what about the power consumption? Has anyone checked it ?

Its less then ETH mining.

@claymore

i try your miner with 2 instances, it work fine, same hashrate.
but this give me a idea :
can you make a flag start for choose a config file pls ?
by default config.txt and if i put "-conf config-coinmine.txt" or "-conf config-nicehash.txt" zecminer use my config file.

Read "CONFIGURATION FILE" section of readme or OP to see how it works.

That section say's
"If there is only one option in the command line, it must be configuration file name." suggesting you can rename the config.txt file but it does not say how to define the new name in the start.bat file,,,

Ubuntu 15.10
Catalyst 15.2
GPU0/1/2/3/4/5: 380/290x/290/290/290
Command: ./zecminer64 -zpool eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -zwal xx.xx -zpsw x -tt 60,90,90,90,90,90 -tstop 96,96,96,96,96,96 -powlim 0,-10,-10,-10,-10,0 -r -1

I'm running the miner (v.1.1) since today and noticed the following. At the start it runs fine, but after an half hour or so the zecminer64 process is taking 99% cpu load.

Also, bind errors (notice GPU0 jumping to 0 sometimes btw):

what about the power consumption? Has anyone checked it ?
106 w for rx 480 8gb 1350/2250 core with modded timings. Voltage is not modded. 52-55 sols
I have moded rom which was for eth to run my rx480s on 29mhs, but no difference with zcash on custom and factory bios.
rx480 44-49h/s

My rx390 8gb is recognized as 290 with 3072 MB. Is that any problem? Hash rate is ~45.

You need 3GB RAM or more.

I'll switch the card which does not want to mine now, and will see what happens. Smiley

Just switched to another GPU, but same problem.
-di 1 will just stop at Total cards: 1

Good job for v1.1.  The Linux version is a bit faster than my optimized silentarmy kernel... for now.  :-)
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/fastest-linux-open-source-zcash-miner-36-solss-on-r9-380-1671021


Nay, your version is actually faster than Claymore's on my RX480's

Claymore's faster for me on my 470's, and it's also considerably faster when the pc's cpu is a low end, i. e. an old sempron socket 939. Silentarmy's miner gave me around 10-14 h/s on each r9 390 and claymore's 49.
On high end cpu's it seems to be rather similar at least on my 470's

Hei, I cant get the miner to use all my GPUs.

Code:
E:\Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v1.1 Beta>ZecMiner64.exe -zpool zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -zwal AnorakSupra.Rig1 -zpsw x -tt 65 -tstop 81 -fanmin 20

╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║            Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v1.1 Beta            ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

ZEC: 1 pool is specified
Main ZCash pool is zec.suprnova.cc:2142

blah blah here

AMD Cards available: 2
GPU #0: Ellesmere, 4096 MB available, 32 compute units
GPU #1: Ellesmere, 4096 MB available, 32 compute units
POOL version
Total cards: 2

And there it just stops and nothing happens.

My setup is as follows:
2x Sapphire RX470 Nitro+ OC 4GB with 1500 strap mod
ASRock H81 Pro BTC
4GB Corsaur memory 1333
CoolerMaster G750M PSU
Using molex powered 1x risers (USB3)

Windows 10 Pro 64bit pre anniversary
Crimson 16.9.2 driver (same problem with 16.11.2 HOTFIX)

Ctrl+C on the terminal crashes the driver. But it recovers.


With the -di 0 flag the miner does its job, with about 37 - 40 Sol/s
And with -di 1 the miner just stops at Total cards: 1 again.

I want to rig up my 12 GPUs, but I am struggeling with more than 2 cards per system. Windows starts to get crashy.  Huh

I'll switch the card which does not want to mine now, and will see what happens. Smiley

many hours i use your miner with nicehash.
i don't pay any fee ... sorry for you !

without -allpools 1 it can't connect to nicehash.
with -allpools 1 it try to connect to many pool but nothing, no problem for connection just i see :
DevFee: ZEC: Job timeout, disconnect, retry in 20 sec...

edit : it's ok it work for you now but very long time i'm waiting Smiley

Is there a version of your miner that will work with my HD 6990 cards (essentially 2 6950 or 6970 GPUs on one card)? And if so, what must I do to obtain it, and set it up for my cards?

The AMD driver site said the newest Catalyst my cards could run is 15.9 (not 15.12). When I ran them a couple years ago, they were mining with Catalyst 14.6 (on a mining OS called PIMP-1.5.4-amd-14.6-r2). I am disabled, and have a limited income, and therefore must run what I have. Thank you.

I have a 6990. Use drivers 15.7

And mine ETH with it with his miner software not ZEC. ZEC will run at 2Sol/s per core so 4Sol/s.

With ETH you will get 13MH/s each so 26MH/s total. Almost the speed of RX480 & 390 just uses alot of power.

You can also undervolt them to like 1.0V to save on heat and power.

Thanks man. Is that with Claymores? Which version? Dual miner (ETH & Zcash)? And, where can I get it? Where to mine?

Appreciate your input...James

Part of DevFee problem solved - added -allpools 1 - miner changed DevFee and problem removed,
Claymore - i think what error in your wallet on nicehash, miner gives error because not working on nicehash without workername after the wallet, maybe you forgot to write your workername in the source Wink

Everything is ok with the miner, I have checked equihash.usa.nicehash.com:3357 many times, it works for me and for most of people. But nicehash has paranoid ddos protection, I think it's the reason. I see same thing for my XMR miner when they block devfee connections sometimes. I asked them if they can help somehow, but they don't want to change anything. So if you have this problem just use "-allpools 1".

why are there binaries only? Could maybe make the zec for cuda work on this with the source

This is a private miner. He does not use public sources.

Big thanks! Already set this option
