Re: Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v10.2

Claymore, what about Pitcairn bugs? With -dmem 1 too much incorrect shares. Without -dmem 1 speed less than 9.7. Power consumption in 10.2 is less - it's better than 9.7.

+1,  the incorrect shares problem happens on both overclocked and non-overclocked cards.  I too have to use 9.7 for my R9 270 cards.   Waiting patiently for a fix.

Hi!

Pretty sure this is a ridiculous question for you guys but i´m pretty new in mining (especially in monero mining).
I´m using claymore  Miner and everything is working stable and fine.
Also the rigs Performance is (i think) okay... 8x sapphire nitro rx 580 8gb with roundabout 5700-5800h/s with sucking ~940W from wall.

The only weird Thing is that the miner shows me lots (i mean really lots) of "Dev Fee Share Found" Messages.
I mean nearly every line says Dev Fee. wtf!?

Is this normal? On the other side nanopool.org tells me roundabout "correct" hash power.
Are there any hints regarding this question?
And no, i do NOT want disable dev fee and other dick stuff... i´m not asking for this -> just would like to know if this (see screenshot link) behavior is normal.

It's fine. The devfee system is mining at a lower difficulty (5000) so it finds shares faster/more frequently than your miners, which are mining a a higher difficulty.  Keep in mind that your shares are worth much more than the dev's shares as well.

Claymore!  You're so quiet, buddy!  Care to give us an update?

that greedy asshole is to busy spending the money he earned of us.

Re: RX 560 4GB Ethereum

I also paid Branko to assist with my bios as I was targeting higher XMR speeds. Definitely worth the ETH if plug-n-play bios are not working for you, and you are having trouble pinning down timings with these picky hynix cards.  Branko was friendly and helpful, and I never felt that he was going to run away with my eth, or that he was impatient or tired of working with me.


Just be aware that variations in cards can affect results.  One of my sapphire 560 4g OCs bumped up nicely to 440 from 320h/s with his timings, while the other identical card was resistant to anything but very loose timings at a high clock rate, and still couldn't get past 400.   

It seems that the OC cards from various manufacturers that are using overclocked hynix memory can be tough to tweak and vary from card to card.

Claymore - Possible bug.

With 10.2 Beta I am getting incorrect shares on my two Gigabyte 270 OC (Pitcairn) (non X)

I'm using the stock settings (-h 512) on non-overclocked cards.  9.7 did/does not give incorrect shares.

For me, this miner, for the old cards type 7850(1,2gb), 270(x), 280(x) is totally unusable, unfortunately. 15-30% less hash from clay9.7 version and too manny low diff share.

I spend 40 hours of my life trying to install it properly  that at least I get at least the same hash rate, but , it's not worth it. 7850 with 1 GB of memory and 7950 remain on clay9.7, the rest on kachur miner

My two 270s get 422 and 456h/s respectively when I engage the overclock settings.  No other miner provides me with anything near that.   



I have the same gigabyte cards.

9.7 provides me with better hashrates.  860h/s between my two 270 versus 840h/s with 10.2.   I'm not running blockchain drivers though on this particular computer, I use this workstation for photo/video editing and I don't know how much the blockchain drivers will affect performance for that.

Finally I have fixed the bug with Vega.
New version will be available within 24 hours.
Also I will reduce devfee and it will be executed once an hour, similar to dual and zec miners.

Will/can you optimize this miner for baffin?  You got nice increases for those cards on the zec and the dual miner.

Pretty please?  Grin

Re: (XMR) Monero mining with 4x RX 560 4GB - Profitable?

So I'm thinking of cashing in some of my BTC, to the tune of $900 and buying 4x RX 560 4GB cards to mine Monero, or even possibly Ethereum (or ethereum classic depending on whichever is a better investment...) Each card should get a base hash rate of 350h/s.
Mining calc tells me that it's $80, with current difficulty and price, a month, on the cards alone (mining Monero).
So is it a good idea to buy them and try my luck with gpu mining or keep the bitcoin and hope the price keeps going up?

You forget about one very important information when you asked your question ...
How much are you paying for electricity (with all the taxes) ? this is a mayor factor to calculate your mining income.

with current difficulty , monero/fiat exchange rate with 4 cards you can get around 80$/months minus electricity
if you have to pay 9-10 cents/kwh (or 0.09-0.1USD/kwh) you not going to make any extra income with current difficulty and monero/fiat exchange rate as of today 09/23/2017 .. what you mining you going to spend on your power bill Sad

use a very simple mining calculator , put there your electricity rate and find out ...
Coinwarz Monero Mining Calculator


I'm paying $0.06/kwh for my electricity, which works, but I'm wondering if I will get ROI back, and if I should even buy the miners.
Should I mine for the 4 months and hope that difficulty doesn't hike or just keep the money in BTC?

450mhs is optimistic - you need to have the right cards and the right bios/settings to reach that.  Out of the box they do 315-330.

Even if you get 450mhs, it's going to take you 8-9 months to break even on the cards.  If you're going into this for short-term (one-year) profits, it's probably not going to work for you well.  If you're doing this as a hobby, and you like tinkering, and you plan to mine and sell a portion of your mined coins to diversify your altcoin portfolio to hold for the long-term, then it might be fun and possibly profitable.

Try setting your page file minimum to 16gig.

Registered just to say thank you, Claymore, your fee is greatly outweighed by the 10+% increase I get in hashrates on my old 270s compared to any of the other miners.

Also, now that there are other coins based off of cryptonight that are getting profitable, it would be nice if you make a sumo and/or generic cryptonight miner.

Thanks for all you do.
