I am pleased to announce the new version of Optiminer/Zero for the ZERO coin that 8GB AMD+NVIDIA cards.

Support for 4GB cards is limited to AMD for now (it runs quite a bit slower with fewer memory!).

Note there are different binaries for 4GB and 8GB cards! The version for the 8GB cards runs faster but needs more RAM.

Download: https://github.com/Optiminer/OptiminerZero

For more information about ZERO see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1796036.0

Note this coin is different from Zcash/Zclassic/Zcoin!

For a Zcash/Zclassic miner see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1686057.0

Is it possible to use mixed rigs?
I haven't seen an option to select which card to mine with in the miner...

Yes, you can select the cards with '-d N' were N is the number. Use --list-devices to see which device has which number. Then, just run two instances of the miner, one for the 8GB cards and one for the 4GB cards.

Linux version of the 4GB miner will be published soon.

8 mb version works fine for me - r9 390 8gb and rx480 8gb
4 mb version doesn't work - r9 390 8gb and r9 290x 4 gb - it starts and tries to mine but low gpu utilization and low diff shares
windows, 16.9.1 drivers

Fantastic work,

Just wanted to point out using the 4gb miner with an 8gb card, I tried using -i 2 but just cranks out a lot of invalid low diff shares. I can sort of figure out why, my lack of expertise can't explain it.

*edit*
any word on r9 280s?

Yeah, I tried -i 2 as well yesterday on a 8gb card. There must be a bug with handling the parallel instances somewhere. But it's rather pointless anyways as for 8gb using the other version is faster. So, I'll probably just remove the code handling parallel solutions and hardcode it to 1 for Zero.

It should work on any card that has at least 4gb of ram. If it doesn't try to reboot the machine and make sure the miner and nothing else runs.

Yeah.. that's expected. With 4gb the memory access pattern are way worse.

This warning can normally be ignored. It might be a hint that there is a network issue. In this case the miner would disconnect and reestablish the network connection soon after that.

What is the sol rate on a rx470 ? Anyone tested?

I am getting around 6 sol/s and unsure if that is "decent" or something wrong.

Good to know

on a 4GB? that would be more than decent, on an 8GB that's somewhat lower than I would expect, if you do have an 8GB model stick to v1.0
