Hey Everyone,
We have created a simple PowerShell script to monitor Claymores Dual Miner and restart the miner if it crashes. We been using it privately for a while and have seen massive improvements in hashrate stability on multiple rigs (tested with R9 390/X, RX4/5 series, GTX 1060) and decided to share this with the rest the crypto community. We have released it open source so you can all look over the code to see whats happening. If anybody has any improvements to suggest we'd be happy to hear from you.
FEATURES:
--Monitors Claymore for failed / crashed GPUs and restarts claymore miner app if detected.
--No more waiting to get alerts from the Mining pool, problems are detected in seconds and resolved
--This tool is free, We only ask that the script hosting is done from our site please but you are welcome to link to this post.
PLEASE NOTE:
This tool will in NO WAY attempt to circumvent any of Claymore’s mining fees nor will we do so please don’t ask. We think the fees charged for a superior, constantly updated miner are more than justified.
We thought about charging a small fee for the app but in the spirit of the blockchain decided to share it for FREE!
If the app is useful to you and fixes hashrate stability issues, donate below to say thanks 🙂
