Running claymore's miner (eth only) for 55 hours straight with 0 eth rejects. Loving this miner. Smiley 

i am getting rejects all the time ;(

i did delete DAG 2 times already but i am still getting rejects. any1 an idea why?

using following command

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -esm 1 -ewal 0xCcB701a1F4axxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.rig2 -epsw x

also tried us1 adress for stratum, but no changes

Currently I'm only mining Eth and want to test the dual mining feature.

What DCR pools exist where I don't need to signup?

Thanks

zpool.ca

just provide BTC address

Thanks! Smiley

I use dual ethereum+decred on COINOTRON+Suprnova. I'm testing with 1 R9 290 abount ETH 28mh/s and Decred 700mh/s.
In suprnova panel i read 650mh/s average.. and it's ok but in coinotron i read always 20-22 mh/s.. so far from 28 that i read on my miner.

I'm the only one? It's my problem?

Claymore 1.2 Beta - 194.8MH/s (Stable)
Claymore 3.2 Beta - 195.6MH/s (Crash after 1 day)

maybe this is why my comp freezes up...

Unlikely, the reason his rig freezes is likely due to excessive oc the latest version utilizes gpu more so previously stable clocks may no longer be stable.

it-s an open air rig. temp control and cc does not work as card will raise above temp secified and under the clock specified also. i am now also experiencing freezes... after a few hours like 5. the computer will freeze i asume this is due to high temp. i will try to raise fan speed to 100%

this is the card https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTgfA-4gkR-AAtI2JqYStf_R9WOBog7R4tQ23zYTTT345TuOLjp8Vw-4Pk


Xfx have notoriously bad heat sinks unfortunately Sad New thermal paste may help, probably best to try lowering both gpu and mem clocks and then undervolting first if you are unsure about replacing thermal paste. Sorry i don't have any r9 290 to know the best settings perhaps someone else can help with that also there are several methods described in previous pages to get underclocking/undervolting working with current drivers.

Hello. I recently got the r9 290 card and it doesnt seem to work to it's full potential. hashrate starts out great like 27 mh/s but it will drop to 21...after it heats up to 94c (which i read is normal for these cards). the miner will show irregular hashrate for this card only. my other r9 280x are all stable hashrates. this one will sometimes hit 23... 25... 21... 20.. should i change termal paste? change clock settings? get a big ass fan and point it at it? i have also had a bsod issue but i solved it by forcing constant voltage. thank you Smiley

okay, while trying to figure this out i've noticed in gpu-z that, unlike the r9 280x cards, the gpu core clock for the R9 290 is always moving. i noticed that i get a more stable hashrate after mining a bit (it probably adapts) but it's always around 700-800ish core clock. if i set it to the default gpu core clock value (through the miner file) around 940 i believe, or maybe i can even put it a bit higher, I should see a stable and higher hashrate. this is what i'll try tomorrow but i'd love to get an opinion from someone more experinced than me before i do it. all input is welcome. thank you.

The 290 is throttling due to temp, is the card in a case or open air rig?

i guess your r9 290 is a reference design, they have a switch that throttles fan speed and increase the fan speed in catalyst.

prepare your ears though  Grin that thing is louder than 10 280x combined LOL

ok, this helped a lote. temp is now around 86. i think this may fix the freezing issue, which was the worst part. still, should i change the thermal paste? I have never done that before... so I dont want to do it unless I have to or should! would that help? should i change core settings also now that the temp is lower? maybe higher gpu clock and lower memory? can anyone give me a specific value?

thank you for your help so far guys.

Is it possible to add option to restart miner after some ethereum shares rejected?
Today I found my miner works, but something wrong occuers with stratum. And all shares that miner found after that was rejected.

so whats the best pool so far for DCR ? i dont think i can handle the heat but i would like to test these modded nanos on DCR see if the heat is bareable

suprnova has a big DCR pool but I switch to zpool because no registration needed just put BTC address as payout

94c is NOT a normal temp!
Anything above 80 is risky in long term - you're reducing chips life

Add 120mm vent blowing to the card and/or open your case

Its not wise to mine with more than 1 gpu in a case even with side off or case fan, the top gpu will always be hotter due to heat rising from the card below it. If you have absolutely no other option then it is a must to have the side off the case and u can point a desk fan or the likes at the gpu. Also it would be wise to play with undervolting memory/gpu clocks to help reduce those temps as stated above 94c is bad for long term gpu health I would even consider 80c too high I like to keep my gpus 70c or below but 75c should probably be acceptable. Also did you try the -tt flag it will adjust the fanspeed to try maintain target temp ie -tt 75 will adjust the fan speed to try maintain 75c on the gpu.

ok decided to try suprnova for dcr

according to the calculator a r9 nano should do about 1700 mh/s of dcr but im only seeing 440mh/s or so

the funny thing is in dual mining mode my Eth mining has gone up around 5% from eth solo mining lol now im confused.

here are my settings
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool coinotron.com:3344 -ewal xxxx.113 -esm 2 -epsw x -allpools 1 -dpool http://dcr.suprnova.cc:9112 -dwal xxxx.113 -dpsw x -allpools 1


You should increase the dcr intensity, especially for nano. It is easy - just press + or - in the mining window to find Your sweet spot Wink
You can also set the -dcri parameter in the bat file.


well unfortunately dual mining comepllye killed my 7 nano box, now its in a crash dump loop windows 10, ill re-install tomrow and try again

i think youre right on the intensity, i could probbaly get close to 900 dcr and still get around 180mhs of eth with this miner assuming the box stays up next time.

I went from 173 mh/s solo mining with eth to 190mh/s and 3000 mh/s dcr 

I would be happy with 170 eth and 7500 or so dcr.

I also noticed a very slight increase in speed for eth when dual mining compared to just mining eth using r9 280x. 440mh/s sounds reasonable for dual mining my 280x get ~ 285mh/s each when dual mining.
