Miner randomly stops mining

[hmorrico]

If I try close it then it all of a sudden says miner thread hangs restarting miner. I have a feeling its got to do with trying to mine the Dev Fee portion as that was on the screen with the error. Here is a dump of the logs as well as my config files. If I have not included it here, then I have not changed it from the github download.

EDIT: To anyone having this issue here is my workaround.

Firstly, this is for windows only. If this problem is happening in Linux then there is something else wrong.
For windows, just use an autohotkey script to press "s" every 5 minutes. Then if the miner stops mining, the s will make it mine again.

+1. I have this as well. Often it hangs, pressing S will restart and make it continue. I tried fixing this by including a periodic restart in my bat file, but that doesn't work either. As in, it doesn't automatically restart.
ETH only mode for me, by the way.

Same, after dev fee close connection the thread freeze randomly.
-allpools 1 have a link with this problem ?
ETH only

Has been stable over the last weekend now, running 68hrs uninterrupted. Have you fixed it remotely..?

Edit: just checked status and it hanged right after.

[Obeyed]

I experience a similar problem, dual mining.
I get the following: DevFee: stop mining and disconnect
not sure why it does that. But seems like it continues right after.
Running in docker container with nvidia gpu.

im having a similar problem eth only, my cards work fine and mine fine but randomly itll just stop .. no text in the command prompt at all, then i hit ctrl + c and it resumes or restarts

any idea how that happens?

[Craig9080]

I can confirm that this bug is still present in 9.7. It occurred for me on 9.6 with ETH only and has now occurred for me in 9.7 with dual mining DCR as well as SIA along with ETH. I am running RX480s across multiple machines and this bug is present on all of them. All machine are W10 and running AM4 motherboards.

Interested to see if anyone found a solution to this other than autohotkey script provided by hmorrico

[kennym]

Same for me on a Rig with RX 480

[maximekl]

I resolved this issue, it was a problem with cmd.exe >> quick edition mode

Right click on the cmd window > property > uncheck quick edition mode

[sachin21]

Same here. and solved this issue. Thank you so much.

[agbarbosa]

It happened to me... is there a way to include some checking in the miner code?

[OrkunKasapoglu]

Same for me on version v10.0 and rig with GTX 1070 in eth-only mode now started again then apply @maximekl's suggestion I'll share the long time results. Thanks @maximekl

[ASDEFF]

Finally figured out that "Devfee - stop mining and disconnect" is the reason why my mining rig freezes. If @maximekl reply is right and my miner starts to work first time, i'll send him a really big beer via postal service.

I've had the same issue, miner appears to be working on screen but when I check nanopools tracker it shows i'm not mining. tried to uncheck the quick edition mode but it keeps automatically rechecking the box. Any advice?

[styelz]

I have 2 mining PCs both with RX570 cards running Win10. One PC works fine with a newer motherboard the other PC stops mining after some time but the miner is still running at 0MH/s all the time.

I was able to resolve this problem by setting "turn off screen after" to "Never" under "Power & Sleep" settings.
