Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v15.0 (Windows/Linux)

At least the restart is pretty fast.

The genoil.exe is a different size from what Genoil released. I highly suggest you replace the one in the download with the original version straight from Genoil's github: https://github.com/Genoil/ZECMiner/blob/master/releases/genoil-zec-miner-0.5.zip

Hi xardos any chance you can give us a little more info on how to configure and run this script, I used powershell to run it and changed the Arguments = to my address etc, but when I try running it, all I get is a dos box with some red writing in it flash up, then it quits pretty quickly (couple of seconds) back to the desktop, like nothing happened.

Not very familiar with powershell scripts, so any help is appreciated, I am running the Genoil miner from a desktop folder, under Windows 7 ultimate 64bit. Below is my config:-

do {
    Write-Host "Setting up process" -ForegroundColor Green
    [int]$global:count = 0
    [int]$global:countstr = 0
    [bool]$global:restart = $false
    $pinfo = New-Object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
    $pinfo.FileName = "genoil.exe"
    $pinfo.Arguments = "-c zec-eu.suprnova.cc:2142 -u hal1000.hal1 -p 1 -g 0 1 -k zec zec"
    $pinfo.UseShellExecute = $false
    $pinfo.CreateNoWindow = $false
    $pinfo.RedirectStandardOutput = $true
    $pinfo.RedirectStandardError = $false
    $process = New-Object System.Diagnostics.Process
    $process.StartInfo = $pinfo
 
    $OutEvent = Register-ObjectEvent -InputObject $process -EventName OutputDataReceived -Action {
   $global:countstr = 0;
        $stdout = $Event.SourceEventArgs.Data
        Write-Host $stdout
   if ($stdout.Contains(": 0.0S/s"))
        {
            Write-Host "--WARNING. PROCESS WILL BE RESTARTED SOON-- Count error:" $global:count -ForegroundColor Yellow
            $global:count += 1;
        }
        if ($stdout.Contains(": job not found"))
        {
            Write-Host "--WARNING. PROCESS WILL BE RESTARTED SOON-- Count error:" $global:count -ForegroundColor Yellow
            $global:count += 1;
        }
 
        if($global:count -gt 5)
        {
            Write-Host "--KILLING PROCESS AND RESTARTING--" -ForegroundColor Red
            $global:restart = $true
            $global:count = 0
            Stop-Process -processname genoil
        }
    }
    $process.Start()
    $process.BeginOutputReadLine()
    Write-Host "Process started" -ForegroundColor Green
    while (!$process.HasExited)
    {
        
   $global:countstr += 1;
   if ($global:countstr -gt 15)
   {
      $global:restart = $true
           $global:count = 0
                Stop-Process -processname genoil
      break;
   }
   Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
    }
}
while($global:restart)
$OutEvent.Name |
    ForEach-Object {Unregister-Event -SourceIdentifier $_}
Write-Host "Process finished"


Thank you

Firstly I'm going to release fast ZEC miner, not dual.
Please don't spam my PM, I don't send/sell pre-release version. As soon as it is ready, I'll make it public.
It's a lot of work to create a good miner, I think I will release first version in 2-3 days.

Nice too see you around again and thx for the updates looking forward to your zcash miner.  your 100H/s target is insane to work on but no doubt am sure a master like you will get this or exceed or come close to it.

Given how under utilised the GPU and FB/Memory Controller usage is on RX480/290x even when getting 35~45 sol/s I think 100 sol/s per card will definitely be attainable.

You're right, but you can enjoy low consumption at least for a few days

First just click on the powershell script(monitor_restart.ps1) and edit in your pool/username info and save it. Then type powershell in your search box in windows, right click powershell and run as admin. As it says in the readme: Start > Search ... type - "PowerShell" and Run as administrator. Copy this: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned   then control+v to paste it into the powershell window, then select A by hitting a on your keyboard.

This whole thing is set to be run from C:\ZECminer, but you can edit the Start.cmd file to point to wherever you have the files located. Boy that sounds tough. Short version, wherever you have ZECminer folder, go inside and right click the start.cmd file and replace the line cd C:\ZECMiner with where you folder is actually located. Mine for example is cd C:\Users\Me\Downloads\Zcash\ZECMiner

Then to start your miner simply click the start.cmd file.

100 sol's on a 390 holy b-jesus! Claymore, so glad to see you doing this.  You helped change the game for Ethereum mining now let's see what's capable for Zcash.  You again hopefully can set the bar.  As far as the other mining software and dev's you can't complain.  Most work well enough but this news makes their miners look like a cut/paste-youtube-lesson on c++. This coin isn't all hype it by far has years of research and development and a strong Dev team behind it.  Haven't been excited like this since late 2013.  Best wishes Claymore and thanks for the community support.

Thanks xardas - got it going with your help

my two rx 480 are reporting 24 MH/s each

Today I tried existing miners, I don't like their stability and speed.
Ok, I will release first version of my ZCash miner very soon. AMD only.

Great news!! Equihash + AMD currently equals bug city. And the primary coin is worth more than 1 btc, close to 2.

Agreed, to keep the miners running I had to use a script loop to relaunch them every 10 minutes
At least the restart is pretty fast.

care to share your script  please

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3wMsc4FJjyYjdjLVB4YnNIR2M/view

very nice & helpfull script to make my miner more have stabillity
but, sometimes i have dialog box says "genoil.exe has stopped working"..
if i closed that box, than miner run again..

https://s12.postimg.org/90v0cd6p9/GENOIL_STOP.png

and maybe can you make auto loading for this script:
example:
cd C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0
call powershell.exe
type Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
type Y
close

thanks and very apreciated for you

Hi!

For mining zcash and lbry togheter , work on v7.3 in windows x64 ?

I want mining on suprnova , lbry and zcash .

How should I create the .bat ?

I have for now 2x nvidia gtx 1070 on windows 10 x64 .

Thanks .

[tylerdurden366d6]

Big ups claymore !

Dev fee is a good idea

between these two what would you recommend?

Sapphire NITRO Radeon R9 FURY Graphics Card - 4 GB HBM - 4096-bit - 1050 MHz

or

Sapphire Radeon R9 390 NITRO Tri-X Graphics Card - 8 GB

or

Sapphire NITRO+ RX480 8GB AMD Graphics Card 1306MHz

Do this thread look like a Genoil's Zcash miner support thread ??!

@Xardas2014 By the way do we need to restart the miner every 10 to 15 min to lower the difficulty and make finding share faster?

ZEC I'm doing 42 sols/s per RX480 so my 5 RX480's are doing ~210 sols/s

Hotmetal - what miner are you using and what settings? Thanks

[Hotmetal]

Hotmetal - what miner are you using and what settings? Thanks

Genoil and using -k zec zec zec
(that will use close to 6 GB of ram on your GPU)

Having an i5 or faster and 8GB+ of RAM also seems to help.

I can get over 40sol/s on my RX480 in my i7 with 16gb machine. But in my dual core Pentium G3220 with 4GB RAM I only get about 30sol/s per card.

I've also noticed a performance boost by having the card in a 16x PCIe slot instead of 1x PCIe.  I would imagine PCIe generation differences also making a difference.
