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

[NewbieTreider]

I'm trying the 0.2.3 but I get an error:

Code:

This address is not valid ZCash T-address: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx...  

With 0.2.2. no problem, but impossible uses 0.2.3 due to this error. Using the same config.txt.

Anyone with the same issue?

does it work with cuda under linux ?

Change from amd to nvidia "platform" parameter in config.txt.

Ok on nvidia when i start the normal kernel it is hashing ok 25 for 1070 , but when i start silentarmy.exe it gives me error unknown host or port and miner closes. What is going on, they use the same config file?

@eXtremal - great job and amazing 2.3 update!

Will you fix WIN 10 (64bit) zcashgpuclient_silentarmy.exe bug anytime soon? It keep crashing on R7 370 15.xx/16.xx (i try both) drivers.

@extremal:

Can you please tell me why i just get this with silentarmy version?
I asked and ask but never get answer...

Connecting to frontend: coinsforall.io:6668 ...
ERROR: invalid hostname and/or port.

Getting always this error with all your versions..somehow you never responds to that bug.

As stated 4-5times earlier if i use the zcashgpuclient.exe it works. So something is wrong with the parsing..or do i need to enter something different?

[liomojo1]

Same here!

to get help, try to post in details like config,txt OS etc...

[ioglnx]

its the standard config..you can't change the host man just use your brain.
You see where it want to connect I just changed the zcash wallet thats all nothing more..but this is obvious thing you can change only and the card config.
As I mentioned 10000000 times before I am using Windows 10 64bit and I also tried Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 but the result is always the same..I posted that many times before..so sorry iff I just get pissed about the same dumb question about an obvious issue with the miner.

It isn't working since the first time he compiled the :silentarmy thing..and no its not my dns not my connection and not whatever i tested different ISP, different os different computer the result is always the same.
While the standard client without _silentarmy connects to the same host with the same config just fine..frustration and repeating it over and over again makes it not better so extremal should tell me whats wrong.

Sounds like a conf file have you checked it carefully or changed anything in it? 1 space off will mess ya up lol

server = "coinsforall.io";port = "6668";# Your ZCASH payout addressaddress = "t1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";#  etc.

I don't think its a bug.... if it were, more of us using W7 64 and 8 (yuk) would be seeing same issue

[liomojo1]

It is the same config file do you understand! It works with first  nonsilentary exe and it is not working with silentarmy exe!

[MinermanNC]

You guys need to post your conf files and let an extra set of eyes look.  

as suggested by ioglnx

Question - in the beginning I was getting stable 18 Sol/s with rx 480

Does it increase to advertized 45?

[MinermanNC]

It is the same config file do you understand! It works with first  nonsilentary exe and it is not working with silentarmy exe!

In the new miner 2.3 assuming conf is exactly the same, try deleting the bin files it created in the miner folder. Close folder reboot the PC and try to launch again.

[liomojo1]

I found the solution , just remove put instancese for silent army from 2 to 1 and it starts working!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No lol, at least not for me. With new 2.3 silent I am getting 26 per card.... but a lot better than 18 was   480 8gb

Some may say 45 but? maybe with excessive OC'ing or bios flashing or something lol, but that's stock for me. Im not into burning up my cards

Good but are you getting the dual hashing, the bump in performance over the non-silent app?

[liomojo1]

I have started two instances for now no major improvement , gtx 1070 ! Try it on amd!
I can  say from 25 on the ordinary kernel , here i get 29.xx with two instances!

[NewbieTreider]

... sorry I forgot to add my system info:

S.O.: Ubuntu 16.04 Headless
Driver: Amd Pro Drivers 16.40
GPU: Rx480

With 0.2.2 I don have any problem, but with 0.2.3 I can't start the miner, the message is

Code:

"This address is not valid ZCash T-address: ..."

I tried both options, the binaries provided and also I compiled the sources from github, but I get the same error...

Any ideas?
