Topic: fastest linux open source zcash miner: 36 sols/s on R9 380 - page 2. (Read 4025 times)

Congrats to the AMD liga..you achieve what Nvidia miner devs can't or being to greedy for..
1:0 AMD ..now plugging out my GTX1070 and 1080 and replace them with RX480 :-D

We'll see.  Based on JW's experience with ethminer, donations were much less than 1% of mining revenue even before Claymore release his miner.  Right now my thought is to have an open-source version that is as fast as Claymore's and one that is at least 10% faster for a private miner.

I do plan to pull down Marc's changes at some point, but right now I'm focused on tweaking the kernel.

Even though Claymore released a linux version, this one is still faster.

Yeah, you have to kind of know what you're doing to use this, although that it's still super easy to run/compile..


Kudo's Nerdralph!



I will throw in some more

I'm python-clueless. Thanks it worked!

41-47H/s on a 290 -- the standard version was only getting 36-42.

do that while keeping it open source and "fee less" and i pledge i will donate .05 ZEC to the address of your choosing.

cheers

just update python to 3.5-3.6.

I got an error with this fork:

Stratum: invalid msg from server: type object 'bytes' has no attibute 'hex': {'result': True, 'id': 2, 'error': None}

The normal v3 works fine. Maybe try to re base your fork off the latest mbevand? He has removed the libsodium dependency too.

Thank you.

Here my rigs results: Ubuntu 14.04 headless with AMD 15.x GPU drivers.
3 280x and one 270 GPUs.

it started slow but steady around 72 sols.

Just tested Claymore's Linux miner, and it is ~5% faster.  Therefore I've changed the title to fastest open source miner.
I think I can get another 15-20% improvement in performance out of the silentarmy kernel, and claim back the title to fastest overall.

YUP - Thanks for sharing!!!
I'd trying it now with my (3) RX480 4GB cards.

most impressive 7950 rates also. mucho thanks

Thanks, seems it's a better hash rate on NANO cards:

bazinga!

You can run a mining pool but you can't extract and run files from a compressed tar archive?

Did someone try this kernel on https://zec.suprnova.cc yet?

Nice I will give it a try and see what numbers I get.

Works great on Hawaii too.  My 290x clocked at 1000/1250 gets 41-43 sols.

So this is just for Tonga and Pitcairn?

Sounds very interesting.

Are the R7 370 cards you tested 2gb or 4gb?


on silentarmy v3 I can only run 1 instance (~1.3gb) per R7 370 2GB model
