Open Source ZEC (ZCash) GPU Miner AMD & NVidia (up to 45 sol/s on RX480)

[IOTUSA]

nice! clocking ~18Sols/s on the same R9 390X that does ~22 using my own brew. your miner has one major advantage though...it actually comes up with solutions that are accepted by the pool  

That is one advantage that's hard to beat
Where do these 40Sols per 290x card that Toomim supposedly are getting come from? Seems awfully high.

RX 470 4g with modified bios at 1275/2010:
[GPU 0] T=-1C A=-1% sols=19.950  with ~100W at the wall

at a more reasonable 1150/2000 I still get 19.2 with 85W

For testing you can just use the address in the config file (that's what I and it looks like a lot of others are doing) but for mainnet launch you will need your own address. Depends on if an exchange trades on day 1 or not if you can use that for an address, but it is probably worth your while to download and compile your own wallet.

Remember this is launching with a slow-start, so even if you get in a few days later you will not be missing out on a lot of coins as that was pretty much the intention to give everyone time to get kinks worked out etc. before full block mining appears. I am sure within a week or so there will be Windows wallets available and maybe even sooner you will have exchanges with addresses you can mine to.

Sound good - thank you for detailed answer!

Secret sauce. We put it on our GPUs prior to cooking.

Btw, just a 290, not 290x.

(We wrote our own miner about a month ago. Our code is faster. No, you can't have it, sorry.)

A Xeon can have up to 22 threads though vs the 8 threads of and i7

I'm trying to run zcashgpuclient.exe in 64-bit Windows 10 but the command prompt instantly opens and closes. Any ideas on what I should look at? Maybe the drivers?

You have to rearrange the cofig file to look like thise :

Code:

 server = "coinsforall.io";

port = "6668";


# Your ZCASH payout address

address = "zthTb2ToG5kuAc11Ni6NxoYjoxQdEr2XvST7XEdLvmHG9k7kotEcwYCaAn1SH4zRdPoXn9kNeFm8CQok9SNtNgn8d9WcdTK";


# You can give this machine a custom name

# Computer name is used as default

# name = "worker_name";


# Platform:

#  "amd": AMD GCN cards

#  "nvidia": NVidia Maxwell cards

platform = "amd";


# GPU crash handling (properly untested feature):

# 0 - do nothing

# 1 - close miner application

# 2 - reboot system (need superuser rights)

onCrash = "0";


# - The following settings have one entry per GPU

# - If you have more than 4 just add more entries or leave it as is to use defaults

# - All entries must be separated by commas and set between double quotes


# 0 = don't use device

# 1 = use device

devices =        ["1", "1", "1", "1", "1"];


# work sizes

worksizes = ["256", "256", "256", "256", "256"];


# threads

threads = ["8192", "8192", "8192", "8192", "8192"];


# -1 means don't change

corefreq =       ["-1", "-1", "-1", "-1", "-1"];

memfreq =        ["-1", "-1", "-1", "-1", "-1"];

powertune =      ["-1", "-1", "-1", "-1", "-1"];

fanspeed =       ["-1", "-1", "-1", "-1", "-1"];

When i use only one GTX1070 i get ~25sol, and when i put 5xGTX1070 at the same pc i get ~5sol each.

Can you check your miner pls?

Any indications on what difference, if any, there are on RX-series cards running ETH optimized BIOS (1500 straps) vs running stock.  Is there a better route to go with BIOS mods for this algo?

*ROFL ?***? what world are you living in 2010 ?

there are some 10 core XEONS out there bro

http://ark.intel.com/products/75279/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5-2690-v2-25M-Cache-3_00-GHz

20 threads or there about

But i was talking about the real high end ones 12 core 24 threads

I am on windows and getting 10sol with 1070 while power is only 30-50%

See my results above in the thread, I'm running 1375 strap. I think it improves ~10% compared to stock results I saw earlier.

Anyone willing to help walk me through installing this on linux? I have 0.04 btc for you! Would prefer to walk through on skype. Im running AMD cards.

Any HW errors running the 1375 strap?

First of al : thanks eXtremai for this first nVidia GPU Miner (Linux) :-).

With a GTX 1070 at 100 W TdP, I have 21,8 Sol/s.

But when I put three cards in the config files (GTX 1070, GTX 960, GTX 750), each one made 3 Sol/s, then only 10 Sol/s with the 3 cards...

In this config.txt, is there some information on how optimize the parameters (and their syntax) Work size, threads, core frequencies and so on...

Thanks again.

My config : Ubuntu 16.04

When i start the exe on windows it directly close after it list the gpus? what i am doing wrong?

[riskyfire]

Thank you for this miner, many people have been eagerly awaiting a open source development.

I've tested this miner with one of my Win AMD boxes and after one false start, its now working well. Posted below are my results with this miner and I've linked to a video showing the miner being used on the same system.

Drivers AMD catalyst 15.12

AMD 7950 6.95 sols/s
AMD 280X 9.73 sols/s
AMD 7700K (gpu cores) 1.47 sols/s

guys,

HOW CAN I TRY THIS GPU MINER WITH SOLO MINING?

server = "127.0.0.1";  //localhost?
port = "18233";

# Your ZCASH payout address (z-addr)
address = "? ? ? ? ?";

zcash.conf

Code:

    rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
    rpcbind=127.0.0.1
    rpcport=18232
    bind=0.0.0.0
    port=18233

i get the error equiw200k9.bin empty on windows cmd when i start it what can i do?
