Genoil's ZEC miner: AMD ZCash miner for Windows - 0.6

[toptek]

Hi , will this work with modded rx 470 ?? If someone uses how much sol its giving with mod ? Ty 😊

yes it does really good don't over clock or use third party software and it should work great my three 470 do a total of 94 h or solutions together with  modded bios if i try to over clock past what the bios all ready does they crash hours later . you don't need third party software any way with this miner, mine run very cool so no fan control is needed . my cards that crash the most are my r7 370 so i stopped over clocking  them they seem to run best at defaults , beside the little bit over clocking gave me wasn't much .

you have to give it a try but don't over clock in any case you don't need to . or use third party software ive had the most problems with third party software, my 470 have been running about 8 hours now with modded bios and no errors yet i turned off everything else .

this all i use in my .bat

genoil.exe -c us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u zec t address  -p z

 sense all the setting needed are on  by default,I leave it that way, i tired  some of the other settings it made things worse or reset to defaults  .

I've put:

amd_opencl64.dll
amdocl.dll
amdocl12cl.dll
amdocl12cl64.dll
amdocl64.dll
from 16.10.3 hotfix driver

in a folder with genoil.exe and get ~34 sol with a 7970 card and ~32 sol with a 7950 card

it seems strange, but the same procedure does not affect to R9-390 card:( Only ~33 sol with -k zec zec zec option

What is the core/memory frequency of your 7970 and 7950? I run at at 1000/1250 and only get 26 sol.

Genoil 0.5 is okish, but stability is random.

My ETH rig with 4 RX470s (8Gb) sometimes runs for hours, then genoil crashes and I have to restart it every 10 minutes. Cards are modded, switching them back to stock has no effect. Setting -k zec zec hangs the miner within seconds.

My other rig, with 2 RX470s (4Gb) has -k zec zec and is rock solid stable at 60-70S/s, even if both cards are modded.

On my desktop, I sticked a 390X I had lying around, works fine too.

I guess I'm not the only one who feels like the launch of zcash for us miners has been really crappy 

Still, thanks Genoil for making somethin availble that sort of works!

if Genoil keep improving this one even after Claymore comes out i won't use Claymore and right now i mine about 15 to 20 mins a day to one of Genoil zec address after i found out i could and would have with ETH  to help out would with Claymore but that's my issue or problem, i have being force to do some thing or don't use it .  i don't mind paying for different levels of support or features but told in a  nice way if i use it I'm going to be charged to use it with no way to pay to stop it, to me that's not free . it may be free to use but it's not free once you start using it. most  stuff is free to use , picking some thing you want is all ways free and it's after you use it or buy .

Sorry i  just have issue with that sense no other miner i have used has ever done it and  if i use that miner long enough, i do donate .

When mine crash i turn off the PC  rebooting doesn't work after 5 or 6 hours of mining .once the memory is cleared out im good for another 5 to 8 hour then another shut down clears it up maybe it's something in the memory or network a reboot doesn't clean out that a power off does. . over clocking seems to make it worse so i don't over clock or use third party software but a modded bios seems ok . third party software seems to be  bad .don't need it any way for fan speed etc this miner runs stuff like were gaming not over clock very cool.

That is right. The Genoil miner is very GPU demanding although it does not use the cores very efficiently.

I agree, Claymore's ETH miner works great, but the fact hat it isn't opensource and that there's the dev fee is kind of a bugger...but after trying the other miners, I have to say Claymore's just works.

I'd happily mine a bit for Genoil if this gets to something perfectly stable. Right now I just can't afford it, everything's finally stable lol

It's not working with Cape Verde gpus.

Yes it works. Just as proof of work, not profitable:

Genoil, are there any plans of adding an API to this miner, to provide mining statistics?
I'm getting many requests about adding support for your miner in the application Awesome Miner.

If the Claymore miner can have more than 100H/s for the AMD R9 390, and other miner cannot, then we will use Claymore.

