Any ideas?

It's a 300 page forum; of course it's not a virus.

My Nod32 said it was OK.

Hello
I have an issue around claymore zcash miner.After 10-60 min of the starting mine I get following error .I have tried win7-8.1 with various AMD drivers such as 15.12 and 16 series even several risers but this error still remains.Core clock and voltage are default values moreover I have created reboot.bat file but after auto restarting of miner, GPU 1 won't work and it gives me 0 hash but GPU 0 still works properly.
I have 2 ASUS r9390x dc2 on each mainboard and all of mainboards have this error.Moreover, I set the virtual memory 20GB (I have 4gb physical memory) even tried GPU downclock but got that error each time!!
Please fix this bug in next version or give me a solution.

error:
ZEC - Total Speed: 577.981 H/s, Total Shares: 11, Rejected: 0, Time: 00:04

Hi,


just to know: who could tell me the hashrate for 7850 and r9 270 not overclocked and undervolted.

Since Version 8.0 i'am thinking about to switch my rigs from ethos (ethereum) to W 7 64-Bit and claymore (zcash)

thx

r7 370 currently 110h/s stock 985mhz core.
7850 is the same? r7 265 too.... right now i'm confused (thanks amd)

Let's mak it more easy:

r7 370 is a rebranded r7 265... r7 265 is a rebranded HD 7850.... TDP 110w, doing 110H/s (Trinidad / Pitcairn pro)
r7 370x is a rebranded r9 270x... r9 270x is a rebranded HD 7870 XT... TDP 150-180w, doing a bit less than 110H/s. (Trinidad xt, Pitcairn XT)

Why a r7 370 (7850) beats a 270x? I don't know... theyre the same "chip" in different editions (pro vs xt)...somehow it does, thanks to the drivers, and AMD.

note: R7 265 overclocks like a motherf*cker. It's one of the weirdest cards AMD has ever made

thx but as far as i know ist a R7 265 a rebranded HD 7850 and a r7 370 a rebranded r 9 270 (without x)

so R7 370 = R9 270 = 110 H/s
so R7 265 = HD7850 = 92 H/s    ??

have a nice day

Could you test your HD 7850 at stock speed (860mhz core?) and tell me what's the hashrate?
Happy mining, currently ZEC (and for the last weeks) is being more pofitable than eth, better point your rigs to a zec pool.
(If you want to hodl eth, exchange zec for it)

I have only one HD7850 with 860mhz the other 4 cards have 1000mhz. i will do an dual boot next week (different disk) with W7 64... so i can switch from ethereum to zec just switching the disk......than i will tell you Wink

ok  here it is  4 * HD 7850 2 GB 1000Mhz   99 H/s total 400 H/s (Win 7 64 bit)
Have a nice day

I see some posts that V8 reached hardware limits and there is no way to improve speed anymore. It's not true.
I'm working on new version with another good speedup, though it takes more time and efforts.

Maybe a little bit to early for the F5   Roll Eyes  Grin  Tongue

Already looking forward to it  Wink Cool

Great work!

Zecminer64.exe = virus?

Kaspersky said...

Any ideas?

Hi! Read this, maybe try to download it again from official links. If still detected as positive by your antivirus, choose to trust Claymore and use his miner or dont.

Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner.

LINKS:

GOOGLE: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B69wv2iqszefdmJickl5MF9BOEE?usp=sharing
MEGA: https://mega.nz/#F!P0ZjFDjC!Cmb-ZRqlbAnNrajRtp4zvA

KNOWN ISSUES:
- Windows 10 Defender recognizes miner as a virus, some antiviruses do the same. Miner is not a virus, add it to Defender exceptions.
  I write miners since 2014. Most of them are recognized as viruses by some paranoid antiviruses, perhaps because I pack my miners to protect them from disassembling, perhaps because some people include them into their botnets, or perhaps these antiviruses are not good, I don't know. For these years, a lot of people used my miners and nobody confirmed that my miner stole anything or did something bad.
  Note that I can guarantee clean binaries only for official links in my posts on this forum (bitcointalk). If you downloaded miner from some other link - it really can be a virus.
  However, my miners are closed-source so I cannot prove that they are not viruses. If you think that I write viruses instead of good miners - do not use this miner, or at least use it on systems without any valuable data.

