Today I tried mining Monero with the new CryptoNightV7 algo for the first time but I only get "low difficulty share" errors and can't seem to fix it.

I tried setting the algo manually and also let Cast XMR auto select but neither fixed it.

If I'm mining a coin with the old CryptoNight algo everything works fine, can anyone help me?

Just tried out your program today....so far the best performance I have seen with any mining software I have used. I do have some questions....
1) Can't get the help function to work. I have tried --help command and i can't get it to work. Can you put out a separate message with all of the line commands for this version?
2) Is there a way to have the temperature and fan speeds remain on one part of the screen? It's pretty annoying to see scrolling lines of temperature and fan speeds.
3) From your latest message I gather there is no performance advantage to update from the blockchain drivers (17.30.1029)?

Thanks for your time......

Just for completeness I'm running seven RX470 and one RX570 GPUs. Getting about 6.4 kH/s on ~7A (~800W measured at wall). The RX470's are getting about 820 kH/s and the RX570 is getting about 700 KH/s....

glph3k,

Any recommendations on which is the preferred driver for CAST XMR miner for Vega64s ?

Latest 2018 Blockchain driver or 18.3.4 driver ?

Testing..
Rig 1: 4 x Vega64
Rig 2: 8 x Vega64
Rig 3: 2 x Vega56

Thanks

I just made the switch from blockchain to new adrenaline. Only issue i had was finding a soft power play table for one of my AIB 56's. Everything running the same but saving around 10w a GPU over blockchain drivers.

Can you report back if, in the future, you get a crash and Vegas start disappearing of the PCIe bus? I never experienced this with the old August blockchain drivers, but I have seen this with the new Adrenaline drivers. I am wondering whether it is a motherboard/bios issue or a driver issue.

Thanks.

I havent had this happen since switching, but I did have that happen once on blockchain drivers. It was a strange windows hang that required a power cycle of my server PSU's. I think its related to not shutting down Cast-xmr properly with the Q command. I'll let you know if i run into it again on adrenaline drivers.

Any update here, same thing just started happening to me. 4x Vega 56s. two running at 17* and the other two running normal. Any help? Huh

I solved my problem by using an auto mouse and keyboard macro recorder. I set it to Q(quit) out of Cast XMR every 6 hours give it a 1 minute breather and restart it. Every 6 hours something happens to my Cast so rather than figure it out, I'm just restarting it right before it starts getting flaky.

To be fair, this is nothing against Cast. I have a 13 card rig and I'm mixing Nvidia and AMD together. Although on older versions I never had issues WITHOUT the --ratewatch, I'm looking forward to further iterations of that command.

Still love the project, hope to see more updates!

hi

something goes wrong with 0.95 and 0.96.
BC drivers,soft table reg

i don't know why,cast stop hashing ,maybe 20min maybe 10hours.

cast not crashing,just stop hashing :/

everything fine with 0.92...for weeks....

i got vega 56 and vega 64. When i upgrade to 9.6 from 9.5 , mining on vega 56 is fine, but on vega 64, HS drops from 2000 to 1600. mining monero, with watchdog, power tables etc. and i have latest drivers, hbcc disabled

Hi,

try the option "--ratewatchdog" to monitor the hash rate and automatic restart of a dropping GPU.

Or use the cast-xmr-ui for monitoring:

https://github.com/anadventureisu/cast-xmr-ui

Btw. are you using the Blockchain Beta or 18.3.4 driver?

Regards,
glph3k

I'm using --ratewatchdog and Blockchain Beta From August

It seems like after sometime if watchdog kicks in, the hash rate drops lower. It doesn't appear as if my graphics driver crashed, because normally it will reset all of my OC settings. Which also I tried to adjust OC settings however I'm not having much luck.

In the above sample I posted, each card will start off by doing roughly 1870Hs, but after a few kernel resets I guess over the course of the day, some of the cards just become obsolete. Maybe ratewatchdog is not fully bringing the vega to it's potential. When the hashrate drops, I also notice that particular card no longer reports hashes that often. As you can tell by that small insert, GPU 1 started reporting hashes but 0 2 3 slowly fell off. So it's interesting!

OC is 0 Core 905 Mem and -20% power

Thank you for any advice you have.

UPDATE: I was able to watch this happen today and I wanted to share the log

Quote

Now after GPU 3 was reset > it dropped to 56 hashes and it's no longer showing up like GPU 0 1 2 (3 the one which was just reset is now MIA)

Any update here, same thing just started happening to me. 4x Vega 56s. two running at 17* and the other two running normal. Any help? Huh

Still not working here at sumokoin, criptonight heavy. I tried many times mines with so many ways... and ever and ever crashed and got lots of erros

One way work here and just with the rx 580 but it gets only 443h/s... but toke just 443h/s is the same as not working

Btw I hope that the new update will be good

It may seems counterintuitive, but removing the ratewatchdog command resolved the problem for me.
I also had those low 60hs rate per cards showing up, but removing the "watchdog" eliminated the problem for good.

When I remove it, my hash rate drops after 1-2 hours from 18XX to 15 or 16 XX

Ratewatch is crucial for me Sad

Try this, unless you already did it:
Check if in your MotherBoard BIOS setting for the PCIe slots are set on GEN1 or GEN2, instead of auto.
GEN1 or GEN2 are the appropriate settings for mining.

There's no API to monitor this miner, right?

I would prefer this miner, but need the monitoring to work (checking if it's dead or not). How would you do it?

Add "-R" to your command line and access the API by the ip address of the rig and port 7777, eg. 192.168.1.10:7777
