I used paypal to withdraw.
Thanks

So, this is now driving me absolutely insane.

I had a play around with a couple of things last night on my rig.

The 295x2 issue seems to be kinda sorted, bit weird as I just moved cards around in slots and it seemed to improve.

Only problem now is that my Vega is pathetic. lol.

See the attached pic for details.  No matter which slot the Vega goes into, the performance isn't anywhere near where it should be.

Rig setup....

Biostar TB250-BTC (non-pro)
CPU - Intel Celeron 3950 (From memory anyway, could have that model wrong)
16gb Hyper-X DDR 2400
128gb OCZ SSD
EVGA 1000watt PSU
Corsair 1200watt PSU
1x nVidia GTX 980
1x nVidia GTX 1050ti (Also Display Card)
2x AMD R9 Fury
1x AMD R295x2
1x AMD RX Vega 56 (stock Bios, secondary bios flashed to Vega 64, not tested)

No overclocking.

All GPU's Connected Via Risers.

I've tweaked the settings for the Claymore miner (Eth intensity set to 4, secondary set to 30).

I know it's not an ideal rig in terms of power/benefit, but I'm using this to experiment and learn how it all works before getting a full rig set up and it's still profitable.

As I said it's really driving me nuts, so does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

I can't disable it in the BIOS because the GPU is a mining edition with no video output, but I did disable it under Device Manager and WAHOO! It seems to be working! It's been more than an hour now and so far it hasn't frozen. Thank you so much!

Disable the integrated graphics in the BIOS.

Do you mean the driver, or disable it on Winminer?

have you tried to disable the R7 Radeon Graphics card just in case? -if that can be done, just wondering...- Maybe it runs into some kind of incompatibility with the main graphics card when mining, or it can't mine..

Ok, really hoping someone here might be able to shed some light on why I'm having the issues I'm having with Winminer on my computer. I'm new to mining, but I've done a ton of searching and just can't find anything to help me out.

I have an ASUS AMD A10-7800, 2TB HDD, 12GB DDR3, with Radeon R7 Integrated Graphics. Originally had a GTX 1050 in there as well, then upgraded to an RX 470 8GB, and still having problems, they're just happening faster now...

In a nutshell: computer crashes every time I try to run Winminer, usually within about 2 or 3 minutes, a couple times it ran for up to half an hour before it crashed.

And it hasn't been just one type of error, it's been several:
-Blue screen with 'Thread Stuck in Device Driver' error
-Blue screen with a couple other error messages
-Just freezing, no error screen, requiring forced reboot

I had emailed the Winminer team with questions, and I'm still waiting to hear back from my last email. Their first suggestion to me was to check Event Viewer, find an error with Winminer as the cause, and then give them the details on the error message. Problem is, no error messages show Winminer as the direct cause, but the crashes only happen when it is running. I can play a game for an hour with no issues, but 2 minutes into mining and I'm rebooting once again.

Various error messages within Event Viewer/Windows:
-AODDriver 4.3 service
-AMDFuel Service
-RTK GATT service
-RTK GAP service
-atikmdag.sys Page Fault in Nonpaged Area
-amdkmdap

Things we've tried:
-updating drivers
-updating Windows
-updating BIOS
-fresh install of Winminer
-fresh install of Windows
-downloading AMD software like Radeon Software Adrenaline Edition

PLEASE...does anyone have any ideas what's going wrong and how I can get this sorted out? It is making me absolutely mental.

lol similar situation here. My Ryzen 1500X sometimes performs better than my 1050Ti.

On another note, for the WinMiner staff, regarding the update. Kudos to you, keep up the good work! Any chance to see any of my suggestions being realised someday in the future? Best regards

I'm not having that issue, but something very odd that I have seen on my 'part time' mining machine.

My Ryzen 1800x mines way faster than the GTX980 that's in there. lol.

