Any indications on what difference, if any, there are on RX-series cards running ETH optimized BIOS (1500 straps) vs running stock. Is there a better route to go with BIOS mods for this algo?

I will almost guarantee that slow roll ends considerably sooner than they say it will.
And.... the thread caught Claymore's eye! Look forward to see what you come up with, you are a mining software pioneer!

Four days until genesis. Come on Claymore!!!

3. Clear CMOS
You mean - remove battery/jumper short? I mean clear the CMOS by moving the jumper to the clear position.... then back. Should be referencedd in your mobo manual. |

I've had no problems running 6 GPU rigs with cheap celly cpu's on Win10:
1. Install windows with only 1 GPU.
2. Shut down and attach all 6 GPU.
3. Clear CMOS
4. Boot and install graphics driver
5. Everything works
After much frustration getting to this point - clearing the CMOS is imperative. Hope this helps someone.

So you have entered your code into the open source miner contest AND you are collecting BTC to release the code?
How on Earth is there ANY benefit of donating to you to release your code? Your code will be available to anyone since it has been entered into the contest?!?! This makes no sense.
Please make your own thread on that topic, this thread is to see who is interested in Claymore making a Zc miner.
Read the topic. He refunded most of who donated. I'll save myself the minutes and take your word for it. Again, make a new thread if you want to discuss the open source contest or this donation whatever-it-is thing. |

Why aren't you joining the open source miner contest? |

The block reward is very little during launch, it will increase slowly, so there is no way you can make extra money by mining it early.
After a month or so it will settle off and most likely profitability will equal to that of ETH.
Look at what happened with XMR and its difficulty. It double/tripled in price and within hours miners started shifting their rigs. Same thing happened with LBRY, same thing happned with SIA.
This coin won't make any miners any richer, all it will do is dampen ETH difficulty for a short while. The people that will benefit from ZCash are the founders, investors, miner developers, cloud mining operation, and pools.
I am not confident the slow rise will go as published. Have seen time and time again where DIFF is gamed and the early blocks go much more quickly than anticipated. Being in position to mine early is where I'd like to be. |

You do realize that Zcash will bring more or less the exact same profitability as Ethereum does right now.
Only good thing is if the market cap is large enough then ETH difficulty curve might slow down.
What are you basing that assessment on? It isn't even out yet... let alone listed on a market. ETH will go POS eventually. ... |

The prize is $10000 for each miner and it has to be open source. Good luck getting Claymore involved...  That amount of $10,000 is too low for Claymore. I believe that he earned hundreds of thousands from his miners. There are countless people who will compete for the development, he's not the god of miners. Don't recall raising Claymore to deity status, perhaps I was drunk and forgot about that post... The fact is, he has done well with ETH and XMR miners. No reason to believe he wouldn't build a competitive / enhanced miner for equihash (Zcash) as well. As of now, there are no publicly available GPU miners for this algo. So a 99% dev fee would be better than what is available.. |

Didn't bother me with ETH, won't bother me with Zcash! eh you can't have both, if it is open source, a fee will be useless Don't know if I am explaining this well enough - of course Claymore would be closed source with a dev fee like his other miners. He wouldn't qualify for the "Open Source miner contest" if he used his to-date business model. |

The slow roll in rewards might not make it that big of a deal to get in early or not. But the forced scarcity may create some great selling opportunities for early mined coin. I'm wanting to get in from the start.

prize $ & devfee, no happy, i vote for w0lf !
It would have to be open source to get the prize. That is not likely for a dev fee miner. |

Hoping AMD since those are all I own. But I suppose that is up to the miner code.

I'm getting 25-27 mh/s stable on the 4GB RX 470s using modded BIOS. Could get a bit more out of them but its nice to not have to worry about rigs crashing while I am away - negating the small bump in hashrate.
The 8GB models are 28-29 mh/s - stable.
These speeds are running Claymore's dual ETH miner with DCR (-dcri 30, just leaving it stock).

There is a 30,000$ contest for an opensource GPU miner. many people are going to send their miners and I'm sure one of them is going to deliver a great product.
Claymore's miners are easy to use, well-designed and stable, but I still prefer an open source one.
$10k of that goes to the winning GPU miner, not all $30k |

That's a fair stance. There are plenty of open source ETH miners available - but Claymore's still gets wide usage. Why? Because it is a superior product. The only reason I see him sitting on his hands with a Zcash miner is because it will pull hash away from his ETH miner - that's understandable since he's put a lot of effort into the dual ETH miner and wants a return. Just hoping he gets motivated to get on the Zcash train before too long!
