100 sol's on a 390 holy b-jesus! Claymore, so glad to see you doing this.  You helped change the game for Ethereum mining now let's see what's capable for Zcash.  You again hopefully can set the bar.  As far as the other mining software and dev's you can't complain.  Most work well enough but this news makes their miners look like a cut/paste-youtube-lesson on c++. This coin isn't all hype it by far has years of research and development and a strong Dev team behind it.  Haven't been excited like this since late 2013.  Best wishes Claymore and thanks for the community support.

Hi xardos any chance you can give us a little more info on how to configure and run this script, I used powershell to run it and changed the Arguments = to my address etc, but when I try running it, all I get is a dos box with some red writing in it flash up, then it quits pretty quickly (couple of seconds) back to the desktop, like nothing happened.

Not very familiar with powershell scripts, so any help is appreciated.

Thank you
First just click on the powershell script(monitor_restart.ps1) and edit in your pool/username info and save it. Then type powershell in your search box in windows, right click powershell and run as admin. As it says in the readme: Start > Search ... type - "PowerShell" and Run as administrator. Copy this: Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned   then control+v to paste it into the powershell window, then select A by hitting a on your keyboard.

This whole thing is set to be run from C:\ZECminer, but you can edit the Start.cmd file to point to wherever you have the files located. Boy that sounds tough. Short version, wherever you have ZECminer folder, go inside and right click the start.cmd file and replace the line cd C:\ZECMiner with where you folder is actually located. Mine for example is cd C:\Users\Me\Downloads\Zcash\ZECMiner

Then to start your miner simply click the start.cmd file.

Firstly I'm going to release fast ZEC miner, not dual.
Please don't spam my PM, I don't send/sell pre-release version. As soon as it is ready, I'll make it public.
It's a lot of work to create a good miner, I think I will release first version in 2-3 days.

Nice too see you around again and thx for the updates looking forward to your zcash miner.  your 100H/s target is insane to work on but no doubt am sure a master like you will get this or exceed or come close to it.

Given how under utilised the GPU and FB/Memory Controller usage is on RX480/290x even when getting 35~45 sol/s I think 100 sol/s per card will definitely be attainable.

You're right, but you can enjoy low consumption at least for a few days Smiley

Not very familiar with powershell scripts, so any help is appreciated, I am running the Genoil miner from a desktop folder, under Windows 7 ultimate 64bit. Below is my config:-

do {
    Write-Host "Setting up process" -ForegroundColor Green
    [int]$global:count = 0
    [int]$global:countstr = 0
    [bool]$global:restart = $false
    $pinfo = New-Object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo
    $pinfo.FileName = "genoil.exe"
    $pinfo.Arguments = "-c zec-eu.suprnova.cc:2142 -u hal1000.hal1 -p 1 -g 0 1 -k zec zec"
    $pinfo.UseShellExecute = $false
    $pinfo.CreateNoWindow = $false
    $pinfo.RedirectStandardOutput = $true
    $pinfo.RedirectStandardError = $false
    $process = New-Object System.Diagnostics.Process
    $process.StartInfo = $pinfo
 
    $OutEvent = Register-ObjectEvent -InputObject $process -EventName OutputDataReceived -Action {
   $global:countstr = 0;
        $stdout = $Event.SourceEventArgs.Data
        Write-Host $stdout
   if ($stdout.Contains(": 0.0S/s"))
        {
            Write-Host "--WARNING. PROCESS WILL BE RESTARTED SOON-- Count error:" $global:count -ForegroundColor Yellow
            $global:count += 1;
        }
        if ($stdout.Contains(": job not found"))
        {
            Write-Host "--WARNING. PROCESS WILL BE RESTARTED SOON-- Count error:" $global:count -ForegroundColor Yellow
            $global:count += 1;
        }
 
        if($global:count -gt 5)
        {
            Write-Host "--KILLING PROCESS AND RESTARTING--" -ForegroundColor Red
            $global:restart = $true
            $global:count = 0
            Stop-Process -processname genoil
        }
    }
    $process.Start()
    $process.BeginOutputReadLine()
    Write-Host "Process started" -ForegroundColor Green
    while (!$process.HasExited)
    {
        
   $global:countstr += 1;
   if ($global:countstr -gt 15)
   {
      $global:restart = $true
           $global:count = 0
                Stop-Process -processname genoil
      break;
   }
   Start-Sleep -Seconds 1
    }
}
while($global:restart)
$OutEvent.Name |
    ForEach-Object {Unregister-Event -SourceIdentifier $_}
Write-Host "Process finished"


Thank you

The genoil.exe is a different size from what Genoil released. I highly suggest you replace the one in the download with the original version straight from Genoil's github: https://github.com/Genoil/ZECMiner/blob/master/releases/genoil-zec-miner-0.5.zip

Today I tried existing miners, I don't like their stability and speed.
Ok, I will release first version of my ZCash miner very soon. AMD only.

Great news!! Equihash + AMD currently equals bug city. And the primary coin is worth more than 1 btc, close to 2.

Agreed, to keep the miners running I had to use a script loop to relaunch them every 10 minutes Cheesy
At least the restart is pretty fast.

care to share your script  please Smiley

All good things to those who wait
Which is the latest stable Radeon driver both for ETH and Zec? I am still using 15.12 but with the genoil Zec miner the sols from R9 390 are around 20 - less than my 280x which are around 30 sols.

Claymore, I love you man! Smiley

It depends on how fast he can deliver the ZCash miner. If it is out in the next 5 days, that is excellent.

Is your ZEC miner will be compatible with RemoteManager?

Damn,
Right about now I wish I had a few 100 GPU's extra to mine with. Jeez!

I believe that you wish to mine the ZCash. It is a good coin to mine and it has good community support.
