hello All !!!!
i`m new in here
so ... my question is :
what miner shuld i use right now in this date 07.01.2021
i`ve readed that there are some problems with clymore or something like this some Scam/hack something like this


tonight i`ll put my rig all together (luky that i`ve bought gpu`s last month so prices were acceptable)
pls any suggestion or idea or anything is welcomed 



It depends on what you intend on mining. Most people mining ETH are using lolminer, team red miner or Phoenix miner.

I use a pickaxe Cheesy

You have to say if you are AMD or NVIDIA

If you want to continue using only claymore straps and rxboost, you can use this bat file

You just have to download PStools from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/pssuspend
just adjust the runforseconds to pause after claymore has added straps and rxboost

Code:
@echo off
echo -------------------------------------------------------------------
echo Simple script to use Claymores rxboost And straps By DrX
echo -------------------------------------------------------------------
echo:
set executable=EthDcrMiner64.exe
set executable2= MINER.EXE
set commandline= -dbg -1 -mport -0 -benchmark 1 -strap 1 -rxboost 1
set commandline2= MINER COMMANDS
set runforseconds=20
set restartinseconds=10
set /a counter=0
timeout %restartinseconds%
set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
set GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
set GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
:start
start "Miner Window" %executable% %commandline%
echo:
echo The software will run for %runforseconds% seconds
timeout %runforseconds%
pssuspend.exe %executable%
start "Miner Window" %executable2% %commandline2%
pause

DrX thanks thats a much better solution than running code from unknown source.  Like i said i dont run Claymore anymore but for those that simply cant let go...this is the best solution ive seen for both earnings for the miner and for security of their rigs.


Thank You !

I also have a small .BAT on my side here it is, I modified the configuration of claymore, it starts up first, loads the configuration rxboost 1, straps 2 etc .. then then runs in a loop, does not detect any GPU , it relaunches reloads the configuration,


I chose this type of configuration because sometimes the gpu crashes after X days, relaunches the gpu without optimizations

In my claymore configuration file, I have the minimum

Code:
@echo off
Echo Run Claymore Straps
start /D Claymore "Claymore" cmd /k "start.bat"
Echo Pause 30sec
timeout /t 30 /nobreak
Echo Run Power Mining
start /MAX /D PhoenixMiner "Mining" cmd /k "start_miner.bat & exit"
Echo Done

Phoenix miner too is now working with 4GB (similar to lolminer) I run it on linux with my old 4GB cards.


no it isn't on windows. Out of memory, 4.02 gbytes allocation...

In Windows lolMiner is working, and you have the bat file to use It... The speed each Epoch will get reduced in All miners but you are still able to mine ETH with 4Gb in Windows

no, it isn't  

Done (3533 ms), size of new DAG: 4104 MByte
-------------------------------------------------------
GPU 0: insufficient memory for DAG epoch 385.

no matter what is set in --4g-alloc-size no effect.

Tried to mine, but always getting
13:08:12:540   1288   Setting DAG epoch #385 for GPU0
13:08:12:540   1288   Create GPU buffer for GPU0
13:08:12:548   1288   CUDA error - cannot allocate big buffer for DAG. Check readme.txt for possible solutions.

4GB video ram, 8 gb ram, 32 gb virtual memory isnt enough?

I'll give that a try.  Thank you.

Yes, I know this thread is outdated, but I'm trying to find a workaround.  I'm mining an altcoin that uses the ethash algo on a 1050TI.  This is NOT for profit, but for speculative mining on a new altcoin that can be mined on a 4GB card.  I get a 14% speed bump on this miner initially over other miners I've used, until it realizes it cannot connect for the dev fee, then it throttles.  Since the actual eth pools cannot be connected to post merge, is there a way to keep Claymore from throttling?

Use T-Rex miner with --mt 2 and you get much more hashrate. It is absolutly senseless to use a such outdated and without any support now.

Seems to me I had trouble with PhoenixMiner with my card in the past, but maybe I messed up (very possible).  I'll try it again.  Thanks for the tip.

Bummer, I already knew about the -nofee 1.  Unfortunately, that switch slows it down to about the same speed as T-Rex 14.9Mh vs. 17.2Mh.  Lolminer & miniZ were both slower still.  Oh well, it was worth a try.  I hadn't used Claymore in years, but recently re-discovered it on one of my old backups.

PhoenixMiner can use the Claymore settings AFAIK.

Yes you can do this. According to the readme

Quote
-nofee   set "1" to cancel my developer fee at all. In this mode some optimizations are disabled so mining speed will be slower by about 3%.
   By enabling this mode, I will lose 100% of my earnings, you will lose only about 2% of your earnings.
   So you have a choice: "fastest miner" or "completely free miner but a bit slower".
   If you want both "fastest" and "completely free" you should find some other miner that meets your requirements, just don't use this miner instead of claiming that I need
   to cancel/reduce developer fee, saying that 1% developer fee is too much for this miner and so on.

You need to add -nofee 1 and it'll mine a little slower but it won't stop when it comes time to connect to his dev pool, which cannot connect and fails.

I had this issue also with many alt-coins. However my issue was that when I mined some alt it would keep switching the DAG back and forth and eventually it crashed after a few hours. Only way to go around it was with -nofee 1.

If it uses ethash you have a few options PhoenixMiner, TeamBlackMiner, lolMiner, Gminer, T-Rex and maybe a few more.

Now the money is free, and so the people will be
I hope Claymore is ok.  I do believe he cleansed his online presence as much as possible before going dark.  We all have the right to be forgotten, but its hard.  He's rich as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck though

No need to bump this thread anymore. It’s been years since Claymore was active here and his disappears is almost as questionable as Satoshis.

He was making amazing income on his software but stopped doing updates. The updates were all simple but he just let the miner be incompatible up to a certain block and lost his market share for being the largest ETH software.

No one knows what happened to him. Some people followed his mined ETH fees and there was some movement a year ago or a so, so maybe he is on some island somewhere enjoying his profits.

MEGA download link isn't working. Please update.
This thread is dead and and OP hasn't logged-in since November 12, 2019.
If you found other direct links to Claymore Ethereum GPU Miner, that's most likely a malware.
Thanks for the info bro. It is kinda confusing to start mining for beginner like me.
