Title: Equihash GPU mining on AMD.. when will it happen? Post by: elektrofreak on November 01, 2016, 07:48:03 PM Im curious if anyone knows of a fully functional general purpose opencl gpu miner for Equihash? If not is there a definitive date at which time the functionality will be available?
Nvidia users are able to mine, as are all CPUs. But those who have AMD cards are unable to utilize them to profit similarly or mine as part of any pool, only one according to the internet, and I don't mine there. Most other AMD users running on Windows are left high and dry playing the waiting game while nvidia users enjoy healthy profits, which to me should not have happened as it boils down to lost profits and therefore lost money. GPU miners should have been held out of public view until they were ready to run on devices from both manufacturers. As it sits right now I don't know if I'll ever be able to mine in Windows using amd, I've been told "they're working on it" which is all fine and good. Except for the lost profits which are very very bad. Professionals wouldn't have released a half-functional product and then left half the user base without any option except to watch everyone else rake it in. Thats very poor execution. I'm primarily referring here to Nicehash and the miners that are included with Nicehash Miner, its my main pool. Any info or update on this would be much appreciated! :-) Regards Title: Re: Equihash GPU mining on AMD.. when will it happen? Post by: YIz on November 01, 2016, 07:57:20 PM There are miners already.

I wasn't aware that there was a new Genoil release, I'll check it out even if it is buggy its better than nothing. Hopefully this all gets nicely sorted soon and we can gpu mine with simplicity.
