Could SIA support be added to this |
|
Oh I didn't notice SIA had been added to NiceHash. It wouldn't be hard to activate SIA dual mining once there is support for it in NHM at all, but that has to be there first. |
|
They added it as a mining option but not in the software yet, i believe it needs an update version of claymore, which should be available in the next 24hrs |
|
Yeah, there needs to be support for it in the software first before I can add it as a dual algo though. I could do it now but I'm pretty sure there will be official support soon anyway. |
|
Not 100% sure there will be any more release on the 1.7 branch now that they are working on v2 Thanks for the PR hope it gets merged soon :) |
|
Thanks! |
|
@DillonN Thanks for the contribution. |
|
No support of dual mining for nVidia cards ....WHY ?? (ClaymoreDual for ETH too - Genoil Miner is unstable if you have more than 3+ cards in rig ) |
|
@lukasmagi Check out #985 |
|
Hi and thanks for the this DillonN, but how do you use the feature, I know its a silly question. |
|
@imrecsoka go into your GPU and you will see the additional algorithms, enable them, benchmark and then if more profitable (should be) it will use them for you automatically @DillonN Thank you so much this works quite nicely!! Amazing job! Also wanted to call out the following display item (which I am sure has already been discussed) Other than this, working quite nicely
|
|
@computeronix thanks for the good instructions and support! Yes I know of the clipping unfortunately I can't do too much UI editing because my version of Visual Studio messes up the whole UI when changing anything |
|
I have benchmarked everything that works for AMD, some items failed which i suppose i cant do bugger all about , right? So assume i just press start now and that is that? 3)To me the end-user, it seems just like the previous version, but if i understand correctly there is more intelligence built in to the profit-checking mechanism ? I really am a small fish but i am willing to donate to you guys: |
|
Yes if you've done a benchmark again pressing start should do it. Did any of the new entries such as "DaggerDecred" fail? There is some more intelligence in that it will take into account both the price of Eth as well as the secondary coin |
|
yes that one failed for me: do you want me to do all algorithms? and screen shot those for u ? |
|
So DaggerDecred fails? I can look into this more when I get home but try posting your logs |
|
i will get to this some time, sorry i have been very busy and ill with winter hitting us here. |
|
No problem! Stay safe and good luck with winter! |
|
why is there no option for zcash/ethereum dual mining? |
|
The DaggerHashimoto has only 3.5 MH/s on my GTX970, is this normal? |
|
@computeronix like @HyperCriSiS , i too am running a GTX970 with Windows 10 (64bit). the issue i'm having is a "Stratum_Subscribe timed out" error. For my drivers, i'm currently on the latest which is 382.53. @HyperCriSiS , what version drivers are you on? I'm honestly not sure what else to share since i'm green at this.
|
|
It looks like the miner can't reach the NiceHash servers, try disabling your firewall temporarily and see if that fixes it. Miner programs are often given a lot of shit by firewalls/antivirus since people like to use them in viruses (mine unknowingly on people's computers) |
|
@HyperCriSiS I'm not familiar with how a 970 does but I believe that is below the normal. What driver/OS are you using? Claymore has expressed some issues with newest drivers on Win10. Unfortunately the only Maxwell card I have to try is a 970m in my laptop |
|
Some people in the Gaco Mod repository told me that the GTX970 is not good for ETH mining. |
|
No I don't believe it is Some of the more NVIDIA friendly algos like Equihash, Lbry etc are paying well right now so I wouldn't worry about it |

@DillonN Quick question. I am currently Dual Mining DaggerhashDecred and the profitability varies by $3 usd a day on the GUI and website. Which one do I use?? Or does the GUI not take into account the second algorithm. Thanks |
This adds support for NHM to automatically switch the four different states of ClaymoreDual (just dagger plus dagger with three secondary coins) based on the profitability. The other three types of ClaymoreDual come up as their own miners (disabled by default) named as "DaggerDecred" etc. To keep UI modifications minimal I did not add any columns for secondary speed/profit, it is just displayed in the normal columns as [Daggerspeed]/[Secondaryspeed]. There is a new text box in the algo settings to change secondary speed though.
The API will get the correct data and show it on the main screen, however the string gets too long and cut into by "Rate". I'm not sure if this is just my system because it is high-DPI, but I cannot edit anything using the designers as it completely fudges up the numbers for everything else.
For technical details, I added the ability for an Algorithm object to contain a secondary algo type and speed. In order to not mess too much with the profit switching logic I also added a method that returns a tandem algo index, which are defined in the AlgorithmType enum as -5,-4,-3. This allows the profit switching to see the miners as different since they have the same base type and main algorithm type (dagger).
Benchmarking also works almost completely. Only problem is Claymore stops running if benchmark mode is off after around 2min if redirect output is true. It can't run in benchmark mode since only the ETH speeds are displayed.
I've been running this for around 2 weeks on my own personal rigs and there doesn't seem to be any problems. I do have multi card systems however I don't have any identical cards so I haven't tested that, but it should work fine as I updated the average logic to support the secondary speeds. It does really help to have it switch since Decred and Pascal are all over the place lately.
