Description of messages in the GMiner window

How to understand the messages in the GMiner window? Share statistics, mining status, and working parameters.

‍

What can you see in the miner window?

1. The name of the miner and its version.
2. The algorithm that is being mined (in our case ^Etchash — Ethereum Classic)
3. Commission of the miner's developer on a particular algorithm (in our case, the developer's commission may be different for different algorithms)
4. Information about which pool we connected to. Pool address, wallet address and name of the worker, and the password to connect.
5. Initial information about the settings of the miner. ^on — turned on, ^off — turned off:
   - ^{Power calculator} — power calculator;
   - ^{Color output} — display information in the miner's window in colors;
   - ^Watchdog — watchdog status (working or not);
   - ^API — status of external WEB interface to monitor the miner (included by miner argument --api);
   - ^{Log to file} — whether the logs of the miner are written;
   - ^{Selected devices} — shows the IDs of graphics cards, which are involved in mining;
   - ^Intensity — mining intensity;
   - ^{Temperature limits} — temperature limits at which the mining will stop, for example: ^90/120 — at core temperature ⁹⁰ or at memory temperature ¹²⁰ (or the hottest point of the graphics card), the miner will shut down.
6. Version of the graphics card driver.
7. Message about the connection to the pool, its address, port and IP.
8. ID of the work received from the pool, the current era of mining, and the complexity of the share on the pool (set by the pool).
9. Data about the graphics card: model, serial number ID, serial number PCIE in the system, the amount of VRAM, what kernel is used by the miner — ^{kernel #6 selected} (is set automatically by the miner, or by the user if desired)
10. A message that the graphics card has begun to form a DAG-file for the current epoch, the size of the DAG-file.
11. Message about successful creation of DAG-file in the graphics card memory, the time for which the file was formed, and the speed of generation. If at the stage ^{DAG - Verification}, you get the status not ^passed, but ^Error — check your overclocking or your graphics card. The DAG file was written with an error.
12. Message about successfully processed and verified share — ^{share accepted}, reports which graphics card found it, for what period of time was confirmed to the pool, the serial number of the share, and its average difficulty.
13. A brief summary of the mining process, the miner shows it regularly:
    - ^ID — the ordinal number of the card in the miner. Note that the countdown goes from 0.
    - ^GPU — graphics card model.
    - ^Speed — The rate of the graphics cards hash rate.
    - ^Shares — Ratio of all shares found by graphics card, where: ^8/0/0
        - ⁸ — The total number of shares accepted by the pool (accepted) of which;
        - ⁰ — rejected shares, most often due to Internet connection, or just late shares (stale) - someone decided the problem earlier. It will not be possible to get rid of them completely, but it is accepted that the "norm" is 1-2% of the total number of all shares;
        - ⁰ — damaged, incorrect shares — such shares appear in case of overclocking, graphics card error, memory failure. Graphics card counts wrong (2+2=5).
    - ^Best — the miner reports the recommended maximum complexity of the share, which can be processed by the graphics card.
    - ^Power — graphics card consumption in watts.
    - ^Efficiency — mining efficiency. The higher it is, the more efficient the card is mining. Calculated by the formula: ^{megahash*1000\watts=efficiency}.
14. Continued summary of the mining process (graphics card status):
    - ^ID — serial number of the card in the miner. Note that the countdown goes from 0.
    - ^GPU — graphics card model.
    - ^Temp — graphics card temperature, in degrees Celsius.
    - ^Fan — fan speed, in percents.
    - ^Core (Core Clock) — Core frequency, in megahertz.
    - ^Mem (Graphics Memory Clock) — memory frequency, in megahertz.
    - ^Kern (Kernel) — the software kernel, which is used for mining.
15. A summary of the mining from the pool:
    - The address of the pool, its port and IP address.
    - ^{Pool Hashrate} — hashrate on the pool. It may slightly lag behind the actual hashrate. The longer you mine, and the fewer rejected shares, the closer the number will be to the actual one. The pool does not include the rejected shares in the hashrate statistics.
    - ^Efficiency — the efficiency of mining on the pool as a percentage. The longer you mine and the fewer the number of rejected shares, the closer the number will be to 100%. Rejected shares will lower that percentage.
    - ^Share/Minute — the average number of shares found per minute of mining.
16. ^Uptime — the time of mining without interruptions, ^Electricity — the amount of electricity consumed during the mining, indicated in kWh (Kilowatt per hour)
