Topic: Claymore's CryptoNote Windows CPU Miner v4.0 - page 21. (Read 565401 times)

I also did not have issues with Zcash/ETHMiners from him, so this one makes me concerned

I believe these are false positives.  I've found most/all miners seem to be flagged as malware of viruses, probably because the script kiddies are using them in their bots.  If you look at https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/2a4420806dc0288f06faf80c3e884c20090e31d7e783cf2abc3d9a7ccc88846f/analysis/, you'll see that even though there are a lot of hits, most of them are because it IS a coinminer.  If you try any other miner, you'll probably get similar results. 

I, myself, have never had an issue with Claymore's miners, and will continue to use them.  Peace...

Yeah, I've got the same issue. Did you solve it?

That's GPU. This is a CPU miner. Hence my question. 

I just wanted to download the recent version from Google, but Chrome does not allow download because it has found a Virus. Does anyone have the same problem?

Any chance of ZCash support Claymore?

what are you talkiing about, you can mine on any pool with this miner

Mr. Claymore,

we are still waiting for AEON support.

and we want mine any coin exists, so could you remove address prefix check please?

Claymore, is there any space left for optimizing your miner ?

there is any update to it that allows you to run better in virtualized systems?

has some way to add "M" command from the command line?

Your command line works for me (miner connects to mine.moneropool.com:3333), except the wallet address is invalid because it contains a space.

Claymore... can I ask for your help addressing this "Cannot Connect" error shown below?  I assume my command line is fine because I used the exact same one on my other PC and it connected fine.  I read your readme file thoroughly but didnt see any mention of this error in there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Patiently awaiting an update to this and the GPU miner

Just made another strange discovery... tried running that exact same .bat file on my other PC (windows 7 Ultimate vs Pro is main difference, other than being much older than my mining rig).  Even though i repeated the exact same Admin/permissions procedure that worked on my mining rig, I can't seem to get permission to run as admin on this personal PC. BUT... when I launched not as Admin, it started in slow mode and actually connected to moneropool and was pulling 200 H/s (30% faster than MinerGate and in slow mode!).  So, assuming I can get the permissions fixed to run in fast mode, I will be good on this PC, but now even more baffled as to why this won't work on my mining rig running the exact same code!  Is it possible that the port 3333 is causing an issue since that is what Claymore GPU miner uses?  But, I have all other miners shut down when trying to get CPU miner working, so doesn't seem that is it... plus I have not heard anyone say you cannot use Claymore's GPU & CPU miners concurrently, so assuming you can.

So, given that this problem does not seem to have to do with the content of my bat file, does anyone have any suggestions of what to check to resolve the connection error?

OK... so, I was able to fix the Run as Admin issue by setting the .exe file to run as Admin by default in the advanced properties.  Then when I run the .bat file, the window pops up and starts running.

2 things to note is that it indeed said Fast Mode Enabled, and "scfg: 1" showed up where it was 0 previously.  So, that piece seems to be go to go, but I am still getting that "failed to connect" error.

Can anyone help with this?  I even recreated my .bat file again from scratch to make sure I had copied in everything correctly, but it still did not work. Here it is again in case someone notices something that is off.  Also note that i have NOT changed anything in any other file in the Claymore folder (like the the pools.txt file). Maybe I am supposed to?

Any advice would be highly appreciated as I am eager to get this thing running.

Useless comment. The fact is that the vast majority of miners are doing GPU only, so of course it makes sense for Claymore to concentrate on updating his GPU miners as a relative very high priority over CPU. Just look at the number of pages of this thread (15) vs the 337 on his GPU dual miner thread and that should give you an idea.

Hello everyone... I have been using Claymore's dual GPU miner to mine ETH the past few weeks and really like it! Great HR improvement over the MinerGate that I was previously using briefly while I learned more about mining.

So, now I decided to start using Claymore's CPU miner, as I have 2 PC's that can make use of this.  I downloaded to file, got it past my anti-virus and proceeded with config by adding my Monero wallet address and my choice of pool (moneropool.com).  However, once I try to launch the .bat file, the command window only briefly appears then disappears.

I am on Windows 7 Pro x64, running an i7-6800k on a ASRock x99 extreme4 Mobo.

Here is what I did so far:

1- Modified .bat file by only replacing placeholder Monero Wallet Address with mine and adding in the "o-" for my pool. My .bat file now looks like this:

NsCpuCNMiner64.exe -o stratum+tcp://mine.moneropool.com:3333 -u 46shm7maKo9Ev35kJiAoW6ZsWSxGWkNeuBrfgcN49g9KKWQe7yE513SGRiqsdea1uG9T1xFDFH3inMS G7hrKW2oMHGrTDez -p x

2- First i tried just running the .bat file, but got the error saying that RAM needed to be cleared and program needed to be Run as Admin the first time.

3- Rebooted machine, right-clicked on pool64bit.bat file and selected "Run as Admin". This is where I get the command window  popping up briefly but then it disappears.  I suspect this might have to do with the fact that I am running only the .bat file as Admin but it of course launches the .exe (I guess not as Admin?).  Not sure how to do this so that it also launches the .exe as Admin.  I tried doing that outright but it of course does not work since the parameters needed come from the .bat file.

4- I launched the .bat file again (after another reboot) just regular, not as Admin.  The same RAM/Admin error message came up but this time I let it run and start in slow mode.  But, even that seems to not be working. This is what the log shows:

So, my first question is, how can I get this to run as Admin the first time? 

Secondly, is the "can't connect" error above a separate problem? If so, what is likely the issue there?

I thought this would be easy since Im already using Claymore Dual GPU miner, but once again, I feel like a clueless rookie lol.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!

Russian provider was block mega.nz

Mega is working as of right now. Please refer to my earlier post for directions on recovering a file that has been marked as malicious using google chrome. Unfortunately, some work is going to be required on your part to get it running because a few unethical individuals have been installing Claymore's software without the knowledge or consent of others, which has led to the software being flagged as malware.
