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

[ricshaw453]

So we can run 2 terminals/instances with this miner?

Ran with 2 terminals and sol/s dropped from 17.5 to 3.5.  Guess not.

eXtremal, please fix miner window closing after start zcashgpuclient_silentarmy.exe.

For the love of god, someone walk me through starting this miner. I have been at this all day long.

I think its just win 10. Are you using win 10 to test Extremal?

Keeps crashing. Either that or running in background?

There are some people who have 64 bit win 777777 .. working fine so its not 64 bit issue
I am guessing its Win 10 issue as I havn't seen a single person who has successfully run the miner with win 10

Its def aa windows 10 thing, i cant makew it work and I do not have the skills to figure out linux to run it unless someone has a guide, i have linux installed. I just am at a loss with this

[eXtremal]

I test on 64bit Windows 7, works fine.

[maxmad_x]

I test on 64bit Windows 7, works fine.

exactly. Can you guess any reason why win 10 wont be working? I am running it in on win 7 compatibility (fail). As admin (fail) etc...
I am guessing that something very core to the win 10 is screwing with the program. but I am no genius in this field. so take it with a grain of salt

[Tmdz]

The miner crashes on win 8.1 as well but there is not much difference between win 8 and 10

[2GOOD]

I test on 64bit Windows 7, works fine.

Win 10 x64 - crash
Win 7 x64 - kind of starting but i get some opencl errors (Catalyst 15.12)

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

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 ?

Pretty sure Toomin claimed 40 sol/s on a 470?

Toomim said 30 on the youtube video:  https://youtu.be/t115LfJtkDE

man, please fix this crash zcashgpuclient_silentarmy with Win 10
we (win 10 users) want mine ZEC too

[maxmad_x]

eXtremal we would love you to contact someone with win 10 available and compile from source on that machine and share it with us. I am sure that that should work. Its all with win 8, 10 etc with different placement of drivers and the rights to the system folders may be causing issue. Please

18-20 with my 390, tried silent kernel crashed.
tried 2 instances same speed

Same. Not sure. I have testes 3 of my rigs all with different cards. 380, 380x, 390. Crashes everytime.

Let me guess you guys are using it on win 10? The problem I think is that the binary was compiled with win 7 or 32 bit system. So this binary is bound to fail on win 10 64 bit system

I'm running Win10 64-bit and I got it working... it could be more a problem with support for the card than the OS.

This is how I have my config.txt set up:

Code:

server = "coinsforall.io";
port = "6668";
address = "zthTb2ToG5kuAc11Ni6NxoYjoxQdEr2XvST7XEdLvmHG9k7kotEcwYCaAn1SH4zRdPoXn9kNeFm8CQok9SNtNgn8d9WcdTK";
platform = "nvidia";

and it seems to work just fine for me. If you have an AMD processor you put "amd" for the platform rather than nvidia.

Now, my big question -- and it's probably been answered before, but will this miner support stratum pools, cause that's what everyone is setting up, and so far none of my tests with them have connected.
