Unable to dual mine Eth+Erg on the same rig [solved]

Yea when I first installed hive it worked but after updating a couple times seems like it became unstable I would get a bunch of diffrent errors.

That’s interesting. Both of my 5700xt rigs constantly reboot if I upgrade past 0.6-203, but I’m trying to dual mine on my Vega rigs. I wonder if downgrading would fix the issue… I’ll give it a shot when I have the time.

Heh, just ditched win10 to try my hand at ergo and eth on hive for better vega state locking, only found this post after 2 nights of trying to get trm and lolminer to hash eth and ergo respectively, but it’s good to know that shits broken on Hive for everyone so I can bugger off back to win10’s unstable-but-working dumpster fire.

I got it working again it started happening dual mining ergo and eth then yesterday it started happening with raven coin and eth today for both it would keep mining ergo while my gpus mining eth would just disappear on screen same thing started happening with raven coin an eth last night would keep mining raven and the gpu mining eth would disappear on screen throwing no restart messages etc so I hooked up a monitor to see if a error was being thrown I couldn’t see sure enough it was error process information pid 0 gpu 3 timeout said something like that so I downgraded and unhooked all risers off cards then replaced them on after that everything worked again no problems dual mining now they don’t disappear or crash it’s been 8 hours

What version did you downgrade to?

0.6-193@210118 I would unplug the risers from the cards the reseat them before downgrading that’s what I did it’s been about 10 hours still stable no problems changed flight sheets couple times to make sure it wouldn’t crash or throw any errors either so far only 1 rejected share within 8 hours

@kvng-ode is it still running? Could you post a screenshot of your flight sheet? I’m wondering which is your first miner and whether it’s mining Eth or Erg, and which is your second miner. Also, if you’re using Teamredminer, are you using -d 0,1,2 or --devices=0,1,2 to select the GPUs?

I use teamred for erg and gminer for eth also use same oc on all algos

Ran it for 24 hours with no hiccups I usually mine raven for one day then ergo then etc sometimes

I set up a flight sheet with Teamredminer on Erg and Gminer on Eth, and it works fine. No idea why I’ve been unable to get it working with Phoenixminer, SRBMiner, or Lolminer. My settings were no different than yours except I was trying to use a different miner. The problem with using Gminer to mine Eth is that my hash rate for the 5 GPUs using Gminer is around 55% of what I was getting with Teamredminer.

Alright I’ve got it working with some of the other miners. For some reason Teamredminer and Phoenixminer do not work together in a dual mining setup. I’ve got it working with SRBMiner, Lolminer, and NBMiner so far. I’m getting a 14-16% reduction in my Eth hashrates, but Lolminer seems to be the best.

How did you fix it?

I don’t really know why it started working. My guess is that I previously switched flight sheets from TRM/Phoenixminer to TRM/SRBMiner or TRM/Lolminer without rebooting, and the issues from Phoenixminer caused the others to mess up. I’ve been rebooting the rig every time I try a new flight sheet and it seems to work that way. I’ve had a couple issues with GPUs being dead and the rig not rebooting, or the rig freezing up and not rebooting, but I think I solved those issues with a script I wrote and it’s running fairly stable now.

I updated now it isn’t working again gonna try everything again to try and fix it.this always happens when I update!

Is it worth investing in rtx 3090 and mine eth until it goes PoS, and then switch to erg?

Way off topic and too many variables @ilkoTheTiger

From power consumption, no.
From retail cost+, no.
If you are are FPS gamer and a miner, maybe, but 3080’s are hard to exceed.
If you can only run one card, and cost is not a factor, yes.

I have a single 3090(112Mhs) to compare against, AMD VIIs. The (2) worst VIIs(91+94MH/s) are in the same price range and they exceed the single 3090. My best VII’s are air cooled at 99MHs+.

Best wishes in making weighing the variables which apply to your personal use case! :slight_smile:

For the price of that 3090 you can buy 3 580 8gb for cheaper and get around the same mh in eth but irk about ergo.I been getting 580s for 275-300 shipped

Does it worth it?
Can you share more information like tuning, settings, version, etc.

Right now it’s more profitable to mine Eth, as the price of Erg has gone down recently. And I seem to get a hashrate that’s approximately 15% less with lolminer or srbminer, so you have to factor that in as well. Here’s one of my flight sheets using trm/lolminer, with 4 GPUs mining Eth, and 4 GPUs mining Erg.

Not sure if you’re still having issues but one problem I noticed when trying to dual mine with phoenix miner and t-rex miner is that when specifying which GPUs should be mining on which algo, phoenix uses the numbering scheme starting at “1” for the first GPU, whereas t-rex uses the numbering scheme starting at “0” for the first GPU. For example, in phoenix miner I had to set “1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10” and in t-rex I had to set “8” for the ninth GPU. Hope that helps any.
