How many sol will give me 1080ti?

About 15 H/s
1070's give about 11 H/s
480's (modded bios) about 11 H/s
580's about 11 H/s

Oh man I hadn't seen this yet....the port of 1.0.12 I dropped today is native win32 exe's cross compiled from Debian 8, rather than WSL (cross compiling on Ubuntu is busted...I mean, it BUILDS, but it has a flaky win32 pthreads and pegs a cpu at 100% ALL THE TIME).
You actually don't want WSL binaries, as they 1) are slower than cross compiled native ones and 2) current zcash doesn't build on it out of the box either (open issue for it!) and 3) it takes a lot of funky conf file games because 4) ipv6 doesn't work on it.
So, I can give you a nice, simple procedure to follow to cross compile if that is ok for the bounty!

David, thanks for sticking with it.
If using Debian is what it takes, I'll setup a box tomorrow AM and replicate the build.

For the zero.conf file, I'd include something like:

addnode=zeropool.cloud
addnode=54.144.219.55
gen=1
genproclimit=1
equihashsolver=tromp

Separately, when sending David various transactions during testing, I became suspicious whether the transactions to Z addresses are performed or displayed correctly in the Java GUI wallet, even on Linux.
Would much appreciate some help from the community in testing this aspect.
Anyone interested can use some really tiny amounts, but do try all the combinations between T and Z addresses, and compare what the Wallet shows in Overview for the amounts and addresses, with what you've selected in Send and with what the block explorer shows on the blockchain. Maybe restart the GUI program and reload and review again, as I thought I saw errors, but got confused trying various combinations.

Hi Tearo,

Did all possible combinations many times. This is what we have:

Let's name them to make this more easy
Z-Address 1 = Z1
Z-Address 2 = Z2

T-Address 1 = T1
T-Address 2 = T2


Sending from T1 to T2 or vice versa = No problem in wallet OR Zero explorer
Sending from Z1 to Z2 or vice versa = No problem in wallet OR Zero explorer (They don't appear in zero explorer as per normal since they are Z- addresses)

Sending from T1 to Z1 OR Z2 = minor problem = Wallet shows correct overall balance BUT for some reason a random amount of zero gets transfered to T2(Both wallet addresses are mine). The amount chosen to go to Z1 OR Z2 transfers correctly. The zero explorer shows correct data (shows both tx's)
Example: T1 balance = 2 zero
T1 sends 1 zero to Z1 OR Z2 and although 1 zero gets to Z1 OR Z2 correctly AT THE SAME TIME a random amount (let's say 0.40) goes to T2 automatically.
So now we have
T1 balance = 0.60 zero
Z1 OR Z2 balance = 1 zero
T2 balance = 0.40 zero

Sending from T2 to Z1 OR Z2 = No problem. This is weird though because you would think that the above example would happen here also.

Hope this helps...

Great detail on the tests and description, thanks!
Let me confirm that you are using the Java Swing GUI wallet on Linux.
What's your intuition here, is the wallet generating the wrong transactions, or the node processes them like that?

Thanks for adding Zero to your app.
Will install and check it out!

Thanks Tearo
I am using Java Swing GUI wallet 0.68 (beta) version
I think its the wallet. But it is very weird that it does not do it with all the t-addresses

Thank you

Hi for this GPU you need to use this miner:

How many sol will give me 1080ti?

About 15 H/s
1070's give about 11 H/s
480's (modded bios) about 11 H/s
580's about 11 H/s

are you sure about those figures?
cause mine 1070 working on full speed @ 2024Mhz showing only 5.4 sols
I downloaded miner for 8GB version
what should I do to fix low hashrate?

That 5.4 sol is correct, those 11H/s is different value

[notsure85]

only 5.4 S/s on 1070 ?

From my own cards I can confirm 15 S/s on 1080ti and ~ 6 S/s on 290x

[ivakar]

only 5.4 S/s on 1070 ?

From my own cards I can confirm 15 S/s on 1080ti and ~ 6 S/s on 290x

seems something wrong with one card!
one 1070 push to 11.3 sol/s while another 4.6 -5.7 sol/s
I guess I have to restart the rig and see will that fix the problem or not

Let me try to ping the Wallet dev.
This "wallet" is really just a UI for a subset of the RPC interface related to addresses and transactions. It holds no keys, knows not whether it's Zero or Zclassic or whatever. Only the port it connects to and the labels it prints next to the amounts change.
So, if there is an issue with Z addresses, it should be showing up in other coins as well.

1070's give above 11 H/s, OR if you prefer 11 Sols
I am mining for about a month now using ethOS

So i am positive about the readings

Yep
Don't settle for anything less than 11 Sols for a 1070
I can send you core clock and mem settings if you wish

I'm mining this on suprnova with 6 480s and I'm only getting 55 Zer / day. Anyone got similar results? These seem very bad.

That is not bad at all, what did you expect? to mine 55 Zero with 1 gpu?
