Hey guys.  I'm new to this and was hoping to get some help.
I am using ethOS mining ETH with claymore and nanopool.

I'm trying to change the payout to nanopool but its asking for the email password.
I'm not sure how to put the email on either the local.conf or claymore stub file so I can finally change the payout.
Please can someone show me what to do?  Thanks in advance.

Huh Huh

help pls


Just a stab in the dark but for ETH 2GB cards no longer work.

but i run this program on other pc
there is some error code messages

Thats' BS, Vega will probably be around 750-800 USD.

I'm shooting at $400. if performance is lower than 1080 then $400 is the maximum it will cost.
RX580 is $400 nowdays... Smiley

RX580 MSRP is not $400 and if RXVega is over $700+ with lower than a regular 1080's performance it will be dead in the water.

I hope nobody bought GTX 1080's or GTX 1080 TI's for mining and resale on 2nd hand market.

Rumours are that RX Vega is going to be very cheap, like Ryzen CPUs.

Gaming performance above GTX 1080.

Not to mention Vega has some serious mining potential.  Today peak hash rate went to a new high for me of 52.2MH/second.  I don't have a 24hr average yet for the new settings I'm running.

If it's true that later model Vegas will get even faster HBM2, they'll be insane mining cards.

Glad, I waited now. They are saying it might be under $450!

Once, Claymore does the optimisations and with some bios tinkering: you could be looking at 60mhs GPU.



Who are they? Where are they saying it?
If Vega 450? What would be the price of 580? 570? 560 for 50$? Every schoolboy will mine crypto then !

It depends on GPU, settings, selected coin, it's price and net diff. For example, for SIA on stock 1070 ccminer shows 1400MH/s. In dual mode in v9.7 I get 650MH/s SIA (so 45% of pure SIA speed) with only 2% ETH lost (about 25.8MH/s instead of 26.4MH/s).
DCR speed is not so good, agreed.

After seeing this comment I spent some time today testing my 1070's with different -dcri settings.  I wasn't getting anywhere near that SC hash.  About 30.6mh/s eth and 309mh/s sia with default -dcri 30.

While testing on my main PC, I came to the conclusion that a -dcri 60 was about the best trade off for loss of ETH hash vs. gains of SC hash.  I was now getting around 29.5mh/s eth and 660mh/s sia.

I moved these new settings to the mining rig and the ETH hash just tanked.  Checking around I noticed that the cards wanted to draw more power with this new -dcri setting.  The 1070's in my rig are overclocked and the power was decreased.  Originally when I set up the rig, I tested the miner with ETH only and found I could get away with 75% power on the cards with no change to hash.

Increasing the -dcri seems to require more power.  I tried pushing the power to 112% and the hash rates just flew.  29.6mh/s and 693mh/s respectively.

Seems like quite a lot more power for that extra SIA hash.  Just posting as it's something people might want to consider.

TL;DR

-dcri 30, 75% power = 30.6mh/s eth, 307mh/s sia
-dcri 30, 112% power = 30.9mh/s eth, 309mh/s sia

-dcri 60, 75% power = 24.5mh/s eth, 490mh/s sia
-dcri 60, 112% power = 29.6mh/s eth, 693mh/s sia

Did you try experimenting with core clocks while dual mining?  I found 75dcri with a higher core clock for my 1070's gave me higher results for both ETH/SIA at the cost of even more power.  In the end I just decided dual mining wasnt worth the added power, heat, and stress along with the 2% eth tax.

Who's gonna ban me? You? Jesus, I thought Claymore was sometimes a little pissy, but you're a bona fide dick.

I think he was talking to me.  Though I'm not sure why I would get banned for talking about a video card I have, that I'm looking forward to claymore's miner supporting.

thanks for the reply about the wifi guys.

To be honest I was asking because like the few others who reply, i was happily mining on both rigs for the past month.

The adaptor really only showed its weakness in the game (namely dota 2) I play, but it could stream and youtube and mine just fine.  It was only having the socket error during these few days, but I never got it working ever since.

The other rig mines also with a wifi adaptor just fine while this rig is having its problems.  That rig has been extremely steady with the claymore miner so I know wifi could work if you can find the right hardware for it.  I'm just hesitating about buying a new wifi adaptor.

The TP link adaptor in question also got decent reviews online, making it feel like a hit-or-miss thing to me.  What if I buy a new and supposedly better adaptor for an even higher price and it also doesn't work...

arhhh.....

Two fun ways - VBIOS edit is simpler, direct I2C access via MMIO registers on Linux through /dev/mem is more fun.

Both my Vega FE's are in my gaming machine running win10.  My Linux box barely had room for my GTX 970.

I have zero experience modding video card bios, and limited experience editing the bios for overclocking a CPU.  I've always been a person to leave things stock unless I have a pressing need.  OC'ed my 3770k for Arma3... playing with my Vega's for mining purposes since that's why I bought them.

This conversation does not belong here. Why don't you create a new thread for Vega before you are banned here?

I have 11 rx 570. I have calculated that i use 1550w total setup in two rigs. Is this power usage high? Thats about 140w per card (including other components), or 135w without other components.

1. Always measure from the wall.
2. Make a measurement of your system with the GPUs completely unplugged from the motherboard/risers
3. Make a measurement of your system with the GPUs installed
4. Subtract measurement of step 3 from measurement of step 4 and divide by your number of cards

This is aprox your per card consumption. In order to be more precise you would have to take into consideration your PSUs efficiency diagram but I do not think it is worth the effort.

You should name the brand of the card as well if you want other users to post their data.

Another factor you may want to mention is your GPUs core and memory voltages.

All of my 9 Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 8GB consume aprox 142 watts on SOLO ETH mining and 162 watts on DUAL mining, 875mV on core 850mV on memory

Great post!
What do you use to set voltage? What are your GPU memory timings? Do you monitor GPU hardware errors? What are the frequencies and hashrates and dcri settings?

Any word about the AMD 17.7.2 released today? Working? Good? DAG?

I couldn't get it working. For the first time since i'm using 580 i needed to revert to the old drive.

Doesn't seem to support Vega either.

Does this require a pixel patch to support modified bios?

That would be novelty for 5xx. But it's possible.

NVIDIA most likely will drop the price of 1080 to be below Vega.
If Vega is too cheap (aka 450) it will be bought out in minutes by speculators who will set the price according to the demand.
Either way - Vega will cost exactly as much as you just almost can afford ! Smiley))

Installed latest drivers. patched. Same result. only thing is WattTool is not working completely. I'm working remotely though. I had to use Wattman to adjust values.

again, exact same result.

I don't recommend, MSI afterburner or TRIXX doesn't work, overclock only on Wattman. In SG miner my hash decreased.