My Kaspersky is not detecting it as a virus. Try uploading the file to https://www.virustotal.com/

Where did you download it from? The official links are at the start of the page.

I've read a lot of people have flashed their RX 480s with the 1500 timings to increase Sols/s. I have the 8GB Ref versions. Would this work on my cards, and if so, could someone point me in the direction of a tutorial? Thanks!

maybe this would help:

If I may recommend, don't flash your vbios directly with any downloaded vbios rom file.. instead make backup of your vbios, save it.. open both the downloaded vbios rom file and your backup vbios file with bios editor.. compare the values in them, if you like it, copy the values from downloaded vbios rom to your backup rom file.. save your edited backup rom file.. then flash your card with your edited backup vbios file..

Every share sent is weighted by the pool with the difficulty of the share. Sending a lot of low difficulty shares won't earn you anything more than sending 4 times less shares with 4 times more difficulty
There is a case where you may want low difficulty shares. If you have bad internet connection where an established connection may be lost, you may lose share because when you send it, it will not be delivered (in time or at all). In that case a share that costs a lot may be worse case than few low cost shares. Of course, TCP should guarantee the delivery, but in real life you still may have "connection lost" reports. So not being a recommendation, this could be a reason for static difficulty port.

I don't trust Kaspersky but neither Zecminer64.exe seems legit,
why not to check it with other antivirus ?
or even with malwarebytes ?


Is there any chance to make miner mine on two pools like Claymore takes his DEV fee by mining for himself ?
I mean to make miner mine like 3 minutes every hour for other worker ?

Go mine on Dwarfpool!!! No stealing shares  like other pools..... I switched from flypool to dwarfpool, and I have 15% more shares!!!(my real shares)

Interesting probbaly will make the switch if things dont improve on nano and flypool

I was mining on flypool for the past month and last night I switched to Dwarfpool for the night
I made HALF of what I was making in flypool
Back to flypool....


flypool is PPLNS payment format -- so you need to be in flypool for period of time to get maximum hash/reward.

is Dwarfpool PPS or PPLNS?

if Dwarfpool is PPLNS like flypool, then to compare fairly you need to be mining at Dwarf longer than a night...

Sorry for untopic question , but im wondering for a long time. I know that continious mining on one pool maximize the reward , but should it be uninterruptable connection to the pool ? , I mean does reconect lower the reward or not ?

So, I've done some testing with my reboot issue, and i've found that if i leave the one GPU (GPU 1(the second one out of two in the rig)) running without running the first, that it works with no issues on auto fans.

The one with the shut down issue has blue print on the caps VER006.
The other riser has red print on the caps (instead of blue) and works fine.

I've nailed it down to the riser. It's defective or something like that.

Anyone else have this issue with blue print on the caps VER006 risers?

Recap on my issue: the rig would totally shut down if i left the GPU fans on auto, but if i put them at around 60%, they would work fine.

I guess i gotta put it all back together and all for now, and I'll contact the eBay seller and hope to get it replaced.

Any miners using claymore v8 on an Sapphire rX-470 - Nitro edition - 8Gb Oc that are undervolting to get the best possible hash per watt ratio?
If so, would you mind telling me you stats (at the wall please, no hwinfo/gpuz figures).

how i can make at the wall ?
hwinfo and gpuz give me 70W.

i use :
https://anorak.tech/t/anoraks-vbios-collection-optimized-settings-for-performance-power-saving/13/3

this rom with powersave :
https://anorak.tech/uploads/default/original/1X/ba97e4fa5363c3fbd9373b5f3480ce4d27a2fac1.rom
on Trixxx i make :
GPU Clock : 1126 (default value)
Memory Clock : 2000 (default value)
Power Limit : -5%
GPU Voltage : -100mV

What is your hash rate?

~160 H/s
