ETH profitability falls but, other coins follow ETH, another diffbomb makes profitability less on all coins, as I noticed. so for now I don't see any alternative.
I wonder, which coin is going to replace ETH when it comes to electricity cost.

It's a very good question but I think that when ETH changes to PoS it will be more expensive coin too, so ETH will be still profitable, only hold and wait.

today was my final day of Eth mining

started probing other altcoins
GL & HF

Before doing that I tried to split my 6-GPU rig (3 and 3) and mine eth and zec on parallel. I'll see which is more profitable in a givenperiod of time.
Another good option might be eth classic.
Or there are guys who are looking for some altcoins that are completely unknown and start mining them waiting for a pump

I'm sure of that but nobody wants to tell it. I know there are calculators but they are not reliable, I prefer to heed the experience of the people.

Hallo everyone!

I have a really really strange bug with my rig. Probably it is a matter of Claymore

I've got Palit jetstream 6gb x6pc in the rig. I'm running Claymore 10.0 to mine etherium only.

When the power in the AC goes down unexpectedly (for some external reasons) the rig reboots and when claymore starts from Windows autostart folder, one of the cards (GPU2) has "Dag file calc error" and hangs the system.

To figure out what GPU is the reason I made a separate start file for each GPU.

BUT! It does not happen if the rig is restarted by any software or reset button or hardware watch dog. It only happenes when the AC power is unexpectedly down. I checked the riser - same result.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

And what coin do you think it's more profitable now? May be EXP or UBQ? XMR?

There are a lot of mining profitability calculators on the net, just google for them. whattomine for example. Set your card settings and electricity costs, press calculate button and get the info

Maybe this has been asked before but here it goes, how do I stop Windows 10 pro to update, Its draving me crazy.

If you install Ubuntu 16.04 it will completely eliminate all those irritating Windows 10 pro updates.

Ya, and get you countless other headaches and limitations and power draw.

Go into network settings and set as a metered connection. It is intended to be used for mobile connections with data caps, updates will not download.

Is it possible to specify a lbc in dpools.txt?
If i put -dcoin lbc in config.txt it is ok, but i ask how to specify in dpools.txt.

Same question about "-dcri"...

I need help.

1.

I have 2 computers mining ether for the same wallet, worker names: eth1 and ethpc. ethpc

but it seems that on the ethermine page, it only shows 1 worker despite having different names for both computers' miner.

strangely, the reported hashrate comes from ethpc. hashrates from the eth1 miner does not show up.

2. before I started the miner ethpc, ethermine occasionally shows 2 workers (default and eth1) when there is only 1 pc mining ether. after 3-5mins, it shows 1 worker and the worker name displayed is either eth1 or default.

Hey Guys,

i only registred to tell you something about the mhz stuck problem after connection lost by pool. I tried to find out that problem since the blockchain driver released.
finally its a pleasure for me to share my result with you guys.

the problem was the edited bios! i had to change to the default bios and after it the problem was solved! no stuck anymore after a reconnect to the pool!!!!! to overclock the mem clock and undervolt the the gpu just use the claymore miner only! (it could also work with a software like msi afterburner but not tested it at this time)

my gpu (asus dual rx 480 4g) now works fine at 30,3 mh/s with 2150mhz memclock and 1150 mhz coreclock!

i hope i could help you out with that problem.

greetings,

Naltorius

ps. sorry for my bad english

if u want to give me some credit:

GPU-Z only shows the actual power draw of the GPU core. There is some lost in VRMs, memory system, PCIE interface, fans, and system PSU.

