Hi Claymore,

Thanks for the great miner!

I have a number of rigs with 380x cards, one with a mix of 380 and 380x and a "new" one with one ASUS STRIX-RX480-O8G-GAMING and one ASUS DUAL-RX480-O4G. They all run Ubuntu 14.04.4, except for the new one that runs Ubuntu 16.04.1

The rigs with the 380x and the 380/380x cards run smoothly since day 1, but the "new" one has the following problems:
1. The two cards cannot work together. ethdcrminer64 just crashes at random intervals. The situation is even worse under Windows 10: the system just reboots... I don't even get a decent BSOD. My solution is to run (under Ubuntu) two instances of the miner, one for very card.
2. The hashing speed goes up and down. The RX480 with 4GB hashes between 15MH/s and 21.5MH/s and the RX480 with 8GB hashes between 17MH/s and 25MH/s
3. I get LOTS of system errors. By lots, I mean 100GB of kernel and syslog messages in a couple of hours. I've disabled syslog and set -dbg -1, but still... I'm pasting a few dmesg messages below

Is there any way to specify difficulty in dual mining? like lbry static difficulty setting?
Thank you

Difficulty means share target? Pool sets it.

Command tar failed with return code 0 and error message
Like in previous version... What does it mean?

I copied History.txt from Windows machine to Linux and Linux changed its time for some reason to future. Have no idea why it happend since other files have correct timestamp and original History.txt has correct time. May be another Linux "feature". You have to wait a day until it work, or change time on your system, or disable time checking in "tar" somehow.

Claymore, is there any workaround for gtx 1080 (372.90 / win 10) and not getting 5 Mhs ?

Yes, Windows 10 Anniversary + latest drivers wddm 2.1.

Claymore my miner thread hangs frequently, and it wont restart. I mean when remote-connect to the machine and on the miner window press down arrow "miner thread hanged, restarting" message pops up, but untill I do so, the machine just stays in freeze mode for 4 - 6 hours causing me significant loss. I need to keep checking on machines almost regular. I have set the miner to restart every 60 minutes with -r 60 but nothing happens. I'm using Ver 7.1 of your miner on RX 470's, 16.9.2 drivers on Win 10.

I'll try to reproduce it, PM me the complete log file.

The temp monitor will work in linux right ? if it is overheat it will stop the gpu

Yes it must work in Linux+gpupro drivers. All features must work except fan management.

Which generation riser/cable?

I saw that with the narrow first generation ones. But haven't seen it with the wider ones with 3 capacitors.

Hi Claymore, I changed from V7.1 to 7.2 and used the new low intensity dag creation and it works great. I can overclock my undervolted 390's a bit more and it starts up ok!

But I have the same problem now with the program hanging with the "miner thread hanged, restarting" dialog box that requires clicking to proceed.

Edit: It doesn't happen every time there is a problem and the miner restarts, sometimes it restarts OK. OS is Windows 10, Eth/SC

The dialog box says...

"EthDcrMiner64.exe has stopped working" A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.   > Close program <

The last few lines in the log file were...

@claymore

thanks for v7.2 Smiley

---------------------

i have always a little problem, not with claymore maybe with psu !?
my rig have 6 gpu, 4 x RX470 and 2 x R9 Fury.

if i use 6 gpu with claymore, after 5 min my rig shutdown, reboot ...
before when i have try the first time, the rig shutdown immediatly when it load dag.

i have search and read, i have change my config with gpu-psu :
gpu 0 r9 alone
gpu 1 & 2 rx together
gpu 3 & 4 rx together
gpu 5 r9 alone

my psu is lepa p1700m platinium.

what i can do ?

ps : i run with 5 gpu with claymore and 1 with ethos, no problem it's stable.

