Just upgraded from 9.8.... Zero difference...
9.7 to 9.8 was also zero difference.
I am running 6x MSI RX 580 Gaming 8GB, and would love to know how I can increase the hashing Huh

Thanks much!

What have you tried? What have you done so far?

I've been using Claymore on an unstable system - trying to narrow down the errors to stabilize the system but it is still crashing. It has never mined for more than a day or so without crashing.

Now the console output gives zero indication of error, it just crashes or reboots after several hours or nearly immediately.

Z170A SLI PLUS
5 x gigabyte 1070
1200W EVGA platinum
win 8.1 64

Does it crash without mining activity? Did you try 1 card? Did you try default settings for everything?

@Claymore
The '-r -1' command line option is not working correctly in version 10; it still retries the initialization instead of closing.

I did not change anything related to "-r" option in v10.0, so the same issue must be in previous version too. Anyway, I will check it and fix in next update.

Thank you.

I am new to mining , thanks for software and all the help, I just have a problem. I am seeing the devfee show up in log but have not seen any transactions at this point. This maybe normal because of my low 13mh but like I said I am new. One more question I do not use as "worker ID" is it mandatory?

Some more information on your settings would be helpful, post your Claymore configuration (the .bat file and the config.txt file - if you use the config.txt file) and the pool you are using.

It depends on which pool you are using whether you need "worker" or not; if you mine directly to a wallet address then you, usually, don't need "worker" and some pools need "your_user_name.worker_name" in the command line.

EDIT:
e.g.

Mining on DwarfPool the configuration would be like this (no 'worker' needed)..

EthDcrMiner64 -epool eth-eu.dwarfpool.com:8008 -ewal 0xd7236c7bB066725C33DAE910A947aE40D565B66E -p x -esm 2 -epsw x -allpools 1 -allcoins 1 -ftime 10

Mining on MiningPoolHub the config is (username & worker required. No wallet address required - this is set in the pool web page)

EthDcrMiner64 -epool europe.ethash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:12020 -ewal your_username.WORKER -eworker your_username.WORKER -esm 2 -epsw x -allpools 1 -allcoins 1 -ftime 10

A 450 W PSU isn't enough for two cards when dual mining. With no undervolt and power limit settings, a RX 480 and R9 will pull over 200 W each.

Wow, i can´t believe that, the RX480 has an TDP from 150W, the Nano 175W. Perphaps i should mention that i run both cards with an reduced power target. The complete system needed in Ethereum only mode under 350W.

Is the power draw in dual mode really so much higher?

Yes. Depending on your power settings, the cards will use 30-50% more power when dual mining e.g. my RX 580 8GB card uses 101 W ETH only mining and 131 W dual mining with DCR, shown in GPU-Z + add another 45-50W for the riser.

Hi:

In my experience dual mining consume more power and stress more the GPUs, you could need to increase a little your voltage if you are undervolting around 875-925 mV, check the log file for the GPU that hangs, then add 10mV at first to the settings of that GPU, keep trying until you get no hangs for 24 hours, you could decrease you clocks too, I am guessing here that you are using a modded GPU.

If there is no hanging in the log file then it must be the power supply.

Good luck,

Carlos

Thank you, i tried already different voltage settings but always the same, the system crashes within seconds whenever the miner begin to mine 2 currencies .

What i have not tried yet, an older Claymore version, another driver and a test run with only one card.

Hi @ all,

i tried today Dual-Mining with Ethereum and Decred the first time. Unfortunantely crashing my system just seconds after I start the miner.
In the Ethereum only mode absolutely no problem - the system run days respectively weeks without any issues.

Any ideas? These rig runs with Windows 10, 2 AMD cards (RX 480/8GB & R9 Nano) and with 8GB RAM. The pagefile have already 16GB and the power supply provide 450W. The driver is the "special blockchain driver" from AMD.

Thank you in advance.

i cannot see any difference between this new release and previous release.
Same hashrate, but stability is the issue with new version. previous version can run up to 400 hours before i reset the rig.

config.txt is the miner configuration file. You can use it to set the miner parameters instead of specifying them in the command line or .bat file. epools.txt and dpools.txt are where you can specify failover pools in case the main pool go down. If the main pool specified in the configuration file goes down, the miner will switch to the other pools listed in epools.txt (for ETH) and dpools.txt (for the secondary coin when dual mining).

Thank you, but I know that, I am using them, that's why my question, I want to specify in these files settings for different workers as this files are synced across several Rigs through the cloud.

I found this on the README file: "You can also use environment variables in "epools.txt", "dpools.txt" and "config.txt" files. For example, define "WORKER" environment variable and use it as "%WORKER%" in config.txt or in epools.txt.", I want to know more about this, how to use this option.

Thx
