v1.7.4.4 no settings are applied Claymore CryptoNight

[bobiksamara]

I set the parameter "-a 3" of mining during the "-a 4"

[S74nk0]

@bobiksamara there is a BUG. It will be fix.

[bobiksamara]

when corrected?

[cesarreynab]

Also Claymore Zcash is not reading custom parameters

[blue-yu]

Stanko, is that a reason why I am getting 260H/s cryptonight on 750ti with 1.7.4.4 versus 280H/s with 1.7.4.3?

[S74nk0]

@bobiksamara today. @johiro What parameters aren't working? Our tests show that it does please give your case when it does not (open new issue). @blue-yu yes lower hash-rate is due to incorrect parameter passing (fix coming soon)

[blue-yu]

@S74nk0 Hvala. Imas pivo od mene :+1:

[S74nk0]

new version is out. This issue is resolved. Closing

[blue-yu]

Hm, there is still a problem with 750TI. 260h/s instead of 280h/s. I looks that --launch 8x40 is ignored even when I enter it manually. If I enter for example 8x39, than I got 8x40 for rest of cards. Also, it looks that "copy settings from" is not working :(

[S74nk0]

@blue-yu post the log to see if the parser isn't working or if the miner is correcting the input.

[blue-yu]

Here is the log:

@blue-yu the reason for this is that --launch=8x40 is the default and in the case of passing default values these are ignored (it is currently the way the parser works, for stability reasons). But this can be changed by the user now, if for example there are new miners and are copied over the bundled ones and the defaults are different there is an internals folder and this can be changed (more on this here). Now users can change/add new parameters and if you are concerned that the defaults aren't being passed just set the "Default": "8x40" to "Default": "", this way the parser will not ignore the Default empty setting and it will pass. There were many complaints when people were changing miners (manually or by the updates) and the default values weren't being always up to date. Now with this it is possible to make it working. I hope this helps. If the docs aren't clear let me know and we will improve it.

@blue-yu if you copy this over to internals (unzipped) you should be good :). Let me know if it helps

[blue-yu]

Hi again,

Maybe I don't understand how thing are working, but I want 8x40 that is working faster for my 750ti's. In json file there is default set to 8x40, but NHM is not using it. Here are logs again, with default settings:

So, You see that with the default it should be 8x40, but it is doing 8x20...

[blue-yu]

Again I must say that with 1.7.4.3 default is 8x40 and with 1.7.4.4 and 1.7.4.5 default is lowered to 8x20

[S74nk0]

@blue-yu yes that is because the default parameters aren't up to date. In the NiceHash Miner folder there is a folder named internals in that folder there are supported MinerOptionPackages in this case we are interested at MinerOptionPackage_ccminer_CryptoNight.json file. The default Launch in that file is set to 8x40 and this is not correct anymore it should be 8x20. To fix this one can edit the Launch option to change the Default value. This file MinerOptionPackage_ccminer_CryptoNight.zip has the Default set to 8x20, and when you copy it over the original 8x40 will get accepted by the parser.

So to fix this issue you only have to copy over the MinerOptionPackage_ccminer_CryptoNight.json in the zip file provided here over the current MinerOptionPackage_ccminer_CryptoNight.json in the internals folder. Make sure NHM is closed when doing this. After the next run of NHM the 8x40 will not be ignored. That will resolve the issue. The defaults have been corrected for future versions, but there is no need to wait for a new release. Just copy the file and it should work. Let me know if it helps.

[blue-yu]

Aaaa, ok I understand now. I copied json file, and then manually enter -l 8x40 parameter for all of my cards. It's working now. I Just don't understand why did You change from 8x40 to 8x20 since 8x40 is working faster for 750ti

[boby361]

Not sure if its still a bug. I have gone to cryptonight claymore_old folder. altered the bat and added -a 3 to the end of it. I have gone to the interals folder. edited MinerOptionPackage_ClaymoreCryptoNight.json (assuming it shares config with old) and altered the default to 3. still opens with 4. not sure what else to do. But it seems like this bug still exists.
