Topic: Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3 - page 295. (Read 2145062 times)

If the miner can't mine for the devfee, it try again every 5 sec.
After a while, it just stop.

Maybe your pool was down for a (too) long time. You can force the miner to restart every x minute to avoid  that (make a .bat with a loop)

Yes please add support for minergate pools

I can't mine more than serveral hours (14-16) even with 128Gb VM

CPU AMD Athlone 270x
4Gb RAM
win 8.1 cat 13.12  GPU Miner v2.2
GPU/MEM 1030/1500 vCore decrease from 1.2 to 1.1
6 VGA

To fix it first time I set VM 16->128
Then I try to increase VM more, but it did not matter.
I set VM 128->16 then again 16->128. and miner work again)

Any ideas ?

Thank Claymore, please help me how can i put this file "pools.txt" for failover-pool.

I can not set backup-pool as cgminer.

Thanks for sharing this.


Any chance you could fit minergate support into the next update? Not sure how it works on the technical side, but i would imagine it wouldn't be too hard. But then again, i have no idea. I know you mentioned it but im pretty eager for it.

So yeah, minergate support would be great

Thanks again.

Thanks for the advice! Are those working for you with R9 290s? The original programmer initially asked for 13.12 which was the only reason I chose it. Apparently that's changed now?

13.12 drivers are not in beta but 14.6 are though. IMO I would install the 14.6 drivers but the choice is yours.

It sounds like I didn't actually uninstall the previous drivers then? Is there a good way to do that?

I don't think 13.12 is in beta is it?

I would go to control panel, remove ANYTHING ATI/AMD related, make sure you get it all. Delete any folders related to AT/AMD video card on your system os drive, might even run CCleaner's registry cleaner a few times as well. Reboot. Reinstall new beta drivers, reboot. Start the miner up again making sure no OCing software is running or enabled.

That's great.  Can you clarify on the possibility of solo gpu mining?  can I get all the info I need to set that up from this link:  https://github.com/zone117x/node-cryptonote-pool  ?

thx

Within 24 hours I will release new version, much more stable (both pool and GPU parts).

two-part post here.  1) my experience and 2) a solo mining question:

1.  I just loaded up the 2.2 miner a few days ago and started mining on 4x 7970 (2x Asus Matrix and 2x Sapphire dual x).  I get about 1460 h/s on this 7970 rig.  My other rig is just two 280X (1x Sapphire Toxic and 1x Asus top2cu) and it runs at 745 h/s.  So, both rigs are pretty close to what the OP claims as nominal performance values.  Both rigs just run whatever drivers Windows 8.1 loads up.  I don't use any special 12.2 or 14.x drivers.  I run no extra settings on the 7970 rig.. i just let them run at whatever stock is.  For the 280x, I set the --gpu-engine 1100 and --gpu-memclock 1500.  I'm not at home so I don't have my .bat info but it's pretty much just the basic stuff posted above.  Here is the gist of it, copied from Cr@zyheo above:


My problem isn't with hashes or local performance.  My problem seems to be more related to pool performance and MRO payout which of course gets into profit.  I've estimated I should be getting 5 or 6 MRO daily but that doesn't seem to be panning out... maybe more like 4 MRO.  There seems to be a lot of randomness in poos selection or pool switching so that leads me to #2:

2.  Can anyone point me to a tutorial on how to setup a private pool so that I may test on solo mining with this 2.2 GPU miner?  Of if you want to PM me details or links that is fine too.  

Thanks for any help with part two of my post.  Hope part one helped anyone out there.

Edit:  I found this... but can't access it at the moment:   https://github.com/zone117x/node-cryptonote-pool

Thanks for your response.

I run this bat file
===
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

NsGpuCNMiner.exe -o stratum+tcp://monero.farm:1337 -u 47FWB2haQwsekbtLWPhH2bCTxdzCJyuF9c9sj15heZAa8KWmL5p8fXsSbxevtUe75CKWgCvsLv3BuK7 FjLbgTQ7uT1gCjHM -p x

pause

and upon execution of NsGpuCNMiner.exe I get 'NsGpuCNMiner.exe has stopped working' window with the option to checkonline for a solution and close the program or close the program.

Is there a way to enable verbose logging or a log file that might tell us more?

Are you getting any error messages?

So I spent five hours last night trying to get this to work with no luck.

I have an ASRock Extreme 4, Sempron 145, 8GB of RAM, 3x290s.

I uninstalled my 14.4 catalyst drivers through the control panel and then installed 13.12. I change my page file sizes for initial size: and maximum size: to be 18000, 17000, 16000, and 16500. None of these could make the miner work.

Is there a better way to uninstall the drivers maybe? Not sure how people are just getting this to work on the first try.

I have Samsung memory, or am I looking at the wrong thing? GPU-Z reports Samsung.

Start with if you have elpida or hynix memory, that might be the difference, it was with my R9 290's. With this coin and several before it

Hmm, what could I look for? Any Ideas what could be wrong?
