No other pools works as well.

# Frequently asked questions

(Sorted by most frequently asked)

## Can I run it in HiveOS ?

Yes. The Team Black miner was added on 22th October 2021.

## What is the best pools for this miner ?

Since, TBM can produce more than 1-2 % stales with high intensity (--xintensity), pools that reward stale shares is the best for this miner.

Also a high difficulty pool port is recomended with a high intensity setting.

Note that the ethereum blockchain rewards stale work/blocks. They are called uncle blocks. The uncle blocks are protecting the security of the blockchain.
**The ethereum blockchain pay 87.5% for level 1 stale shares. 6 levels of stale shares are payed, but the lower levels have a lower payout (lower level means later in time).**

Most mining pools reward stale work, but some have a buildt in limit of 5% allowed stales. So if you mine with more than 5% stales, the pools can start rejecting your shares
or ignore them.

for RX 6600 XT intensity setting is filled with what number?

can i give same number as settings you used on the GTX 1660 super?

or

I don’t know how to write code intensity?

Is it already correct?

can you give an example? thanks @Lukezen @aids

edwinst31 · November 5, 2021, 1:16pm

hello aids

can i see a screenshot of your “TeamBlackMiner configuration” settings on hiveOS ?

i want to see your settings clearly please help me

this my configuration

Lukezen · November 5, 2021, 1:24pm

Not sure what the 700 is about but its not listed in the correct range by TBM

I’m currently playing with different numbers to bring down stales

aids · November 5, 2021, 3:00pm

Better to increase the --xintensity and mine on 2miners.com

1 rtx 3090 running at --xintensity 3108 137MHASH poolside, 134.4 clientside

aids · November 5, 2021, 3:22pm

Amd cards should run good on 1/4 the xintensity as nvdia. So you can try --xintensity 777

You rock man, that FAQ solved my stale shares issue completely

–xintensity 24 (flexpool)

edwinst31 · November 5, 2021, 4:51pm

how about me?
I have been mining for 3 hours
2021-11-05_23h47_49

teamblackminer running screen

on 2 miner
2021-11-05_23h49_21

is there something missing?

I don’t know how to write –xintensity coding, I have 8 VGA, what should I do?

please help @Lukezen @aids thanks bro

edwinst31 · November 5, 2021, 4:55pm

so you are now using flexpool ???

I see you wrote –xintensity 24 (flexpool)

if using 2 miners, what number to use for –xintensity is -1 or 777 ??

Lukezen · November 5, 2021, 4:58pm

Hey Edwin

Yup I’m on flex

Put this in Extra config arguments:

-E [24,24,24,24,24,24,24,24]

Or

-E [-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1]

Lukezen · November 5, 2021, 7:25pm

Over 3 hours and only 2 stale shares

big improvement

Hello,

I am trying to build my first rig, and I have some problems with RX 6600 GPUs,

I have downloaded the newest Hive OS and successfully run Nvidia GTX 1660 TI.
Then I have tried to add the RX 6600. It crashes and restarts every few seconds, after DAG is generated:

GPU1 GPU1: DAG generated in 22.9 s (202.6 MB/s)
GPU1 GPU1: Unable to prepare kernels: clCreateKernel (-46)
wdog Fatal error detected. Restarting.

I don’t know if it helps but there is also one more error just after booting up: clBuildProgram(-11) (but it continues without restart).

I have tried unplugging Nvidia GPU, using RX 6600 XT, and also tried installing Hive OS beta image.
But the outcome is always the same.

Tried RX 580 and it does work.

AMD: A20.40 (5.11.0825)
Hive OS: 5.10.0-hiveos #60 (BETA)
phoenixminer: 5.8c

I have tested the ssd with the Hive OS image on different rig from my friend with 6 RX 6600 XT cards and there is the same error. He uses SimpleMining and it runs without problems.

Please help

diamondhands · November 5, 2021, 9:41pm

Okay, I have changed phoenixminer version to 5.4c and it works like a dream.

edwinst31 · November 5, 2021, 11:54pm

halooo

I would like to thank you beforehand, because you always reply and explain according to what I ask, and it really helps me, because I’m just mining for the first time, don’t understand much about config settings in hive os.
when you explain, there I began to understand and learn a lot about hive os settings.

have you ever used 2 miner when using teamblackminer before?

or do you always use flexpool?

and when using intensity (24 on flexpool) with VGA hashrate 34.5 mh/s each, do you feel more reward ??

Lukezen · November 6, 2021, 5:14am

I’m not a fan of 2miners

Flex or Ethermine

each pool requires it’s own tweaks which can be annoying

Example:

Ethermine loves intensity setup for nice even mining between cards but flex doesn’t seem to like any intensity set

edwinst31 · November 6, 2021, 5:39am

for now are you still using “–xintensity 24 in (flexpool) ??”

or have you deleted it? @Lukezen

sonic6 · November 6, 2021, 8:13am

Some tweaking Tipps for Cruxpool?

And how is your experience with the new stable 0.6-211?

catmusic · November 6, 2021, 8:57am

I figured out what the problem was. Pretty strange one. I am mining on my personal computer which already was dual booting windows and arch Linux. Hiveos is installed on a seperate ssd. I was using rEFInd boot manager to boot all three operating systems. If I boot from rEFInd I encounter the stuck memory clock on hiveos, but if I tap F11 at startup (msi mobo) and boot hiveos from grub, I am able to overclock the memory.

Lukezen · November 6, 2021, 2:19pm

xintensity setting per pool

-E [78,78,78,78] Seems to work well on Etherminer

Hello good afternoon, do you know what is the TBM configuration for hiveon? …
