Claymore's ZCash/BTG AMD GPU Miner v12.6 (Windows/Linux)

[mettalmag]

guys have some questions that bothers me...

just added in my rig today an HD 8990, to another 3x R9 390 gigabite 8 gb, with a Ewga supernova 1300w G2 PSU... The consuption is 1327w at wall...

Also have an Therma Take Though power 1200w PSU which is running at 1130w at wall....

where is the limit of the PSU consuption in long term? Any experience/advice?   

Just dont wanna burn them in short time...

next, where is the difference between the MSI afterburner setting and setting the settings in the crimson software? for me are the setting possibilities same, or i missing something?

pls teach me...

Many thanks for any advice and help....

just wanted to ask how are you measuring power usage in watts ?

You can use a wattage meter. one example

I just tried nicehash for mining zec using 3rd party miners (claymores) but it only mines on intensity 4 ?
I went into the 3rd part config and attempted to set it to -i 6
But when I restarted it still mines on 4?

Really thinking to switch to ETH

Check http://whattomine.com/ and you'll see you shouldn't switch, at least not yet

All depends what GPU you have (RX480's):

anyone know how to get claymores miner to run at -i 6 on nicehash?

anyone know how to get claymores miner to run at -i 6 on nicehash?

ZecMiner64.exe -zpool equihash.eu.nicehash.com:3357 -zwal your btc adrress -zpsw d=16 -allpools 1 -i 6

Thankyou  I altered the bat file with your recommendations but it still runs at -i 4
I'm trying to run nicehash with the software you download from nicehash and use the 3rd party miner option

sorry before. That setting not using with nicehash miner with 3rd party(claymore), but run Claymore by self without nicehash sofware.

Hello there. I´m facing a difficult problem: either i can buy a 7990 with 280e or two 7970 about 100-140e each. Which one is a smarter option mining-wise?

[chronek]

I demand explanation! Why Claymore devs want take out my computer? Is 2,5% too low??!! I do not want you to use my comp as a part of botnet!!

My rig have fresh system installed just for claymore, everything is blocked, even system itself, only claymore can connect to world, and found today that someone trying take over my rig, scan network and download files!! (i hope was unsucesfull, because everything is blocked or he clean log files) It is my first time using claymore and first time someone take my crig. It is not a coincidence, i am connected directly to large operator, i am behind nat, behing corp grade firewall, only claymore can connect from that vlan, so hacker could use only connection what was started from claymore, so claymore connected to hacker!!

These are old cards, so they are not very profitable. You have to under volt. So it is better to buy the 7990 if the price is just double. They are not hot after undervolting.

Any proof of that? I think there is a logical explanation other than this.

Maybe he has to use the -mport 0. That will not let others control the computer. But I am not 100% sure.

[chronek]

-mport 0 was in option, but even without it every connection from outside is blocked, every connection from inside except claymore is blocked, on rig is only claymore and firewall installed, everything is blocked even system and firewall itself, and even more i am behind nat and hardware firewall, now i reinstall whole rig, will install process and connection logger

I'm just curious, how did you know then that someone is trying to hack you? And what kind of firewall do you use?

Maybee you use the Version 9.0 (the fake one ??)

I'm trying to run nicehash with the software you download from nicehash and use the 3rd party miner option 

In nicehash folder open config folder and open something.json file with notepad++. There is one file for each gpu. Then find equihash settings and write -i 6 in extra settings or something like that. Than save the file and open nicehash program again

[Claymore]

If something happened with your system or hardware - it's Claymore! I saw messages that my miners destruct GPUs, PSUs, crash Windows etc. I won't be surprised when someone discovers that the milk always goes bad because of using my miners.
If you think that I write viruses instead of miners and you are the one who finally discovered it, it's a good idea to read OP or Readme:

......
- Windows 10 Defender recognizes miner as a virus, some antiviruses do the same. Miner is not a virus, add it to Defender exceptions.
  I write miners since 2014. Most of them are recognized as viruses by some paranoid antiviruses, perhaps because I pack my miners to protect them from disassembling, perhaps because some people include them into their botnets, or perhaps these antiviruses are not good, I don't know. For these years, a lot of people used my miners and nobody confirmed that my miner stole anything or did something bad.
  Note that I can guarantee clean binaries only for official links in my posts on this forum (bitcointalk). If you downloaded miner from some other link - it really can be a virus.
  However, my miners are closed-source so I cannot prove that they are not viruses. If you think that I write viruses instead of good miners - do not use this miner, or at least use it on systems without any valuable data.

I can't smell that   Claymore any news?
