In your opinion it doesn't matter if I hit a block or not? Then try to mine with your rigs off.
Good point, it doesnt matter if ur rig is running during devfee or is turned off, chances to find block for urself stay the same. So u have all 23 hours and 45 minutes a day for ur own mining and rest of the time is not yours. U give it away for a shovel.

Every known stratum version is now supported directly at eth.cncoin.farm. Claymore's miner supported using -esm 0 1 or 2 Smiley. Can I get more people testing to verify it works ok for you?

Note: Pool fee will go to 1% after we hit the next block and it pays out.

You quote my comment but what you write is not related with what you have quoted. Please read carefully before looking down on my education.

I'll try to explain my point once more: Losing shares in the 1-2% of pooled mining time is no big deal because the abundance of shares evens out. Losing 1-2% in solo mining can be a big deal because of the variance, unless you have a high hashrate that evens out your average. If the difficulty doesn't change at the end it will even out. Perfect. But difficulty is rising always. So probability is not the only thing that matters. Also if you mine solo, you are hashing blocks, and dev is hashing shares in his time. It is not as simple as it looks.

You're right, I'm quoting only the last post, because I don't like messages with whole conversation quotes. Yes, it would be more efficient from my side to just add @malandante at the beginning of the post. I was not looking down on Your education, I just asked You to repeat something - repetition is mother of study. The advice was in a way of You gaining something. Knowledge, higher hash rate, more ether... You got it wrong.

Over time, If you solo mine 100 blocks, 1 block will be missed due to the dev fee on average. If your on the pool your hashrate will be shown 1% less on average.
Yes, and if one has higher hashrate for the remaining 99%, then on the long run one will have more blocks found, say, not 100 but 105. Minus 1.05 lost blocks due to DevFee (1%), and still 103.95 blocks found on average.

Sorry, but your wrong. Probability is all that matters, and regardless what you think or see in the short term does not matter, so your point is not valid. Regardless of whether your solo or pool mining, the def fee wont change hard math. Over time, If you solo mine 100 blocks, 1 block will be missed due to the dev fee on average. If your on the pool your hashrate will be shown 1% less on average.

I'm not trying to antagonize anyone or going against dev and his awesome work. I'm using the miner and I'm ok with the fee. I just express my opinions as everybody else.

Of course it takes time to recover after NOT finding a block. The number of blocks that you find with your hashrate is an average, sometimes you hit blocks faster and sometimes slower. The more hashrate, the less variance. That's why slush invented pool mining, to reduce the variance. You get a smaller chunk of the reward but more often. With my 300 mh/s I should find a block every 1.54 days in average. If I miss a block because my rigs are off my chances of finding a block again are exactly the same but remember I will find in average. Time keeps running but blocks don't come, so average decreases. In your opinion it doesn't matter if I hit a block or not? Then try to mine with your rigs off.
 

You should repeat school exams about probability.
If You flip coin on head doesn't mean that in next flip chances to get head are lower. Therefore, if You hit block during devfee period, this doesn't changes probability of hitting blocks the rest of the time. As all other said, chances of hitting solo blocks are lower exactly for the percentage (1-2%) of time mining for dev.

If u find a block, it doesnt mean that for some time your odds are lower. U dont gather up the work to get sometimes paid or have to be 100% online to hit the right moment, the probability of findinga a block is still the same whether u did find one minute ago or not. So devfee does nothing but lowers ur effective hashrate. But of course its hard to believe if u see the hit in "wrong" time with your own eyes.

Other then checking Geth main account balance, or monitoring your wallet address. Any other way to see you found a block? will anything show on the console or a Geth command that may show blocks solves or possible solves?

Set up an account at etherscan, add the addresses you want to monitor and have it email you when the balance changes on your mining address.

I love the new remote monitoring!

Bug reports:

- Even if you define -etha 0 in the config file, it complains for me on startup that I should be specifying -etha 0  (3 x 390s)
- I can't get the monitoring to work on any port other than the default. Have tried several without luck.

Neither have a massive impact, but thought you'd like to know. Thanks for a nice program.


I've been able to get Remote Manager to work on other ports...

