@Claymore

Saw this today in my log file:

08:38:29:239   4304   checked ETH share on CPU, spent 4ms
08:38:48:975   43b8   checked ETH share on CPU, spent 3ms
08:39:09:055   43c0   checked ETH share on CPU, spent 3ms

Don`t think that is normal.

Nothing to worry about, this is totally normal.
Look back through your old logs, (use grep for example), and you'll see it's a regular event in the log.
Mr Claymore would be the only person who can explain why he's programmed this, but no doubt there is a logical reason.

Side note: Generally, (assuming the programmer is not a total moron), log entries will have some prefix, or suffix, "warning", "error", "OK", "good" etc etc, which makes life easier when searching logs for problem events, or notable events you might like to check on.

Conversely, if you don't see such annotations, and the log entry is not self explanatory, you can generally ignore such entries. (as in they are not things you need to worry about).

And No, it's not a virus either.

Thanks for your reply iSuX. I was just wondering why is there CPU share

Thanks iSuX. I checked old logs and see that this event is in all of them. I never noticed it before. I was experiencing system instability yesterday, checked the log, saw this event, assumed it was a virus, ran virus scanner, removed viruses, and system went back to stable. IDK how I got a virus, but thanks for pointing out that it's not related to the cpu share.

Like Snake, I would appreciate an explanation from Claymore for why the program is checking for eth shares on the CPU. Maybe it's checking for a virus mining on the cpu?

@androstan1234
Bummer man, what virus was it you had?

It was called coin-bitminer or something like that. First time this has happened to me in almost 10 months of mining. IDK how it happened. Maybe related to windows 1803 update since that's the only thing that's changed. But I updated both of my rigs, and both use the same router (really a 4G LTE hotspot). Only one caught the virus.

On the subject of Virus, sigh, if you take 2 milliseconds to think about that, and you can probably assume a virus is unlikely to have your best intentions to heart, ergo, it's going to do something you'd rather not have happen, well, it's hardly likely to have the moronic goal of hacking the claymore binary to make it mine with the CPU or advertise itself, by writing it's own log entries.
Hahahaha.

I mean, people make stupid viruses, and stupid, lazy, and/or inattentive people fall for them. I figured, maybe someone found a way to force claymore software to mine on cpu and send shares to their wallet, thinking that a tiny amount of mining on a cpu would go unnoticed. A side effect could be that the claymore software dutifully reports and logs whatever is going on. If enough rigs get infected, all those tiny amounts could add up to a decent chunk of free money.

No worries.
I wondered the very same thing when I first saw those entries, but I don't think that means there was a CPU share as such. The CPU is not doing any mining computations in this Claymore, (note the subject header, "GPU miner". My guess was, Claymore has the CPU check the share was delivered, or check summed or against the pool.
Purely a guess though, as I said, Mr Claymore would be the only person who can explain what his intentions are with this, so I could be totally wrong with that guess.

What I can say, is those have been in logs since at least V11.2, although there is no mention of them in the readme or history.

hi , i have 100% rejected for xvg
what I am doing wrong

Are you sure about your ETH address?
That looks malformed to me.

There should not be a /3 in that string.

Update: looking at this some more, I don't recall "C=" or in fact that kind of method is being used by Mr Claymore.
Note his syntax is a space and minus to indicate the next parameter, and I don't recall "C" in the documentation, nor the employment of the =.

I could be wrong though, where did you get that config from?

Ahh ok, sorry, are you meaning your password is actually c=XVG?

That's a cheap hack I guess, kind of bizarre though, as the pool should do that via the address or the port.

Anyway, some things to think about.
Good luck.

I'm using windows 10 version 1803 and nvidia driver 397.64. My vgas all are gtx 1070.

I'm stuck with this error....everytime I start the mining...in about 5 minutes or less I got these messages. I already lowered the OC via MSI and tried with no OC at all, but no luck.
These are the messages:

After these error, there is notification on windows that say : "Display driver failed to start;using microsoft basic display driver instead; check windows update for newer display driver"
I check it and all are updated
what's the problem?

This looks like an Nvidia driver crash.
I'm not mining with Nvidia, but if you look back through your log, you will probably see (prior to this), Claymore is querying the GPU temperatures, and is expecting an ACK, I expect your log will show something like a GPU number, followed by temperature value, and possibly fan speed.

What you see here is a failure to read out that data, and as that is coming via the Nvidia driver, and looking at the following entries, that would support the theory the driver has unloaded or crashedout.

Some things to try.

Remove all your GPU except 1.
Download DDU,

http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Boot Win10 to safemode, (CTRL+SHIFT+restart), select troubleshoot, advanced, (sad that ms see that as advanced, lol), startup options, and on restart, numeric key 4 will enable safemode boot.
Run DDU, default options, it will remove your Nvida display drivers, reboot to windows, and install Nvidia.

Select a custom install, and install only the display driver, (you can skip audio, and experience for example), Less crap to worry about if things don't run with stability later.

After install, reboot, and run claymore, (single GPU), and see if that works.

BTW: Windows will fallback on the basic display driver, and in cases where it does not know of, (have installed), the vendors driver.
Because you are seeing this happen, AND you clearly DO HAVE the Nvidia driver installed, (otherwise Claymore would bombout early init), then I suspect you have a corrupt install, reg entry somewhere.

It's a weird one though, usually windows doesn't gracefully unload a peripheral driver if it's being used, and you'll get some kind of BSOD.

Interesting situation, please feedback how you get on.
Good luck with it too btw.
Cheers

That's what happened to me yesterday. I had a virus. A windows virus scan detected and removed it.
