I have a batch file that reads this.
Code:
@echo on
taskkill /f /im genoil.exe
timeout /t 2
genoil.exe -c zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -u miner.name -p password -P 0 -g 0 1 2

I than put this in my task scheduler to run this batch file every 10 minutes.  Damn it's doing really good. Not only that if you tell it to run even when not logged in the console window is hidden.  I than setup a trigger for startup and login.  This way if someone does reboot my system than it will start back up.



Do you mind outlining your entire procedure with task scheduler ? I haven't used it in ages and would rather not reinvent the wheel. My genoil craps out every so often - but it's your setup that allows the miner to resume on reboot that I am particularly interested in.

Sure.

General Tab: Run whether user is logged on or not (note console will be hidden with this command)
Triggers: 2 different triggers.   One for System Startup and the other for Log on of any user
action: Start a program (point to batch file. make sure you have the start in point to that directory or batch file will not run)
Conditions: As long as any network connection is available
Settings: allow task to be run on demand; Run task as soon as possible, run a new instance in parallel (last one is important as batch has the kill command)

You do realize that Zcash will bring more or less the exact same profitability as Ethereum does right now.

Only good thing is if the market cap is large enough then ETH difficulty curve might slow down.

Good prediction based on solid facts...  Changing your tune there adaseb?

@Claymore, great to see you getting involved with ZCash!  It's relieving to have a miner on the horizon that doesn't require constant babysitting of rigs and/or bat files that restart the software every 10 minutes.  I've actually just gone back to mining ETH until a better miner comes out, gladly will pay a % to the dev, good news!!!!!!

i bet claymore was paid to not release this

that's a possibility..he was like the chuck norris of miner developers. the others made miners already and he was, like missing the action.

come on Claymore, save me from sleep deprivation with these unstable miners LOL

I know, have to restart every 10 minutes or so....

Put it on a loop using a BAT file.

thanks for the heads up....i'm gonna have a nice loooong sleep later, just waiting for sleepiness to kick in again

zcashclient works for me, pretty stable on my 280x's run for hours and hours (to be safe i loop it at 2hrs), my .bat loops perfectly .. genoil miner for me is too unstable the program error (doesn't run after the loop) and the 0 sols errors kinda fucks up the looping processes.

Ok I did some testing.. Eth is slow but hey it's some extra coins at only a cost of 2-3 Sol/s on my system.

ZCash mining 50 Sol/s
Eth mining 60 MH/s


Code:
nheqminer_suprnova.exe -u <-ewal worker.name> -p  -t 4 -od 0 1 2

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool coinotron.com:3344 <-ewal worker.name> -esm 2 -epsw -allpools 1 -ethi 0,0,0

With Dual mining 47-48 Sol/s  17 MH/s

Small hit with Sol/s but not bad and getting some mining power on Ethereum.  So once Claymore releases his optimized version I think we will definitely get better results as currently I have two applications running to do the same thing which will make some performance hit there.



What cards do you use? What is your system configuration and driver?

Windows 7 64 bit
Latest Crimson Drivers

R9 280x 3GB
RX 480 8GB
R9 380x 4GB

Simplemining.net Admin
Hi,
If you want you can use my simplemining.net OS which doest that resetting for you Smiley

It restarts miner if detects 2 states in mining console window.
- at least 3 lines of "stale shares" or "crashed "
- more than 8 "found shares" but less than 4 "accespted shares"

#!/bin/bash
export DISPLAY=:0
MINER=`cat /tmp/miner | grep "Stale share \| crashed" | wc -l`

    if [ $MINER -ge 3 ]
    then
    echo "Miner error, restarting miner"
    bash /root/start.sh
#    sudo dmesg -c
    fi

shares_found=`cat /tmp/miner | grep "found share" | wc -l`
shares_accepted=`cat /tmp/miner | grep "Share accepted" | wc -l`
echo $shares_found
    if [ $shares_found -gt 8 ] && [ $shares_accepted -lt 4 ]
    then
    echo "Miner error, restarting miner"
    bash /root/start.sh
#    sudo dmesg -c
    fi

so 3 days passed and no miner. maybe claymore will not release but mine himself?

still good - he deserves it.

releasing claymore's zcash miner will tremendously increase his hashrate (coming from the "fee"), it is more beneficial to him if he release the miner rather than use it himself.

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, at least for now.

Awesome!

claymore just joked when he said he is making a miner
