* There is no way to know if our wallet.dat/private keys are compromised, unless we always keep them safe guarded.
* The above holds true for any software we download and use.
== Troubleshooting ==
===All miners===
Symptoms:
====Crash on startup.====
Check if Antivirus/Windows defender has deleted your miner.exe file, check if the .exe file is still in your folder. Fix by setting an exception.
====Crash/reboot after some time====
Check the power limit for the cards, 65% - 85% is common. x16r algo spikes the power draw so we need headroom in available wattage. Remember that the TDP for a card is an average draw of the card and in short spikes the total draw can be much higher. This is why the GPU manufacturers recommends much higher watt PSU than the TDP listed wattage of the cards would otherwise suggest.
====Naming you Rig on the pool====
On yiimp type pools you can use the password field like:
-p c=RVN,TitanV
,a comma is used to separate arguments, do not use special character or spaces in your rig name. Other pools usually set name by WALLET.rigname like:
-u RT2r9oGxQxbVE1Ji5p5iPgrqpNQLfc8ksH.titanV
When troubleshooting it is helpfull to have pause at the end of our bat file, so you can see the errors from console.
ccminer -a x16r -o stratum+tcp://miningpanda.site:3636 -u RBjAZ4fgoXfMC1ujzs7XKreMxJAL1r9fhT.titanV -p c=RVN,titanv -i 20 -N 600
pause
====Suprnova gives error on launch====
Check that you have created a worker on their webpage and supplied a password.' -u LOGIN.worker -p x ',also check their getting started on rvn.suprnova.cc start page.
====Hash rate is changing/low====
This is normal as the x16r algo is changing 16 times in each block, determined by the last 16 bytes of the last block. We need to look at a 2-3 hour averages at least to get a better average hash rate to compare, try adding ' -N 600 ' at the end of your bat file, it increases the average reporting time (default is 30).
====Getting a lot of "rejected" shares====
A rejected share means 2 possibilities:
1. The submitted share was invalid (bad hash of good data). This is caused by a GPU error on your end.
2. The submitted share was stale (good hash of bad data). This is caused by latency or lost data over the network between you and the pool.
If you're tweaking your GPU a lot (customizing power/frequency/voltage/etc.) then try backing down a bit and see if you get less errors. You should also check to make sure connected to the closest pool possible (e.g., don't connect to a pool in Europe if you live in the USA).
===Nevermore / ccminer===
Symptoms:
====Crash on startup====
Check .bat file that name miner at the start is the same as the miner in your folder. Nevermore uses 'ccminer' 2.2.5 might be 'ccminer-x64'.
===Sgminer / Avermore===
Symptoms:
====Crash on startup====
try adding
--gpu-platform 1
or
--gpu-platform 2
Brianmct has a good Getting started wiki on [https://github.com/brian112358/sgminer-x16r/wiki/Getting-Started github]
====Long startup time====
First time sgminer starts it compiles a kernel for all the cards, it can take several minutes.
