Message about R9 280X and version 0.2.2:

Yes, that works with 1 instance of silentarmy About 20 sols on stock clocks.

what windows version doing well on silentarmy?

cant start silentarmy with my r9 280x's:

My god... why did they make it sooooooooooo different to mine a coin?  ?  ?

Does the fanspeed setting work on Linux? Doesn't seem to do anything on my 470's, and the fan is too slow.
The new AMDGPU-PRO Driver for Linux doesn't seem to have any console app to adjust it.

same here. it's over 70oC. sometimes, one of my gpu (6xRX470) crash.

Same same,

Running silent army under linux with rx 480 because win10 crashes with silent army but gives double sols compared to non-silent army..

It would be really nice if we could, in Linux, control freq, mem, fan through the config.txt as there is no AMD tweak tool for Linux as there is Wattman for Windows.. But.. changing this config.txt makes no changes.. not even turns fans faster..?

GPU's getting quite hot and need to turn fans up.. but how?

Config is really hard to understand. I have 1070 rig. What must I do to work it properly?

Will the pool automatically switch over to the mainnet?
Right now we're only mining on the testnet right?
It's running fine on Windows 7 so far, though only once instance per GPU.

That did the trick  

Thanks a lot

anywhere it says amd in quotes, change it to nvidia. I was able to get that to detect the cards, but on my 750m I'm testing on, it would crash.

I find an app here, but I can't install it. Maybe not work for ubuntu 16.04

Error -4 is CL_MEM_OBJECT_ALLOCATION_FAILURE, you have not enough memory, or can't access entire memory on card (may be GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT и GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS variables can help you).

ok thanks the 1070 is 8gb where exactly would i add the variables GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT и GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS

try pasting this before your command line for your bat file

GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 100

Thanks for your reply. I opened config with wordpad and I found the problem as you said. I always use notepad because of this I couldn't understand anything.

Begin to switching to main net, pool will be unavailable during few minutes (up to 30)

yeah normally but there is no bat file just the config, and as far as i remember those variables are for amd, i am getting the error with the 1070, can you even create a bat file for this 2.2 ver.?

do we need to create a new main net zcash address?

[MinermanNC]

New addresses are required correct? RC4?

[Tmdz]

Yes you need new address

[muleman8]

Yes you need new address

thank you - may I ask how I would go about doing this? do i need to edit the zcash.conf file in linux wallet and then restart wallet and generate new wallet address?
