SILENTARMY v5: Zcash miner, 115 sol/s on R9 Nano, 70 sol/s on GTX 1070

[zawawa]

Oh, OK. That explains why. I'm glad SA worked on your system  

gets the speeds up  if you can and everyone is set or at least match CM with his fee off, I'll be happy.

SA on three 470 and one 480

Code:

ZEC - Total Speed: 541.656 H/s, Total Shares: 69, Rejected: 1, Time: 00:03
ZEC: GPU0 133.229 H/s, GPU1 135.076 H/s, GPU2 145.019 H/s, GPU3 128.332 H/s

Oh, I know how fast Claymore's ZEC miner is.
The thing is, he probably has 1000x as much money as I do, and I have practically zero financial incentives in this project.
I am just doing this mostly for the fun of coding and the spirit of sharing, so things will take a little bit more time.

I know i didn't mean anything by my comment , I know you don't have to and will stop at some point, i understand that ,I  wasn't demanding anything or didn't mean to if it seemed i was. !! 

Thanks for what you did, i did donate for a while i was going to more but that's looking like that's it .

again THANKS for what you did i know you didn't have to, don't take what i said wrong .

Thanks top.

Oh, no problem  I just wanted to clarify my position vis-a-vis this project, that's all.

Devs...any progress made?

Devs...any progress made?

It is quite difficult to improve the speed now.

I think hes referring to this kernal catching up with claymour. Its still quite a bit behind.

Thanks for the offer, but I would rather focus on optimizations first.
One thing at a time, you know. My next mods will most likely be cross-platform anyway.

"--threads 2" may work. "--instances" is broken on Windows, but you could always try.
