EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[wstealth]

I have a little problem with Version 0.3.4b. and gtx 1070 , sometimes ccminer crashed , no use overclock or somethings , any idea ? use win 10 last driver .

You can try MinerKeeper. It will not tell you what happened, but it will restart miner automatically and send you a notification about it.

Went to download and it's been flagged as having a virus.

It is not a virus.
The archive contains 4 files: one .exe file, one .dll file and two text config files.

I think that your antivirus just does not believe to any programs that you download from Internet.
If so, you can add the MinerKeeper as to ignore-list of your antivirus.

Update windows to the latest. Install decent lan card drivers. Try to benchmark the videocard in 3Dmark or something similar. To see if the card is otherwise stable. Good Luck

Try this tool: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2071108.0

There is no exe files and no viruses. It is one bat file. I'm using it and it is very stable. You can contact developer for more info.

ZERO is fork of Zcash (Zcash is fork of Bitcoin). It has security of Bitcoin, privacy of Zcash and few other improvements. ZERO includes the best privacy and anonymity technology available today.

Goal of this fork is:
test completely different set of equihash parameters in the wild, chosen parameters: N=192, K=7
these parameters should target generally available hardware for mining
learn from it

All these parameters are improved by this change:
higher time complexity
about 16 times*
higher memory requirements
about 16 times*
faster block verifications
4x
smaller solutions
400 bytes instead of 1344 bytes are inserted in every block

How were these parameters chosen:
abandoning idea of mining on mobile devices
making it hard enought to postpone the risk of ASICs
memory requirements target regular desktop PCs and graphic cards with at least 8GB of RAM

Coin distribution changes:
no founders reward
no premine
no slow start
no halvening
stable supply of coins
minimizing violent mining strategies
removes stressful event that heavily impacts miners and market price
no coin cap
small inflation (smaller and smaller over time)
lowers the early adopter advantage
steady reward for miners can result in lower fees in future
at least some compensation for forever lost coins
1 block per 2 minutes on average
10 coins per block

Distribution:
7200 coins/day (the same rate as BTC and Zcash before the first halvening)
after 1 year:     2 631 600
after 10 years: 26 316 000
after 20 years: 52 632 000
after 30 years: 78 948 000

 

Thanks for the review , i have nvidia 1070, buy more 1,5 years , and i have roi in 1 months .

no only with zero-optiminer
but there is just one more mining software written for zero

Have you tried to limit the power ? More power = more temperature = more trouble.

[QuintLeo]

Power 139 W

 You've got 1070 model(s) that have a design TDP of 180 watts than not the NVidia default of 151.
 
 That's WHY I keep harping on the "TDP % setting is USELESS unless you specify the CARD as well" statement.

 YOUR 80% is more like 92% for something like the EVGA SC "Black" or Zotac "Mini" or MSI "Aero ITX" or Gigabyte "ITX" 1070 models (among many others).

Is there any info for further optimizations on the miner ?

Look for dstm's miner for active development and optimizations on zcash mining. EWBF is done.

Why do you think rent is done? Does dstm result to significantly higher sol/s?

Can you post you AB settings?

[Akaash]

Can you post your AB settings?

I am sorry but I don't understand by what you mean by AB settings. Can you explain please?
If you mean the settings for the miner it is as follows

miner.exe --server zec.suprnova.cc --user alphamike_1612.1 --pass x --port 2142  --intensity 32
At this setting the rig doesn't freeze but 0 sol hashrate
At intensity 64 rig freezes...
Tried setting different solve modes but same result...

dstm's miner handles GPU jobs individually and that opens room for more stability and optimization. Not to mention many things he's implementing that EWBF doesn't have.

Sorry, but I think you have replied to the wrong person.  I have no idea what TDP is yet.  And can anyone post a link how to send money out of the zcash4Win? address?? 
Thanks!!

AB stands for MSI AfterBurner -- used to set power/temp limits, core/memory clocks , and a custom fan profile for your cards. At any rate, try removing the intensity setting so the miner uses default values. I'm mining ZEC using P106's (similar to 1060's) and have no problem with them.
