My second ZEC + XMR+ ETH thread builds info links thoughts and photos.

I hate days like today when the miners act out all day..

my genoil 0.5 crashed on flypool all 0 sols, i am back to eth.
Feels so stable and nice  .
Not so lucrative, of course.
zec also crashed to $1000, now at $1100 from $1700 earlier.

i fixed the problem with a new script.
it now monitors for fail jobs and 0sols
restarts if more than 5 counts

how are you monitoring for the fails?  Do you pipe the std out to parser, or is there something better/easier that that?

Genoil is crashing quite a bit.

Genoil is crashing quite a bit.

That's true

But sometimes can work up to 5-7 hours very stable - no idea what affects on it

I am trying an experiment with my i5 6500t four rx rig.

I set virtual memory to 320000 - 640000 .  Now this pc has a 1tb 2.5 inch Samsung had.

This allows the paging file to use up to 640 gb. So if I am correct it will take a long time to fill the page file.

It may mean larger Hdds are better for genoil along with better CPUs.

So I will report back on this. Idea

I updated to v0.5 and used johnlee's script to reset the miner every 5 hours (I changed this to every 3 hours now).
After a while, I see weird stats on flypool... so i swicthed to nanopool (atm, half the hash size of flypool) and so far so good.... keep finger's crossed

I noticed that less power consumption mining ZEC and overall temp in my warehouse is down 3-4c.

So my overall operations cost will go down.

1k ZEC vs 11$ ETH, is still attractive to profit hunt ZEC.

How big is your virtual memory in advanced settings?

If you can do 16000 to 32000 it should be good.

I just happen to have a miner with a 1 TB hdd so I figured I try a huge virtual memory.

I used the standard Claymore Dual Miner settings 16gb vram minimum, all my rigs are 8GB RAM.

I noticed that the stability improved at Nanopool.... hmmm, I dont see why Genoil is acting up at Flypool.

[vg54dett]

Following your advice , I switched to Nanopool and I get less problem too.
Don't understand why.

Do you keep stock settings for the GPUs while mining ZEC ?

I heard that memory clock and core clock are not improving hashrate ?

My RX470s are doing only 25h/s , and people seems to get better hashrate than me. I'm asking myself if there is something to set better.
(in case it helps to compare, those GPUs did 25mh/s for ETH at stock setting (modded) and 27.5mh/s with memory overclocked.)

[QuintLeo]

Played with clock settings a bit on my 1070 rigs, memory seems to affect the hashrate a little but core clock doesn't seem to matter.

Looks like ZEC is intensely memory-subsystem limited, like ETH but perhaps a bit more so.


 Also played with running the DNet client (which is intensely core-limited and uses almost no memory) on one machine for a while - didn't change sol rate noticeably, nor power consumption, but the dnet side was VERY VERY slow.

I'm using modded rx 480. There is no dependence on OC or original settings on genoil crashing. Just buggy software

i have nanos, 480s and 390s.... my best performing card with genoil-v0.5 so far is the 390s 8gb but the 480s are running 6 x GPUs below 700watts and significant temp reduction

My 6x RX 480 rig does 168H/s and consumes ~520W from the wall

I ran overnight with zero issues  setting of min 320000   max 640000

note the one rig is gpu the others are cpu



this chart show the whole pool's hash rate.   I am color blind  but I think the USA  color was stable over night  or the Chinese color was stable  some help on this would be nice.

although my 480s can go as high as the 390s around 174-175Mhs to 390s 150s/180s with 5 and 6 GPUs..... 168Mhs with 520watts is very impressive!

Interesting how this top CPU will mine?

Intel Boxed Core i7-6900K Processor (20M Cache, up to 3.70 GHz)

I need a home desktop and have everything except MB, CPU and RAM - so looking on this one

wow -- isn't this a thousand dollar CPU?

would a 2-3 GPU rig with i5, probably wont cost more than the CPU its self?

Yep - 1000$

MB has 6 PCI connections - so theoretically one can later build a rig around. If 1 core can mine 20H/s only CPU will give 160H/s

So buying RAM, CPU and MB will cost ~1500$