I'm one .

This will work with minera and with the stratum-proxy with API Access for sure , i was able to figure out how to  mine ETH with minera using sgminer-gm because it gives that kind of access was doing it with minera beta last week but that's about all the DEV wants me to say about the beta till it goes to public beta, any one can join now just ask Mich the DEV of minera, for access .

Processor is an AMD Sempron 145.  I know it is slow but didn't think anything faster was needed when graphics cards are doing the mining.  Was also trying to not use as much electricity with this processor.  Anyway, so I need a faster processor?

Unlock the other core if you can. One of my all Tahiti rigs uses the same CPU, and it was a real slowpoke with this miner until I realized it was the CPU holding it back and I hadn't unlocked both cores yet. That machine is now mining much faster.

Not a problem on my Intel rigs, though the 7 card rig isn't mining to its full potential yet. I suspect that one could use more CPU as well - it's a mixed Tahiti/Hawaii/Pitcairn rig. Incidentally, that one is more stable with 0.4.2 than 0.5. 0.5 will mine for a minute or two and then the cards drop out one by one.

my miner start mining but after a while it shows 0 sol/s.... what is the problem ?? how to solve it. Please help me

I didn't say i wouldn't use it, anyone would if it does that for AMD cards i did say i have issue with using it because of the fee and if this miner stands with it once it is released, i won't use it . and keep donation mining so many days a week sense it would be about the same but im not forced to . right now i plan to donation mine every day this week for 15 to 20 mins on one of my fastest single card rigs even made a bat file for it after that one or two days a weeks for a while  and wish i knew about when i farmed eth. no offense intended what's 15 or 20 mins a day you won't miss it and it's not that is not affordable, I  just do it ,again, no offense intended.

someone with a R9390/x R9290/x RX480 what performance od you get at stock clocks?

A stock 390x gives around 30S/s (varies between 28-34 for me). I can't tell you for rx480, but the 470 does about the same.

[xxcsu]

Genoil's 0.5 running fine for me rock stable in the past 10+ hours on all of my 6xrx480 rigs with my custom bioses
- pc with nvida gtx 980 / 5960x cpu hashing around 50 sol/s
- 6 gpu's rx480 rigs hashing around 170-190sol/s
im using nheqminer_v0.3a_ paralell with genoil's miner for cpu's on all the rigs
have a problem with one of my 4 rx480 (nitro) rig setup  sometimes 1-2 card hashing speed going down to zero , and staying there till i restart the miner

[36524s]

Please help with bat file...
genoil.exe -c zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -u Genoil.SilentArmy -p z -i 16 -w 64 -P 1 -g 1
r390 working with that... but at radeon sapphire 8gb 480 i get "clGetDeviceIDs"

for open CL set -P 0 instead of -P 1

I'm curious about this. Is there a performance difference between open cl and what is the other option?

my 470 with a modded bios do about the same , i can't say for any other cards but can for  R7370 2gb it does 20 to 27 both i have 2 and my R9 280 3gb   that was the amazing one to me does a whooping 29 or better but ranges from 27 to 36 , at stock setting i may mode that bios to see what that does, i was impressed.  the 470 do about what i thought they would once he fixed the miner. the 370 kind of  impressed me but that was a bad buy on my part i didn't do enough research on what card to get and trusted some one found out later the price i paid at the time for 2, i could have got 1 really good card  or  two much better cards if I had shopped around.

[xxcsu]

on v 0.4.2 i got error: clGetDeviceIDs

what I have to do Genoil?

I had the same problem with one of my 6 cards setup on windows 10, (worked fine for ETH mining) tried everything , uninstall amd driver , used DDU , tried 1 card connected to the mobo , installed different drivers (older newer) nothing helped .. Finally after a long hours to try to find out what the hell going on , i decided to reinstall win 10 and the latest amd driver . That is fixed my problem , after that the 6card setup hashing perfect with genoil's miners