I've experimented a bit with CPU mining and I think there's something odd going on with mining ETN on the CPU. Sometimes I get the expected hash rate, but quite often when the miner starts, I've observed that the first attempt to connect to the pool fails, and then it seems to be given shares at an abnormally low rate, resulting in maybe 75% of the hash rate I'd expect, or sometimes even lower. Restarting the miner a few times sometimes fixes it, but not always. Happens both with the xmr-stak miner and with Claymore's Cryptonight miner. Anyone else experience the same issue?

@TeamWinMiner, thanks and keep up the good work.

Is there a means of implementing viewing some GPU stats like temps, clocks speeds etc in web UI?

Anyone using these line of code with WinMiner?

It's what I use when mining XMR on Vega56 and it does around 1600+H/s but it's not recognised within WinMiner meaning i'm stuck around 1400H/s.

"gpu_thread_num" : 2,

"gpu_threads_conf" : [
    { "index" : 0, "intensity" : 2016, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },
    { "index" : 0, "intensity" : 1600, "worksize" : 8, "affine_to_cpu" : false },
  ],


Thanks

@TeamWinMiner - Very nice update.  Thanks for the hard work guys

A quick question, I may have missed it somewhere, but is the ability to mine different coin on different cards from the same manufacturer on the dev roadmap? (ie, I have a few different AMD cards (2xR9 Fury's, 1xRX Vega, and an R295x2) and would like to have the ability to mine different coins on the different cards as they seem to perform differently depending on the cards.  The main 'sticking point' for me at the moment is the 295x2 as it's performance is terrible with WinMiner, but when I was using NiceHash it's performance was on par with the other cards (Also to note the Vega isn't performing as well as it should).

Thanks

Happy 2018 everyone!!  

Thanks for your greetings and support!

We have a couple of cool announcements for you –

(1)   We have a new version (v1.102) of WinMiner with features you requested that will allow you to customize the performance logic of WinMiner:

a.   Pre-defined one time benchmark option

Now you can set the benchmark values for your machine once, and no further benchmarking will take place.
This is a feature for advanced users who know what hash power their machine delivers and want no benchmarking cycles to take place, thus maximizing mining time.
This feature is available on an all new “Benchmark” tab  

b.   Define the profit improvement threshold that justifies, in your opinion, a switch to a different coin.

This is a feature for advanced users who can set WinMiner to only switch coins if a certain profit performance boost is anticipated of the change (e.g. only switch if the profit boost is greater than 10%).

The default recommended mode operates at a dynamic threshold per coin which takes into account the different switch time, different coins have.

This feature is available on the updated “Coins” tab

(2)   We have fixed the “Auto start” feature bug.

(3)   We have added the Ella coin to our list of mined coins

(4)   We are about to add (currently available only to beta users) the XVG coin

(5)   Withdrawal options:

PayPal - the $50 holiday season limitation will be lifted shortly.
Amazon Gift Cards – Adding Amazon.de and Amazon.co.uk shortly
More payment options are in the works

(6)   Finally, we have published some thoughts on the issue of performance comparisons – mining profit calculators and hash rate market places, and how not all Dollars are born equal – you are welcome to have a look and tell us what you think - www.winminer.com/blog/

That is all for now folks.

Great things are coming! Stay tuned…

Nice update guys, looks great.

same here. I have just withdrawn my first 20$ today to Paypal and the experience was fine, great stuff. It was quite easy.

As for balance updates and so on, I reside in Europe (besides the fact that I am not always checking the updated stats) and every time I check the stats update quite fast, but dunno, I am not constantly seeing whether it is updating or not. In addition, this is a great program to keep track of the coins, how are gaining traction a day and those which aren't.

It updated in both my rigs today.
 
 

I don't have a txn hash number. I submitted a withdrawal via the "other" section of the winminer webpage (https://web.winminer.com/#!/balance/withdraw) and got a thank you message. That's all info I have from winminer. I made a screenshot of the withdrawal and sent it by e-mail to the support on January 6. 2018 and got no reply. I can post the screenshot here too if needed.

Yeah, balance seems to be stuck again. Nothing to worry about though, they'll fix it.

Hi TeamWinMiner!

The balance issue is still now? Yesterday night once the balance was good, but now I see my balance same since 1 hour...
