Do anyone have same problem like my Radeon 390x - it is beginning mine with speed of 400H/s and after 1 hour it is just 250H/s...

My Radeon 390x get --» 501 H/s in Overclock
My Radeon 480 Nitro+ get --» 375 H/s in Overclock

Is flypool having a problem paying out atm ? The last payment I had was almost 1 day ago. I have currently set my payment amount to be 0.1 ZEC - I am averaging about 0.65 ZEC so I normally get a few payouts a day. I am currently about 0.5 ZEC short - any ideas ?

I do not have this problem. How big is your immature balance?

i believe zec price will heat $200 before december

Hello,

I'm mining with a AMD R9 290 SAPPHIRE.
I'm wondering if someone can help me to modify the bios for lower consumption please?

many thanks.

can u tell me overclock setup for 390x and nitro?

Hello,

I'm wondering if someone can help me to modify the bios for lower consumption please?

many thanks.

I found that using MSI Afterburner and playing with the core voltage settings (mine is now at -100), the intensity settings in the miner software, and the powlim settings, that I could reduce power consumption significantly without the loss of much Hashing capability. I measured the power draw with a plug in monitor at the wall.

I'm getting averages 1150/hs with one r9 290 and two r9 Fury's using 600w of power using the stock BIOS.

Guys, do you want ZEC to rise? If you do, why you put 40-50-60 btc sell walls on poloniex during pumps? Do you really think that your lazy trading will bring you profit? Place small bids several times during the pump if you are so eager to sell at that price. Thank you!

Doubtful it is the miners, as most who are going to sell, sell small amounts daily and not accumulate 40-60 BCT worth of ZEC to just to place a sell wall as you describe a few pennies higher than the market rate. Much more likely the action of speculators and/or whales trying to manipulate the price.

So is there a way for miners to help raise ZEC?

If Zec makes 5-6% there is every chance  the pump will gain speed and reach 20-50 and even 100%. It is a pity that all pumps ended too early because of 1-2 noobs that put sell walls. The moment they put 20 and more btc the pump stops, because the traders see that there is no way this wall will be eaten provided that the 24hr volume is so small and the usual trades are around 1-2 btc max. Of course the bid will never be filled so the noob gets no profit at all but he damages the profits of the whole community.

UP! Keep it in your minds always.

got my investment out plus $5 for the trouble. Every coin I have now is pure profit. But since ZEN will be the one supporting IPFS from the let go wondering how high it will go

What Do you think about replacing a r9 280 with a Gtx 1060? Same Hash, lower power..

[szafa]

Minning Zcash or buy Zcash this is my curious question.

[Intristing]

What Do you think about replacing a r9 280 with a Gtx 1060? Same Hash, lower power..

It might be better to use the 1080 Ti.

[vatusasid]

Minning Zcash or buy Zcash this is my curious question.

It depends on your electricity price.

Lol yeah, bit pricey card.. 0.07 usd/kW is my price so profit is good

Can you share the OC specs for the 480 that give you 375H/s?
Is it just one card or a full x6 Rig?

Thanks

Thanks man, what are your settings in claymore for the r9 290 please?

[Longsnowsm]

@Claymore,  Are we going to get a NVidia version of your Zcash miner?  I finally decided to branch out into the NVidia cards and of course looked to see if you had a miner for them... I was surprised to see you hadn't added NVidia to the Zcash support. 

[Gagana]

I'm confused. It think I found a bug. And I also want to suggest a big improvement, Mr.Claymore.

I use -di detect option and apply the output to the config.txt

and it works:

Then I see this in the console log:

I say: OMG, I turn off GPU3 until I understand what's happening. And press "3" button. What I see some time later?
16:25:25:183   aa0   ZEC - Total Speed: 1656.333 H/s, Total Shares: 104, Rejected: 0, Time: 00:01

Mmm? It looks like GPU3 is still working, but GPU4 is turned off instead. Isn't it a bit confusing, Mr.Claymore? OK, I say, may be it is related to -gmap option? Comment it by # And... Yes! After deactivating -gmap I see that the key pressed matches the GPU. If I press "3", then GPU3 stops mining, as I see on the temperature values. So, here is a bug, I suppose.

