Claymore DualMiner not stopping

[TheOnlyNexus]

Hey guys,

 

I just started mining Ethereum using the Claymore Dualminer, but when I close the command console, which is executing the mining program, it doesn't seem to stop. Is this normal? Or does it just take lots of time to close the program?

 

Thanks in advance!

What do you mean? What happens?

When I close the command console window, GPU still spikes at 100%, so I guess it's still mining or so.

I just want to mine Ethereum when I'm at work and game in the evening and until I do not know how to effectively close the program, I really do not want to mine, because I'm running it off my personal rig.

Thank you.

I'm not familiar with the program but it can be like some other programme if you hit the red x it keeps running when you go to the bottom right in the task bar. If so then there is prob a setting which sat stop program on closing window. 

 

*Edit* second thought maybe it finishes the block it is working on and then shut down the program?

Thank you. I'll just try it out again

Does it go down after a while?

No experience with miners whatsoever, but... I would assume that the quickest way to check would be to open task manager (ctrl-shift-esc) and see if an instance of claymore is still running. If it is, you should be able to kill it from there. If not, a simple reboot should do the trick?

The problem is that there is no visible program running on task manager, as it runs on the command console (it's basically a batch file, not a .exe)

From the command window it opens Ctrl + C should kill it right away.

You can open task manager and if EthDcrMiner is running you can end it that way, since that's the actual mining application.

If it doesn't close it can be for a lot of reasons, from a particular error on your pc or a problem in the code of the program to a virus or malware. i think is code related. You can kill the program just by closing your session.

Also if this is for the fans working 100% it can be for the remaining heat.
