Awesome work! Its mining well....yes a bit unstable but best out there IMO.

Quick question. What is the setting to have this miner auto restart every 30 mins. I have a few cards acting up and need a auto restart. :p

Your best bet is to run it in a loop:

:loop
genoil.exe ...
timeout -t 5
goto loop

so it starts over and over again and have another bat running which kills the miner periodically:

:loop
timeout -t 300
taskkill -t -f /im genoil.exe
goto loop

Tried it on nvidia out of curiosity but it didn't work (Mining thread quit zec-sa#2clEnqueueNDRangeKernel(-4)).

Not surprising just thought I'd give it a try. Interestingly it also didn't seem to recognize the intensity argument (error: unrecognised option '-i').

Best advice! Thanks, I've did a loop to all my rigs. For now is a very good solution to keep the gpu's up.

However, the hashrate is not affected (zcash.flypool.org) if is restarting on every 20-30 minutes?

runs apparently stable now after upgrading Crimson 15.12 drivers to 16.10.3.
But at hashrates I can´t notice any difference to CoinsForAll pool miner 0.2.2 which (I guess) using SilentArmy v1 at the moment.
Is Genoil using v2 already?

@sam29 if Genoil can´t do it right for you -> program your own miner instead of call him f......

I cannot recommend this ZEC miner. Absolutely unstable. I tried it on 6 rigs (all were stable with eth mining), but I have only problems, on some it stopped work in very short time, or hashrate dropped to 0, or it crashed.
If is working hashrate is high, but...

same here, i am sick&tired of this fucker.

now it runns but 1 or sometimes 2 cards gives 0s

I would recommend - runned it on 16 ethereum rigs ( 280x, 390, 290, 290x cards ) over night and just 2 rigs dropped one card.

Miner on Flypool didnt working.
Either going from 30 sol to 0 sol mining during an hour or a couple of hours.
Either turning off.

How to set miner to restart himselff if sols dropped?

You can auto restart the miner every 5min uisng this scrip

:restart
start genoil.exe -c eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u t1N32yBJi27zyAgZLvWjsCFVyHLr4s23NHz.RIGGPU -p z -i 20 -w 64 -P 0
TIMEOUT /T 300
taskkill /f /im genoil.exe
TIMEOUT /T 5
goto restart
pause

But the truth is it does not help as the miner sometimes get the error in the first 1min or sometimes longer.

We will just have to wait for genoil to get his miner stable.

Dont restart a working rig.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.16748615
It is better to set it up to restart only when a gpu goes dead.

I switched miner setup at the red line. I still have some other issues with one 150s/s rig, thats why it is still a bit jumpy but you should see the difference in uptime.

Can you copy paste the settings to not downloading any scummy rar friles from google drive?)

You need the powershell stuff, its not only a bat file.
I use that on all my miners, not on any other system in my house.

I had same problem. Platform 1 solved it. Put -P 1 insted -P 0.

yeah worked!!! thanks

comparing with nicehash pool, on nanopool i get much more sols...were they robbing me yesterday?

Deleting the bin file in the cache may solve your problems too.

any idea how to fix
clgetdeviceids Huh

drivers 16.10.3 (just reinstalled today)
win 10
rig 6 gpu (4xRX480, 2xRX470)
worked fine for ETH, and now still there as i dont know how to fix this issue.

works fine on all other rigs with differents gpus, and the same win 10, even on some of them different drivers. what differs this rig is rx480, all other rigs has 470 and 380. but should it be really the problem?

worked fine on nicehash yesterday, but something happened at nignt and all rigs couldnt connect to server anymore. so i need alternative...
in nicehash i added in bat file -op 1, only on this rig, on all other worked without it.

So until the big boys are ready with their 100Sol/s cannons, you can mine some ZEC with this piece of shit.

Genoil, why -oi option is deleted?
I have my integrated graphic device as platform 0, so ?I should set gpu's as 1.. and I don't know that befor I accidentaly open old version with -oi option and find out what I write at begining of my post..

Is it normal that R9 390 is around 20-25 sol and R9 280X card is the same? It seems that all depends from processor..
R9 280X with i5 is 35 sol and R9 390 with Celeron G1840 is 22 sol.

I have ~20sol/s on R-370, the same as R-380 with FX4300 CPU (usage-8%).
In second rig, all R-380`s has also ~20sol/s with Athlon X2-280 (usage-25%).

For me it shows 20-25sols @gigabyte 370 2g
and 28-30 @ saphire rx480 8g
Why RX is so weak?

How do you achieved 25 sol on 370? I have msi 370 4g and i have 16 sol. What settings do you have and miner?

+1, stuck at less than 30 with both 470 and 480

My friend has up to 40sols but it is still relatively small...

What does it stands for:

Code:

--krnl,-k kernelname  	  set kernel(s)            -k zec

and where can I find how to set -w and -i ?
And is there any build-in miner autorestart or so?