Claymore is there any reported working miningrigrentals configs?  I read almost every post and while there is talk i dont think i saw any actually working.  Anyone have a working one and if so would you be kind as to post that file?  Thanks!  Killer miner Claymore, been using it for quite some time on 80 380 4gb GPU's.

This is what I have, I am sure I am missing something:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx CL_DEVICE_MAX_MEM_ALLOC_SIZE 2147483648

"C:\Program Files\Dual Ethereum+Decred AMD GPU Miner v4.2\EthDcrMiner64.exe" -epool us-central01.miningrigrentals.com:3333 -ewal login.info -epsw x -esm 1 -allpools 1 -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:2252 -dwal logininfo.miner -dpsw password

So it "logs on" to miningrigrentals and starts to hash but it never shows that it is hashing on my account info there.  I think I am just mining for them.  Also I might be on crack, but I can mine decred for me while I am renting it right?


Is this string needed "setx CL_DEVICE_MAX_MEM_ALLOC_SIZE 2147483648" - this is new to me ....

Btw, have you consulted the MRR admins for help?

Yeah they say talk to Claymore basically.  They have no idea.

On the string, i'm not sure, I had it before so i left it.  Safe to remove?

For older 4gb cards, the first 5 setx command and v15.12 catalyst drivers are recommended.

Set up two identical rigs, one with the latest catalyst drivers and one with the recommended v15.12, it would seem after 24 hrs that the v15.12 drivers are outperforming the latest drivers.

Cards are R9 Nano's.

..is this the expected result?

Yep read the first post he tells you to use 15.12

I have run both 15.12 and the latest drivers on 5 rigs, all running R9 295x2 cards. Some with 2 cards (4 GPUs) and other with 1 card (2 GPU's) Have been running for a few days on each driver version using CMD. I don't see any hash difference in the local stats or the pool. No crashes and have rigs 5% OC's.

I think the 15.12 drivers work better for older cards, not that I have any to test that but just a theory. Anyway, no difference for me on 295X2 cards.

    I set default clock (but downvolt -50)
    Decrease dcri to 30
    set ETH mod only

It would be cool to have ping in remote manager Smiley
Anyway, thank you for it.
Made a small PHP thing for myself Wink


If miner is not available, it becomes red. Why do you need ping?

Is that little util you use available for download.  That would be great to have open on my desktop while working.

And by the way, I wouldn't use CDM to solo mine. When you solo mine, you don't want 36 or 72 seconds per hour not mining for yourself because in this time it can be when you're gonna hit a block. If you are pool mining then it is ok because shares you will be hitting a lot anyway. I'll give you an example: a few months ago when I was still solo mining, I was gonna stop one of my rigs and in the time between hitting CTRL and C this rig found one block.

Your logic is incorrect. Miner will send 1% or 2% of mining time anyway - pool or solo modes. Probability to find the block in solo mining when miner is busy in devfee mining is the same 1% or 2%.
So check your math again.

You're right in the probability thing. What I mean is that unless you have a huge hashrate and are solo finding blocks all the time, the situation is not like in pool mining. I miss a share in devfee time when pool mining and I don't care because it will even out in no time. I miss a block in solo mining and it will take ages to even out. And meanwhile the difficulty will be raising making the chance to even out smaller. Unless you have a huge hashrate, as I said. Please correct me if my thoughts are wrong.
Thats where you wrong, it takes no time to recover after finding a block, chances stay the same. Considering that, looks like u mind paying a fee.


citronic, thats what miner names are for. Like m1 2x290x, m2 6x370

I'm not trying to antagonize anyone or going against dev and his awesome work. I'm using the miner and I'm ok with the fee. I just express my opinions as everybody else.

Of course it takes time to recover after NOT finding a block. The number of blocks that you find with your hashrate is an average, sometimes you hit blocks faster and sometimes slower. The more hashrate, the less variance. That's why slush invented pool mining, to reduce the variance. You get a smaller chunk of the reward but more often. With my 300 mh/s I should find a block every 1.54 days in average. If I miss a block because my rigs are off my chances of finding a block again are exactly the same but remember I will find in average. Time keeps running but blocks don't come, so average decreases. In your opinion it doesn't matter if I hit a block or not? Then try to mine with your rigs off.
