Even with lowered ethi , my rig is crashing and cant boot after that, its like that from the last 3-4 versions ... When we calculate the time that it is chrased and not mining for hours, the profit from the decred mining cant cover the so many hours downtime ... So the problem is not the ethi setting, maybe you changed something with the optimizations ?

you have to look elsewhere for other problems..if the miner is stable with other users there must be something in your system that causes that crashing or hanging etc..

focusing on the main players here...

-gpu temp (fan failure, dried thermal paste)

-power supply issue (defective, not enough power, loose connection, burned and slightly burned connections)

-and other pc components...HDD bad sector, failing RAM, CPU overheating etc..

mining pushes these components to the limits, running 24/7 specially this summer (people in hotter climates here)

With ethminer system is working without PC restarting, using Dual Miner is heating up the cards more ? because it's dual mining ?
May be I missed if somebody already mentioned this?

Dual mining significantly increases the workload on your video cards, therefore they will generate a lot more heat.


 Sad
I will measure the temps with both miner and type here later.
Thank you for the info.

- My 5 card rig now working with ethminer.
Whenever I try with dual miner, during or after 2nd dag file generation PC restarts. I will place a fan tomorrow and retest.

which cards are you using btw?

claymore, i have 15.12 and my 2 x 280x on this new miner are mining aprox 11.6 mhs Sad

what to do?


Reboot.
Sometimes after start&stop miners several times cards got stuck into half-speed mode or whatever Smiley

Same here. My PC crashed several times. So I have to reduce the clock speed and the intensity again.

why is lowered ethi to 8? my miners was perfectly working on 16. even i have a slightly bigger hashrate with 16

Did they mine faster on v3.2?

it was 21-22 mhs per card on 3.2...

gimme 5 min to download 3.2 and start build dag with it... will get back with results asap

EDIT: same :/

270 8,9 mhs

2 x 280x 11mhs

i dont know what to do? :/

EDIT2:

in this rig i have 2 x 280x, and 2 x 270 ... on last miner no problems, 270 hashing 14 mhs and 280x hashing 21mhs

after i tried this new miner i got 11 mhs and 8 mhs

is it possible to specify cards by name?
it seems different order between msi afterburner and miner

The only one rig has this problem.

If I start it without "-allpools 1" option it can't connect to devfee pool and exits. If I start it with this option, then it starts, gets jobs but doesdidn't send the results back. I see in the log file:


Code:
12:29:25:775	a88	ETH: put share nonce c8fadd01420866c
12:29:25:775 a88 ETH round found 1 shares

DCR is working perfect here. The problem is only with ETH.

My start command is
Code:
EthDcrMiner64.exe -wd 1 -r 0 -epool eth-ru.dwarfpool.com:8008 -ewal 0xXXXXXX -epsw rig04 -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:2252 -dwal gagana.rig04 -eworker rig04 -dpsw x -allpools 1
 

What could it be?

1. -allpools is ignored for pools that support wallet addresses, like dwarfpool, ethpool, ethermine etc. So you can use -allpools 0 or 1 or remove it at all.
2. Just checked your command line (only set my wallet address) and it works, it finds ETH shares and pool accepts them.

Sorry, now I remember taht I added allpools 1 to dwarfpool in order to be sure that devfee is mined, can this be a problem?
Setting 1 when its not needed?

Where do you see that -allpools option for every pool defined?
If devfee cannot work on a pool, you won't be able to use this pool, miner will show warning and remove this pool from the list until you add "-allpools 1" option.
Its in the sample epools.txt
Quote
# POOL: eth-eu.dwarfpool.com:8008, WALLET: 0xD69af2A796A737A103F12d2f0BCC563a13900E6F , PSW: x, WORKER: r270x, ESM: 1, ALLPOOLS: 1
# POOL: us1.ethermine.org:4444, WALLET: 0xD69af2A796A737A103F12d2f0BCC563a13900E6F, PSW: x, WORKER: , ESM: 1, ALLPOOLS: 0
# POOL: coinotron.com:3344, WALLET: YourUserName.YourWorkerName, PSW: YourWorkerPass, WORKER: , ESM: 2, ALLPOOLS: 1

Default epools.txt is a bit different:

# POOL: eth-eu.dwarfpool.com:8008, WALLET: 0xD69af2A796A737A103F12d2f0BCC563a13900E6F, PSW: x, WORKER: , ESM: 0, ALLPOOLS: 0
# POOL: us1.ethermine.org:4444, WALLET: 0xD69af2A796A737A103F12d2f0BCC563a13900E6F, PSW: x, WORKER: , ESM: 1, ALLPOOLS: 0
# POOL: coinotron.com:3344, WALLET: YourUserName.YourWorkerName, PSW: YourWorkerPass, WORKER: , ESM: 2, ALLPOOLS: 1

So ALLPOOLS is 0 for most pools. It is required only for pools that use USERNAME.WORKER as login or as worker, miner will show warning and removes such pool from the list.

PS. I think everyone understands that "#" disables line as explained in readme. I did it because otherwise miner could switch to these pools and if you did not change credentials it will mine but not for you. At startup miner shows how many pools it accepted for ETH and DCR.

ver 3.3 is bad for machines with weak cpu/hdd
Many freezes when finished generating first dag, then starting next one and attempt to start mining.
Also I had several "crc dag fail" after normal miner restart.
I'm back to 3.2 - it is cool! But I miss failover option.
Can we disable crc check somehow? I had no problem with corrupted DAG's before with Claymore miner ...

I had problems with DAG on one of my test rigs after hard reboot. It sent wrong shares for a few hours before I noticed that something is wrong.
DAG file size was ok and it had correct signature at beginning, but it was corrupted. So I think checking CRC is necessary.
PM me some logs so I can check the details. I can postpone next DAG generation for a few minutes and/or reduce CPU load for it.
Anyway, v3.2 creates next DAG too, so you must see same freezes. The only difference is CRC check when DAG is loaded, but it must not take more than 2-4 seconds even on slow CPU.

I have the same problem. After generating the first DAG, the computer will crash. I may have to reduce the intensity or the clock frequency.

similar scenario here... my CPU is Celeron 1840 with 8 GB RAM, and 20GB windows virtual memory.

It "freezes" for awhile, about 3-4 seconds.... then mine as per normal... I guess it got passed the DAG tasks completed with just enough juice to start mining.

I don't get this freezing in my AMD 8-core CPU, 16GB system.
