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

[zawawa]

Here are new Windows binaries. They should fix the bug that was causing duplicate shares.

https://github.com/zawawawa/silentarmy

[zawawa]

Wait next +10% in 12h, then 2 days pause before major release (~+50% ).

Not 10% Only 7-8% for NVidia (AMD may be +1% ):
http://coinsforall.io/distr/input.cl
for AMD: http://coinsforall.io/distr/param.h.amd
for NVidia: http://coinsforall.io/distr/param.h.nvidia

Stock GTX1070 - 93sols/s now.

What a timing... I need to prepare a new version, then

Hmm... This is so strange. You could try older drivers, then.

Many duplucated shares with Zwawawa version..ou tof 100 I got 55 dupe warnings.

Which video card/driver/os?

Windows 10 Pro x64 last working driver for GTX10x series 375.76 the newer one is culprit :-D
Somehow the dupe error gone after 3 times starting :-/

[zawawa]

eXtremal's latest kernel was merged into my Windows port. Thanks a lot!

[doktor83]

you folks need to sleep sometimes 

[zawawa]

I have been experimenting with lightweight WIN32 threads, and we may be able to gain a several percent speedup right there, independent from optimizations for the kernel. I will keep you guys updated.

on cuda and 6 cards in the rig

run with -cd 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5

(2 threads pr gpu just like claymore) then you get 100++ on the gtx 1070 If not you need to fix the code. he-he

can't wait for this to match speeds with CM  so i can use nicehash, i can make more there right now then farming zec direct but CM has issues with nicehash when it Fee mines and this software miner doesn't .all  because of that lame fee in CM.

Add -nofee CM and Optiminer almost bricked 2 of my cards...had to reflash bios to bring them back to life...

i know all about Optiminer heard some bad things it can do to cards i'm not about to try it . you confirmed it even more. flypool is making more again i just looked a buck or two more over nice went back there i watch both . won't turning it off make less or that extra speed is fee speed for clay. i guess ?.

I have to say v6 cm is far more dangerous than optiminer for me. Everything is burning. CPU constantly bottlenecking. I had no issue with optiminer. Probably people couldn't control the fans due to linux.

There is no v6 yet. Look at the code, there is nothing that brings CPU issues.2% load on i3 isn't burning, also cards are quiet and cold here...

he mean claymore v6, not silentarmy v6

Deleted
I was misled by "linux", CM doesn't provide linux versions AFAIK

Zcash 16-nov-2016:

Zcash has beeing harvested from launch

Claymore, optiminer and the sharks soon have more than 50% of the network now. And the price is declining rapidly.

Dump zcash and buy Monero and Dash. Untracable Anon coins that work..

We haven't seen ZEC in its full glamour
Still is more profitable to mine zec instead of other crypto(trading isn't included in mining)

A little suggestion to C gurus here.
I have found several projects that could suite as client enhancement like json output for monitoring additional logging and etc.
https://github.com/lausuper/pminer -> could be rewritten to suit silentarmy interface.
https://github.com/gordon-shumway/stratum-miner -> could be used for windows port.

Once silentarmy python file is compiled you don't need to do it every time
just compile sa-solver and replace.

I hope they do to, java can be really awesome to use meaning json output and hope they add API access for this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=676942.0 these type miners that use some of the sgminer , BFG , CG commands still seem the best way to do it. once this is all fixed up good plz add api access for awesome miner its a really nice program, i don't code so maybe off some on the API request . get the speeds first Please .

The dupe problem on zwawas build still remains but its bit better.

Edit over time the dupe problem gets even worse. 1/3 of shares submitted are flagged as dupe.
