Claymore's ZCash/BTG AMD GPU Miner v12.6 (Windows/Linux)

[markus124]

Can anyone post their start script or config file for mining zclassic or on nicehash? I keep getting an error when trying to mine elsewhere besides default site.  Thanks!

set GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
set GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
set GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

set GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

ZecMiner64.exe -allpools 1 -zpool equihash.usa.nicehash.com:3357 -zwal "youraddress" -zpsw x

U need to add allpools 1

Cleaning old 7950´s from the mothballs is of very little consequense to over all mining power. Pretty dumb for anyone to think otherwise...

It was a good run with multiplied profits compared to Eth mining etc. for a while. It´s still very much nicer. 

I´m not saying all the fun is over but normalizing of mining profits is taking place..

I assume the address is the btc address or zaddress?

I want to ask anybody here who mines zcash in nicehash.com which is automatically converted to BTC.

IF i interpret correctly nicehash.com pay miners based on the accepted hashpower (with equihash algorithm in Ksol) that we (miners) delivered on certain rate. For example i read the rate in the nicehash homepage (https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp) as follow:

Algorithm    Port    Currently Paying    24h Payouts    
   
Equihash     3357       0.0142 *        0.0170 *


I interpret the data above that nicehash pay 0.0142 BTC per kilo sols (1000 sols) per day.. So if for example our rig deliver about 800 h/s (800 sol/s) and assume this 800 h/s speed accepted by nicehash.com and we mine a full day..

nicehash will pay us about 800/1000 * 0.0142 btc = 0.01136 BTC per day.


Is my calculation correct??

Appreciate any answer/respond.
(pardon my english if it is difficult to understand.. * english is not my native language)

That's exactly right.

Thank you  man for the answer..  :-)

Right now Ethereum is more profitable about 10-20%

Not even close for RX480 cards. ZEC is miles ahead in profitability.

How in the world are you doing that???

Who cares not to be rude but what is the watts per H?

I do 2.2 k h across 18 cards using 5 mobos  . Rx 470 or rx 480.

No bios bs.  I set msi after burner 4.3

My watts are 7.9 amps x 240 volts = 1896 watts say 1900

So 1900/2200=  .863 watts per H/s

My best rig does .799 watts per H/s

Yes, that is true more is better, but not at the cost of efficiency......W/Hs would be the better question!

Hi, Im having trouble with nanopool's guide for speed results.....
My miner reads 560h/s to 565h/s however on nanopool 6hrs reads 510h/s and 2hrs to 24hrs not much different. Im losing about 50+h/s. Fees would be 2.5% which is about 15h/s. Does anyone else have this problem with nanapool under cutting or is it just me....

[sorry2xs]

thats impressive my 11 cards 3 mobo =1685.774 hash, 7.775 amps x 240 volts= 1866 watts miners -I 4 that includes three monitors modem router and small switch. cards 4x480, 5x390x and 2 lonely 7950, it appears that i need to trim some fat, also no bios bs and no tweaking of the catalyst

Welcome to the wonderful world of mining! Yes, it is normal to see less hash on the pool that the local miner displays. There are other factors other than fees that play into this, such as stales, miner or GPU restarts, momentary disconnects due to your ISP or the pool itself, and also just plain old luck.

well when in doubt about a pool IMO is to run Forest run

SilentArmy coming out with a v. 6 soon as competition?

then claymore will probably have v7 or something out shortly afterwards.

anyone that have a 7950 can tell us the power consumption of the card mining eth and mining zec?

At this point the power usage is the same. I have some 7950 with stilt bios running 925/1500 undervolted to 1.0v and they are using around 180W if I mine zec or eth. I use smartplug to get my wattage reading.

Leave Nano Pool quick.  Nano pool = Nano Pay!!  They robbed me the first week when I compare my daily pay with another friend on Supernova.cc.  Not even close!! I have more hash and got paid way less than my buddy.  Complained in their thread on ZCASH forum, they blame wallet issues and other things.  I'm on Flypool now and although better, my hash is 10% lower on the pool which after 2.5% claymore is 7.5% too low even if I take out 2-3% for stales and bad shares which the pool is reporting as 0%..   I think all pools are thieves, some are just worst then others.

Please let me know how? i have same graphic cards and i get just 140.

[yun9999]

Speeeeeeed please lol let's go straight to version 8

Skip the V7?
No sir! It brings such joy and happiness upgrade process itself..

Increasing speed won't help us much at all as everyone is using Claymore right now so there's not much of an advantage other than spiking difficulty faster and killing the coin price.   Higher speed comes at higher cost as I'm seeing is much higher power usage going from V1 to V6.  It's now almost comparable to Eth solo using low power ROMs.    We're not making more money with this but we're just taxing our GPU way more.  Before it was less Core and memory intensity now it's both memory and GPU intensive hence why we can't dual mine.  I hope we're able stabilization point as squeezing more out of the GPU is not making us more money really since my guess is over 90% uses claymore now as it doesn't make sense to use anything else with the higher hash rate plus manageability via other tools such as Awesome miner.  It's best we focus on how to keep the same hash at lower power usage to let our GPU last longer.
