Zcash GPU miner

[Tmdz]

I have an AMD zcash miner, win-only, stratum-only.

It does about 22H/s on a 390X now. I might release it but I'm afraid it needs more speed.

I think its close to what the jtoomin bros got with their 290. They got 25H/s if I recall correctly.

The ZOGMINER gets like 13H/s with the 470/480.

It's a little conflicting to figure out exactly what his current rates are.  

"We got 5 GPUs running simultaneously on one computer.  That gave us a single-machine solution rate of around 150 Sol/s."

We're now above 30 Sol/s on all of our cards in the testbed except the R9 Fury Nano. Our highest performing card gets a smidgeon over 35 Sol/s."

(post at start of topic) "The GPU miner completes one Equihash run in 47 ms (approx. 40.0 Sol/s) on an R9 290."

Regardless I think the community is in need of a good GPU miner and Genoil's miner @ 22h/s would give the rest of us a chance to mine.
Toomim Bros is going to keep his miner private and is using it for his own cloud mining network that he is selling currently at very high prices.

With Genoils miner we could have 22h/s power per GPU which would be equivalent to $1'264 of mining power for 3 months @ Toomim Bros could mining.  A single rig that probably already roi'd on from eth will give us a $6'300 investment at that could mining.

I really hope Genoil decides to release his version

Yes its ABSOLUTELY NUTS that people are paying those prices for Cloud mining.

As you might already know, NiceHash will support Zcash from day one (28th of the October).
We are pushing boundaries and working around the clock so that we can offer you something user friendly in the front but beast in the back.

Current tests are showing between 5 and 10 H/s for CPU miner. GPU development isn't far behind.
If all that won't be enough for you, you'll still be able to rent hashing power to mine Zcash - on demand and with no contracts.

Stay tuned as our testers say it's worth it.

I have 7.3Sols on a dual Xeon using nicehash completely unoptimized. Just as a reference.

Since you prob won't be selling it, I'd just release it and source and see what the community can contribute.

Is known how much hashrate is on the testnet?

Edit: Maybe more interesting: What was the peak until now (if known)?

If there was a sucker born every minute in the 1860's, there should be one born every 4-5 seconds now. :-)

That seems really low, the i7 supposedly gets close to 20 sols using Tromp

CPU solving us highly memory and clock frequency bound and doesn't scale with cores well at all.

It scales reasonably well, althouh obviously sublinearly.
1x dev1 = 6.2 Sol/s
8x dev1 = 25.6 Sol/s
on a 4Ghz i7. So more than a 4x increase from using 8 instances.

Yes its ABSOLUTELY NUTS that people are paying those prices for Cloud mining.

That right. The Cloud mining is 4-10 times over priced. So that is only for the people who do not know how to mine.

It's impossible to know if something is overpriced. Nobody knows the hashrate of the network for the next days and months and nobody knows the price of the next days and months and years.

there's a new competitor in town: https://github.com/mbevand/silentarmy

extract: "Performance

    45.7 Sol/s with one R9 Nano
    39.6 Sol/s with one RX 480

Note: the code is currently very poorly optimized; it makes zero attempts to keep the queue of OpenCL commands full, therefore one needs to run 2 instances of SILENTARMY in parallel on the same GPU to keep it well utilized."

You can know it is over priced as for the same cost, with your own mining rigs, your hash rate is 5 to 10 times higher.

my r9 380x cards do not work...

all shares rejected .... low difficulty?

any ideas why those cards are not working
?

other cards seem ok

I have RX 480 8GB, R9 380x 4GB, R9 280x 3GB and that miner would not run at all. It just kept crashing.

[cryptohunter]

anyone mining with r9 380x or is this miner at nice hash no good for that card?

Genoil-zec-miner-0.3.2 not working with R9 Nano on Win7 64bit. I tried with 15.12 and 16.9.2.

i am getting 11.5 sol/s
