no worries  keep buying gear    and building away (I hope      )

Appreciate it!

claymore  8.1     use  -ethi 6 -dcri 25      first  and slowly increase   maybe   8 and 30   then 10 and 40  watch your temps  and power

which smos miner are you using for this Phil? Thanks, Greg

on clay I am at  .....11602 dcr and ....386.6 eth  with  10.0 amps at 240 volts  settings of 12 + 60

on clay I am at ----- 11610      dcr and ------ 390     eth with  10  amps at 240 volts settings of 13 + 60

on clay I am at ----10900 dcr and --------- 393 eth with 9.9 amps at 240 volts settings of 10 + 55  these seem good

I drop about 28mh for the 16 gpus  and gain 10900 dcr   

The Panda on sgminer DCR mining only; got past 10Gs -- I think still can push further with -I 24

Thanks ... Here is mine and its alive.

Dual mining will be brutal on GPU and CPU, so lowest mining on ETH but maximum speed on DCR.

-dbg -1  -wd 1 -r 1 -mport -3333  -estale 1 -esm 1 -ethi 0  -epool asia1.ethpool.org:3333 -ewal .$rigName -esm 0 -epsw x -allpools 1 -mport -3333  -dpool stratum+tcp://decred.hk.nicehash.com:3354 -dwal .$rigName -dpsw x -dcoin dcr -dcri 80 -dcrt 1

I got as high as 21000 on this  with 7.1 amps at 240 volts.

on clay  I am at 12800 dcr  and 365 eth with 10 amps at 240 volts   settings  of 14 + 70

on clay I am at ...12260 dcr and ....376   eth  with 9.9 amps at 240 volts  settings of 13  + 65

sgminer v5.5

Depends I can do -ethi 16. And  -dcri 80

Which is max max.

But I reduced all my four card rigs to two gpus.  To get ready for newer. gpus and to prep for my summer rate change.


You also need better CPU to do it.

If I can do this for two weeks I would be pleased.

I lose  about 75mh from eth

and get about 12000 for decred

on 16   80 =   max   max

I calculated this morning that about a -dcri of 55 has the highest profitability of both eth+dcr (default eth intensity). Now is anyone mining only DCR with  a DCR miner? which miner?

EDIT: calculated 45 as optimal later in the day with a different rig

its full speed DCR around 700 mhs per card of a rx 470 4g

so this is a very low ETH mining but full speed DCR mining?

okay i fixed my issue with claymore v8.1 dualing eth and dcr

first off im using smOS with powerstate 0 1050 core 1850 memory
my issue  was it didnt like the core clock so high 1130 is my normal for everything
my command line is DCR heavy because of selling rates at nicehash

i had it right in the .bat, just not in the post 

when mining 1st starts it seems to get a lot rejects but then after a bit it settles down and shares get accepted.

 I found the sweet spot on rx 470/480 cards.







4 card rig and it should be consuming under 600 watts.

Only using 12 watts at the gpu more than ETH only.

As for DCR pools, I originally tried Suprnova but had a weird payout/account lock issue. The owner of that site eventually unlocked my account but by that time, I had switched over to decredpool.org and have been there since (about 3-4 weeks). For the most part, it's been pretty good. I really like their dashboard and other available stats, which seem to be a bit better than other pools. However, I have had a few issues where my results seem to slow to a crawl and have had to send a message to their support about it. I have not once seen an actual response from them but my account seems to get back to normal a while after sending the inquiry.

It's true that there is a long confirmation cycle for DCR. For instance, your Unconfirmed shares will start showing up within a few hours but when I started (with 12 GPUs pointed at DCR), I didn't get my first confirmed share until almost 24 hours after starting. This isn't a huge deal because it's only really noticeable at the beginning when you are accumulating unconfirmed shares. Still though, it's a notable difference from most other coins I have mined.

I have been considering trying another pool or going back to Suprnova because of that issue that seems to pop up every week or so. This has caused my results to be around 15% worse than the mining calculators say. Now that DCR is over $15, that adds up pretty quick.  I'm glad that another poster here mentioned coinmine.pl for DCR because I've been using that for Dash mining for almost a month and it has been flawless... getting almost exactly what the mining calcs say... although, I realize that could be at least partially because of the extreme efficiency of the Baikal Mini I am using.  Still, I think I will change over as soon as I reach my next payout of 5 DCR on decredoool.org.

@ deadsix thanks to LoneRangir


  I figured it out.
A little more info  on supernova  setup a worker

your user name and a worker name

deadsix.test
deadsix.test2

also take you polinex address for decred  and  go to settings  put the address there and a pay out level  say .5 dcr

the coins will go to polinex when you reach .5 dcr

Dammit so that's where I was fudging up. Thanks Phil

Suprnova requires you to create a account with them.

Then you have to register your Poloniex DCR address in suprnova website.

I recall ocminer saying he can setup direct address mining if enough demand - not sure if that plan got done.
