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

[eXtremal]

I added 'kernels' directory to miner archive with files for RX4xx and RX 2xx GPUs, if you have problems with lauch or performance, you can copy kernel to main directory and launch miner again.

i get only 3.5 sol on gtx 1070 g1

GeForce 750TI - 1.6 Sols

Normal results for 750Ti - 8,5 sol/s, GTX1070 - 22sol/s (obtain in Ubuntu 16.04 with NVidia 361.x drivers), if you don't see that, you can try another driver version or another OS.. but we have 4 day to mining start for collect some statistics and release new more stable version before 28th October

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

Try one of two prepared kernels from latest release.

RX470 on Windows7 with catalyst 16.7.2:

Thx for miner.
It will not work with suprnova stratum?
Just do not want to install ZCash wallet.

This is a OpenCL fork of CUDA John Tromp's miner.

Github repository: https://github.com/eXtremal-ik7/xpmclient/tree/version/zcash
Current release: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yo56dwlqnm0dndh/zcashclient-0.1.0.tar.gz?dl=0
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

Radeon RX470 17.2 sol/s
Radeon RX480 18.5 sol/s

Other GPUs
GeForce 750Ti - 8,5 sol/s

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 Z-addess to config.txt (need ZCash client installed, online wallet or exchange with ZCash support):

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

# Your ZCASH payout address (z-addr)
address = "zthTb2ToG5kuAc11Ni6NxoYjoxQdEr2XvST7XEdLvmHG9k7kotEcwYCaAn1SH4zRdPoXn9kNeFm8CQo k9SNtNgn8d9WcdTK";

 - 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.

Pool now configured for public ZCash testnet until 28 October when mainnet starts

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?

Hi, when are you planning to add stratum support?

I have the same issue with Nvidia cards, both with the old and the latest build on the links in the OP

thanks very much. but it can't connect now

Is there a John Tromp CUDA miner ? If yes, where please ?
Or John Tromp working is "only" about algorithm ?

[IOTUSA]

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

Except there is an optimized CPU miner that pulls 30/sols out of a single Xeon CPU

[adaseb]

For some reason I only get 10H/S on R9 290. Slower then 280X

Are you passing the miner any arguments? You need to give it pool address/solo address, worker, user etc. I assume.

[IOTUSA]

For those of us that prefer the 'noob idiot approach' could you compile Windows binaries for AMD and just toss the up? I think there are lots of us that run 280/290, 380/390, and 470/480 on Windows 10 that could use the 'same' binaries.

[beyinsi]

hi, is it possible solo mining with this gpu miner? whats zcash wallet port number? 127.0.01

Which optimized CPU miner is that? Where did you get that benchmark for Xeon CPUs? Most i7 don't go over 10 H/sec

[ShopemNL]

How to compile in linux?

Are you talking about the Nice-hash one ?

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

[jtoomim]

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

I don't know where you're getting your numbers from, but we are much faster than 22 Sol/s.

[Tmdz]

With the kernels

290 = 14 sol/s

470 on stock bios with kernel and getting 17.2 sol/s now
