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

[maxmad_x]

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.

Thanx for the suggestion but it does not work. Yes , it mostly is the driver issue which is probably related with win 10. Were you getting crashes before with earlier releases of Silent?

Hope it will help some os you, on ubuntu basic install

I planned fix silent army kernel crash on a lot of systems and add NVidia support (I already see near 50sols/s but miner produces wrong results).

With latest version you not need launch 2 instances, but it doubles number of GPU

# Platform:
#  "amd": AMD GCN cards
#  "nvidia": NVidia Maxwell cards
platform = "amd

This line in the conf file,
does it needed to bee  edited?

miner crashing after last line when he connect to pool.
maybe it help to Extremal

How i can compile bins with WIN 10

Thank you so much for your hardwork. I am thinking of a quick install of ubuntu and running miners for some time. Until your genius finds the solution on the AMD win 10 crash on silentminer.
Once again ; great work and thank you so much for your hard work.

Will you be merging into BFG miner?

When I run 2.0 zcashgpuclient the pool recognizes my 3x 7950s @ ~30-35 sol/s. But if I run 2.0 or 2.1 zcashgpuclient_silentarmy or 2.1 zcashgpuclient the pool recognizes 0 sol/s. or my Win 7, 64bit crashes.

Edit: thank you for all your hard work!

I can recommend to try Catalyst 16.7.2 on Win7 64 and Windows 10 for silent army kernel. Remove all *.bin files before launch a miner.

Thank you very much.

Still loads cpu on nvidia..

I posted on the zcash forum, but for others here...

Awesome job! I need to eat my shorts now that you actually released a reasonably fast open sourced miner. From the Toonim thread "The GPU miner completes one Equihash run in 45 ms (approx. 41.7 Sol/s) on an R9 290." Though, I'm not convinced price per watt is going to be better than some of the CPU miners out there if they are really claiming 6+ Sol/s per thread! I haven't been able to test or verify those yet.

Getting approximate 37.25 Sols/s on each of my Sapphire r290 cards. Haven't messed with OC yet. Edit: environment, standard fglrx drivers on Ubuntu 64bit 14.04 LTS.

Temps stable around 73C, so they aren't being worked too hard yet. I can't find my Kill-a-watt meter, but this 4x GPU rig was configured to max out at 14.9AMPs while mining Scrypt-N optimized. I'm going to guess it's much less than that.

i got 0 sols on 280x with latest drivers

Guys, Just got it working on Win 10, I wrote "AMD" platform instead of "amd", don't use capital letters

[citronick]

Any benchmark for R9-Nano ?

Will 8GB memory get more sol/s ?

Do you have the link for that solver please?
