Maybe ignorant question, but how are the ASICs going to work? I thought the whole point of DAGs was to prevent ASICs. How do the ASICs fit the DAG file on their chips affordably?

Its not actually an ASIC, its FPGA board

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/fpga-ethereum-miner-2182826

Ethereum ASICs are about to be released onto the market, I hope that there's a fix to the algo to let GPU miners still continue mining.

We are pleased to announce the Antminer E3, world's most powerful and efficient EtHash ASIC miner. Ordering limit of one miner per user and not available in China. Limited stock, order here now.

As for now Ethash ASIC miner have no advantages to make GPU mining impossible. Hashes per watt are pretty the same. Hashrate is comparable to GPU farm. So today Ethereum authority decided NOT to emergency fork.
.. but you are missing something very important .. network hashrate .. when ASIC become available the network hasrate will spike .. as ASICs are very cheap ... so your profit will fall gravely

Oh. Guess it’s only for win10. Lame. Stupid not to have the same conditions for something like this between the win/Linux versions.

Guess I’m back to ethminer in ethos since it gets the same hashrate and it’s free...

How does the miner apply no dev fee to 3GB cards when it’s mixed with other cards in the system?

I have:
GTX 1060 3GB
GTX 1060 6GB
EthOS 1.3.1 (claymore 11.6)

How do I verify that no dev fee is being applied to the 3GB card?

I have a 5 x RX570 on spread across two rigs.  Since upgrading to 11.6, my GPUs randomly lose 10% of hashing power.  After a few minutes they return to normal.  They don't do it all at once, it's just a random one at random times.  I moved back down to 11.2 and the power loss disappears.  Anyone else have this issue?

11.6 Hashrate very stable in my rig, RX580, ethOS 1.3.1

What version Claymore's runs the best with AMD rx 570 and 580 8gb cards and what driver should I install?

11.6 works very well. I'm running with RX580 cards on ethOS 1.3.1.

is any XVG pool online?  Shocked
when we can continue to mine in dual XVG?

After many hours it seems that our pool has returned to synchronize entire blockchain, mining works again, we will see what happens now with the fork.

11.6 is no go for me, I tested it today and after 4 hours crashed a rig with four AMD GPUs, on another AMD rig 11.5 is up and running since days. Of course same settings, same OC, etc etc

Hello,

How can I set fixed fan speed on AMD cards with claymore? -tt 40 -fanmin -70 -fanmax 90 doesn't work? What am I doing wrong?


Do not forget to also set the parameter -tstop.

Hello,

You're trying to achieve a temperature that's impossible during mining, so your fan with -tt 40 will probably always work with full speed. Increase the temperature to somewhat like 80 and see then how it goes.

They don't ... they have DDR3 memory attached to the ASICs / FPGAs.  If you look on the Bitmain site, you can see that the device is a) twice the size of their other miners and b) is about the hash equivalent of 4x 580's.  If you consider the 800 watts of draw, it uses more Watts/MH than a rig with 4x 580s.  About the only attractive thing about it is the price ... $800.


180 Mhash/sec is at least 6 RX 470/480/570/580 even with BIOS straps and all other optimizations. (widely reported in the 28-30 Mhash range for best optimized cards, sometimes a bit less).
It's also a HAIR less than 6 x GTX 1070 (31-32 Mhash common numbers, rarely under 31).

Power usage is pretty much a tossup with a well-optimized 6 card rig - bit higher than the Nvidia option, right around the same vs the AMD option.

The size IS interesting, and has led to some speculation that it's somehow a GPU rig - but the PRICE makes it unlikely to be GPU based.


You're right of course.  I'm not sure why my brain settled on 4x when 180/30 is clearly 6x.  The only thing close to 4x would have been Vega64's.

Hello, i will throw this here, thanks in advance for your kindly answers.

Been mining for a while with 5x 1060 3GB on Win 10. Sometimes the driver crash, but i have been able to solve the issue by downclocking mem in one of the GPUs (i always check logs and find the problematic GPU). Im currently on 11.6 and the miner restarted. Since most of you are far more experienced than me, i will appreciate a possible troubleshooting.

Hi,

I apologize, I am newbie here.  I read and follow all the directions.
I am experience problems with 2 of my PCs, using Claymore Miner 11.6
I have a Nvidia Card.

First PC:  Windows 7 pro 64-bit
I got error message that "DCR: 0 pool specificed.
No AMD or Nvidia card found ..

Check if your GPU's are properly installed and has a correct driver, it should be detected by your system before firing up miners.

Quote
2nd PC:  Windows 10 pro 64-bit
This app cannot run on this PC.

I am testing on my older PC, I know it is not efficient.  I want to get to know at least the setup first.

any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks

Ensure that your Windows defender is not hampering the .exe file, exempt this and turn off the defender

Does anybody know or have idea what would work for when -tstop is reached and i would want to reboot entire miner?

I have the -r 1 to reboot and it works ok if a gpu fails but in this case when the gpu is just switched off the claymore will just stop mining having me to restart miner manually to get it going again.
