Few days ago i was showing you how to mine Ethereum Classic (ETC) and what miner to use, also my recommendation was Claymore’s Dual Miner.. you may ask “why claymore? it has developer fees etc”.. well.. like no other miner Claymore’s miner has the dual mining feature and the fees are very minimal 1% .. basically you can mine two coins at the same time. For example you can mine Ethereum (ETH) or Ethereum Classic (ETC) and Decred (DCR), Siacoin (SC), LBRY Credits (LBC) or (new added) PascalCoin (PASC) at the same time without altering ETH / ETC hashing speed at all.. with just a little more power usage you can earn even more, but there will be another 1% dev fees for using the dual mining feature.
So we have
#1 Claymore dev fees of 2% and
#2 mining pool fees 1%, a total of 3% in fees.
Not much 🙂
In this tutorial i will show you how to mine Ethereum / Ethereum Classic and Decred, Siacoin, LBRY Credits or the newly added PascalCoin with Claymore’s Dual Miner!
How much can i earn with the dual miner?
With Claymore’s Dual Miner you can mine Decred (DCR), Siacoin (SC), Lybr (LBC) as secondary altcoin. Let’s say you have a RX 470 4gb rig and your hashing speed for Ethereum and Ethereum Classic is 22.xx Mh/s per card at stock settings, then the hashing speed for the other three coins will be
- Decred: 321 Mh/s* (x6 1,926 Mh/s)
- Siacoin: 390 Mh/s* (x6 2,340 Mh/s)
- Lbry Credits: 30 Mh/s* (x6 180 Mh/s)
- PascalCoin: 145.6 Mh/s* (x6 870 Mh/s)
Before to get started with the tutorial showing you how to mine Decred, Siacoin or LBRY Credits as secondary coin along with Ethereum and Ethereum Classic using Claymore’s Dual Miner, make sure you have the best hardware for your mining rig, if you don’t have one yet and you plan to build one, here is the best configuration
Now that we have cleared this aspects, let’s start with the mining. For this tutorial i will use the following specs:
- 3x Asus Strix OC AMD Radeon R7 370 4GB GPUs, rig components
- AMD Drivers 16.9.2
- MSI Afterburner or Wattman/GlobalOverdrive
- Binance account for wallet
- Claymore’s Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v7.4 (Windows/Linux) DOWNLOAD AND MORE HERE
Note that my hashing speed will be very low
Let’s get started!
A) How to mine Ethereum (ETH) or Ethereum Classic (ETC)
1 How to mine Ethereum (ETH)First of all we will have to create the standard files for mining Ethereum or Ethereum Classic only, after that will add the codes for dual mining options.
Mining Ethereum (ETH) only configuration:
- Extract the files from archive (if you did not downloaded the miner yet, click here)
- I am going to use https://ethermine.org/ pool for Ethereum
- Create a “New Text Document” inside the extracted folder and paste the following code: EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal <Your_Ethereum_Address>.<RigName> -epsw x
- Replace <Your_Ethereum_Address> with your wallet key, <RigName> with your rig name and also eu1.ethermine.org:4444 if you are not located in EU, go to https://ethermine.org/ home page for full pools list.
- Save the file as .bat and name something like “ETH.bat“, we are going to add later the Decred code for dual mining, however if you run the bat file it will start mining Ethereum only, so if you want to get going with this only feel free to run it.
Mining Ethereum Classic (ETC) only configuration:
- I will use again ethermine for ETC but this time the url is different, here is the link: https://etc.ethermine.org/
- Create again a "New text document" inside the mining software folder and paste the following code: EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1-etc.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal <Your_Ethereum_Address>.<RigName> -epsw x
- Replace <Your_Ethereum_Address> with your wallet key, <RigName> with your rig name and also eu1-etc.ethermine.org:4444 if you are not located in EU, go to https://etc.ethermine.org/ home page for full pools list.
- Save the document as .bat and name it ETC.bat
- Run it if you want to mine Ethereum Classic (ETC) only
Now that we have your mining files ready, let start to setup the dual mining feature for each.
B) Ethereum (ETH) & Ethereum Classic (ETC) dual mining Decred (DCR)
1 Preparing Decred Wallet and Mining Pool- #1 Create a Decred (DCR) wallet, you have two options, one is to create a wallet online https://wallet.decred.org/, or to download it from here https://github.com/decred/decred-binaries/releases/, for a easier download, select one of this two (64-bit ↓, 32-bit ↓), (Mac ↓, Linux ↓), i am going to use the online version found at https://wallet.decred.org check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HigoCaap-aE
- #2 Another way to create a wallet key for Decred is to signup with https://poloniex.com/, then go to “Deposits & Withdrawals“, the search form type “decred” then click on “deposit” and it will generate a new key.
- Go to https://dcr.suprnova.cc and create an account if you don’t have one
- Then go to “My Account” ->”My Workers” and create a worker
- Add your wallet key in to your “Payment Address” by accessing “Edit Account“
- Go to Claymore’s Dual Ethereum+Decred_Siacoin_Lbry AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v7.4 folder, then copy the ETH.bat/ETC.bat file and paste it in the same folder, the system will automatically create a copy of the file that we created earlier, something like ETH – Copy.bat/ETC – Copy.bat.
- Rename ETH – Copy.bat/ETC – Copy.bat to something like ETH+DCR.bat/ETC+DCR.bat
- Right click on ETH+DCR.bat/ETC+DCR.bat, and click “Edit“
- Right after -epsw x, paste the following code -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:2252 -dwal USERNAME.WORKER -dpsw PASSWORD
- For username, worker and password use the details from suprnova account.
- The final code for ETH+DCR should look like this: EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal walletkey.rigname -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:2252 -dwal username.worker -dpsw password
- The final code for ETC+DCR should look like this: EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1-etc.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal walletkey.rigname -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:2252 -dwal username.worker -dpsw password
- All set, run the bat files and it will start mining ETH or ETC and DCR at the same time

