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

[dlx]

20% is at scam level.  But it's too soon to tell, i think they will lower it after a point.

I think it's about how much of the money needs to be invisible.  If it's 50%, then the long term price will be BTC = ZEC, if it's 10%, then will go to 0.1 BTC.

Of course more coins with same technology will come up, so it will be less than this.

if ZEC goes below $250 i doubt that it is still worth mining, will everybody switch back to ETH?)

Everyone switches to the most profitable coin and that's when it becomes less profitable.

[Hotmetal]

As someone mentioned before, this coin has become a mine and dump coin. With the latest huge drop in price the profits are almost equal to ETC now. Although  Zec is still not present ( )  in http://www.whattomine.com/coins, for my small home farm of 280x and 390's (1200 sols/s) this is the reality. If we as a community do not learn how to care for our coins, sooner or later our profits will be gone. I mean, every time the pools pay to the miners there is a rush to fill the buy book in poloniex. I am not saying that we should wait too long but there is a way to sell in small portions with a minimal negative impact on the price. I do not consider myself as a good trader but I managed to doble my Zec profits selling during the spikes and not affecting the price in a negative way at all. Just a food for thought while squeezing another sols from your cards   Very good miner by the way. I don't have any issues with it at all!

P.S. In http://www.whattomine.com/coins now and then appears UTC on top - currently 3.5$ profit for 280x. I am afraid, however, that this coin is in danger of delisting in Bittrex and the buy offers are pretty small.

Click on DEFAULTS and it will reset and you'll see ZEC etc

[Tmdz]

But at least mining in general is still more profitable then it was before zec and perhaps as people retract from zec there will be more responsible people who will not insta sell.

What miner do u use for scrypt-jane?

[adaseb]

This reminds me of LBRY for some reason......

[rawbert]

speed
for 470 4gb?
 

Getting 31-35 hashes with MSI RX470 4 gb.

Has anyone succesfully clocked these 470 4gbs to hash more? I think the stock clock hashing very low.

I'm getting 41-45 on the same cards with 1500 straps 1100/1850.

[citronick]

Hi Claymore,

Do you intend to have a "-ethi 16" equivalent for your zec miner?

My 390s are running at full speed but since its has 8Gb Vram, I am sure you can push this miner to squeeze the last bits of that 8GB.

Perhaps a switch to do turbo mode?

Thanks

Come on genoil is crap for cpu usage.  Everyone knows it.  Only way I could get genoil to load at decent speed was to to click away from the windows once opened and then click back on it pulling focus away from it would kick it along.  At some point we will all have used someone previous work. who here thinks anything we do is original?  It's always based off prior people's work.  If you think the Wright brother invented flight your dead wrong.  Many came before that lead up to the Wright brothers taking flight.  All works are a progression from others past work.  To be able to copywright something as your original idea is disengenous at best. Fraudulent if you ask me.  At some point we just have to do for what's better for us all. Not bicker over the little shit.  It's like people thinking satoshi created Bitcoin. Well no. He took many others ideas and mashed them Together. Had they not come before him this would have never happened.  Do they get any credit? Never. Credit never goes to those that laid the road for you to get to where your going.  at some point everything will be open sourced. But sadly until that happens and we have the monetary system looming over us we will have the threats of being sued and blah blah blah.  We really have pinned ourselves into the corner on this one.  

Anyway thanks for the great effort claymore.  No one else was going to release a stable miner until the they mined out the coin.  I'm glad you put pressure on the cloud ops and their returns.  But I'm sure they are butthurt about it.   Bragging about their super fast miners and now we are equal.  They don't like not being over the public. It's that power ego thing they have to stroke!

Best Regards

this is so Fucking sot on.

I don't usually stand up for people, but in this case your statement is not correct at all.

Mrb's silentarmy version 3 is faster and it was the first stable gpu miner.  A few hours after version 3 was released, Claymore decided to steal mrb's code, put it in his miner, then monetize the miner with a closed source code.

I find this unethical and likely illegal.

