Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3

[yuslav]

yup exactly!  newmz got quite lucky that his old cards were good for mining ZEC, now he wants those of us with newer cards to effectively be punished by Claymore not updating this miner?  Man, talk about sour grapes lol.  But all is not lost newmz... you can keep on mining ZEC until it falls to $5 if it makes you happy to see those blazing hashrates lol.
Listen your RX 480 won't hash at like 2000 H/s with XMR. Its pretty much very similar in speeds to a 280x - 290. Only difference is that it uses much less power.

If you don't believe me compare gaming benchmarks with a RX 480 and a R9 290 and see what results you get.

Just because your GPU is newer doesn't mean its faster, its the same speed just uses less power. No idea why so many noobs don't understand that. They keep complaining on the ZEC Claymore thread almost everyday.

NEWER DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN FASTER!

I agree. Not the results at 2000 h/s. And 1500 is not. But to optimize for the new driver can be and will be the stability that is lacking now. In Zcah was an increase from 200 to 240.... So that a stable 800. And I agree - RX480 even weaker than many R9. Really the purpose of issuance, a new generation of energy efficient graphics cards!

With a stock XFX 280x I get 471 h/s. With a Sapphire tri-x 280x I get 490 h/s. It corresponds to the calculator, but still... Judging from the lower power consumption compared to other Claymore miners, I feel that there is a room for 10-15% optimisation. I didn't try wolf miner but according to http://monerobechmarks.byethost5.com/ the speeds for both miners are (may be) similar. At least for 390 and 480 series, because for 280's the info is scarce.

i have some rx470 4G with custom bios for ether, memory at 1940
but i notice is run faster with memory set to 1750

XMR doesn't need bandwidth, not a ton... it needs low latency.

 And as someone that's actually worked with the code, would YOU say there is much room for improvement for the RX series over the current code?

[delle54]

@Claymore: XMI-Mining only works with the "-nofee 1" option. I would like to pay the fee and have the benefits of the full miner. THX.

I will update this miner as soon as I can. But firstly I need to update ZEC and dual miners, so it will take several days.

Hi Claymore,

ZEC Dual Miner?

.... ZEC and another coin??

Great. Although DualMiners and ZEC was updated recently... And CriptoNote very long time no updated...

Thanks Claymore! Good to know this is on your radar.

btw, I believe Claymore meant updating ZEC (stand-alone) GPU miner and was probably referring to his ETH + DCR, LBRY, etc dual miner since there is currently no ZEC dual miner.  Looking forward to the update of all 3. 

[newmz]

because so many RX noobs joined

And you were exactly one of them. You used your old cards to mine ZEC, and know you dont want other people enjoy full speed XMR?

I'm sorry that I offended all you "RX noobs" as I so rudely wrote. I wasn't quite myself when I posted that silly tirade. I was drunk - I admit it. It was supposed to be a bit of a joke/troll based on the whole state of affairs in alt-coin mining over the last year: ETH mining was awsome until the RX cards were released and difficulty sky-rocketed. Then very recently ZEC was good but only for a few weeks - I even regretted that I had sold some 280X cards when I saw what they could do in ZEC. I personally looked around for something else to mine because I find it fun. I chose XMR because it seems to deliver what ZEC promised (anonymity) and it's slightly profitable for me and my rigs. I'm definitely not going to "keep on mining ZEC until it falls to $5" because I have to at least cover my electrical bill. I'm not a big farmer obsessed by ROI or whatever, I do this for fun and I have 2 rigs with 10 GPUs total. They happen to be mostly 290s, a couple of 290Xs and a couple of 380s.

I guess what I was really trying to say was - that I hope that if Mr. Claymore does update his CryptoNote miner (and RX cards are made much more XMR "viable") it doesn't cause a massive migration across to XMR just like the migration from ETH to ZEC. Of course I admit I was part of that migration, but I had already been mining ETH for many months. I just got really annoyed when a crap-ton of people appeared on the ethereum mining forum and it basically turned into the "RX470/480 BIOS flashing forum". So I guess I developed an unreasonable prejudice against RX cards. Sorry. Yes it's selfish to hope that RX card owners don't benefit from Claymore's skills, but I can't afford to buy a whole lot of RXs and start again.

For the record, I have been mining for almost a year. So compared to many on this forum I suppose I'm definitely a "noob" myself.

I apologise to whoever I offended.

ZEC definately won't be dual mine, he said it before in his ZEC thread, it uses both memory and GPU.

It would be nice to get some other form of ETH dual miner with a coin thats more profitable than SIA,DCR and LBRY.

Last time I checked, dual mining isn't worth the extra power used. Even if it is, the additional stress that it puts on the hardware certainly doesn't justify the tiny profit margin.

Hi Claymore,

Dual mining with ZEC will not be possible, because ZEC uses too many GPU and memory recources at the same time.

(Sorry, I oversaw the previous post)

Is there a user friendly Monero wallet yet?

Is there a user friendly Monero wallet yet?

mymonero.com

You can mine however also directly to exchange

Client side user friend wallet, no.
