OS Supported: Windows, Linux (binaries for Ubuntu 16.04)
Drivers: Catalyst 16.xx or amdgpu-pro 16.30 recommended

GPUs supported: AMD & NVidia. Optimal choice AMD Polaris GPU RX470 & RX480 with custom ROM https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1584617.0 or NVidia Pascal GTX10xx

Radeon RX470: 43 sol/s
Radeon RX480: 46 sol/s

Other GPUs
GeForce GTX1070: 31,5 sol/s (with silentarmy)

Pool mining:

Miner uses custom binary protocol first time implemented in xpmclient (Primecoin GPU miner). Working pool instance: http://coinsforall.io/#!/coin/ZCASH

To start mining:
 - Put your T-address to config.txt (need ZCash client installed, online wallet or exchange with ZCash support).

server = "coinsforall.io";
port = "6668";

# Your ZCASH payout address (t-addr)
address = "t1ZsLopJKzyuaqmeC2Y6cx1351G13st2sWN";

 - Configure your GPUs (edit corefreq, memfreq, powertune and fanspeed parameters)
 - Run zcashgpuclient in Linux or zcashgpuclient.exe in Windows
 - Put you address to 'Your Address' field on web site for monitoring workers and payments

Pool system: PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares); accounting procedure uses all your shares received during last hour. Payment delay: 1 hour or less.

Examples:

Nicehash cpu miner:

nheqminer_cpu -l coinsforall.io:3357 -u t1ekR4ngkssfMEVRWWErPemdPPLXuALtsWB.cpu1

Silentarmy standalone miner:

./silentarmy -c stratum+tcp://coinsforall.io:3357 -u t1ekR4ngkssfMEVRWWErPemdPPLXuALtsWB.worker1 --use=0,1,2,3

Claymore miner:

ZecMiner64.exe -zpool coinsforall.io:3357 -zwal t1N7NByjcXxJEDPeb1KBDT9Q8Wocb3urxnv.YourWorkerName -zpsw x

Z-addresses
For move your balance from Z-address to your T-address, send your empty wallet.dat and T-address to separate email extremal.ik71@gmail.com with topic "Z-Address"

So youre saying I can use this mining on an Eth rig that is windows 10 by just using the windows binary ? I dont have to do the Windows Ubuntu shell install to use it ?

Also how about CPU mining can this miner do both CPU and GPU at the same time or do you need to use something like NiceHash'es fee based miner on a separate console ?

Yes, no problem mining in windows 10, but you must obtain valid Z-Address for payments, it possible only on linux or on first online exchange with ZCash deposit support.

Also how about CPU mining can this miner do both CPU and GPU at the same time or do you need to use something like NiceHash'es fee based miner on a separate console ?

I'll release separate CPU miner after 1-2 days.

Ok I'll create a full zcash install on one of my machines to get the address, and test out your miner on my tomorrow or wenesday, I will defintlay mine on your pool if you can handle both the CPU and GPU mining

thank you for the update

BTW probbaly an error here but the repo you linked has not been updated since 2015 , that can't be correct if this is what your Tar files and Windows Binaries are built off of

[ghironet]

Hello, thank you for sharing your new GPU miner. I tried to run it on one of my rigs with 4x390 but this error occur: "equiw200k9.bin empty" and the program closing by itself. What does it means?

Thanks

Fixed
Miner on another branch, not master.

What OS and drivers? I know about problem on Windows and old (Catalyst 14.x) drivers.

Win7 and 15.12 drivers

Wow thanks for releasing the miner!

Ive tested

7950 = 7.5 sols

290 = 8.6 sols

470 modded bios elpida mem = 11 sols

Seems a little slow, is there some setting to change?

Also multi-gpu works perfect

Erase that file and load the program again!

[adaseb]

Nice!!!!!!


All my R9 280X are murdering ZCASH at 11H/s

[ghironet]

Ok now is working R9 390 around 16.5 - 17 H/s

Also multi-gpu works perfect

Gnoli miner and the Toomin miner do around 17.5 sol on a 480x and 22 sol on a 290x respectivley

yes this does seem a bit slow or the 470 , are you using the tromp solvers ?

ALso can you try the 470 with non modded roms Tmdz ?

No, I have no other Zcoin software on my pc besides this miner.

In a while I will reboot the 470's and use the stock rom.  Also watts on the 470s is very low @ 80 watts per gpu at the wall (measured)

[adaseb]

Doesn't 10H/s = 20Sol/s

[DarKSm0ke]

Is this gpu miner compatible with Stratum?

[blue-yu]

Here are my results:

GeForce 750TI - 1.6 Sols
GeForce 970 - 6 Sols
RX 470 - 17 Sols

I am using default config.

BR...

[tutorialevideo]

This is great.. we have a running gpu miner... so better this than a cpu miner

[mrada1204]

i get only 3.5 sol on gtx 1070 g1

[slimdim]

OpenCL error: -11 at /build/xpmclient/src/opencl.cpp:153

can help me?
