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

[tutorialevideo]

470 4 gb nitro moded/ 70-71/s
on v.3.1 52-54.

With -i default i will test with i 2 to check on hashrate.

-nofee: set "1" to cancel my developer fee at all. In this mode some recent optimizations are disabled so mining speed will be slower by about 5%.
   By enabling this mode, I will lose 100% of my earnings, you will lose only 2.5% of your earnings.
   So you have a choice: "fastest miner" or "completely free miner but a bit slower".
   If you want both "fastest" and "completely free" you should find some other miner that meets your requirements, just don't use this miner instead of claiming that I need
   to cancel/reduce developer fee, saying that 2.5% developer fee is too much for this miner and so on.

Claymore, please, don't waste your valued time on those bastards. It's just an envy.

P.S. You ROCK, man!

Hi Claymore.
Good software! I appreciate for your effort!
However, Our asian miners including me are facing some serious problem.
Since US mining pool which you have set up as DevFee, increase ping rate which affects to my internet connection,
ends up with internet blocking issue.
So, I would like to buy a copy of non-devfee miner or let me know your donation-jar.
Please consider that we doesn't have a chance to mine for devfee.

Here is my email address. You can email me anytime
: teamib1234@gmail.com

Thanks.

-i 2 I got 19% CPU load r9 390x win10

We want to pay a fee. Just not 2.5%. We want to pay 1% fee.

As always, I will reduce my fee when a miner with similar speed is available. Though I'm not sure that you will really notice 1.5% gain which you want.

We were there up to your version 2.0, but it's kind of hard to keep up with you.  :-)
My most recent ideas in theory should get as high as 150sol/s on a Rx 480.

I don't like Linux, so I used Genoil's miner to see the speed. May be it shows same speed on Polaris, but I tested it on 390X card. Two Genoil's miner instances showed me about 30H/s, my first version shows about 50H/s. You can check it easily. May be on Linux or on different GPU situation is different, I did not check it, but >90% people saw that my v1.0 is much faster than SA engine. Though 10% saw that speeds are similar or SA is better, they all use Linux, so may be it's the reason.
So I reached 100H/s on my favorite 390 cards but it can show even more speed.

I think there is more of a difference between drivers on Linux.  Maybe speed difference also people with different CPUs?  Some have posted their personal optimizations, but it is hard to judge typical speeds for sure.

Hi Claymore,

I'm using your ETH/ZEC linux miner (ETH since a long time).

I really appreciate your work on both project.

I'm happy to be able to customize my configuration of the miner easily.

I'm currently stucked with the 1.1 ZEC linux miner... It's hard to see other people on Windows having 25-40% more than you.

I know people say sad thing, and to be honest, mainly of us don't care about this.

We just want continue to use claymore WITH dev-fee, because you are doing a win-win (more hashrate, more income, that's normal to pay you).

If you don't want share linux release code with troller, just pm me a link 

Hope you will understand

Cheers

If you are a thief, there are some ways to bypass my fee.
If you just don't want to pay devfee - I've added "-nofee" option in v4.0 that will be released now. Similar to XMR miner.
If you think that I earn too much - create better miner.
If you are full of threats - I don't care, too much haters/trolls are here already.

Well, I can also stop development of my miner if people want it. Actually I did not want to create this miner at all. Or I could sell this miner privately to big farms as probably djm34 did and you will never see it. Are you sure you want it?

Ignore the haters Claymore.
Most of us appreciate your great miners very much and will happily pay the devfee.
Keep up the good work!

Hi just registered to say thank you to Claymore and to forum members for all the useful information here,I have been mining for 5 months first for ether with claymore miner and now for zcash with claymore miner,I am happy to pay dev fee and appreciate claymore levelling the playing field for us small home miners,I have 10 rx480 which have run without any issues using all claymore releases and the speed increases are most welcome,I have been on forum from start of zcash but just to read and learn from everyone and just wanted to pass on my appreciation, Keep up the great work Claymore your famous here in Scotland.

[Golku]

You are the man! The first day i was mining zcash i was getting like 30 sol with my rx 480 but now its like 80 sol im impressed you rock!!

[vectisitch]

strange. 3 rigs.
rig 1: 2x290x's on a 2600k cpu overclocked to 4.7ghz. these are now running at @ 85 sols each the cpu is running at 20% on -i 2. great

rig 2: 3x 290's,1x 290x on a skt 775 board with an old pentium 4 cpu. this rig is giving 315 sols,cpu runnimg at 100% on -i 2 but stable. great

rig 3: 3x 290's, 1x290x on skt 775 board with an e8400 cpu. this rig is only giving @ 240 sols cpu running at 100% with -i 2 but stable. but the sols are a lot lower on this rig for some reason

Pretty much everybody uses this miner for Zcash so every performance update only makes profitablity higher in the hours following the update until everyone uses the new version.

He won't send you the source code.

Just install Windows 10, its FREE for 30 days and in 30 days I am sure there will be a linux miner.

No idea why Windows people never want to install Linux
and Linux people never want to install Windows.

I dual boot both OS's and I can even switch which OS to load while being headless by updating grub thru SSH.

[Shurikenix]

gj Clay r9 nano 100+ but polaris is still low 55-65 rx480 8 gb stock

my rx480 8gb doing 80
bigger hashrate - bigger electricyty consumption. Profit is the same. Good job, Claymore.

[vg54dett]

But Claymore. Maybe some more options for -i parametr.

I got 6x R9 390 in a rig. And whe use -i 2 I got 100% CPU load, -i 1 I got 100% CPU load and -i 0 I got 25-33% CPU load.
I cant load my CPU correctly.

Same here.
We need a -i 0.5

I tested it on i7 3770 CPU so I don't think that CPU was a problem... I can test it again but have no time...

Never used Linux before but have to admit I have been intrigued by it.

Is it easy to get to grips with? 

[tytanick]

Claymore i want pay you 4% fee for newer version of ZCASH miner
I have no problem with fee, its your work and if someone doesnt like it - dont use it.
Its clear market law.
Please reconsider making linux updates

-nofee option - GREAT CHOICE !
If someone doesnt like fee then he could turn it off but mining slower.
No more trolls  which would like to get EVERYTHONG for NOTHING ....
You are people so angry and so selfish .... its terrible that we live in so corrupted and unpleasnt world ....
Its a shame.

I don't like to use Linux because in general it is a royal pain to set things up.  I would use it to get 6 cards on ASrock H81 BTC PRO boards, but when I set up, was dual mining, and can't undervolt in Linux.  Some cards I can bios mod, so I could do it now, I just don't want to mess with it, and Win7 can do 5 cards with some MB Bios changes. I have used it before from time to time, and tried getting it going on HTPC, but ran into too many issues.  Also When Ubuntu changed to new garbage UI, turned me off more. I know you can switch window managers, or use diff distro, but that's also more work.  If I wasn't as busy, and have 5 kids, I would consider it more.  I use Ubuntu Server VMs for work some though (web/android dev).  So not against it, I just use what works best for me.
