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.

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

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

-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

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..

 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.

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) ... ?

Take a look at this site, it calculates the approximate amount and time depending on the mining power.

thank you so much guys for your help, eventually i will buy a powerful video card (if available lol) im also trying cpu mining with nheqminer on my work computer, is it ok if i do both on my home computer? i got a R9 270 2GB, 16gb ram and i7 6700k with water cooling

You can run both a cpu miner and a gpu miner at the same time however I have a feeling that it will cost more in electricty to run the cpu miner (it will max out your cpu and run the computer harder, fans more, etc) than what it will make since the difficulty is so high now.  But it's not a bad thing to try if you are trying to just learn more about the process.  Give it a try.

Please do tell what I am doing wrong.
config.txt

Code:

Also, second question,
If you use launch options but also have config.txt configured, which one takes priority? Is there any condition by which the miner will switch it's config to the launch options <--> config.txt or vice-versa?

[blksith0]

Also how do you decide the best configuration when it comes to those environment variables?
All that GPU_etc. etc. settings. Where can I learn what exactly they do and decide what's best for my Radeon 280X?
