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

[igorsantos]

I'am new to zcash mining.

I've got 325 Mh/s / Sol/s with one R9 290 and less power consumption compared to ETH Mining. Good?

That is reasonable hash rate for 290.

Mh/s or H/s?

It will be H/s.

What is the model of your video card?

325 stock or OC?

You can do much better. Hawaii seems to respond extremely well to tighter timings. Here are two threads to get you up to speed:

http://www.overclock.net/t/1561372/hawaii-bios-editing-290-290x-295x2-390-390x

http://www.overclock.net/t/1564219/modded-r9-390x-bios-for-r9-290-290x-updated-02-16-2016

You should be able to get 350-380 with a reasonable core clock / undervolt, more if you then decide to push the core.

When I try to solo mine to coinotron stratum port the miner tells me I did not specify a pool, while it works well with the same settings wehn dual mining.
In the readme it says something like I need to add "http://" to the pool address when solo mining. Did I get it right that ETH solo mining is only possible over http connection and not stratum proxy? Or did I just miss another option?

YOU ARE IN THE WRONG THREAD--

This thread has "Claymore's ZCash Miner" as the topic.  Further, "solo mining" is done with a miner and a wallet, not a pool.       --scryptr

[Bastime]

You can solo mine with Claymore miner.

[scryptr]

You can solo mine with Claymore miner.

YES, YOU CAN SOLO MINE WITH CLAYMORE'S SEVERAL DIFFERENT MINERS--

But, the term "solo mining" is properly used when mining with a wallet, not mining on a pool.  It is possible to set up Claymore's dual miner to mine on an Ethereum-based wallet, and mine Decred (or other secondary coin) on a pool at the same time.

But when you are using Claymore's dual miner to mine a single Ethereum-based coin at a pool, it is better termed "single mining".  So many new miners have misused the term "solo mining", and this in turn confuses other newer miners.  Furthermore, this thread is about Claymore's ZCash miner, and not about his dual miner.  Equihash (ZEC, etc.) algorithm won't mine DaggerHashimoto coins.

I am also aware that certain special pools have been set up to reward only the block finder with the entire block, minus a fee.  What a waste!       --scryptr

Generally, solo mine means mine to a wallet directly, do not use the pool.

Does anybody know how to say the gigabyte ga-m68mt-s2p does not recognize the rises?
I'm trying to mount a small rig but it does not recognize the rises.

Did you try plug it dirctly on the MB?

Yes it worked normally but when I connect the rises it does not recognize.

I think you need to change the risers or the slots.

One of three things are happening :
1) You did not plug in the power to the risers (molex or sata usually)
2) You have bad risers which need replacement, try them one at a time to be sure, and on the primary PCIe slot (the longest one)
3) You are plugging in the risers incorrectly on the motherboard. This could potentially fry the slot, the riser or the graphics card or even the motherboard. Here's an image to help :

This is the riser cable I use

[scryptr]

THAT RISER IS NOT POWERED--

That is an old, non-powered riser.  You are likely not transferring enough power to the GPU.

I consider non-powered risers a fire hazard.  The thin cable may overheat when attempting to power a GPU.  Try a modern, version 006c or version 007 powered USB riser.       --scryptr

OK thanks.

For your Riser problem.

Ribbon riser are not presence-shorted, so if your 16x slot only accept 16x "plug" (like the second 16x slot on my Z77A-G45)
3 solutions :
- Use a 16x - 16x riser on this slot
- Use a USB riser wich are all presence-shorted
- (This solution is not the best) Use a wire to presence-short your slot : https://www.google.fr/search?q=pice+presence+short

Is 12.5 the last planned version?

[Castreat]

It is the latest working version.   

[Knepala]

Yes obviously, but my question is if there are any more major changes or upgrades plannend.
If not I can just forget about my rig for a while.

[z0n0]

Any1 running rig with multiple GPUs on old lga775 boards?

Every time I plug riser into pcie x16 slot, the system won't start.
What could be the reason for that?
when pluged only pcie x1 works normal.
I tried changing video setting in bios (onboard, pcie...)
