Hello! I would be glad if someone could tell me what port should I use to monitor Ethminer?

this is the actual maintained version: https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer

Does anyone know where I can get a question about this version of ethminer answered?  I am trying to use the API to manage my miners remotely ethminer is not responding.  Thanks.

And if anyone is interested, I have tested Claymore and ethminer extensively and I believe ethminer is actually better than Claymores when you do not have to pay the dev fee to Claymore.  I base this conclusion on the reported results from the pool and not on the hash rate displayed by the miner.  The shares submitted to the pools by the two miners is about the same but when you subtract the dev fee, ethminer comes out slightly ahead.

There are some variations depending on the pool and coin but in general, this is the result I have determined.

Genoil's ethminer does not have an AP for remote management as far as I can tell, but the newer version does.  It works with Claymores ethman.exe but I canot get it to work with my own code.  The ethminer API is supposed to be compatible with claymores miner but my TCP client works fine with Claymores, not with ethminer.

Too much info.  I was just hoping to find someone can tell me how to make the API work.

hiya all i was hoping any one can help me here:

i been using ethminer for about 2 month now with no issue only last week i started to have a problem with the miner keep crashing

saying unspicfic error lunch error line 300, i have to clue what is tht and i haven't changed my sitting at all since i started using this miner, any 1 have an idea what is tht error and what is line 300 referring to ?!

this is the actual maintained version: https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer

I noticed that recently, but it doesn't have some improvements that I made like share submission timers.
Code:
stratum  B-) Submitted and accepted in 99 ms.

As can be seen by the lack of activity in this thread, JW(Genoil) stopped maintaining this miner about a year ago.
I've recently resumed updates on my fork for Linux/AMD.   CUDA and Windows is untested and no longer guaranteed to work.
https://github.com/nerdralph/ethminer-nr

A Linux binary can be found in the releases folder.

Yes somebody is using still it Cheesy I just trust this miner the most Kiss

This miner is pretty old and there is a problem lately. On compute mode on Fury and Vega there is a hashrate drop after 3-4 hours of mining. Up to 30-40% drop that requires miner reboot to get full hashrate back. It reports full hashrate but on pool it is lower or stale shares increase a lot. Doesn't happen on Graphics Mode on Fury, but on Vega you can't switch modes...   I no longer have this problem, miner works great.

Overall I like it, hashrates are good, 40mh/s no problem on Vega.

Are there  here anyone still using this  miner?
could someone post a comparision between Claymore, Sgminer and Genoil here?
Is it still worth miners attention or it should  be definitelly strike off?

Hi!

I'm just getting started and would apppreciate some help.

I'm using a Geforce 1080TI.
So the best would be to mine with CUDA, right?
How can I change my .bat file to mine with CUDA?

My .bat looks like this at the moment:
ethminer -G -S coinotron.com:3344 -O username.workername:workerpassword

Thanks in advance,
Foong

If you type "ethminer -h" in the command line it will spit out a complete list of commands you can use. This should have what you are looking for.
Posted it here, for the record.

Code:

17 seems realistic, but try it with claymore's miner also. That miner is under development, this one is abandoned.

Allright. I tried mining with Claymore, but it allways shut down with the error, that no pool could be found, because nanopool seems not to be able to login via adress.
Installed crimson 15.12 for it and wanted to go back to mining with genoil, but now only my 770 is found by start_opencl.bat. Before that it never started the 770 via opencl, only via cuda.
Restarted my PC several times, plugged the monitor into both GPU, so that the nano is active, but nothing changed.
weird... try to add this to your batch file: --opencl-platform 1 -SP 1.
Also what batch did you use for claymore?

Sorry for my late reply.
Fixed it till late noon and was so happy after I was successfull.
What i've done was, that I removed the 770 and started again mining with the r9 nano. For now I had stable 25-26 mh/s. Only thing that makes me wonder are the calculated hashrates from nanopool. Is it possible that nanopool calculates your hashrate with the shares you've found and not the hashrate the miner shows?
But nevermind. I think my problem was, that there wasn't enough space between the nano and the 770, that the nano went too hot and got a shortage in hashrates from that.
I just moved the 770 one slot downwards and use it now as active gpu. So now I can mine 24/7 and can play when i want.
There was just one setting I needed to add to the batch "--opencl-platform 1", because the miner still didn't recognized the r9 nano after mining with claymore.
To answer your question at last: i tried mining with the opencl.bat

Now I have a last question for you:
I am now thinking of building a mining rig, which gpu's shall I buy? Going for the 1060/1070 (or maybe the 1070ti after the release on 11/2?) or the rx 480/580?

nobody tells me  how to run this uncompilable GENOIL on Linux.
no deb packets , no ready-to-go  tar.gz archives  nothing.

Hello there.
I started mining eth yesterday.
My Rig is:
i7-4700k(stock, don't see the point to oc)
evga z97 ftw (as I understand the specs, it only has pcie x16 (8x) for one GPU and 4x for 2 GPU)
16gb DDR3 Crucial Ballistics CL11
Sapphire R9 nano (main GPU for mining)
MSI GTX 770 4GB (2nd mining GPU and for gaming)
Samsung 840 Pro
Windows 10 pro 64bit

I have two starting .bat. One for each GPU.
As I read in a few threads, MH/s with the R9 nano differs from 20-35 MH/s. I only get a maximum of 10,5 MH/s.

My start_opencl.bat for the R9 looks like this:

"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

ethminer.exe --farm-recheck 200 -G -S eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -FS eth-eu2.nanopool.org:9999 -O YOUR_ADDRESS/YOUR_WORKER/YOUR_EMAIL"

Is there anything wrong in the batch? I just used the recommended config from nanopool.

On top of the low MH/s for the nano, they aren't even stable. It's just one second at around 10 MH/s and then one or even two seconds at 5 MH/s.

I know that the Gtx 770 isn't a great deal (around 2 MH/s), because of the high energy comsumption, but I am not paying for the electricity used and just wanted to mine as much as I can or use it for gaming and let only the nano mine.
Is it a problem with the bat, is the mainboard the problem with it's pcie or anything else?
I am thankfull for every help.
I can't see anything wrong in the batch, but 10MH seems really low for an r9 card. I'd say you should try it with an other ethereum algo based coin, and if you get the same rate, there is a bottleneck somewhere, maybe it's not engough power or something, especially when it drops to its half sometimes.

It's not sometimes. It is every second. But i saw that i used this night farm-recheck 2000. Maybe that was the problem. I changed it to 200 in my break and the stats from nanopool showing me now 17 MH/s still increasing.
I dind't changed the bat for the GTX 770 but same here, nanopool is saying that it's mining with 8,5 MH/s.

My PSU is the Corsair cs 750. I think this must be enough.

@patofet: so you recommend me to try the claymore miner? Maybe this is something that i can do after work.

I don'0t know why but when I'm using this miner sometimes some card give me low mh/s something like all gpu are in 31mh/s and one 20mh/s in the same conditions claymore give me all gpu 31mh/s