Dual mining ETH+DCR
ETH=19 mh/s
DCR=197 mh/s

if i only DCR mining = 1750 mh/s

INCREASE DECRED INTENSITY--

You can increase the intensity for your secondary coin with the "dcri" flag.  I have mine set at "dcri 75", more than twice the default value of "dcri 30".  This will more than double your hash rate for Decred (DCR), and have little effect on your Ethereum (ETH) hash rate.  The cards from nVidia are very good for this, my 980ti gets a hash rate over 500MH/s on SiaCoin (SC).       --scryptr

Tried different settings, double mining not profitable.
The main ethereum power strongly falls. On SIA twice

Hey Bro,
Depending upon your cards you will have to find the best setting of dcri flag. Start low (20 or something like that ) and use "+" key to slowly increase until the ether mining starts to fall more than 5%. If you want keep an eye on power consumption. In certain situations dual mining may not be profitable more as your power consumption increases / AC power needed to keep mining cool increases / more downtime because of throttling after some time of mining etc. So just find your Efficiency (max) on the curve and then use that setting thereafter.
Single:
ETH=19
DCR=1750

Dual:
ETH=17
DCR=210

It is better to get something one

Is there any way to specify difficulty in dual mining? like lbry static difficulty setting? (sgminer code /sgminer -a lbry -o stratum+tcp://lbry.suprnova.cc:6256 -u suprnova.1 -p d=16 -I 21 -g 4 -w 256  allows d= " " setting for that. It will be great to add it in dual miner too. )
Thank you

Claymore, you could fix the issue when using NVIDIA GPUs without fans (watercooling, server-grade GPUs, etc.):

Ok, I see, you mean not to show messages. Ok, I will hide messages so they will appear in log file only.

Claymore, any idea what the following might be?

Faulty GPU, or Riser?
Thanks in advance, if you have a XMR address I'll buy you an untraceable beer^^

Probably riser if you don't overclock GPUs. Due to dev fee you already buy me a beer when you use my miner Smiley
Riser or.. power cable.. I have GPU error very often and.. finally I realized that plug was slightly melted...

v7.2:

- added "-lidag" option to reduce intensity of DAG generation, it can help with OC or weak PSU.
- added temperature/fan monitoring for Linux version for gpu-pro drivers. Only monitoring is supported currently, not management.
- "r" key reloads pools from epools.txt and dpools.txt in runtime.
- fixed issue with wrong detection of card names.
- systems with up to 32 GPUs are supported now (with some minor limitations).
- Linux version: fixed issue with closing miner with "Ctrl-C".
- several minor improvements and bug fixes.
- EthMan: added "total online miners" and "total working gpus" info.
- EthMan: added color and font size options for the list of miners.

Is that faster than V4.4 for the R9 390 or the 280x?

@Claymore
I have some questions
I use your miner for solo mining. When I solo mine 7.0 version rigs find more block then 7.1. Because of this I turned back to 7.0. I think something is wrong with 7.1 for solo mining and also if there is an issue, I don't know it still exists in 7.2 too. I use geth windows for etc. I run it from a different pc from the rigs in lan.
Is it possible to put an option for GTX 1070 cards to disable fan speed monitoring from miner?
I have RX 470 and GTX 1070 but I still don't know Which ''-etha'' option must I use for my card. If you write optimized cards or slow cards, I will be glad.
My last question is about ''-etht'' Would you put more explanation about it?  There aren't too much things and option in read me and mining forum communities. Because of this I need your help to use all the options for full optimization.

1. I did not change anything in speed. If you think that v7.0 works faster - use it. Because I cannot fix issue that does not exist.
2. You can only disable entire monitoring with "-tt 0".
3. Try all "-etha" values and see hashrates, then select the best for your card. It will not take much time. "-etha" is applied for AMD cards only.
4. In solo mode miner doesn't use stratum. So miner sometimes connects to geth and asks for current job. Default value is good for local network. Original ethminer has same option called "--farm-recheck".

I'm still on version 6.4
It has been stable for weeks now, so I don't see any reason why I should change.
Unless there is some mining speed improvement  Grin
That was not the case with version 7.0, and a lot of folks felt that.
@Claymore, have made any improvements to the mining code?
PS: I run RX 480s

No. When I do it, I will mention it in "History.txt".
