Guide to Genoil Mining Zcash

[toptek]

it just happen invoided solutions (20)  then zero  hashes  on one of my miner i was lucky switching pools then  back did it , i didn't have go th the whole reboot restart thing next time i may have to . I should run a restart bat on my miners i don't so no complaints.

[joaocha]

One of my rigs just crash (i have to hard reset to work again), and it aways mined Eth+Sia with no problem, but so far i have 6 rigs, only one with this problem

In my opnion Silent army kernel still bad optimized ( cant complain it is the best we have).

I never had to reboot my rigs to restore 0 sol/s , restarting genoil aways solved .

Try removing this from your bat file, and see if works

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Well A lot of people are having a problem with genoil, so i will make things clear,
I have 6 rigs running, and dont have problem with any of them

Im using Flypool, Stable,pay right  and have a nice dashboard

Lets start from zero.

*Make a fresh windows 7/10 instalation (genoil works on both)
-If you dont want format your rig i recommend unistalling drivers using DDU and installing latest from amd

*Go in system -> advanced system configuration -> perfomance -> advanced, and change your virtual memory initial 10000 max 32768
- Click set after that, or it will not save.
- Dont forget to change power settings, or your pc will hibernate

*I recommend changing Bios to Stock , and all oc settings to stock, for testing and running (you can try changing them later)
*If you have a weak cpu, dont mine with it, or it will afect your gpu mining speed

*Download genoil 0.42, extract everything to a folder on your desktop
-create a start.bat
-First time is better to create a kernel for every Gpu at time so do the following using -g Command (0 is the first GPU)

genoil.exe -c us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u t1PbU7yPYcrJkZFSxJU4soeyvYJf9VwUj1h.RIGNAME  -k zec -p z -g 0

Launch the start.bat after it begins to mine, close and start another gpu

genoil.exe -c us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u t1PbU7yPYcrJkZFSxJU4soeyvYJf9VwUj1h.RIGNAME -k zec -p z -g 1

Do it just changing the -g value From 0 to 5 ( or the number of gpus you have)

Nice!

Now lets start a test with everything together

genoil.exe -c us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u t1PbU7yPYcrJkZFSxJU4soeyvYJf9VwUj1h.RIGNAME  -k zec -p z

If you have a cpu with integrated video, just use this (if you are geting no opencl devices error)

genoil.exe -c us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u t1PbU7yPYcrJkZFSxJU4soeyvYJf9VwUj1h.RIGNAME  -k zec -p z -P 1

Now , if everything runs fine

change the bat file again, with this script, it ill close miner every hour (cause genoil sometime fails) and open again

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
:start
taskkill /F /IM genoil.exe
start /MIN genoil.exe -c us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u t1PbU7yPYcrJkZFSxJU4soeyvYJf9VwUj1h.RIGNAME  -k zec -p z
TIMEOUT /T 3600
goto start
pause

So runs the start.bat it ill start genoil minimized,do not close the start.bat windows

DONT FORGET TO CHANGE THE ZCASH ADRESS, OR U ILL MINE TO ME
Nice mining!

Start Bats (If you dont know how to make it) just put inside genoil folder

the bold  type spot confused me . 

 I have two windows one with the mining info is hidden the bat with the timer set for 2 hour not one(used 7200 not 3600), but it does work I will post back later. this looks like a saver as I had a lot of issues today.  I am also doing this with 0.4.1 genial not 0.4.2

[joaocha]

Sorry for confusion i ill edit it , version 0.42 support older gpus, so i used it for better compatibility

[Taxidermista]

The loop trick doesn't work too well, the thing crashes 2 min after the restart so one hour idle afterwards. A waste of time.

you can adjust the time, there are other problems in your rig, 2 mins is too short.

[Trimegistus]

Yes , when miner works for an hour and restarts it starts to give 0sol/s on some gpus, to restart it properly to work again well i have to delete the bin file in tha cash  of the miner and start it again!
It need tweaking obviosly!

Deleting the bin files is a good idea. I had issues with that too!

[joaocha]

I changed to www2.coinmine.pl , flypool was giving too much errors, i ill test and report

What about suprnova? It appears to be stable

I had some problems with too much disconect and buggy dashboard on suprnova, but you can try
coinmine seens  fast responsive, no laggy site

[fr4nkthetank]

coinmine works great to be honest, flypool is horrible.  cant say for suprnova I havent tried.  OP about the restart, you could do something like
:loop
start genoil...
timeout ...
taskkill...
timeout (like 3 seconds)
gotoloop...

Dont know if its better logic, but it seems easier to read

[semajjames]

miningpoolhub works ok ,,

is there any way to change fan speeds and gpu clocks with this miner ?

if it going to get anymore updates that's coming right now you have to use afterburner or speed fan  for widows .