Remember that i have a very low hashing speed with this cards
C) Ethereum (ETH) & Ethereum Classic (ETC) dual mining Siacoin (SC)
1 Preparing Siacoin Wallet key and Mining Pool- #1 First of all download the latest wallet version here: https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia-UI/releases/
- Extract the files and start the Sia-UI.exe file, follow the registration steps and your a done.
- Click on “Receive Siacoin” and your wallet key will popup
- #2 Another way to create a wallet key for Siacoin is to signup with https://poloniex.com/, then go to “Deposits & Withdrawals“, the search form type “siacoin” then click on “deposit” and it will generate a new key.
- Go to https://sia.suprnova.cc/ and create an account if you don’t have one
- Then go to “My Account” ->”My Workers” and create a worker
- Add your wallet key in to your “Payment Address” by accessing “Edit Account“
- Go to Claymore’s Dual Ethereum+Decred_Siacoin_Lbry AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v7.4 folder, then copy the ETH.bat/ETC.bat file and paste it in the same folder, the system will automatically create a copy of the file that we created earlier, something like ETH – Copy.bat/ETC – Copy.bat.
- Rename ETH – Copy.bat/ETC – Copy.bat to something like ETH+SIA.bat/ETC+SIA.bat
- Right click on ETH+SIA.bat/ETC+SIA.bat, and click “Edit“
- Right after -epsw x, paste the following code -dpool stratum+tcp://sia.suprnova.cc:2786 -dwal USERNAME.WORKER -dpsw WORKERPASS -dcoin sc
- For username, worker and password use the details from suprnova account.
- The final code for ETH+SIA should look like this: EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal WALLETKEY.RIGNAME -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://sia.suprnova.cc:7777 -dwal USERNAME.WORKER -dpsw WORKERPASS -dcoin sc
- The final code for ETC+SIA should look like this: EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1-etc.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal walletkey.rigname -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://sia.suprnova.cc:7777 -dwal USERNAME.WORKER -dpsw WORKERPASS -dcoin sc
- All set, run the any bat files and it will start mining ETH or ETC and Siacoin at the same time

