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

[Cryptozillah]

Miner on Flypool didnt working.
Either going from 30 sol to 0 sol mining during an hour or a couple of hours.
Either turning off.


How to set miner to restart himselff if sols dropped?

You can auto restart the miner every 5min uisng this scrip

:restart
start  genoil.exe -c eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u t1N32yBJi27zyAgZLvWjsCFVyHLr4s23NHz.RIGGPU -p z -i 20 -w 64 -P 0
TIMEOUT /T 300
taskkill /f /im genoil.exe
TIMEOUT /T 5
goto restart
pause

But the truth is it does not help as the miner sometimes get the error in the first 1min or sometimes longer.

We will just have to wait for genoil to get his miner stable.

Dont restart a working rig.

It is better to set it up to restart only when a gpu goes dead.

I switched miner setup at the red line. I still have some other issues with one 150s/s rig, thats why it is still a bit jumpy but you should see the difference in uptime.

Can you copy paste the settings to not downloading any scummy rar friles from google drive?)

So until the big boys are ready with their 100Sol/s cannons, you can mine some ZEC with this piece of shit.

any idea how to fix
clgetdeviceids

drivers 16.10.3 (just reinstalled today)
win 10
rig 6 gpu (4xRX480, 2xRX470)
worked fine for ETH, and now still there as i dont know how to fix this issue.


works fine on all other rigs with differents gpus, and the same win 10, even on some of them different drivers. what differs this rig is rx480, all other rigs has 470 and 380. but should it be really the problem?

worked fine on nicehash yesterday, but something happened at nignt and all rigs couldnt connect to server anymore. so i need alternative...
in nicehash i added in bat file -op 1, only on this rig, on all other worked without it.

[Yerba]

I had same problem. Platform 1 solved it. Put -P 1 insted -P 0.

[NakkNakka]

Deleting the bin file in the cache may solve your problems too.

yeah worked!!! thanks

comparing with nicehash pool, on nanopool i get much more sols...were they robbing me yesterday?

I cannot recommend this ZEC miner. Absolutely unstable. I tried it on 6 rigs (all were stable with eth mining), but I have only problems, on some it stopped work in very short time, or hashrate dropped to 0, or it crashed.
If is working hashrate is high, but...

You need the powershell stuff, its not only a bat file.
I use that on all my miners, not on any other system in my house.

I would recommend - runned it on 16 ethereum rigs ( 280x, 390, 290, 290x cards ) over night and just 2 rigs dropped one card.

same here, i am sick&tired of this fucker.

now it runns but 1 or sometimes 2 cards gives 0s

[Termie]

runs apparently stable now after upgrading Crimson 15.12 drivers to 16.10.3.
But at hashrates I can´t notice any difference to CoinsForAll pool miner 0.2.2 which (I guess) using SilentArmy v1 at the moment.
Is Genoil using v2 already?

@sam29 if Genoil can´t do it right for you -> program your own miner instead of call him f......

Genoil

Awesome work! Its mining well....yes a bit unstable but best out there IMO.

Quick question. What is the setting to have this miner auto restart every 30 mins. I have a few cards acting up and need a auto restart. :p

Your best bet is to run it in a loop:

:loop
genoil.exe ...
timeout -t 5
goto loop

so it starts over and over again and have another bat running which kills the miner periodically:

:loop
timeout -t 300
taskkill -t -f /im genoil.exe
goto loop



Tried it on nvidia out of curiosity but it didn't work (Mining thread quit zec-sa#2clEnqueueNDRangeKernel(-4)).

Not surprising just thought I'd give it a try. Interestingly it also didn't seem to recognize the intensity argument (error: unrecognised option '-i').

Best advice! Thanks, I've did a loop to all my rigs. For now is a very good solution to keep the gpu's up.

However, the hashrate is not affected (zcash.flypool.org) if is restarting on every 20-30 minutes?

What AMD driver version are you using for your 280x?  I have 5x 280x and I have one card that always crashes the display driver.  Also, are you using stock firmware on your cards from the factory? Undervolting or anything like that?  I think my firmware was setup for scrypt way back when.  My miners have been off for 2 years and have since created a dual boot ubuntu (for wallet) and Windows 10 to get this thing back mining.

What change on 0.6 version?

[Genoil]

Released 0.6.

- time & thread logging
- fancy console colors
- logs output to file in ./logs directory
- 0 sols/s watchdog
- some minor SilentArmy improvements[/li][/list]

The 0 sols watchdog is enabled by default. Because I don't know yet what is actually causing it, I have added three ways to deal with it. You can specify that with -f flag.

-f 0: attempt to restart the GPU.
-f 1: leave the gpu thread and do nothing (basically what happens now)
-f 2: quit the application. when used in conjunction with a looping bat file, this could be most effective.

Still, loads to do before I can call it 1.0, but it's getting better every release.

Thanks ppl who either accidentally or intentionally leave the default bat file like it is!

[fr4nkthetank]

Guys dont hate on Genoil, his miner is actually pretty good for the time being.  Just dont mine at flypool, direct your hate towards them, your genoil is shutting down because of them.  when you send incorrect shares their stratum does some shit and you go down.

edit:  wow thanks genoil new version.  fancy colors ?  Now its getting serious

Do you think it's better -f 0 than -f 2?

wow wow TY
