@Claymore
When I run 9.2 in my rigs, I always get gpu0 hangs. I just get this error with only 9.2. They are stable with 9.0 and old releases ( I didn't update to 9.1). All my rigs are same hardware. Asrock h81 btc pro + 8 gb ram + ssd + 6 X rx 470 nitro 8 gb + celeron cpu + evga 1300 g2
 If I disable gpu0 ( vga that plugged to 16x slot ) there is no problem. I tried every combination after you released this version.

Just noticed Claymore has a sense of humor:
Code:
not so easy bro :)
When setting AMD_OCL_BUILD_OPTIONS_APPEND

Setting AMD_OCL_BUILD_OPTIONS gets:
Code:
it fails too ;)

However after a quick hex edit of the amd opencl shared library
Code:
export AMD_OCL_RALPH_OPTIONS_APPEND=-save-temps
Works just great. :-)

Someone use r 60 option?
Why to restart every hour... more sols?

Like someone said (Jenci), in my experience, sometimes the longer the miner goes, the more likely it is to become unstable and stop mining correctly. So I restart it every 2 hours (-r 120) to hopefully "refresh" the process and hopefully keep stability for longer. Not sure if there's actually something to it, but it seems to be working fine, so I just leave it.

No, now 430 hash for 1070...

See edits. Still isn't worth it...

Further Edit:

Efficiency Setup - at equal power use for comparison without power costs impacting the analysis.
                    Edit:       Edit:
Card   Price   Hash/s   Power (W)   H/$
1070  $400    380        100            0.95
Fury   $260    300        100            1.15

Full Bore Setup
Card   Price   Hash/s   H/$
1070  $400    430      1.075
Fury   $260    350      1.346

The 1070 has a long way to go before it's worth a look.  The entry cost of $400/card is just too steep to overcome without some serious hash.

it's wrong, the 1070 do 380 at 100watt not 330

If you did a little math yourself you'd see at 380 it's still not wrong.  AMD is still ahead of Nvidia in H/$ running efficiently AND running full bore.  Even with the adjusted numbers the 1070 is still 20% less H/$.  AMD dead?? It's still in the LEAD.

Edit: AMD guys are quibbling over 0.5% using ssl and 2%-4% in pool variance.
Nvidia guys are paying a 20% premium just to play the game and screaming victory.  It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

does not work with my gigabyte hd7950 3gb,
none of the claymores did, some 7950 do work btw. high hashes, thanks clay,
what could the cause be. card mines the hell out of other alts.

anyway.. version 9.3 on the way i guess,?

FINALLY a LINUX build!!!!!  Thank you Claymore!  Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!  

I have it up and running on a Linux rig now and a very nice improvement over my Silent Army miner.  The was so sorely needed.  ZEC mining was a weak spot because I couldn't get the hash rates out of my Linux rigs.  This is wonderful news.  So far it looks good!

UPDATE: I may have spoke too soon... Just got a watchdog and having to reboot a miner...

Make sure you use stock clocks for first tests.
Currently I can only confirm issue with gpu-pro drivers that causes a lot of messages to syslog (and therefore high CPU load on multi-GPU systems), I'm working on it.

Any update on the high message issue with AMDGPU-pro?

Maybe you should read 1st post before start mining!?

-wd    watchdog option. Default value is "-wd 1", it enables watchdog, miner will be closed (or restarted, see "-r" option) if any thread is not responding for 1 minute or OpenCL call failed.
   Specify "-wd 0" to disable watchdog.

-r  Restart miner mode. "-r 0" (default) - restart miner if something wrong with GPU. "-r -1" - disable automatic restarting. -r >20 - restart miner if something
   wrong with GPU or by timer. For example, "-r 60" - restart miner every hour or when some GPU failed.
   "-r 1" closes miner and execute "reboot.bat" file ("reboot.bash" or "reboot.sh" for Linux version) in the miner directory (if exists) if some GPU failed.
   So you can create "reboot.bat" file and perform some actions, for example, reboot system if you put this line there: "shutdown /r /t 5 /f".


question: possibile restart miner every 24h (-r 1440) and execute reboot.bat if any problem with miner?
in my case after ~28-30h of work miner produce many invalid shares. but if any problem with gpu thread after autorestart miner is hold before "settings intensity"

what is

look at second worker 0 share
i am mining from last 55minutes is this normal?

Pretty sure that's not normal. Hit "S" to see if miner threads hung, or not. Most of the time, I have to manually go and restart the mining software for it to come back, even with watchdog setting enabled, etc.

miner is runnig fine.
i am using eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333   for all 3 workers. should i change EU1 to US1

Also just my .02 but flypool kind of sucked for me. I hated their delayed hashrate figures, and no estimated earnings for the day, etc, etc. I'm having much better luck on nanopool. Faster hashrate updates, shows your approximate earnings for the day within 6 hours, and so on. But your mileage may certainly vary.
thanks i will give nanopool a try

Yep, no problem.

Here's my config for nanopool, maybe just give that one rig a try to see if you can get it running.

ZecMiner64.exe -zpool ssl://zec-us-east1.nanopool.org:6633 -zwal t1RmfFygNN4ZategY2D954qSgUAd1ZfeALH.worker1 -zpsw z -wd 1 -r 120

Obviously sub in your payment address and everything. I'm also set up for United States East Coast, but still worth a shot to see if the pool is picking up your shares.

Well, I suppose it's worth a shot. Did you check your config for any kind of typo on the server? Just a thought. But yeah, try a different server just to see if things are working. Better to have a little slower mining than no mining...

In case you want to save on fees (legally):

0% fee during Xmas on http://zec.suprnova.cc

Smiley

I love suprnova Cheesy

what a generous offer, and plenty of newbie accounts endorsing the promotion.

unfortunately mining at zero fees or not at suprnova has always netted me a marked decrease in coins mined vs other pools.

never failed to fail.

Hey guys, I don't want to beat a dead horse, but I know most people feel that MSI Afterburner doesn't give the whole story in regards to power consumption, etc.

For you guys with a Kill-A-Watt type device, about how many watts have you found your RX 480's to be using? RX 470 numbers would be great as well. Thanks! Smiley
