Claymore, what about updating monitor manger ? I selected Siacoin for Second Coin but it's all red anyway.

I'd like to run pool+eth, solo+sia. Do I need to run the SIA gui on every rig to solo mine SIA?

anyone have some good settings to mine SIA only , I tried dcri 500 and it crashed my rig

Mining Pool Hub
Please implement stratum connection for Siacoin.

As you already know, there's no stratum protocol for Siacoin yet. Fortunately, Siacoin's mining protocol is quite similar as Ethereum, many things can be adapted.
"Nicehash compatible stratum" or "stratum-mining-proxy from coinotron" style would be good.
(I prefer Nicehash version because it locks down minernonce for each miners and it would be compatible for rental service later. coinotron style stratum is also good.)


As current work polling mining method harms pool server and client performance much,
it would be much better when stratum protocol is implemented.

MiningPoolHub will implement pool side when stratum enabled miner is released.

Thanks.

v5.1:

- fixed issue with crash in Ethereum solo mode.
- fixed issue in Linux version when http server does not respond.
- increased timeout to detect bad pool state when no jobs are received for a long time.
- added FAQ section to Readme.

Confirm - solo with sia works fine. -ttdcr is amaizing. Thanks a lot, Claymore!

Upd: Sia mined perfectly, but solo Eth all shares rejected (tested on Shift - my hash power is a bit tiny for Eth or Expanse). Node log is clear - nothing about blocks mined, submitted works and exported blocks only. Switch pool mode for now(

USB 3.0 is a standard. That's one reason why people prefer the USB risers.
You may be surprised, but those "USB" risers have nothing common with USB 3.0 standard as well as with USB at all. The only common is that they use USB 3.0 connectors and USB 3.0 cables (more pins and wires comparing to USB 2.0 and below). They only extend PCI-e wires using high-quality cables normally used for USB 3.0. Also due to limited number of wires in USB cable they do not supply 3.3 PCI-e voltage to GPU and need 5V separate power apart from 12V (both supplied with Molex connector).

So I would not expect that even cables from different "USB" riser manufacturers will work swapped (even if they should work being pin to pin wired).


That's good to know. I would have expected it to be more of a standardized configuration.

I don't really imagine that buying one riser because it is a white cable is the best way to go about it. I imagine we need to figure out the manufacturer?  Or at least the vendor that is selling it to make sure we get the right vendor since they're likely to source from the same place every time?

I have tried several types of risers (USB3 only) and the best (ie. works 100%) is the one with white cable USB3.
I use them for my 390s, Nanos and 480s - so far no issues.
I have tried some with black USB3 cable and out of 10 cables, 2 defects.
You may get lucky with a good batch.
Just sharing my own experience and save you some trouble (and white hair)  Grin

Thanks for the clearup Smiley Anyone with experience with those USB risers with blue cables?

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/PCI-e-X1-TO-X16-Adapter-PCIe-1X-TO-16X-risers-card-with-1m-USB3-0/32614044969.html?spm=2114.30010308.3.122.lUDoYl&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_10,searchweb201602_5_10017_405_404_407_406_10040,searchweb201603_7&btsid=8abc1a8d-e054-43fd-94dd-9f97c801e506

The color of the cable doesn't matter. It's just a color.  It may help identify some from a bad batch, but I'd rather investigate the supplier. Look at the info on the circuit board etc.
@Citronick might want to try connecting some different cables to see if it was a flaw in the cable or with the card.

As far as USB PCI-e risers go you can use any USB cable you want. We can easily buy USB cables here (Or even make your own.) What most of us can't do is make the 1x to 16x riser card that the cable connects too.  This makes it possible to add longer cables as well.

USB 3.0 is a standard. That's one reason why people prefer the USB risers.

Why it crashed everytime while DAG's generating in ETH SOLO\SIA Pool mode ? Can't make it work on two of my Farm.

I have the same issue as qqqq. Solo Eth + pool Sia. Miner crashes on DAG applying. Pool + pool works fine. No positive results when turn off onboard VGA. Serialization useless too (-gser parameter). Win 7 ultimate, 8G RAM, 16G swap, environment variables set as necessary. SDK 2.2. Crimson 15.12. Cards are 280x.

Hi!
Is some way to mix Sia and Decres pools in dpools.txt? Cannot find answer...
Thank you!

No.

ver 5.0 can't work even with ETH\DCR mode which is working in previous versions (v4.7 v4.5), just copied the .bat

Code:
DUAL MINING MODE ENABLED: ETHEREUM+DECRED
ETH: HTTP SOLO mode
Ethereum HTTP requests time (-etht) is set to 200 ms
Watchdog enabled
Remote management is enabled on port 3333

Setting DAG epoch #62...
 DCR: Stratum - connecting to 'dcr.pool.mn' <136.243.50.159> port 4800

And than it crashed.

ETH-only mode was not changed at all in v5.0.

Hey Claymore,

I'm trying to get my rigs under a sleep schedule as my electricity provider is charging extra $$ during peak hours of the day (for summer months).  So, I've got a couple scripts that run using the Task Scheduler on Windows.  I need to be able to close the miner before it sleeps the rig, so that when the task to wake the rig up and start the miner executes later, I won't have >1 instance of the miner running.  I've tried the following:

Code:
C:\Users\Miner>taskkill /IM EthDcrMiner64.exe
ERROR: The process "EthDcrMiner64.exe" with PID 7216 could not be terminated.
Reason: This process can only be terminated forcefully (with /F option).

...which made me do this:
Code:
C:\Users\Miner>taskkill /IM EthDcrMiner64.exe /F
ERROR: The process "EthDcrMiner64.exe" with PID 7216 could not be terminated.
Reason: Access is denied.

Can you tell me a good way to gracefully exit your miner via cmd?

Bump!  Can anyone help me out here?

taskkill /F /IM EthDcrMiner64.exe /T >nul
Used to work for me.. And try using "runas /user:administrator C:\data\mybatchfile.bat"

EDIT: BTW are you trying to close the BAT file window itself with miner started in it? Wink

Here it is the whole BAT file of mine:
Code:
@echo off

if %num% == 0  (
set num=1
goto start )
if %num% == 1 (

There's some neat stuff like random start of mining eth or clones, timeout after rebooting and rotating mining of the alt coins after given period.. Wink

EDIT: Forgot to add EXP row.

Any idea why this happens every time after several minutes of opened app? Is the huge number of rigs a problem (350)? I have to kill process with Task Manager every time. Other groups with less rigs don't have this problem..


Wait.. 350 Rigs ?   Shocked

Real question is not how many rigs, it's how many GPU's. I can turn my (1) 6 gpu rig, into a (6) rig but with 1 gpu each =).

For all we know, it could be 2 gpu per rig, or 1 gpu per rig, but regardless anyway, even if that's 1 gpu per rig, that is minimum 350 gpu's, still awesome. Best case scenario, 2100 gpu's, super awesome.

lol
Real question is: is it crashing because of 350 units Smiley
And it's 3-6 gpu setup.
And I was posting on a behalf of friend of mine, those are not mine...

The app crashes in approx 2hrs after started. Other groups with 50 rigs for example are working fine..