D) Ethereum (ETH) & Ethereum Classic (ETC) dual mining LBRY Credits (LBC)
1 Preparing LBRY Credits Wallet key and Mining Pool- #1 The fastest way to create a wallet key for LBRY Credits is to signup with https://poloniex.com/, then go to “Deposits & Withdrawals“, the search form type “lbry” then click on “deposit” and it will generate a new key.
- Go to https://lbry.suprnova.cc/ and create an account if you don’t have one
- Then go to “My Account” ->”My Workers” and create a worker
- Add your wallet key in to your “Payment Address” by accessing “Edit Account“
- Go to Claymore’s Dual Ethereum+Decred_Siacoin_Lbry AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v7.4 folder, then copy the ETH.bat/ETC.bat file and paste it in the same folder, the system will automatically create a copy of the file that we created earlier, something like ETH – Copy.bat/ETC – Copy.bat.
- Rename ETH – Copy.bat/ETC – Copy.bat to something like ETH+LBC.bat/ETC+LBC.bat
- Right click on ETH+LBC.bat/ETC+LBC.bat, and click “Edit“
- Right after -epsw x, paste the following code -dpool stratum+tcp://lbry.suprnova.cc:6256 -dwal USERNAME.WORKERNAME -dpsw WORKERPASSWORD -dcoin lbc
- For username, worker and password use the details from suprnova account.
- The final code for ETH+LBC should look like this: EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal WALLETKEY.RIGNAME -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://lbry.suprnova.cc:6256 -dwal USERNAME.WORKER -dpsw WORKERPASS -dcoin lbc
- The final code for ETC+LBC should look like this: EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool eu1-etc.ethermine.org:4444 -ewal walletkey.rigname -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://lbry.suprnova.cc:6256 -dwal USERNAME.WORKER -dpsw WORKERPASS -dcoin lbc
- All set, run the any bat files and it will start mining ETH or ETC and LBRY at the same time
If you notice low hashing speed on ethereum, change the intensity in runtime with “+” and “-” keys and check current statistics with “s” key.

That's it 🙂
I think the best coin to mine as dual is Siacoin or LBRY Credits, currently it is the most profitable and you can get around $30+ monthly, extra cash for electricity bill 😉

Hey very nice tutorial, could you update the siacoin part for me? The siacoin pool is not availible anymore. I got 4x a 470 8G NITRO+. Thanks in advance
The miner is only seeing one card how can I get it to read the two? I’m using windows 10
in device manager are both cards installed ?
No I’m sure it’s one
maybe is something to do with the motherboards.. maybe some bios modification will fix it
I went through the bios and the pci are enabled idk where else to configure unless I’m obviously doing something wrong
Can you tell me your board and gpu?, i am pretty sure either one of your riser is broken, or you are using wrong pci-ex slots. You cant put 2 cards randomly in pci slots, one has to go to x16 slot other to x1 slot check your via switching their places on board, if risers work then try to put one riser onto x16 (to the one closest to cpu) and other to an x1 next to that
Gpu sapphire nitro rx 470 oc motherboard z97 anniversary asrock
I was using ethos and had two showing. But ciprian recommends windows 10, so I finally got to it so plus I wanted to dual mine.
did you check your risers? I checked out your boards layout, you should put your GPUs to GEN1. Go To Advanced>Chipset Configuration>PCIE2 Link Speed set it to GEN1.
Disable “AdvancedTrusted ComputingSecurity Device Support” if its enabled. There are what i would do first anyway.im pretty sure i saw in forums on how to setup z97 anniversary board. It shouldnt be hard at all to install 2 GPus though, even crappy boards under 50$ support 4GPUs directly just by installing them on board lol.

