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

[qqqq]

Hello Claymore , could you add dynamic control of intensity from working miner for example by "shift +" "shift -" hotkeys ?

It would require reallocating GPU memory which will cause crash after few iterations, so I wouldn't like to do it.
Why do you need it?

Freezing the 6-RX480 (1100/1950 - 88mv) with -i 4 after start but ok with -i 0. PSU Corsair HX1000i.

Power supply issue or maybe how you are powering the pci riser boards.

4 standard riser with molex and 2 - usb 3.0 riser. Yeah i guess it maybe peak power when start with -i 4 but i'm not sure. With -i 0 (1100/1950 - 88mv)  it consumes ~ 700W.

Are you powering 2 risers with 1 Molex daisychain each? They can pull over 100watts each initially. Even with my modified bios xfx rx480s, they pull 70 watts from Molex on the risers. (running at 0.95 core/mem)

Ref or non-ref 480?

Non-Ref 2nd gen XFX RX480's with the 2 fans.

Yeah - I've unpacked the real miner binary (zecminer64 is only 66k, this is because it loads Data3.bin, decodes it, and then runs it.)

From there you end up with a binary that looks to have been packed by a modified version of UPX - unpacking what it drops looks like an ELF loaded at 0x80000 - it patches several jumps in it to make it work, because it looks like it expects to be loaded at 0x40000. THAT looks like it drops ld.so and the real miner ELF into memory.

Yo dawg, I herd you like executing, so I put an ELF64 in your ELF64 so you can execute while you execute.

I think now one of my points about Linux release is clear - other devs want to see how my miner works and do reverse engineering as soon as they can. It's much easier to do it in Linux.
My License.txt prohibits such things clearly, so you violate the license.
Remember I violated MIT license in past and was blamed that I steal other's work. Now I see same thing from you. Have fun...

Maybe you don't have such a sense of humor...
You also don't seem to understand how copyright law works.  It restricts copying, not reverse engineering.

[smaxz]

ya but dmca..

cant we all just get along? seeing more hostility against nerdralph than buddy openly selling workarounds for your fee structure for like .3 or .1 btc in this same forum.

is juicing nvidia camp and increasing dif going to prop up those donations is what i'd really like to know.

[forzendiablo]

we need 9.3 to fix 280x issues on last one

[smaxz]

what are the lowest undervolting people have been getting away with on reference rx480's and top overclock %'s on stilt flashed r9 290's?

anyone experimenting with the chill setting? figure it wont come into effect unless it can take advantage of this multi-algo switching.. kind of a hail mary but i'll report back on results if i notice anything worthwhile.

WTM says ETH is more profitable than ZEC for time being, oh btw what does a 1070 does on ETH ?

470 4gb i call it the best bang for buck does around 28 mh/s ++ ish on a light mem mod + OC.

 380 sol/s more or less depending on the model and overclocks for my various 1070 cards.
 Some folks have reported up to 430 but I suspect they have cards that like to overclock more or have cards with "better memory" in them.

 I am inclined to agree that the RX 470 4GB is the best "bang for the buck" right now for a mining-specific card, though the 8GB and the various RX 480s can argue the point depending on which specific models are on sale and for how much at any given point.

Hi ALL
What is the best intensity for Saphire RX480 ref?

 My RX 470 Sapphire ref cards like -i 8

 I'm quite certain the 480 should like it even better.

Hi!
Claymore v9.2 linux miner how to run windows cygwin terminal?

 Your question is confusing - are you wanting to run the LINUX version of v9.2 in Windows?

Yes

 Why not just run the NATIVE Windows version?

It seems you should learn a bit.
The License file is a part of miner package. Besides copyrights, it also describes what you may do and what you may not. Do you state that you may ignore "License.txt"? If so, that's what I mean when I say that some devs don't respect licenses.

Have you try opening different instances of the miner ? It would be mining 2 GPUs, 1 min later another 2 , and 1 min later the last 2. You could adjust the intensity (or different for each instance) till your PSU gets the limit.
Just an idea.

-di    GPU indexes, default is all available GPUs. For example, if you have four GPUs "-di 02" will enable only first and third GPUs (#0 and #2).

Regards

BTW, thanks Claymore for your work.

 I'm quite certain the 480 should like it even better.

I use always the default (recommended by Claymore) intensity setting. I tried -8 but I got lower (or same) hashrate on every cards (390/470/480). Oh and I got more rejected shares also.

[marvykkio]

my rig 4 x 480 for some reason you uninstall only one driver and crashes, and tries to install the new driver without my liberty, and strange, only 480, because the 470, and 390x are fine

You're actually right, but many countries have laws that protect reverse engineering (I believe a lot of Europe does) regardless of licenses.

Some do, but that typically is only if you actually purchase something. Something that is offered for free will not cover that as the license explicitly states what is allowed if you want to use it (in whatever form).

What it looks like to me is a couple butthurt devs pissed that claymore getting all the action.  When it comes to people and their money well seems nowadays anything goes. What purpose would they have blatantly talking about ripping him off right in his own thread. Has to be to hope claymore gets pissed and stops developing so we have to use their crap software??!  That's a new low if you ask me.  Instead of taking the time to rip claymore off. Why don't you guys go back to school and learn to code. Then you can come back with better miner and charge a fee

They are pretty good at coding, trust me and their knowledge typically goes a lot deeper than even the more typical coder.
I think it wasn't meant to be malicious but was taken / done in bad taste verses sending him a message personally (off-list) to state they think he has a good sense of humor and how they defeated it.