If you have cards with proper VRM monitoring available(like polaris nitro+ or refs) you can actually see the memory part consumption in HWiNFO64 and adding up core and vrm parts and ~40W for a system makes it pretty close to the actual consumption from the wall. (not sure what to make of it, but there's no missing ~10W per card for fans or something)

I'm running v10 and the overclocking and voltage control are pretty great features, but they need some more work.
I have a very strange problem. Most of the time, when I power on the rig and start Claymore, the cards appear to be clocked to the correct frequencies set in the .bat file, but they mine with the hashrate of stock clocks. I have to stop Claymore and start it again for the cards to mine properly. For example, at stock speeds (1265/1750mhz) they mine with 24mh and at 1100/2050 they mine with 29mh. On the first run, gpu-z shows 1100/2050 clocks but the cards mine at 24mh. When I restart Claymore, the cards are at 1100/2050 again but they mine with 29mh. Also, sometimes the voltages don't change accordingly, so every time I have to check the voltages with gpu-z, to see if everything is correct and this kinda blows the idea of having a fast way to restart a miner and have him up and running in no time. I know other people that have the same problems. Hope that this gets fixed soon, since this automatic overclocking from Claymore is an extremely helpful and easy way to overclock.

I need to know Windows version, GPU model and drivers version to be able to reproduce this issue.

Good day Mister Claymore!

I had the same problem like ivanpop, the problem is related to restoring settings of downvolting and overclocking due to power loss of system. I'm using settings -cclock -mclock -cvddc -mvddc, and they work perfectly, but in case of power loss, after autoloading of miner, all videocards have stock speeds. If I restart miner, everything go back to normal.

Windows ver: Win 10 Pro
GPU model: Sapphire RX 580 Nitro+ 8GB (Hynix memory)
Driver version: 9.14.10.01293 Beta (Win10-64Bit-Crimson-ReLive-Beta-Blockchain-Workloads-Aug23)

I'm not programmer, but i think mabye it's somehow connected with text logs, wich are collecting data about work of miner, because in case of power loss there are no any entries about "closing" of miner

I'm having the same exact problem too. Testing with a couple of Rx 580s Gaming X 4gb with Elpida memory. Stock clocks are 1380/1750 and stock hashrate is 25 Mh/s. Upon bootup, GPU-Z reports the updated OC settings of 1140/2025, voltage of 900 working properly but hashing stock hashrates.

After closing and relaunching of Claymore miner v10, cards hashes as expected 30.1 and 30.2.

Can anyone comment on the power consumption for the RX580 cards. I have two rigs each has 6 RX580 and both are dual mining ETH+LBC (Eth: 176 Mh/s + LBC: 510 Mh/s). Each rig consumes about 1020 Watts reading from the wall-meter while GPU-Z reads less than 130 Watts for each card. I think they should all be around 6*130 + 70(system) ~ 850 Watts total. My setting (-cclock 1150 + -mclock 2100 -cvddc 870 -mvddc 870)

The power usage shown in GPU-Z is for the card VGA power connectors. You also need to add 40-50W for each riser. 1000-1100 W is about right for a six card RX 580 rig when dual mining.

The risers themselves do NOT use anywhere close to even 40W. The power load for risers is negligible even with six of them. It's the GPUs themselves that are using the power.

I don't think the power sensors in GPUs are all that accurate anyway plus they fluctuate so wildly.

I have switched all my RX BIOSes to Anorak's powersave versions. I lose about 3-5% hash rate but it saves almost that much in power and reduces heat output and wear on the cards.

When I see 6 GPUs consuming over 1000W and then I look at an Antminer that can produce 4x more revenue on 1200W I wonder why I'm even bothering with GPUs...

You are wrong. powered risers use between 40W - 50 W each, which is NOT reported in GPU-Z. This is easy to verify in a dual PSU setup like I have where all the risers are connected to the same PSU as the motherboard and the secondary PSU only powers the tops of the cards.

The risers don't use energy itself. it just feed the GPU just like a PCI-E slot. Memory energy consumption is missing on GPU-z that is why is higher on the wall.

I think the power consumption drawn from the PCIE slot is missing from the GPUZ.

GPU-Z only shows the actual power draw of the GPU core. There is some lost in VRMs, memory system, PCIE interface, fans, and system PSU. At the wall is around 60w higher than what is shown in GPU-Z, with a 80+ Plat PSU.
