Thanks to all those who explained why they prefer Claymore/Windows over silentarmy/Linux.

To rednoW who said "And Claymore is faster, especially on Tahiti" -> this is not true, silentarmy matches or surpasses Claymore even on Tahiti (especially when taking into account its 2.5% dev fee).

Anyway it is apparent to me that many features (temp/fan monitoring, pool failover, Windows support, etc) are what you guys want in a miner. So I will take this into consideration to prioritize my future developments. But on the other I agree with the 80/20 rule: like Bitcoin in its early GPU mining days, it seems 80% of the hashrate comes from 20% of people who operate large Linux mining farms, while 20% of the hashrate is from 80% of people who operate smaller hobbyist Windows mining farms.


So if i get you right, you'd rather be pragmatic and benevolent to the 80% of miners who run 20% of the hashrate, instead of just feeding the 20% who already own 80% of the hash rate? Smiley

Gtx 1080 not optimized .

slower GDDR5X ram (at least for mining).

For Zcash nheqminer... Has anyone found an intensity control for GPU usage?  I need to actually use some of the computers I run nheqminer on and I can't because it just slams the GPU to max.

+1 for this

But seriously, I'm salivating at the thought of a proper nvidia miner for zcash, I wish you the best of luck! And if you need testers, I'm your man!

Hi .

What is the best Zcash miner for Nivida under Windows ?

Still  nheqminer ?

Because i have a poor 25 sols/s with my GTX 1080 .

Thanks in advance .

i was able to reach 33 sol per 1070, without any oc, i dunno why but when i underclock mem i get higher hash, tdp is at 50% pretty much like when i mine lbry, core is 0%



How many cards and which miner?

6 x 1070 x 33H/s = 198H/s, miner is the one of nicehash 3a, just need some tweak depend on your gpu
My 2x 750ti cards this 4 core computer are doing 40 sols .. so 6 x 750ti x 20sols/s = 120 sols/s.  Smiley


one 750Ti give only 10 sols , and 20 sols give your CPU

Yeah!, I wanna kill myself, I just sell my 30 x 750Ti's  fuck!. (well, last week).

i could have done 10 sol/s per card that would be 300 Sol/s with the 750Ti's alone Sad

SILENTARMY fork with NVIDA support, dirty, need optimalization

https://github.com/Fladirmacht/silentarmy

Sources do not match the provided binary. I would not trust it.

it's dirty for of this..

https://github.com/mbevand/silentarmy

only with diff input.cl and makefile

6 iterations per second CAN lead to 140 sol/s.
Just run multiple nonces per iteration.
It all depends on how you define an "iteration".

Took from zcash forum:

zawy
For whatever technical reason, the benchmark on alpha Zcash was also 1 "iteration" per 2 solves. So there's a reason. Also, the bitcointalk guy who promised 120 So/s for a 1070 and posted images showing 140 Sol/s also showed "6 H/s" (which is what nheqminer called it in v0.1 instead of I/s). That 120 Sol per 6 H indicated he did not know what he was doing and is why he has not released. Then came the scammer to this web site saying 120 sol/s for a 980ti who had I=Sol which also implied something was amiss. And even claymore initially claiming 100 Sol/s might have been caused by a similar confusion, indicating he has not done any deep mining optimization other than copying silent army.

What hashrate on 1070 or 970?

very bad 31-32s/s for 1070

Are you still prioritizing nvidia support over windows support?

Yes, because supporting Nvidia is much less work than Windows. ETA maybe in a few days. Anyway, we are getting off-topic in this CCminer thread. SILENTARMY discussion should be held there.
Looking forward to nvidia miner!!

i don't understand why people hate so much to mine under linux, it is the most stable platform on earth, designed from the go to be remotely operated, and totally standalone.

but what do i know Smiley

i am already mining on a closed source linux miner, getting 45 Sols/s x GTX 1070, hoy much your miner is expected to do?

even if I have to use it in OpenCL there is not much difference with cuda (at least it wasn't in ethereum code, just 5% diff in performance)

... sucking other peoples dick ... right up your alley.
You guys got determination. I'm looking for the real business angle here. I work next to countless engineering geniuses with free reign to solicit grants and hire programmers. That's why I gave DJ props. Presumably he made a decent return on his time invested, which is what interests me. I'm debating using my orgs' business incubator to put together a non-profit (no tax on mining, reinvest while gaining market share then go for profit), hire grad CS programmers to make and sell custom miners to the existing big farms (unless they can't consistently code the best versions), and use our EE's to crack asic's on previously gpu-only algos. Because mining alone with US tax, facilities, energy, maintenance, and other overhead costs looks unprofitable or highly risky as an investment over any appreciable time frame.

You can do that, but I think your odds of success are questionable.  The road is littered with corpses of guys who gave their boss the middle finger, said "I'm smarter than all of you", and left to chase bitcoin.  Every once in a while they come on our radar and soon are gone.  Yes, there are angles for profit but the industry you would be in is extremely irrational and erratic.  Nobody in their right mind would loan you money, and your competition is people with free power / zero opex.

EEs cost money, SW guys cost money, Fabs cost a LOT of money, and each and every one of these things you bring in runs you the risk of IP theft.  It's not going to be very long before your key SW guy or EE guy realizes how underpaid they are, and walks away.  So you either destroy your profit margin or watch your IP and principals walk.

There isn't enough steady margin in this business to find a workable angle.  And even if there is, what you've described is a really hard way to make money.  Better off putting that energy into mowing lawns or building a restaurant or real estate.  Greater returns, simpler, more scalable. 

I do mine, but to me this is beer money.

if you want to work on such projects - then let me know ...

there is progression on things that even sp hasnt taken yet - or is too lazy to fix ( like the spreadminer-spmod9 ) ...

we have been working on a project or three in the background that spmod miner cant touch in hashrate or sourcecode - so there can be no copy and 'pretend' increases in hashrate by upping intensities in the code ... and i will be willing to take on another dev that is worth their weight if there is an agreement for privacy ...

thefarm is a lot bigger in plan than intended and will take a little more time to finalize - so a percentage of a large mining system is more than just being paid btc on any development process ...

i need someone that can help build the tools for this goliath that im constructing ...

let me know if interested ...

if i still dont get the required suitor for this side of the project - ill crowdfund it ... as its never been done before - but the numbers absolutely murder anything thats been before ...

More so then any of this, you realize you're in a Nvidia thread and that almost all the users here are Nvidia users? Currently there is no Nvidia miner besides the Nheqminer.

I disagree entirely that the majority of nethash comes from Nix mining as well. People like to assume nix is this abomitable monster that controls everything... There has to be a reason to use it. Why would you use it when everything is worse about it in this example? Not only are GPU drivers more robust in windows, but tweaking and management is also much more robust. This isn't the way it works for other parts of the IT industry, but it in this case it's definitely true.

A lot of the hash coming from a small amount of miners? Sure. That means they must use nix? No.
