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

[davembg]

Couple of questions:

1. I see that this is optimized for Ubuntu 16.04 with current amdgpupro driver. Will it work on 14.04 with amdgpu? I can update to 16.04, of course.
2. does it reliably work on multiple GPUs?
3. can anybody post sols of a rig of six RX 470 if it does, or is it better to run simply on good CPU, like i7 or FX?

You need a later kernel - Ubuntu 16 is prolly best at this point.
Arch is better, but it's a PITA compared to Ubuntu.

Just adding my results. Ubuntu 16.04, amdgpu-pro, 0.2.4 silentarmy.

Sapphire R9 380 - sols = 29
Sapphire R9 390 - sols = 38
Sapphire R9 390x - sols = 42

Not to shabby 

 Seems there is better results mining on Ubuntu using silent army than W7... hmmm

So, what's up with this bug under Linux:

Code:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'config4cpp::ConfigurationException'
Aborted (core dumped)

I see several reports of this issue, but no solution?

[Ed173]

Is someone around actually able to get 30+ sol/s stable through RX 480 8 GB using Windows 10?

The silent army doesn't work for me, it crashes as soon as it starts. I'm using Windows 10.

Then it is worth changing to Ubuntu 16.04
My RX480 8GB is giving a steady 38 sol/s (just default settings, no BIOS tweaking)

fees still 4%

btw i got paid too. pools pays although a little slow, be patient, i'm sure things are improving.

change to zcashclient-0.2.0 - delete .bins ( to build again ) - start again and update the post ....

What are we trying to achieve here? Do you think I could get more than 35 sol/s per card?

I think that is quite right for this miner and the rx470...

?

i think that 40+ - but 35 sols not bad ...

I tried this, running 0.2.4 and 0.2.0 together, my hashrate droped from 70 to 50 sols. So its better for me to run just one instance of the miner...

Dev work around that  - will reduce his fee ( keep mining )!

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

Ubuntu as well as every other major modern distribution have adopted Systemd for service and daemon management. All you have to do is create a unit file that will manage everything including resources, restarting, dependency resolution, start order, pre/post actions, and much more. This isn't the stone ages anymore where you would use rc.local, tmux, screen, cron, &, etc for services or daemon management.

I am getting ~38 sol/s with (3) Sapphire Nitro RX480 4GB cards on Ubuntu 16 with the latest amd-pro driver.
The BIOSs are modded for 2000 memory clock and the timing straps from the 1625 clock speed.
Using good SSD and 8GB of quality RAM - Gigabyte AM1M-S2H with Athlon 5350 APU.

My issue is the program won't run for more than an hour before one of the cards dies or the program crashes.

zogminer has stayed-up just fine, but not the pre-built zcashgpuclient_silentarmy binary.

I like the speed, but, can't do the constant reboots.
Anyone with similar experience?

38sol in each instance or whit two instances 19+19? 38sol in total for card.

[shadabahmed]

i am getting 16 sols on RX470 modded why?
and in ETH i m getting 27mhs
and i am using setting 1100 and 1900

linux guys,

what OS/drivers are you using to mine? Actually, I've mined sgminer/claymore earlier, so, I'm still standing on f21 with fglrx 15.12. And now, using this miner I've got:

Code:

[GPU 0] T=-1C A=-1% sols=16.957
[GPU 1] T=-1C A=-1% sols=16.936
[GPU 2] T=-1C A=-1% sols=16.010
(ST/INV/DUP): 4317x 0ch(8/0/0)

per 3 x R9 NANO cards miner (small one closed chassis that I've got few). But reading the forum I'm coming to think that the mining speed seems is lower than usually taken with amdgpu-pro drivers.

SilentArmy V3 became a full mining app, it's not just a solver anymore.
For the moment linux only.

Good news! Thank you. Trying it out now.

[snakey]

Any youtube video to install linux and silentarmy v3?

Can you mine on this pool with that miner?

Now not, but after 1-2 days pool will support any stratum miner.

Interesting, I might go ahead and give this a try. After all, the weekend is coming up
Thanks for the tip Doktor83

Do you perhaps have any experience how this nheqminer compares to the zcashminer used for this pool? I used an older version previously, but I believe I lost half a day of hashing due to another pool being hardcoded in the software.
