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

[muleman8]

Hi all,

May I ask for a little advice - I have been mining zec for 6 months now.  I have 6GPU's - a mixture of 7970's and 7950's. 

Am I still better mining Zcash or should I switch back to Ether? - I remember reading somewhere that ethereum mining uses less power?

any advice appreciated.

thanks

 ZEC uses less power, *AND* you will definitely see better return on the 7970 (and probably the 7950) on ZEC.
 Also, not sure if your 7950 CAN mine ETH any more - is it 2GB or 3GB?
 2 GB cards CAN'T mine ETH as the DAG file is too large.

 I don't have a 7970 - but I do have R9 280x which was the same GPU paired with a little faster (by default) ram and has pretty much the same performance on mining.

Hi,

Many thanks for this.  The results on whattomine.com show that Zec is better for 7970 and 7950 so that concurs with your advice. 

I will stick to mining Zec for now.  I may invest in some 480's eventually and start mining some ether again.

Is there going to be a problem with 3gb cards mining ZEC (like in ETH couse of DAG size)?

there is no such problem in ZEC mining.

I switched back to v 12.4 after seeing there is no improvement in hash rate while temperature is higher for my two fury X cards.

Is there any chance that Claymore NV miner be released soon? Lots of Nvidia miners coming, huge profit for dev .

Anyone tried mining with AMD FirePro W4300 4GB
How much Sol/s?

Hi i'm new in the foro so i don't know where post this, i installed the program, i have win10, 3xRX480 asus strix, i was mining eth but i want mining  zcash now, and i can't, windows freezes and shows a blue screen of thread stuck in device driver, i downgrade my driver to 16.12.2 but it wasn't work so i reinstall windows but it wasn't work either, i update the drivers too but nothing, i need some help pls.

We had similar problems with one of the 480 strix cards, it just won't mine( crashes the system after a while). Gaming is fine on it, but it just won't mine without issues.

I was not able to find solution.

What's up with my HD 7950? Why is it so fast and 65C LOL! This card is beating both the HD 7970 and the R9 280X (this has more cores for dogs sake), I think it even mined BTC at one point.

There's no point in mining ETH or ETC due to large DAG size and the ~50% reduced hashrate with Tahiti chips but you can make exactly the same profit mining MUSIC, UBQ and EXP as you do mining Zcash and company.

I mine the ZEC with the Tahiti. It is more profitable.

Hi, How much can i get with MSI rx480 8gb ( how much sol ) ? My settings 1077/2200 Mhz at dagger.

Dear Mr. Claymore
Could you include in the next version of asm an optimization for
Bonaire (Radeon R7 260X, Radeon HD 7790)
As far as I understand they are not much different from Pitcairn
Except the width memory bus  and (896/1024 ps Unit)
Not so much Bonaire is weaker to forget about them.

Bonaire should be closer to Hawaii (290 et al) than Pitcairn. Same idea though, although the core count to bus ratio doesn't come close.

i need help, im new at this and looks everything is running smooth.. but, i dont see any zcash balance on my wallet. how long does it take?
did i do something wrong?
on the config file i did this, on the second line is my wallet address from cryptonator.com, can someone tell me if im missing something?

-zpool eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333
-zwal t1dRFGtCCfPuyrHi1cxxUpEcmTxP4EVtWmG
-zpsw x
#-tt 75
#-i 8
#-powlim 50
#-a 2
#-asm 0
#-allpools 1

and when i start mining everything looks good:

ZEC: 06/21/17-22:04:52 - New job from eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333
ZEC - Total Speed: 99.624 H/s, Total Shares: 14, Rejected: 0, Time: 00:22
ZEC: GPU0 99.624 H/s

thank you.

No problem, you need to expect to reach the minimum to receive the default is 0.01.

running 3 4g 470s until more risers come but only 1 xfx card modded & 2 asus' stock but running 790ish give or take a few sols... is this normal(good or bad?)?  Also pretty sure nanopool just had a run of bad luck but should I have an allpools setting in place, I dont now.. guess after mining sha256 w/btc and ppc i just have loyalty to a single pool normally and in this case nanopool after normally mining eth w ethos.. thanks in advance and ty for the work you have done for us all Mr. Claymore sir. I hopped on the zec wagon a few days ago after getting str8 fomo.. Also prob picking up a few r9 280s tom and maybe a 1070 or 2 by end of weekend so might be runnin w zec for time to come,  Thanks in advance for any answers comment or suggestions, gday..

I run the 7970/50 on ZEC, not ETH.

thank you. how long you think it will take to reflect on my wallet? im not in a hurry, just wondering since is my first time at this, i been mining for the last 12 hrs usually 100 H/s and i dont see nothing yet. whats the minimum speed required?? 

[MinerNoob2017]

Using this miner with my RX480 Saphire to mine HUSH coin, getting 290-300 H/s, just wanted to ask how to use CPU as well... anyone is familiar with additional settings for CPU mining as well or this miner is for GPU only and I should run additional miner (nheqminer for example) ... ?
