo, a curious neighbor, one of your friends, the government... Don't get paranoid, but secure your investment. Better locks might help too

Yeah I have a pair of cameras that I put up right after the the guy was in our parking lot. I have one camera that just records motion (outside and gets triggered a lot). The other camera is at my front door and it sends an alert to my phone when I'm not home and it senses motion.
My guess is that it's the police like you said and if that's the case just call them and let them know what's going on. It's better not to waste anymore of your or their time on this. If you wait until too long and they end up kicking in your door then the dectective will have to have to "make a case" somehow. Just keep in mind that although mining isn't illegal trading can be if not using a FINCEN trader. This isn't something they're likely to care about as long as you identify what you're doing now, but if they kick in the door for no reason and need to bring a charge to avoid a lawsuit then this is an easy one to hang on almost any miner.
The other thing you might consider is to think back who you discussed your mining operations with. Mining equipment is very expensive and an apartment is a soft target. In this case I also recommend talking to the police and they'll step up patrols in your neighborhood.
The last thing I would say is I still can't see how people using PG&E are mining at home. Find a hosting company and send your equipment to them. Less stress and will cost you less.

Will think about it a bit more and and probably call the local police soon. Wonder if they can do anything to me if I never actually turned any crypto back into USD, I've only traded between different crypto.
Yeah, I've thought back who might know what I have and it's very limited.
Overall I enjoy this as a sort of hobby. If it's more cost effective overall it might be worth getting hosting. thanks.
Wow, what a story. It almost sounds like a fiction.
I do think that if you are doing nothing else illegal, and just mining, then the reason why all this happened was probably because of your electricity usage, especially when you are living in an apartment. Using so much electricity is simply not normal.
It could be possible that the police is working in conjunction with the power companies to catch weed growers, i don't know. It's a really wild guess. I have never mined with a lot of equipment consuming tons of energy, nor have i ever grown pot indoors. So i don't know man. Just try to not make yourself look too suspicious and you'd be alright.

Yeah it's a lot to process, it's been about two weeks since who the weird guy showed up about 5 days since I received the books as a "gift". It's kind of a lot to process and it led me to setting up some cameras (specifically right after the guy was scoping the apartment out). When I received the books I was not sure if maybe a passive aggressive neighbor was trying to tell me something (because I got those after the camera went up so maybe they notice that) both kind of make sense but I think what I posted here initially fits best.
I don't have anything to hide but it does make my mind run and it's a bit nerve wrecking.
Is there any way for you to let them know whats up? Tell them or even show them around so its not unsolicited?
Thought about that, but I'm not sure who would be conducting the investigation, I'm not sure if it's local police or another agency. I'll try and look a bit more into this, I would not want the police showing up and making me look like some criminal if they come here in some spectacular fashion. I also hope they are not asking about me from my work or anything like that as that could potentially affect my job even if there is nothing illegal going on with me.
So recently I notice a few really odd things that all kind of lead me to think I might in the process of being investigated.
1) Power company stopped letting me look at my usage the way I normally do and I can't make modifications to my power plan or even view how much it's estimated to cost me. The first month my bill for electricity didn't even show until the following month and still I have these weird restrictions on my account. I use PGE and normally I can see a day/day hour/hour breakdown of cost and usage. This is all gone now.
2) My neighbor reported some strange guy walking in our apartments private lot, he parked his moto behind my car the walked around taking picture of random things near the apartment. This person apparently came by about 2-3 times as I saw him when I got home and my neighbor had pics of him 30 mines earlier. He kept looking at me kind of oddly, but I ignored it not giving it any though at the time. Later is when my neighbor showed me picture and told me more details.
3) I get two books mailed to me that I didn't order, when i contacted the site that sent them they could only tell me the first name is given and it's not anyone I know or anyone who'd send me books. The books were "The little price" and "George Orwell 1984".
So by now you all must be thinking "ok this dude is paranoid, how does any of this fit together?"...
1) When i called PGE they were really curious about my power usage, and my theory is police and power companies work together to catch people who grow weed.
2) My theory with this is he was some sort of private investigator hired to check out my house since it flagged me as some weed grower based on the power usage. He apparently asked my neighbor "is there a yard?". (The other theory with this guy is that maybe he was casing my apartment. I have a nice car in the drive way so maybe a thief looking for ways to break in.)
3) This one is what really got me thinking, not actually reading either one of these books I found out that 1984 is just kind of a "big brother is watching" type of book and Little Prince is a "Don't value money value people" type of moral. Now... I'm a young guy and innocent looking, I would not doubt that that private investigator was trying to tip me off that "someone is watching and my values need to change".
All of this has happened within two months since I started mining, I use about 70 KWh per day...
Anyways what are your thoughts? I'd like to hear all your opinions because since these odd things happeneing recently it just made my mind run quite a bit. I know I'm making some leaps here but it's really the best theory I have that fits all of this. My life is normally pretty ordinary and neighborhood very calm so these small things stand out a little (while not on their own, they do together).
I guess best thing I can do it clean up my house for when they come with the search warrant... lol

Can someone out there who actually has the AR version confirm (or deny) that it works with 7 GPU's?
I was able to get 8 cards on my Prime Z270-AR with an M.2 adapter, Did not try for 9.
7 GPUs is not an issue.
Any idea on the full spec of that fuse?
I'm thinking of just soldering an external fuse holder.
This is the exact issue 2 cards have had already and shipping it back for RMA just to replace the fuse seems ridiculous. Rather not waste my money on shipping since fuses are much cheaper.
No exact spec sorry. My educated guess would be a fast blow 10A ceramic fuse in a 1206 SMT package. Something like this should work just fine: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/bel-fuse-inc/0685H9100-01/507-1942-1-ND/5466714
I'll probably order ten or so since they're cheap...
My only 1070 ITX with this issue (out of 8 total) is still going strong and i still have that cheap multimeter acting as a fuse on it because I have other things to do. It's also fun to watch current readings fluctuate around 6.0A
-scsi
So I guess this was not the same issue on mine.
The fuse is blown, but there seems to be a more serious underlying cause. The PSU instantly went into a protect mode if I shorted across the fuse.
Wouldn't doubt if I made things worse.
