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

[Termie]

@espressodelisi how I wrote here several times - a simple "GPU-crashed"- and "lost-connection"-watchdog is really required here.

@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?

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

It actually is. We see that on several, especially the faster, miners. If you set "Instances" to "1" in the config, it is gone. I would put this on a timing issue when opening the sockets for both instances. Meanwhile, you still can start 2 instances manually again...

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

unbelivable! Thank you! that helped! Got 0.2.3 working now

I could run silentarm with instances=1 but gives me less hashrate than non silentarmy version.

maybe this silentarmy version is good for newer gpus.

@eXtremal, 4 days passed. i sent you email, pm. but never receive the zec.
whats wrong? is there any other miner who don't get any zec?

Your message is wrong.
Is it your address t1bRbqsC7x13WxGqG4VngbSViPPoPwJjPdk ? You have 0.0196 ZEC payed and 0.0015 on balance. If you want get 0.0015, press "request payout" button and wait ~1 hour.

# - The following settings have one entry per GPU

...

Where it is, the binary for Ubuntu 16.04 ?
Have you the name of the package to install OpenCL in Ubuntu 16.04 (it is absoltly necessary for a miner with only nvidia cards) ?
Thanks.

binary for ubuntu iz in the zip file. There are both exe files and linux executable files in the zip.

I am running ubuntu 14.04 headless mode and its running fine.

zcashgpuclient
zcashgpuclient.exe
zcashgpuclient_silentarmy
zcashgpuclient_silentarmy.exe

the .exe ones are for windows and others are for linux.

silentarmy did less hashrate on my linux rig with 3 AMD 280x and one 270 total 4 GPU.

My average hashrate is 53 sols. is that good?

Thank you :-).
I  had forgotten..

Hello good day sirs
im new to mining and i just followed an instructions
and im getting  19.22sol/s on my i5 4590 4gb ram gtx 750 1gb giving me 0.001zec/day nonstop mining
is it good for a starter?
thanks!

[Termie]

19 Sol with i5 and GTX together? Rather average I would say.
My i5-5675c (Broadwell, just done a test hour, don´t mining permanently with it) delivers 16 / 20 Sol with 3 / 4 mining tasks.

By the way - @eXtremal is a CPU miner intended for your pool?

by average sir you mean not good but not too bad?
im now into mining rather than trading so im looking for a good rig that will give me atleast 0.01 btc a day or 0.01zec a day that is also good for my electricity bill, i mean i have profit even if i pay my electricity bill using miners
would you recommend some for me sir?

[Raxitto]

sorry about the off topic question.... but anybody knows, how to cpu mining Zec in a Mac??
thx

[Banksuckmyballs]

Thanks for updated version.. works very well.. Im getting 35 sols on Sapphire RX470 OC Hynix.
I have modded bios with 1500 straps all up.
It runs very stable although I am using a .bat file to restart miners every 300 secs.

What I would like to know is what settings to use.
For Ethereum I was using 1050/850 and 1850/875 but for some reason ZEC does not like this.
It seems to prefer auto GPU.
All settings that I have tried eventually cause the hashrate to drop to about a quarter.
At auto GPU it is stable for days and no issues but with 4 x RX470 per rig it is pulling 1200w at the wall.
Maximum for each PSU.

In one room I have 4 of these rigs with 4 cards and it is too much load on the circuit and trips at the board.
I would like to find out if anyone has any settings that work for these cards so I can reduce power draw.

Thanks in advance

Hey GM ioglnx, was that you I saw getting the Banhammer last night for a day over on Poli  sure looked like you  small world perhaps...... or mistaken identity

Well it was me fighting with OldManKidd who kicks and bans 1 day without any reason and misusing his rights as mod..moron mod frustated and just let it go on me and others ..many ppl complained already

Ya I know, I read some of your last post there and saw you we're actually taking up for someone else that had got banned. I think he takes pleasure in banning people lol ...  OldManKidd

Why https://github.com/zcminer-dev/zcminer/ with Linux Z-cash miner doesn't work? Any suggestions?

zcminer
A CUDA Equihash / ZCash miner miner with developer fee

Features
Currently running at ~50 Sols/s on a slightly overclocked GTX 1070
Supporting Pascal, Maxwell & Kepler GPUs
This miner is still in a very early state and will probably not run stable. Using a script to periodically restart the miner might be a good idea...

repository is disabled

I have copy this
