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

[CjMapope]

Any wallets for Windows available yet ?

what?

this is a GPU miner thread...

plus zcash doesn't even get released till the 28th, AND has already stated there will NOT be windows wallets on launch...

please do some research before coming into a thread with useless questions...  or for god sake alteast READ the OP...

Buy a better fucking attitude.. thnx

lol well I guess you got your answer, albeit a little harsh  

There is a windows miner, but i have nowhere to send the coins.
Am i supposed to setup a crappy linux machine for a wallet ?
Thats just stupid.

Until there's either stratum support in the Windows GPU miner or a Windows wallet, you're still bound to linux interaction even with this Windows GPU miner in order to create a ZCash address. A third option is if a trusted exchange supports it immediately and you use it as your mining wallet (which is frowned upon by pretty much every exchange since the beginning).

right.
this miner is really just to get a feel on our cards mainly for test purposes to be ready for the 28th (which, rest assured you will have a place for a zcash wallet then  )
no need to be in such a hurry, dat GREED got you vein popping ! ;p
patience, young padawan, soon enough, soon enough

Use the windows 10 Ubuntu shell and you can install a zcash wallet that way there are instructions on the web

I'm getting 19.7 sols with my GTX 1070 and like 6 sols with an AMD FX 8320 8 core CPU.

So when the dev's can answer our questions or fix bugs:

1) Miner is spleating speed between NVIDIA gpus 2+ on one rig - how to solve?
2) Very low speed on previous generations AMD gpus (if compare to toomims reports) - can you speed it up?
3) dual CPU and GPU mining in one console - is it possible?
4) Descent PPS percentage according to medium market rate on other algos and pools - would you decrease fee?
5) Dual mining with other algo - may it be in future?
6) ... add more guys if i've missed something

Yeah i will wait for an exchange or the nicehash miner release.

My farm is doing fine on ETH, so no rush for me really.
About greed, greed is the rush to launch a project without even having descent wallets ready.
The hype is real.

Got 18,5 with my 390, i think there is a lot of work to be done on optmizations, since you are getting the  same with your 480

is this with one gpu only?

[Marvell1]

btw the nice hash miner is supposedly getting 40 sols using just a onld I7 in their latest build,

if this holds up all this work on gpus is kinda moot since cpu-botnets will crush the hash rate on launch

gpus need to get at least 25% more of cpu hash rate due to the power the consume not the current half

Yea I was thinking the same thing, it will be abused by botnets. But even if gpu mining get's a higher rate this will still happen.

Hmm, I just tested the nicehash version linked by supernova.cc and was averaging 13.764 sols w/ my i7 6700k clocked at 4.5Ghz, 10.65 at stock. Compare that with the op's miner on my Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX970 at around 15.5 sols, but a heck of a lot more power draw for 2 sols more. I ran nicehash cpu and op's gpu miner together for a combined 26.5 sols after running for about 10-15 minutes.

yeah that goes for all coins but what happens is the GPU speeds are so much higer than the cpu speeds that the botnets become insignificant and no worth it

with this coin with gpu mining being so slow the botnets will be super effective.  Bad thing too about botnets is they are notorious dumpers of coins so they tend to really crash prices

youre still using their old version
The have not released their new version which is more powerful and includes cuda support, it will be launched today or tomorrow I imagine

I am pretty sure that Nicehash did something with their old Nicehash Miner to prevent this ?
I dont remember what was done but i hope they do something to make it harder for botnets to use it.

Well that is fantastic news. I'll watch their zcash forum thread. Thanks for the heads up! I'm really curious if someone will stumble upon what the Toomin bros are up to and open source it asap.

They are criminals with a hijacked network, so that's to be expected.

Hopefully the gpu mining catches up and passes cpu mining before the botnets take over.

I would be surprised if Zcash doesn't fork to larger memory hard requirement within a month of release making CPUs almost useless.

They have already discussed pushing into 512mb which would effectively kill CPU mining to get Botnets out.

ok lol i got my system with 1 1060 running just fine with win7. 15 sols

then i tried to get my main rig running, it has 3 390x's   1 r7 370 and 1 gtx 1070.

 when i try to get all cards running, it finds 4 of my cards i am assuming those are my amd cards cause thats what i have set in the config, then i get an error stating

terminate called after throwing an instance of '       thatys exactly what it says
here is a pic showing whats going on https://i.imgur.com/AkLwh76.png

now when i change the config to nvidia it runs the 1070 perfectly at 22 sols no problem,

could this be some kind of conflict caused by having amd and nvidia mixed in the same rig? i am running 15.12 amd drivers is that the issue? i have no clue at this point lol thanks for any help in advance

Has anything ever worked well mixing AMD/nVidia in the same rig? Cause I would assume not.

Set one instance to only run amd cards, then another instance with only the nvida card.
