Claymore - ETH + LBRY - "STUCK" running in '-mode 1' despite '-mode 0' set. ????

I get strange switch settings from Claymore's miner, as well. Things like remote port management, it must be something in the .exe code. Obviously it's not using that config.txt file as its source. I used the README!! file and info from nanopool  to make a start.bat file.

here's the one for nanopool, the pools are all somewhat different in detail,

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-us-west1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal ./ -epsw x -mode 1 -ftime 10 -mport localhost:-3391 -ethi 10 -platform 2

In Windows, you'd make a desktop shortcut to that start.bat file and start your miner that way.

just changing that one line isn't going to do anything, you need to uncomment the "EthDcrMiner64.exe" command as well as the -epool/-ewal/-epsw ones. I like using a start.bt file because you explicitly feed it the details, the miner software doesn't have to go looking at the "defaults".

PS. I'm just learning this stuff by trial and error, I'm no 'expert'. I'm still trying to figure things out myself. At least, that one works.

PPS. I see I used my eth-only file, but the principle is the same for dual-mining. set the -dpool/-dwal/-d(etc) switches in the start.bat file as well.

When I kick off Claymore's dual mining for ETH & LBRY, it mines only ETH and says it's in -mode 1. Mines ETH just fine, but I'm wanting to dual mine.

I've did not modify any of the Claymore files when fired it up, as I am running everything unmodified straight from Claymore's download.

I've read the entire "Read me" text file. Reviewed the "config" file, where everything is disabled with the # in front of each command.

Thus, I did try to fix by removing the # from the mode command, to try and force it to dual mine in -mode 0. No luck. Here's the config file:

# WARNING! Remove "#" characters to enable lines, with "#" they are disabled and will be ignored by miner! Check README for details.
# WARNING! Miner loads options from this file only if there are not any options in the command line!

#-epool us1.ethpool.org:3333
#-ewal 0xD69af2A796A737A103F12d2f0BCC563a13900E6F
#-epsw x
#-dpool stratum+tcp://yiimp.ccminer.org:4252
#-dwal DsUt9QagrYLvSkJHXCvhfiZHKafVtzd7Sq4
#-dpsw x
#-esm 1
-mode 0
#-tt 70
#-asm 0

Removing the # for '-mode 0' is the ONLY change I've made to any of the Claymore files.

Even after I make this change, when i kick off the dual ETH + LBRY, it fires up and mines only ETH, as if I kicked off the .bat file to just run ETH. Before it downloads the DAG files, it confirms it's connected to nanopool, and also says it's in "-mode 1", which when running the dual ETH + LBRY it should be in "- mode 0", RIGHT?.


ANY IDEAS ON WHAT IS GOING ON HERE / HOW TO RESOLVE?

I really would like to dual mine, but am stuck here.

Confused because I downloaded the Claymore files directly and did not make any modifications to them, except to the 'config' file in an attempt to force it to run in '-mode 0' dual mining, but it's not working for me.

Any suggestions on what I need to do to resolve are GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks,
Gillzilla.
