Don't work optiminer recognise hd graphics card of motherboard and stops...
Use the --list-devices option to show all devices and their -c / -d params. Then choose the correct platform (-c) and list all the devices of that platform that you want to mine on (-d), e.g., $ ./optiminer-equihash --list-devices

Here is an example from log files

Have you considered that the user might just have used the wrong hash algorithm param when connecting to the pool? If the protocol is different it goes right away as an error on the first submit. I have tested all the pools listed on the first page. They all report shares mined with a wrong algorithm as correct back to the miner: $ ./optiminer-equihash -a equihash200_9 -s zer-eu.forgetop.com:2053 -u <...> -p x

It seems the pools internally filter those incorrect shares which is good. But they should be reported back to the miner as invalid. |

Your newer versions are under investigation after final versions appeared to produce wrong solutions. There are suspicions that those solutions could be back engineered to working state with proper actions applied from 3rd parties.
We currently direct everyone to use previous best working software as mysteriously old versions have disappeared from your github. At the same time when we have discovered this suspicious activity.
So, this is an accusation that my miner would try to cheat the users? This is a rather large claim. You better have some proof for that. It's the opposite, I actually reduced the fee from 2.5% (OptiminerZero) to 1% only in OptiminerEquihash. The older versions of optiminer are all on the new download site. http://download.optiminer.pl/optiminer-equihash-2.0.0.tar.gzhttp://download.optiminer.pl/optiminer-equihash-2.1.0.tar.gzhttp://download.optiminer.pl/optiminer-equihash-2.1.1.tar.gzhttp://download.optiminer.pl/optiminer-equihash-2.1.2.tar.gzgithub does not support well the hosting of large files. That's why the files have moved. As you know very well we do pay fees for it so we can use it as much as we like.
If it is a problem for you we can all stop using it reverting back to a modded ccminer until we can have a community miner software.
Needs create solutions and whenever there is a big need a big solution is always found. If we find ourselves without a good working miner we can always create our own.
There was no need until now.... Let me know if there is one?
Sorry, you are very wrong here. The existence of a fee does not mean you can use it like you want. You need to accept and adhere to the license to use it. What you say is like saying with a rental car you can do anything you want because you pay a rent. If you feel like writing your own miner, go ahead. Here is an example from log files
We thought a block was found but it was rejected by the daemon, share data: {"job":"d3a2","ip":"::ffff:x.x.x.x","port":2053,"worker":"t1xxxxxxxxxeL","height":236147,"difficulty":0.2,"shareDiff":"4596.03419805","blockDiff":1351.176112912,"blockDiffActual":1351.176112912,"blockHash":"0000007212f19755fb017650d29e3823cf44a2b5aca1cf90baa36f3152951c0f","error":{"unknown":"check coin daemon logs"}}

Hi All, this is a very interesting project - will try to support as much as I can.
I have a 8x1060 3GB currently mining Equihash/Ethash/Neoscrypt algos I will switch to mining ZER.
However, Optiminer only has a 4GB option for WIN. Can I mine ZER with my rig if I just increase the virtual memory?
No, the Zero mining algorithm is very memory intense. For full speed you need cards with at least 6GB. Cards with only 4GB get about half the speed. 3GB cards do not work. Increasing the virtual memory does not help with that, sorry. |

So much noise, hatred and false accusations in this thread now  Guys, please focus on positive things again, put your energy into advancing the coin, not throwing accusations left and right! Zero TEAM has IDENTIFIED some serious problems in the latest releases of the mining software
In most cases the versions after Optiminer 2.0 have been reported to give 50% less solutions leading to smaller rewards
People using the software in the first page of this ANN have the correct full solutions
It is the first time I hear about this problem. If you can show any evidence of lower solution rate, please file a bug report following https://github.com/Optiminer/OptiminerEquihash/blob/master/reportbug.mdJust spreading such claims at random places in the internet will not solve the problem. I have been using version 2.1.2 for a few weeks now with stable solution rates. Before using the miner you should read the license. Pool operators, note: Distribution to 3rd parties is not permitted. This means, you are not allowed to offer any version of Optiminer for download! The only legal source for getting Optiminer are the ones linked from github. If you want to have your pool listed in the start scripts, just send a github pull request to add it. |

hodl.optiminer.pl downThe DB size grew to >4GB which it was not prepared for.  Originally, I set up this mining pool when there was no pool available as due to the forced locking of coins for 1 year. This is no longer true and there are alternative pools again. As I do not have the time that would be required to run and monitor the pool at a professional service level, I do not intend to bring the pool back up. I will work on restoring the DB and paying out the outstanding balances in the next weeks. Thanks for all the mining and don't forget to hodl your coins!

Version 2.1.0 released!Please see github for details. https://github.com/Optiminer/OptiminerEquihashThis version fixes some problems and brings compatibility with more cards. The next big target will be to rewrite the kernel for CUDA to better support Nvidia cards. This will happen before a first windows release. Why? The experience of OptiminerZero has shown that the current OpenCL solution works very poorly under windows. Therefore, releasing a windows version at the moment would not be much worth and therefore a waste of time. Happy mining! I've downloaded your links but recieved same old version (2.0.0) ... I've only amd rx580 rigs , shall we do better to change optiminer version ? thanks a lot dev. The update link in the readme was still pointing to the old version. Try again now. |

Bad news: Your CPU is likely too slow to fully unleash the mining powers of all your GPUs.
The next version of optiminer will throttle the GPUs when it detects that the CPU cannot validate all the solutions found (there is no point in producing more solutions on the GPUs than the CPU can consume).
Is validating shares on CPU really necessary? ps: it seems --pci-mode 0 solved my crash/hang problem. Validating is not fully correct. Actually the most work is computing the sha256d of the resulting solution to see if it is below the diff target. This could of course also be done on the GPU. Maybe in a future version. Switching to CUDA for Nvidia cards seems more important. |
