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

@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.

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.
Thank you claymore, you're the best. I only wished you would open source ethman so we can make it a lot better.

- added "-lidag" option to reduce intensity of DAG generation, it can help with OC or weak PSU.

Very useful option. Sometimes a few of my pc just freezes while DAG generation process. Especially one with (3xR9 290 2xR9 Nano).

I'm not using 7.1 because of wrong detection of card names but i guess 7.0 very stable right now. It mine for weeks without troubles.

in GTX 980
Dual mining ETH+DCR
ETH=19 mh/s
DCR=197 mh/s

if i only DCR mining = 1750 mh/s

With WireShark you can see JSON protocol details and create own even better tool in your favorite programming language. A few devs already did it, for example, there is app for Android.

another issue with Linux version, from few days it constantly switching SIA pools every 30-40minutes..
Windows version is ok, even if I revert rigs :S
Code:
SC: http error #28.
 SC: Failed to check work on pool, retry in 10 sec..

This error code means "operation timeout".
I can say again and again: don't use Linux if you can use Windows! Most problems are related not to miner but to Linux itself and I have to find workarounds all the time.

Hmm Windows is too expensive, and is unstable  if miner crash =windows crash and hard reset is necessary. If on linux fail = just kill the process
you can do the same on windows and it isn't to expensive since you can buy a POS tablet and use the product key from that, which you can get using slmgr or grab from the bios since they usually enable secure boot.

what is a POS tablet?

is it a known issue with rx 480 8gb  that it takes 60-90 seconds after showing "POOL/SOLO version" for the miner to proceed to DAG generation?
happens on all my 4 rigs with windows 7/windows 10
Try to press anykey when miner window in focus...

I tried that, it's not because console scrolling is stuck. It's something else. Seems very random sometimes.

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

Did you set the virtual memory to the size recommended in the readme?

Hello

Its possible that claymore bat send a email to me when miner stopped?

Thanks

You can execute .bat file in EthMan when miner stopped/disconnected/overheated or its hashrate is low. Probably you can send email from .bat.
Miner itself cannot send email, use pool for it.

It depends on CPU speed, GPU name and number of GPUs, OpenCL recompiles kernels when necessary (for some cards). In past it worked faster, but currently miner has a lot of GPU code. I will reduce this delay, it's in my todo list.

It takes a lot to build but not much to lose
i give up and hope someone can help me...

i have 8x nvidia gtx 1080.
windows 7, cause its not yet working under ubuntu 16.04

i have installed cuda but keep getting errors....
i added one image which shows everything i can show or what is needed.
Newest drivers are installed etc etc.




dude. Did you install windows 10 anniversary edition? My problems got solved with that.

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?

Probably riser if you don't overclock GPUs. Due to dev fee you already buy me a beer when you use my miner Smiley

-logfile 0 do not working at 7.1

Where did you find "-logfile 0" option value? It must be filename, not "0" or "1" (or do you want to name file as "0"?). From readme:

Quote
-logfile debug log file name. After restart, miner will append new log data to the same file. If you want to clear old log data, file name must contain "noappend" string.
   If missed, default file name will be used.

If you want to disable logging, use "-dbg -1".

I have flashed my bios and 4 out of my 5 cards are running at 29mh but 1 is running at 18. Is there an easy way of identifying which physical card it is using the Claymore mining app (which is awesome btw!!!)?

You can use -di command to activate just one card and see if that cards is working with the GPU usage in the MSI afterburner.
