What about ETH solo/Siacoin solo ?

You should test it by your own. I haven't sufficient powers unfortunately.

Are you serious ? How i can test Siacoin solo if it even not implemented. Waiting for block will never be found or accepted. Re-read my msg. Right now Siacoin solo is not supported as i see in ver. description.

Sia solo is supported. Check readme "SAMPLE USAGE" section:

...
 ethpool, ethermine  (and Siacoin solo):
...

I solved three blocks when I tested v5.0. However, right now Siacoin diff is too high to test solo easily.

If you have the Reference R9 290 you need to use the Stilt Bios because it will run like crap without it.

Search this forum for those bioses.



is that applicable to the reference sapphire 290 as well?

Im buyng some Gpus for my new rig.

Did r290x have much more power than r9 290?

Or same thing for mining?
I picked 3 x 290s a couple months ago, at stock settings I hash about 25 MH. I expect a 290x you might see 28... have to weigh the cost up front. I got mine for 179.00 each.

Now, mine are reference coolers... and sapphires, they suck! lol noisy and they run hot! but they have made me some money and perform good, do what I bought them for. Not sure if they make a dual fan 290x... but go with that if they do. Will be much quieter and cooler. Pull about 1000 watts on a 3 rig system. A cheap 1200 watt will suffice  Wink

Undervolt and you will save a ton of electricity, also you could overclock the core gpu and get more MH, they will hash up to 29 mh with a overclock.  290X is just a "factory" overclocked 290.

That is right. Undervolt will make the miner more efficient in terms of Watt/MH/s. I tried this on many GPUs.

FEATURES:

- Supports new "dual mining" mode: mining both Ethereum and Decred or Siacoin at the same time, with no impact on Ethereum mining speed. Ethereum-only mining mode is supported as well.
- Effective Ethereum mining speed is higher by 3-5% because of a completely different miner code - much less invalid and outdated shares, higher GPU load, optimized OpenCL code.
- No DAG files.
- Supports all Stratum versions for Ethereum: can be used directly without any proxies with all pools that support eth-proxy, qtminer or miner-proxy.
- Supports Ethereum solo mining.
- Supports both Http and Stratum for Decred.
- Supports failover.
- Displays detailed mining information and hashrate for every card.
- Supports remote monitoring and management.
- Supports GPU selection, built-in GPU overclocking features and temperature management.
- Supports Ethereum forks (Expanse, etc).
- Windows and Linux versions.

I don't see any solo for second coins. Tell me where i'm wrong?

Correct no official solo for second coins

Try -dcri 500 to basically solo mine SC

Ya I did undervolt some to cool them down a bit, but seemed to throw more stale shares and efficiency seem to falter. However I didn't really play with that all that much and relate the memory clocks too.

I should add, they only ran real hot with claymore lol, normal eth miner was ok, but hotter than dual fan gpu's. But corrected that with -ttdcr mod in command line.

Actually I may go back and tinker with undervolting, my electric bill kills me!  Shocked

Is there a list of API commands that can be used to control a miner remotely? I would like to increment DCRI with the "+" key as if I was manually interacting with with terminal (CMD) window
As I already wrote you, you can update whole config and restart the miner remotely (Claymore suggested to use wireshark to catch JSON requests/responses for API requests). But I believe there is no way to change -dcri remotely without restarting the miner. It might be done for you if you ask him nicely Smiley

With a WIN7 PC running just GETH and Claymore,
why is there several hundred megabytes of disk space consumed every day?


If you point miner on geth than logs (-dbg 0 or -dbg 1 parameter) grow quick enough (about 3-4 Mb/hour). The 2nd disk hungry monster is blockchain database (try to look in c:\users\(your user)\appdata\ethereum).

Logs can be swith off (RTFM is a right habbit)))), but blockchain db should be kept. You cannot mine solo otherwise.

Thanks, so I will run Claymore with -dbg 1  parameter to stop logs

If I don't want to mine solo I can delete c:\users\(your user)\appdata\ethereum?


Yes, -dbg -1 turns logs off. Readme!!! (in the miner's package) describes all the things quite good even for my crank/scrappy English))

If you delete this directory you will loose control over your local Eth address(-es) (subfolder keystore needs to backup at least). The one more reason - you will be unable to make any outcoming transaction via geth or Mist (gui shell of geth, by the way).

Read something about cloud storages, VPS'es or maybe NAS (network area storage). Or buy one more HDD or flash. Used hardware has moderate (or even cheap) cost.

ok, we got er done!~ lol

went with -ttdcr 75 before the espw

it is keeping 290's at 79-80c much better than 83-85  Cool same with 7970's and 380s

Eth side hashing even higher now ( because I think cards are cooler ) but I am seeing a lower hash on Sia, avg. with connected miners has fallen off about 250MH.

So it works! after things cool down I expect all hash to be normal.  Smiley

I am by mining eth + sc 4 r9 280x
more here speed of 275 mhs each r9 280x this normal?


On this site each r9 280x 850mhs

You are comparing a dual miner to a single coin miner, there's a big difference.

Edit: For example, when I single mined SIA with my (6) rx480 underclocked, it was about 4400mhs total, so about 733mhs each underclocked. But if I dual coin mine eth+sia, my SIA was only about 300mhs each if i remembered. SIA is based on the GPU, not the memory, so it was generating too much heat for me in my garage, so I just stuck with eth only, since it's memory intensive and doesn't generate that much heat as SIA mining.

From my experience, memory intensive mining does not generate that much heat as gpu core intensive mining.

Guess I was looking at the password x after -ethi 4 instead of: epsw x -ethi 4

ok, that's the way mine is set  Smiley

Setting up mine, I had to tweak various miner rigs and suddenly they wouldn't run right... and go back and see a missed - or a space lol

Yea I dont know what it could be, runs fine with just ETH mining.. I have reinstalled drivers and everything still nothing.

Also, yesterday I had a rig that kept crashing maybe after a few hours or so... kinda random. So I swapped out a hard drive and struggled to get past the dag updates on that one. Finally it occurred to me on the first hard drive (which had been working fine with just eth miner) that I had not gone back and reset the virtual memory too 16GB. After doing that my original hard drive has been working fine with no crashes since upping the VM.

Ok, just another thought lol
Hey I see that, not how I was doing it. Will try that!
THX


FIX MY PROBLEM NOW LOL
lol, Ill keep think'n!  Grin
