What are some good settings for an Rx 480 4gb?

Try these:
Code:
-I 14 -g 2

Will still be just ~220KH/s.

On which port ? 1569 or 1596?

Does anyone no how older r9 cards perform on this I have 290and390 and thinking of switching but I hate losing a day of mining to optimize my cards to a new coin

There is no public miner that makes AMD cards useful. It's all botnets and private miners instamining for now.

 sgminer - AMD
Download :https://github.com/djm34/sgminer-msvc2015/releases (by djm34)

sgminer -a lyra2z -o stratum+tcp://

Useful. A hash rate of 1/5th of nVidia and on par with a CPU isn't useful.

Any update of the Djinn34 CCMiner (nvidia/Ubuntu) in the next days (more than 0.0.1pre) ?

Any updates on the AMD Gpu-Miner?
I compiled sgminer for linux and get only about 40MH/s per RX480.

If you are getting 40 MH/s then you got some nice future tech lol

40KH of cause, corrected it.

Can anyone please walk me through the steps to setup the GPU miner with SuprNova?


Suprnova -> help -> getting started.
Same goes for any pool Wink

DNTM

I keep getting the error when I try to run it.

"The program can't start because VCRUNTIME140.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem"

After reading several posts regarding missing .dll files, I thought to share some information with anyone who is ever missing any .dll files. First, you can always do a Google search with the name of needed .dll file, & then download it after you've ensured it's legit/virus-free. There is also a website that I often use myself called dll-files.com. I have never had a problem with any of the .dll files I've downloaded from that website, but you should still always scan them first! For the record, I do not have any affiliation to this website..

Website: https://www.dll-files.com/

This coin...
None of the reported network hashrates are correct (suprnova, mph, chainz), I can't make heads or tails of the difficulty trying to calculate how long would it take to find a block with my hashrate and at times the wallet syncs slower than the speed of  new blocks being found.

This...

250MHs reported by ccminer, not a single share accepted for hours. What is up with the numbers here, nothing is right Cheesy

I was having this same problem (as other have also mentioned). [Assuming you are mining on suprnova's pool] I tried using the various ports ocminer posted for different rigs (see the XZC suprnova main-page for port numbers), & was getting so many different outcomes with crazy results. In the end, the solution was patience - after about an hour of mining on the proper port, it seems everything has made itself stable, & I'm regularly accepting shares with a steady hashrate.

Well patience did not help here. Left it running over night, not a single share accepted. Just the difficulty jumping up and down all the time.

Maybe there is something wrong with ccminer on linux. Anyone having similar issues on linux?

are we on GPU block yet?
good question. can someone answer? or we still in testnet and people mining there. But at leat, devs are working, it makes me happy. Nice to see the price this days))

We're already fully migrated to the new algorithm.

All the major pools have upgraded as well.

So who is the big pool other than suprnova?

There's zcoin.miningpoolhub.com and there seems to be a Chinese pool as well.

Good to spread out the hash a bit and point some to MPH, Pool.MN and Maxminers.

1080 is about 1700 to 1800. Lots of room left for improvement, running 40% power.

Power is not an indicator of potential optimization. In fact a poorly optimized miner can use
more power than optimized. If it's not using a lot power it means there's a bottleneck causing
the cuda cores to spend  a lot of time waiting.

The only possible optimyzation for zcoin is to improve the scheduling of memory accesses to
get the datas in the cache before it's needed. Data prefetching gave good results in cpuminer.

No rigs, ccminer is reporting 250MHs using just one nvidia 1050ti card lol Cheesy Using linux, compiled from source. Moved the nvidia on another coin now, I wont bother with this weirdness...

A GTX 1070 does 1.3 Mh/s so there's an issue with your miner. Or maybe your card crashed.

Really? That's the first I've heard of decent GPU performance, but it's still less that 2x my 6700K.

750 Ti: ~0.2 Mh/s
970: ~0.8 Mh/s
1070: 1.3 Mh/s

But all of them are at less than 40% power so there's massive improvements to be gained.

I doubt that. The cuda lyra2 is already highly optimized. The cores are probably stalled waiting on memory.
Some optimization of memory  throughput may be possible, I just did some in cpuminer but once the memory
bus is full no amount of compute optimization is going to help.

The problem with these algos is each thread requires its own buffer. On a CPU with 8 threads that's no big deal
but on a GPU with hundreds or thousands of threads, well you get the picture. I don't know if the GPU miners
can share a single buffer among a group of threads. That may allow more threads to run.
