Community Call for Claymore Zcash GPU Miner Development

[MantaMine]

@Claymore, great to see you getting involved with ZCash!  It's relieving to have a miner on the horizon that doesn't require constant babysitting of rigs and/or bat files that restart the software every 10 minutes.  I've actually just gone back to mining ETH until a better miner comes out, gladly will pay a % to the dev, good news!!!!!!

I have a batch file that reads this.

Code:

@echo on
taskkill /f /im genoil.exe
timeout /t 2
genoil.exe -c zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -u miner.name -p password -P 0 -g 0 1 2

I than put this in my task scheduler to run this batch file every 10 minutes.  Damn it's doing really good. Not only that if you tell it to run even when not logged in the console window is hidden.  I than setup a trigger for startup and login.  This way if someone does reboot my system than it will start back up.

Do you mind outlining your entire procedure with task scheduler ? I haven't used it in ages and would rather not reinvent the wheel. My genoil craps out every so often - but it's your setup that allows the miner to resume on reboot that I am particularly interested in.

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.

Good prediction based on solid facts...  Changing your tune there adaseb?

Sure.

General Tab: Run whether user is logged on or not (note console will be hidden with this command)
Triggers: 2 different triggers.   One for System Startup and the other for Log on of any user
action: Start a program (point to batch file. make sure you have the start in point to that directory or batch file will not run)
Conditions: As long as any network connection is available
Settings: allow task to be run on demand; Run task as soon as possible, run a new instance in parallel (last one is important as batch has the kill command)

Looks like he dont want to release.....

Looks like he dont want to release.....

Of course he wants to release, he'll be getting paid a fee from each miner the moment he releases it. (Which is fine, of course) He's losing a lot of money right now due to people having ditched ETH and his software to mine ZEC. Once he releases his ZEC client, he'll get most of those miners back and paying fees to him to use his software.

[forzendiablo]

i think he got paid to NOT release it. it would be out already

Very much doubt that. He said a few days. We're still in that "few days" period.

Creating custom software takes time, and even devs require sleep.

True story there.  Also, they should be rewarded for their efforts - bring on the miner Claymore!!!  If your hashrate is 1/2 of what you are shooting for, you'll probably have the majority of miners running your software.

That is what I am doing now. It is too frustrating to do the GPU mining with the ZCash at the moment.

give it time genoil-zec will be one of the best, some one said next release increase speeds fixes more speed drops and one other thing and it won't be out as fast it looks like.

you must be doing something wrong, i havent had to babysit my rigs for a few days now. working stable with no real issues.

There really is nothing to do wrong.

The miner is unstable, I use a powershell script to keep it working.

[drawer]

genoil is unstable under win7/win8 both GPU and CPU. i can't wait claymore windows zec miner.

[MantaMine]

You won't need to wait much longer.  He is releasing it in a few hours!!!

[muleman8]

when is claymore releasing? Cant wait 

[arielbit]

Good news: I'm going to release my ZEC miner in a few hours so all ZEC-related discussion will move to new thread finally
Bad news: I was not reach 100h/s on 390 in this version. I'm going to improve speed, but people want to have miner asap so I will release it as is, about 50h/s on stock 390X. I don't like to hurry so further improvements will be added later.

few hours..