There are 3 lists of GPUs.
The first list is the GPU list to use in the config. It doesn't correspond with any other software. There is no way to reorder GPUs here. So, there is no way to make it corresponding to Atiflash, Whattool, MSI Afterburner, GPU-Z, HWinfo and other tools.
The second list is about the performance in the console log. By default it is the same as the first one. But you may reorder the GPUs here by using "-di" option.
The third list is about the temperature and it does correspond with Atiflash, Whattool, MSI Afterburner, GPU-Z, HWinfo and other tools. But if you want, you may reorder it with "-gmap" option.

They are completely independent!

I don't think that using OpenCL enumeration as the main one (with no alternative) is a good idea because it falls into conflict with most all of the other software. It confuses users. But OK, it's your choice, Mr.Claymore and the community has accepted it.  

But let's explain it carefully in the docs. Let's say clearly, that there are two independent lists of GPU. That -di affects the performance list only, -gmap affects the temperature list only. And "0..9" keys in runtime matches ... which list?! And if I use "-di 210", then "0..9" keys in runtime matches ... which list?

And if I use

-tt 80,82,85 for GPU0, GPU1, GPU2 respectively, then these 0,1,2  means the ORIGINAL enumeration (from OpenCL), but not what I see in the console if I use also "-di 210"!

The things are going less complicated with "-altnum" option introduced in the latest Dual miner. With "2" value we will see exactly GPU numbers, that is great! But it's possible to solve most all the issues by implementing something like

-alo - adapter list order, that is applied to the OpenCL output first of all. All other indexes are applied to the list, already reordered by "alo" option.

Really! All I need is to order the adapters either the same way as the other software does or as these adapters physically placed. Both options are achievable with this new option.

Dear Mr.Claymore, please, stop all our troubles with those ... ATI programmers of OpenCL forever!

[Claymore]

I'm confused.

Why did you set both "-di" and "-gmap" to the same value? This way you changed order in list of GPUs, then did the same for the list of temperatures. So both list will match again. But original (default) match is not good for your system. That's the answer.
Use "-di" only, remove "-gmap".

Hi! I have two GPUs on my board: nvidia 1080ti and amd r9 370. OS - linux debian x64.
Trying to mine zec-s. NVIDIA card is ok, but I can't force to work my AMD card.
Using zecminer64:
Zecminer64 -zpool coinotron.com:3346 -zwal * -zpsw * -allpools 1
First 10-20 min's its ok, but when it's starts to mine zec.suprnova.cc, the work finish.
The log is:
DevFee: ZEC: Stratum - connecting to 'zec.suprnova.cc' <46.105.114.185> port 2242
SSL / TLS encryption is enabled
DevFee: Pool sets new share target: 0x003c3c3c (diff: 1088H)
DevFee: start mining (90sec)
GPU0 t = 61C fan = 4%
WATCHDOG: GPU 0 hangs in OpenCL call, exit
WATCHDOG: GPU 0 hangs in OpenCL call, exit
WATCHDOG: GPU 0 hangs in OpenCL call, exit
WATCHDOG: GPU 0 hangs in OpenCL call, exit
Can not even kill the task via killall -9 ... it stuck
Trying to start clinfo, it's stucked too! Only reboot can solve this problem. (But the Nvidia card at that moment is continue to mine without no problem).
There are no overheating, the temp is ok all the time before stuck
GPU0 t = 65C fan = 23%
ZEC: 04/29 / 17-21: 02: 42 - New job from coinotron.com:3346
ZEC - Total Speed: 0.000 H / s, Total Shares: 1, Rejected: 0, Time: 00:13
ZEC: GPU0 0.000 H / s

How can I solve it?
