Hello Claymore. Thank for your great work on this miner what help`s us a lot.
But i would like to ask some very important features as from my view.

1) Summer heat come and we have almost not any options to lover gpu usage, with new drivers we have almost no any options to lover gpu frequency- and some of my cards get to 85+ at the middle of the day heat( i set lover voltage, lover freq, max fans, set additional power funs,bios mods). It would be very good if you could add option to make lower gpu usage - something similar -insensitivity as we have in old cgminer. And it will be perfect to lover -insensitivity on any card from our choice as often we have 1-2 GPU overheat from 4.

2) On some of my rigs as i look at msi afterburner i see gpu usage drop to 0% periodically(on some to 50%), think it is not good for GPU, and as i remember on your past miners you make what gpu was full load without drops. If it is possible to make it will be good.

As old miner if i will see this 2 point in your miner you could be patient what without no doubt i chose your miner.

Best regards from russian miners community.  

1. Ok I will add an option for that, but note that less GPU load will reduce mining speed.
2. I don't see such things (except if you specify low -ethi, for example, "-ethi 1"), but sometimes it can be for primary GPU because it is also used by Windows. Or may be you have some hardware problems. You can ask here if someone has similar problems.

1. It is ok.
2. I noticed what only on my 380(tonga) rigs no matter what -ethi  i set .

For dual mining, is is possible to add an option to specify the amount of hashpower devoted to each coin?  For example what if I wanted to devote 70% to ETH and the remaining 30% to DCR?

The latest version of Awesome Miner improves the support for Ethereum mining by connecting to the API of Claymore's Dual Ethereum+Decred Miner.

Awesome Miner can monitor multiple miners and provide notifications, fault recovery, custom triggers and actions, SSH and scripting.

There is a guide about Ethereum mining with Awesome Miner on the web site:
http://www.awesomeminer.com/guide/ethereum.aspx

Screenshot of Awesome Miner monitoring the mining of Ethereum and Decred:



Please note that all statistics and operations that Awesome Miner can display and perform are currently not available with Ethereum mining.
Happy mining!


Wow this software just made Claymore 10x more awesome!!   I love this.  Is there a way you can have the status show all GPU temperature rather than just the hottest and you have to click to see it?  Also maybe add a feature so we can change the nickname of each Miner vs remembering IP address.  Last but not least why does it constantly show disconnected and reconnected?  In short, this software is super EASY to use and so awesome!!  Now I can see all my miners on 1 screen!

Hey claymore. First i want to say that ur miner is great  Grin . I'm sorry in advance in case this was asked a million times but i couldnt read the whole post.
First;Its there a chance that the dual miner can work with other coins that are more profitable than decred?. Example; Expanse or shift or can u add that option in the future?
Second question, maybe in the future can we buy ur miner for a a period of time (lets says 30 days) instead of a devfee? I dont like that the miner switch very often and that creates a drop in the hashrate.
Third question, what is the bat config example to dual mine in nicehash?
Thanks.  Cool

1. You can mine expanse, read Readme ("Ethereum forks mining" string). For dual mode as a second coin you can mine Decred only.
2. No, I don't sell miners. Also I think switching one time per an hour is not very often.
3. You can mine ETH on nicehash, but not DCR because they have own stratum for DCR that I not implemented yet.

new release working great on nicehash so far.. I couldnt get it to work by using the config file at all. ended up just making a new shortcut with the command line you provided in the example.. If you use the config file it will say incorrect btc address and it never fully connects to nicehash.

For failover, use "epools.txt" as described in "FAILOVER" section of Readme. Do not put failover pools to "config.dat" or to command line.

Thanks for clearing me up on that.. I have been doing it wrong this whole time id guess.. thanks again

Hello Claymore,
I've tried to use your v4.6 miner with a local nicehash pool setup. Though it is working basically, there are problems like a drop in average hashrate comparing to pool metrics and lots of stale, rejected shares. Do you have any idea why is it so?

I have no ideas, need to see the log.

Hello Claymore. Having an issue with trying execute reboot.bat file in you manager. I'm getting red message in miner "File reboot.bat not found" and miner just closing. How to resolve this problem? reboot.bat at the same folder where miner is located. Experiencing this issue since you add this option in miner, but found time only now.

P.S. In future maybe it is possible to add in manager function Wake on Lan + option do it automatically (in case power loss in electrical lines and computer didn't restart for some reason after power restore) .

Miner gets path to its .exe, then appends "reboot.bat" string, then tries to open that file for reading. If failed, it shows that message. It works for me and right now I have no idea how to reproduce this issue, it must work. You can ask if someone else have same issue, right now you are the first person who sees it.


Ok. True. It's working. Problem was in double *.bat in file name + file extension. "reboot.bat.bat". Thx for reply)

Add please on\off sound notification ? You don't have sound off button while warning notification in tray needs to be working.

To disable sound, you can remove text in the textbox for filename.

Thanks, but check box or button would be nice anyway in next release.

Thanks for the new release!
I had an issue in Windows 10 Home 64bit, where the 15.12 Drivers do not allow overclocking, either via the miner application, Afterburner, etc.
Windows 7, no issue.
Is this due to the drivers being too old for Windows 10?
I ran a single 390 on Windows 10 with latest drivers hotfix, zero issues overclocked and stable, but the moment I added a second card, BSOD and had to recover to safe mode, roll back drivers, then it worked but no overclocking or even fan control.
And should I install AMD APP SDK v3.0 or similar?
Anything other than the primary video drivers?  It's a mining only rig now.

-ttdcr   reduce Decred intensity automatically if GPU temperature is above specified value. For example, "-ttdcr 80" reduces Decred intensity if GPU temperature is above 80C.
   You can see current Decred intensity coefficients in detailed statistics ("s" key). So if you set "-dcr 50" but Decred intensity coefficient is 20% it means that GPU currently mines DCR at "-dcri 10".
   You can also specify values for every card, for example "-ttdcr 80,85,80". You also should specify non-zero value for "-tt" option to enable this option.
   NOTE: Check "KNOWN ISSUES" section. GPU indexes in temperature control sometimes don't match GPU indexes in mining!

I didn't find specification of option -dcr. Could you explain this option, or is a mistake in the description?

Fixed, it must be "-dcri 50" instead of "-dcr 50".