I second that. When you code there are things you do and things you do not. I've been writing code for a long time (since 1981 - yes, I'm THAT OLD), and what I never did (neither did anyone else I talk to) is take open source, put my name on it and sell it.

This is not commercial software, so I'm not really questioning if what he did is legal or not. It's unethical. It does not matter if he stole 100 or 4000 lines of code. If he had the balls to read the 4000 lines and rewrite the code to make it faster, I would be fine with it. But he just copied it, and handed it over to those that cheer "You Sir rock!", "Mr. Claymore you are the best", and the like. It doesn't matter if he mentions mrb in the readme file. It's still called stealing.

I downloaded the Linux version and tested it. On my hardware, the performance is the same as mrb's silentarmy, so in effect it's 2.5% slower than the original... I'm not really sure why anyone would use claymore's linux binary...

BTW, I think he does have the balls to make it faster; he just prefers to steal something that's working, as long as there are people willing to use their hardware and electricity to make him money.

Until he releases a fast version that by its performance will prove that it is new code, I think that the ethical and noble thing for claymore to do is to release a Linux version without a developer's fee. If mrb releases a Windows version, then claymore should also remove the developer's fee from his Windows version. Until he releases a fast, rewritten version. Not that he has to, but out of respect to all those who have been making him money with his other miners (myself included).

Just my 2 cents

[Maxumark]

Can anyone give me optimum clock settings for 280x gpus? I have Powercolor 280x cards that can run 1150 GPU and 1500 Memory clocks but I'd like to know what settings is better.

With 1125 core and 1500 memory I am getting 44 H/s per card or a 5 280x card rig. No card mods.

[marvykkio]

 

I understand that claymore has used some of the code to another developer, but it seems exaggerated to make a controversy and point the finger at a person, I remind you that if there were no developers we could go to extract money with crappy programs that create , not optimized, then I remember, and also the fastest miner that there is at this moment, I have not tried the silent miner, but I tried just to Genoil, I get 25 hs per card, while I get claymore 52 per card, then I saw that claymore and the only updates its miner, others do 1 max 2 updates and then stop, so do not always complain and thank those who work to make the miner home available for us fans ,.
Unfortunately, the human being does not understand what it means to be a community, and help each other, greed is rampant in our Veneda centuries, so I'm not surprised at all, find me some other miner for windows that exceeds 52 h / s of 390x on a single zcash. I say it does not exist.

sorry for my english.

You are missing the point.
Claymore is using his good reputation (because of his other good miners) and he is stealing, and rebranding someone else's code.
It makes no difference if there is no other Windows miner at the moment (genoil called his own miner "a piece of shit"). You are still paying 2.5% of your hardware and electricity bill for a global replace and a compilation... to someone who admitted that he stole the code when he was caught...

And do have a look some posts before... some are reporting some "strange" behavior of his miner

[marvykkio]

I do not defend anyone, you and true claymore was wrong, but he amesso which used some of the code, and withdrew its release, now he says he was not aware of that code, we want to give the benefit of the doubt? Now we see the next version that releases,.
for the problem of the 2.5% fee will have reason and a little high as a fee, as well calculating the fee of pools, also he said that this tax will bring it to 1% just believe?

Yeah I have delisted it again as it was misleading.
Sometimes the diff drops to the super low values and coin boosts on the ranking, but there are not enough buy orders for this to be sustainable.

Btw anyone got their 380 faster? 30H/s is pretty slow  

[Tmdz]

The only reason anyone gives a shit is because they think not having a stable windows miner would earn them more profit.

[cptfisher]

at moment im using this to mine zcash calssic... better profitability than zcash  as also there is not even dev fee for them... but  only advantage of this miner is coz it is win and is very easy to downlot graphic card... else linux miner was way more stable and faster

Not sure if this was reported before... Looks like the miner will not switch to a failover pool specified in epools.txt if he can connect to the main pool and there is a timeout:

Newbie account.

Claymore directly took control within 24 hours. New version is in the works with copyright notices included.

This is no longer an issue.
