 2) I'm 100% sure he's making a lot more out of his ZEC miner, and as that appears to have some significant upgrade space remaining, it's drawing ALL of his attention right now.


On the other side I'm 100% sure that Claymore's ZEC miner reached the plato. You cannot get more than 2-4% of improvements more

At current prices and hash-rates for each, Claymore would have to improve speeds on his ZEC miner byt what... 65-70%... just to get it back to even with XMR as far as mining profitability goes.  And I think we can all agree that is not going to happen.  The fact it, as ZEC prices continue to drop, people are switching away from it every day and going to ETH and or XMR.  Given this, I would expect to see Claymore re-route effort towards XMR 10, but who knows. His dev fee is actually higher for XMR btw.

p.s are those HDD/SSD racks removable?


 ALL of the drive bays (there are 3 - 2 for HD and one for FD/CD/DVD/etc) in that case are removable.


Yes, the box states that they are indeed removable, although I've not done it nor plan to. At this point, I'm keeping it a 4-card rig. Keeping it simple...


 I'm not going by the box.

 As far as Claymore upgrading his XMR miner:

 1) It's possible it's mature enough code there is no significant upgrade that CAN be done.
 2) I'm 100% sure he's making a lot more out of his ZEC miner, and as that appears to have some significant upgrade space remaining, it's drawing ALL of his attention right now.


Perhaps in a month or three when he decides his ZEC miner can't be further upgraded, you might convince him to look at the XMR code again.

RX480's are hitting 720 -> 770 h/s depending if you're under or over clocking.

Tried to mine XMR with Claymore - bunch of errors, very unstable
But indeed - RX 480 gives ~725H/s

v9.6 gives 820H/s on R9-390s and 730H/s on RX480s

v9.6 gives about 550H/s on Nanos 4GB HBR

XMR likes big VRAM.

Looks like running all the rigs in XMR will be good for business moving forward


I've hit 850H/s on 470 4G with good timings, but my 480 8G still won't hit it. Clears 800H/s, though.

wolf - are your 470s stock settings? which brand? Thanks

Which timing straps are we talking about?

at 700 h/s xmr mining becomes more profitable over zec and eth.
Those timings the same as ETH or they are different?
I've never tried my rigs on XMR before

Actually, XMR is more profitable than ZEC at well under 700 h/s.  My 5x 470 rig is only hashing 580 per card but still about 60-70% more profitable than ZEC.  Granted, I was still only using CZM 8.0 but still... not really even close.

Looks like ZEC has fallen and couldnt get up.... it was a blast while this puppy lasted.

Switching to XMR..... no wait..... ETH...... no wait......XMR and ETH?

Claymore's magic works well only on ETH with RX480.

For XMR, Claymore's support for RX480 is not up to the mark yet although its hashing as good as a older cards it can do better.

So for now, I will switch all rigs to XMR, except for RX480 rigs which will mine ETH.

Your RX480's should be on XMR.

What software are you using for this?

I built an open air rig that I may migrate to 6 cards. It currently has 5. I would have to swap some boards around to do all this, and switch the OS on that particular board from W7 to W10.

ZEC just broke $39 and dropping. It's pointing toward $20

I am mining Zec and holding it.  Up to 7 Zec coins.

I will mine and hold until my birthday this Jan 27th.

I think Zec has a big move coming.

If ZEC holds up.... phase out my GPUs and get a couple dozen Panda Miners and ship them to Labrador Grin

With ETH going POS soon.... XMR and ZEC are quickly becoming my fav mining coins.

I havent tried wolf's XMR miner yet -- is it any good? AMD and NVIDIA?

Me neither

Let's press Claymore to work on XMR - it is his devfees Smiley



I highly recommend people start posting in Claymore's XMR GPU miner thread, we need more traction.

We started to kick Claymore's ass in his XMR miner topic. I think we need a critical mass to move him on rewriting the code for new cards

YEah I chimed in there as well... really does seem like he wrote that when the 390's were the latest and greatest. He doesn't even mention 470/480's anywhere in his readme file, so I would assume there should be quite a bit of room for increased hash-rate with them.

Out of curiosity, can someone recommend settings for 470s (or 480s) in Claymore?  I am only getting about 575 per 470, which seems quite low. They are over-clocked and under-volted but not strap-modded yet. Still I would expect them in this stat to be a lot closer to the 725 480's are getting, so any recommendations would be appreciated.

you're a good guy Phil so for your sake, I hope it goes up.  Personally, I dumped half of my 3 ZEC earlier today about about $42. Now mining ETH & XMR only so I won't accumulate any more ZEC. I may hold that final 1.5 ZEC just to see what happens, but i just got sick and tired of seeing it drop 5-10% almost every day.

What he has achieved in ZEC, he can easily put the same approach in XMR because both are memory intensive algos.

The GPUs with superior memory and controllers, should give huge hash counts.
