Socket was closed remotely (by pool)

miner 8 years ago updated by Niyamabrata 7 years ago 3

Hello


Yesterday I have just set up my first miner 3x RX570.

When I run Claymore's 10.2 miner (currently latest) everything looks fine but it gets an error every 10 or so seconds:

"Socket was closed remotely (by pool)

ETH: Connection lost, retry in 20 sec..."


This keeps happening all the time. I tried a few things, with no difference.


This is my config file:

-epool eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999
-ewal 0x47ce60d299ce011078___rest of the numbers___.Miner01/myEmail@live.com
-epsw x
#-dpool stratum+tcp://yiimp.ccminer.org:4252
#-dwal DsUt9QagrYLvSkJHXCvhfiZHKafVtzd7Sq4
-dpsw x
-esm 1
-mode 1
-tt 70
-asm 0


With this I just run EthDcrMiner64.exe. It gives an error.


I found on the internet that I can start it also with bat file, so this is bat file that I created on nanopool.org:


setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -ewal 0x47ce60d299ce011078a___rest of the numbers___.Miner01/myEmai@live.com -epsw x -mode 1 -ftime 10


I run it, still the same.


Since I am using a USB WiFi adapter, I thought it was a problem, so I plugged in ethernet cable. Then it didn't start at all. Miner would just stop at the beginning at the line: POOL/SOLO version.


Then I downloaded older version of miner: 10.1. Still the same.


This is some log that keeps showing more or less the same all the time:



ETH: 5 pools are specified

I also added a nanopool diagram to show you how hashrate bounces up and down.


Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.



Here is the chart

It seems that I can't upload images here. So here are two links to the same image:

One more thing worth mentioning: I installed an AMD driver for blockchain technology from the official website 

File name: Win10-64Bit-Crimson-ReLive-Beta-Blockchain-Workloads-Aug23.exe

You can see my post here.

Maybe its because the computer need more power, so it disconnect the LAN/WIFI connection. If you use Windows 10, there is an option on Device Manager-->Network Adapter/USB Adapter (Pick the connection you used)-->Properties-->Power Management, then uncheck -->Allow the computer to turn off this devices to save power.


This will make your connection always on even not enough power because of your GPUs.
