Looks like mining at a pool is paying 30% more then nicehash.  whattomine.com

any block found in the last 4 hours ...heck that all is well in the pool.

i found this Simple script to restart your miner in some place - other forum - it may help windows users

Code:

@echo off
echo -------------------------------------------------------------------
echo Simple script to restart your miner software after a period of time
echo -------------------------------------------------------------------
echo:
set executable=zcashgpuclient_silentarmy.exe
set commandline=zcashgpuclient_silentarmy.exe 
set runforseconds=1800
set restartinseconds=10
set /a counter=0
:start
start "Miner Window" %executable% %commandline%
echo:
echo The software will run for %runforseconds% seconds
timeout %runforseconds%
taskkill /f /im %executable%
echo:
echo Restarting the software in %restartinseconds% seconds (%counter%)
timeout %restartinseconds%
set /a counter+=1
echo:
echo:
goto start

FYI:

I fired W10 with dual 7970's and yep it closes out as soon as it connects to the pool. (2.3)

Its probably looking for some different library or dll that is not found in W10.

 I tried all the most probable fixes and still no luck. It just wont run on 10 as it stands.

As most know, non-silent app does run fine, and ya instead of 44 hashes for both cards I get 26. sols, not the end of the world...  

I say live with until a fix is issued OR go find a cheap hard drive and borrow a friends W7 disk and get it going that way

Oh ya this pool much better than Nicehash's sorry excuse for a pool  

I would have expected a lot more from them than what they had to offer.... they still run a good rental business though lol

I don't know the zcash protocol very well, i'm more used to mining ether coins, but, is anyone else finding it a bit odd that coinsforall.io pool has not found a block in the last 4+ hours? We were averaging a bit more than 1 block per hour before.

I realize that finding blocks is also a matter of luck etc etc. But with our hashing power IMO it should normalize block discovery time a bit.

Did any major new pool enter the scene? To the more experienced miners, what is your opinion?

Probably, network rate is increasing, difficulty too.  Our [218941.589 sols/s] is too low for constant rates...  We will see suck "hickups" often.

linux pro ,please help how to auto star silenarmyminer by login  on ubuntu 16.04 ,i use teamview to control and i want auto star by system login when restar

edit your rc.local file and add the following command

Code:

tmux new-session -d -s miner 'cd <path to zcashclient folder>; ./zcashgpuclient_silentarmy'

(use "sudo nano /etc/rc.local" to edit your file if you didnt know)

and to connect to that tmux windows use

Code:

sudo tmux a

This dude poses a great question.  I know windows inside & out & sideways but not ubuntu much at all.  So lets say the folder is in my home area is this syntax correct?  Also will this auto launch on boot and leave terminal window up?

tmux new-session -d -s miner cd /home/miner01/zcashclient-0.2.4/./zcashgpuclient_silentarmy

you're missing the semicolon, this would be the command you'd put

Code:

tmux new-session -d -s miner cd /home/miner01/zcashclient-0.2.4/;./zcashgpuclient_silentarmy

and tmux is just like screen (its a terminal inside a terminal). So you can connect to that tmux terminal over ssh or directly from the terminal on the machine itself

Probably it was a momentary hickup and maybe we shall find more blocks in the coming hours. But by my very rude calculations considering a network total of 5645173 sols/s and average block time of 165.25s, our 217905 sols/s should be getting one block every ~71min on average. We do represent less than 4% of total mining power, wich might explain this, but on longer term I think we should aproach that kind of average.

I have 2 x RX 470 4GB, also getting 35 sols per card, together 69-70 sols on average.

Using ubuntu 16.04.

I guess card memory does not make much of a difference?
