Optiminer/Zcash v1.7 (GPU, Windows+Linux, AMD)

[philipma1957]

taken from "Optiminer -h":

Code:

USAGE: 

   Optiminer.exe  [--pci-mode <0-3>] [--benchmark <seconds>]
                  [--list-devices] [--force-generic-kernel]
                  [--experimental-kernel] [--nodevfee] [-i <number>] ... 
                  [-m <port>] [--watchdog-cmd <command>]
                  [--watchdog-timeout <seconds>] [--max-log-files <count>]
                  [--max-log-file-size <bytes>] [-l <filename>] [-v] [-p
                  <string>] [-u <string>] [-s <host:port>] [-d <integer>]
                  ...  [-c <integer>] [--] [--version] [-h]


Where: 

   --pci-mode <0-3>
     Communicate mode between host and GPU. Valid values are 0-3.

   --benchmark <seconds>
     If specified runs a benchmark for the given number of seconds on all
     specified devices and then exists the miner.

   --list-devices
     List all recognized devices with their platform and device id and
     quit.

   --force-generic-kernel
     Force use of generic kernel even when a device-specific kernel is
     available

   --experimental-kernel
     Unlock faster experimental kernel for certain graphic cards.

   --nodevfee
     If set, the dev fee will be disabled. Miner will run a bit slower.
     Enable this if you do not want any more improvements of the miner and
     want to earn less.

   -i <number>,  --intensity <number>  (accepted multiple times)
     Worker intensity. 0 means auto-detect based on available memory.
     Higher values use more GPU memory. Can be specified once applying the
     same intensity to all devices or once per device (same order as -d).

   -m <port>,  --monitoring-port <port>
     The monitoring port to listen on for HTTP requests. Disabled by
     default. If enabled, accepts requests from everywhere.

   --watchdog-cmd <command>
     The watchdog command to execute. See --watchdog-timeout.

   --watchdog-timeout <seconds>
     Timeout after which the watchdog triggers if a GPU does not produce
     any solutions. It will execute the command specified by
     --watchdog-cmd. You can use this command to do an appropriate action
     (e.g. reset driver or reboot). 0 disables watchdog.

   --max-log-files <count>
     Maximum number of rotated log files to keep.

   --max-log-file-size <bytes>
     Maximum size of log file before it gets rotated.

   -l <filename>,  --log-file <filename>
     Write logs to given file

   -v,  --verbose
     Verbose logging.

   -p <string>,  --password <string>
     Stratum password.

   -u <string>,  --user <string>
     Stratum user.

   -s <host:port>,  --stratum <host:port>
     Host and port of the stratum server to use.

   -d <integer>,  --device <integer>  (accepted multiple times)
     A OpenCL device id to use. If no devices are specified, all are used.

   -c <integer>,  --platform <integer>
     The OpenCL platform id to use.

   --,  --ignore_rest
     Ignores the rest of the labeled arguments following this flag.

   --version
     Displays version information and exits.

   -h,  --help
     Displays usage information and exits.

In a mixed GPU rig farm, ie RX480 rigs and R9-Fury, 390s rigs - would the following be of any help to enhance the performance of what is at stock setting of v1.7 ?

   --pci-mode <0-3>
     Communicate mode between host and GPU. Valid values are 0-3.

   --force-generic-kernel
     Force use of generic kernel even when a device-specific kernel is
     available

   --experimental-kernel
     Unlock faster experimental kernel for certain graphic cards.

Just started to get the following error on a rig that previously had no issues at all: [warning] [GPU0] Share submission failed: Invalid Equihash solution! (795 / 989)

Believe it started after a reboot.  Its the same GPU giving the error on the rig.  I've tried changing settings such as intensity.  When I switched to Claymore 12.3, all cards hash with no errors.

Here is my bat: -s zstratum+tls://us1-zcash.flypool.org:3443 -u <wallet>.$rigName -p x -m 8080 -i 4 --pci-mode 3

Any ideas?

Thank you!

@ optiminer will their be a new version soon just curious

[freedom777]

Add a temperature limit for cards + slightly improved speed (+2% in ideal) and the optiminer will be the best!!! I'm serious! You can do it?
I use claymore because of this(temp limit).

[shadabahmed]

is this miner better than claymore?

[VirosaGITS]

is this miner better than claymore?

Not right now i'd say. We serve a large number of farms and nobody can get this stable on RX cards, on linux.

Yeah I've had to switch myself.  No response on the thread for my issues or direct PM to Opti.

best pool for mining zcash???

[citronick]

best pool for mining zcash???

I have given up pools.

Now I just sell my hash to Nicehash and get BTC upfront.

Crazy buyers paying premium for my hash... well .... I am not complaining.

That's awesome to know man, didn't know Nicehash would trade for BTC upfront, I'll have to look into that.


As to the OP regarding pools... I used suprnova, the problem I had with them is that it wouldn't let me cash out, I reached the minimum limit and I don't know why it wouldn't allow me to (the option to do so was "greyed" out on my dashboard), I posted and I emailed them, so now I have some stuck zec coins in there.  I'm not saying anything bad about them, but that's just my experience, plenty of good experiences from other people using them.

So... I too, am looking for another pool for Zcash using Optiminer, any recommendations out there from the community?

how i connect at nice hash
any details

which miner i must used

and how i can connect/??

[stoon]

https://zclassic.miningpoolhub.com or http://zcash.flypool.org are both good pools IMOP.

jelin1984 As for how to connect to nice hash, YOU REALLY NEED TO READ before commenting. IT'S about 11 posts ago or the help file.

[jelin1984]

i did not see anywhere that

how i can connect at nice hash

[citronick]

i did not see anywhere that

how i can connect at nice hash

-s equihash.usa.nicehash.com:3357 -u <putyourBTCaddresshere> -p x

thanks and for europe

eu  ?

some one said nicehash automatically mine most profitable coin u only have to put ur btc address is that right?

Please do some reading at https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=gstarted and https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp

Nicehash is buyer/seller marketplace.

You dont do any mining actually but sell your hash power to people that wants to rent hash to mine coins.

In return you as seller will receive BTC as payment for renting out your hash.

Likewise, buyers will pay in BTC to NH to rent hash power to any algorithm listed in their marketplace.

@shadabahmed - you are referring to the Nicehash Windows Miner - it sells the most profitable hash to buyers in NH marketplace, and you get rewarded BTC as a seller.

Guys, please further any other inquiries to Nicehash thread since this Optiminer thread not NH.

Opriminer,
 Gaymore sayed "In 1-2 days I will release new version, a bit faster and stable."

It's SAD. I like your miner more.

Just FYI:
I had similar problem, couldn't get reply to emails thru suprnova....  emailed OCminer here on bitcointalk, he replied immediately, fixed my problem immediately.  It seems he had an issue with not getting email via the contact link in suprnova.   I would suggest sending him a message here on bitcointalk...I think you'll be glad you did.  Suprnova is rock solid pool, been around long time, hang on to it!  Hope he finds the problem with his emails!