Yup I have done that and the layout the same.
@Baseball5coach:disqus you can use any RX 500 series together, be it sapphire, msi, gigabyte. But it will be a headache, because you will have to set up their clocks, voltages one by one in Claymore config file 🙂 I have mixed RX570 ITX, RX580 and R9 290x OC together they worked lol. (R9 290x just a power hungry beast barely good enough for mining)
Thanks for your assistance I was able to get it. Another question, would I be able to use different AmD type of gpu’s with the sapphire gpu I have. I ask cause I can’t find the sapphire gpu anywhere now and I will have different gpu on one rig.
I just know I can’t mix nvida w/ Amd?
Thank you again @kratkonak:disqus for answering to their questions, i was and still am busy :/ @Baseball5coach:disqus
@ciprianpt:disqus i am just giving back to the community what i learned from you mate, you’re welcome 🙂
thanks man! 😀
Are they both on board or are you using risers? If risers, i would try to put them on board first and see what happens. If they are on board, try to remove drivers using DDU in safe mode. Shut down. Plug HDMI onto one of the GPUs start the rig. Then install their drivers, this kinda thing happened to me once when i was having both GPUs on board, solved this way.
I have them both on risers and only one shows up. But I will try and put them both on the board
I cannot connect to the sia coin via stratum. I get this:
SC: Stratum – Cannot connect to sia.suprnova.cc:2786
make sure you check pool recommendation, if not try nanopool.
Thanks! Went to nanopool and its working perfectly now. Although if I leave the computer alone for a few hours, it will drop the hashrate. GPU clock will drop from 1200 to 300 on my RX480. If i restart the miner, it’s back to normal…
Try mine config: Config Copy & Paste:

when I run ETH + DCR the pc crash and restart :'(
what clocks ? lower overclock 🙂
Can I just check, I am mining with 5 x rx 480 8gb ETH+SC
I am getting 27Mh/s (ETH per card) and 590Mh/S (SC per card).
It is taking around 900w off my wall.
These are with modded bios 1750 to 2000 strap and Trixx setting as 1160 and 2000 memory clock with -97mV.
Do you think this is the best I would be able to get from my mining rig or can I do better electricity or hash wise.
Comment appreciated.
hi, you can increase memory up to 2150 with 1130 gpu clock.. also if using trixx try undervolting more gpu clock like -150/175 mV , also what dcri?
Hi,
My trixx undervolting is around -97mV, not sure how much low can I go with dual mining.
my dcri is at 23 atm.
I will try your memory and gpu clock suggestion and get back to you.
Do you think 1500 strap is better or shall I leave it as it is?
For 480 8GB the 1750 is the best.. start with default dcri which is 30 and slowly decrease it and watch for differences..
hi.. is it possible to mine ethereum and ubiq coin with dualminer?
nope
I wonder if this mining tutorial can use for Nvidia cards or not. waiting for your reply xD
Yep, almost same configurations 🙂 only fan control and clocks is not available directly from .bat file.
DCR: Stratum – connecting to ‘dcr.suprnova.cc’ port 2252

got this message..please help
can i mine eth n etc under one batch file
Nope…
Hello, i cant get the same lbc that u say. Im getting 17 lbc week with 5*rx580 gpu dual mining . Did lbc get a big fork? Or what happen? :s
Have you played with dcri (intensity) ?
no, i dont change the -dcri op, i think the default is 30. but that changes the ETH intensity to? u think i need to change that and cheak the diference?
try to play with dcri by pressing – or +, check how hashrate increases or decreases and find the sweet spot
I changed my to 55 and i get 150~152 ETH and 5000 DCR but stil dont get that payment that i had. Im december i dual with lbc and get more than 200 but im january i only get 17 im 2 weeks so samething happen :S. i will try sia now to see if i get more profit
PS: Congrats im your project, this platform is the best and most precise im values that we miners realy need.
Best luck in your project
for eth dcr i use 26 or 23, 55 is too high, unless you want to mine more decred 🙂
im 2 weeks i mine 0.2 DCR with my rig -.- so thats not the problem and with my -dcri 55 i get not alot more than last week
something is wrong and im stil searching. Today i will change to dual SIA or just farm ETH to see the diference. my frist month i got more than 200 LBC and now i cant get 50 im the same time…
