I have done quite a lot of research but haven't found a resolution to this problem - hopefully someone can help me on this.
Mining rig:
3 x MSI RX 580 8 GB cards (not Armor/Sapphire etc) - has single 8 pin power connector, single fan, no BIOS switch
Windows 10
SSD with 4 GB RAM
Installed Claymore version 10 Dual miner - Ethereum mining running well and stable but issue is that I cannot get Decred to authorize
Getting:
Socket was closed remotely (by pool)
DCR: Job timeout, disconnect, retry in 20 sec...
Start.bat command:
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0x31be6e3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~98c6.miner2 -dpool dcr.suprnova.cc:3252 -dwal myloginname.miner1 -dpsw 2222 -allpools 1
Troubleshooting:
- I have changed the password for the worker to match Claymore (x, 2222, other) - unable to leave the password blank for the worker
- verified Suprnova login (though there is an "x" in the active column?)
- attempted both weblogin name as well as email address used for profile
- added port 3252 in Windows firewall for both incoming and outgoing connections
- added miner to router's DMZ
- tried with/without stratum+tcp
- attempted -dpool dcr.suprnova.cc:3252 -dwal suprnova.1 -dpsw x -allpools 1 as detailed on suprnova's website
- though I can't recall which other decred pools I used but all got the same error
Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
Try to change "miner1" to your "worker name" and write "-dpsw x" command too.
Appreciations here (ETH) 0x57137Aecf8d11b60522d53eD2b0Baf0215FD0b61
Suprnova already has "miner1" as a worker name - and have tried -dpsw x and with specific password as well - no change
Okay but your worker real name is miner1? Or another? You should put the real worker name on start.bat and in supernova, however try to "update worker" on dcr.suprnova.cc account settings and keep the "-dpsw x" command. Of course you must write the "-epsw x" command before "-dpool" command on start.bat
No dice.
Here is the updated start.bat:
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0x31be6e3~~~~~~~~~8998c6.miner2 -epsw x -dcoin dcr -dpool dcr.suprnova.cc:3252 -dwal webloginname.worker1 -dpsw x -allpools 1
My "webloginname" of course matches the username I use for Suprnova and although I previously used Miner1 as my worker name, I changed to worker1/worker2 (intend to run both rigs) but still running into same error as in original post.
What's especially frustrating is that is says that I'm connected to Suprnova but then the pool disconnects me. Is there anything within Suprnova I need to do other than register an account and create a worker? There is an "x" in the Active column when looking at my configured workers - or is this just a reflection that they're not connecting?
Note - I tried this on another rig - same issues.
Try to write "webloginname.webloginname" or "miner1.miner1" or "worker1.worker1" (or the name you had choosen for your worker) on start.bat and update your worker on account settings. "-dcoin dcr" isn't necessary. You also can create a new worker. The X means your worker isn't active
Still no dice but here's an update...I've used the bat file as provided by NumbNuts above this last post (thanks for that by the way!!!) and got the same issue...so maybe this is a network issue?
I tried "weblogin.weblogin" and I also tried some BS entry after -dwal and got the exact same error. I couldn't use worker.worker as I would need to create a new Suprnova profile unless I misunderstood your suggestion above.
Have you added the environmental variables to the start.bat file as well? So what I've done in the start.bat (in full):
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal 0x31be6~~~~~~~~~~~~~~8998c6.miner2 -epsw x -dpool dcr.suprnova.cc:3252 -dwal cd$$$ner.cd$$$ner -dpsw x
I should say that Ether is mining just fine. I can let Claymore run as is all night and Ether will continue to mine with Decred erroring.
Any AV / firewall / router things I should be looking for? Keep in mind I've added port 3252 to Windows Firewall, disabled Windows Firewall, added rig to router DMZ and disabled AV - all to no avail.
Did you create a Decred Wallet first? You must put it in account settings (Details/Payment Address). Try another version of Claymore, v9.6 or 9.8 and tell me. It shouldn't be the miner but try all options. Try to put 8GB RAM too. Do you select 16GB or more for Virtual Memory?. Reset the ports configuration, Windows firewall ask you for open ports when you try another version of Claymore, so don't need to select it manually. At the end you must create a new worker, add on dcr.suprnova.cc and write the command again on start.bat but this time choose the same worker name than your webloging name (the name of my worker is the same than the webloging)
