KNOWN ISSUES

- Weak/old cards like 7xxx/270/270X cannot handle dual mining properly, Ethereum mining is slower by about 10-15%.
- There is 1-3% performance issue for some 270/270x and Fury cards. It will be fixed soon.


So what about the 280 and the 280X? Do these also take a Ethereum performance hit?

Also, out of curiosity, concerning the fee: how does the fee work out if I'm dual mining on only some of m cards?

Thanks!

I have observed similar results over 24hr+.  Invalid shares have dropped to nearly 0, where 1-3% was typical with ethminer (any variant).  And, total submitted shares have definitely increased.

Watching GPU usage %, with claymore they stay at 100% almost all the time.  With genoil or web3 ethminer, there are constant dips to 0%.

Not to mention this miner seems way more stable and consistent.

I do get stupidly high DCR rejects tho (10%+), no matter what difficulty I use.  Hoping the next version with stratum support will improve that.

I couldn't have said it better myself,  I was in the process of tinkering with DCR via SGminer meanwhile mining ETH in hopes of benefiting from additional revenue but with little success, when I stumbled upon what is an absolute thing of beauty.  Unfortunately, I also observed a large number of rejected shares for DCR via Coinmine as well as Suprnova no matter the difficulty so if anyone can resolve the matter, this miner would otherwise be incredibly close to perfection.  I managed to reach ~37 MH/s for Ethereum and ~560 for DCR on an MSI 390x which is quite impressive.  I'm currently running on 15.7.1 and was wondering if 15.12 would yield any further performance improvements.  

Keep up the great work, you most certainly have something to show for it!

Testing on 4 280x @1050/1500
dcri 25

After 2 hours :
~79.5M on ETH + ~990M on DCR
0 rejected on ETH, ~14% rejected on DCR

~100w more at wall ( 1035w )

With official ETH miner, i'm at ~81-82M

See more after night.

yup pretty stable here, my rig with 1400+ valid shares and only 1 invalid.

the only problem here is this miner coming out pretty late  Cheesy

I got about your results but Claymore said to me on the last page that i have to compare the pool results not the console reading. Right now I started two identical rigs in the very same time one with qtminer and one with claymore's miner  on qtminer mode.

The bottom one is the clyamore's

I need at least 24 hours to make any conclusion but it looks promising now.

Can you keep us posted on your 24H results?

Ok, about 5 hours now:

My experience:
1x Power Color R9 280X @ 950/1250
2x Sapphire R9 279 @ 920/1400

Genoil v1.0.3 - 47MH/s stable hash. Dwarfpool via Proxy.
Claymore v1.2 (ETH+DCR on 280x, 2x270 ETH only, DCR intensity 14) - 45.2MH/s ETH, 137MH/s DCR. Dwarfpool Stratum and Suprnova DCR pools.

137MH/s on DCR according to calc brings about 0.14 DCR/day or 0.2USD.

My conclusion is not seeing a point of using Claymore miner in this setup, considering lost hash on ETH and dev fee (which I have absolutely nothing against).

It doesn't work... all 3 cards mine ETH and DCR:



My option actualy work:
-mode 1-12 -mode 0-0

You are right, I misread the OP.

i have 4x r7 370 and 1x 7850

how i can mine dual mode for 4x 370 and only dcr for 7850 ?

"-mode" option now can be set for every card individually.

Ex: -mode 0,0,0,0,1

No! Read OP:

-mode   Select mining mode:
   "-mode 0" (default) means Ethereum+Decred mining mode.
   "-mode 1" means Ethereum-only mining mode. You can set this mode for every card individually, for example, "-mode 1-02" will set mode "1" for first and third GPUs (#0 and #2).



So if I understand correctly... I have 3 cards in my rig:
GPU 0: 280X
GPU 1: 270
GPU 2: 270

If I want to mine ETH+DCR only with GPU 0 and ETH with all 3 cards my bat should be:

-mode 1-12 -mode 0-0

Correct?

Thanks!

More like
-mode 0,1,1

meaning: -mode 0(Eth+Dcr on GPU 0),1(Eth on GPU1),1(Eth on GPU2)

It doesn't work... all 3 cards mine ETH and DCR:

As I understand it now, there is no need to specify if a card will do -mode 0. Only specify which cards will be doing -mode 1 the way Claymore just explained. So in your case -mode 1-12, correct.

By default, for all cards -mode is 0. So you need to specify only cards with mode 1. So it always will look like -mode 1-012.
Here "1" means set mode "1" for cards "012", i.e. for first, second and third cards. No commas, just cards numbers like in "-di" parameter.
Examples:
Want to enable mode "1" for first card? Use "-mode 1-0".
Want to enable mode "1" for second card? Use "-mode 1-1".
Want to enable mode "1" for third card? Use "-mode 1-2".
Want to enable mode "1" for second and third card? Use "-mode 1-12".
Want to enable mode "1" for first and third card? Use "-mode 1-02".
All other (non-specified) cards will use mode 0.

I really don't know how to explain it more.

ok and if the card can't mine eth but only dcr ?

You have to use some different miner if you want to mine DCR only.

There is no way to mine Decred only. Either eth+dcr (mode 0), or eth (mode 1).
