I'm aware of the nicehash miner since genoil still mention Nvidia on his github i just put a legitimate question.
Thats all and OpenCL is not AMD exclusive..omg
Topic: Genoil's ZEC miner: AMD ZCash miner for Windows - 0.6 - page 21. (Read 56832 times)
So which platform ID to take when I have nvidia cards?
Looking at the topic I would say that does not care at all ;-)
Nicehash-miner is especially for nvidia cards: https://github.com/nicehash/nheqminer/releases
Stability is possible with strap modded RX480s. Got a 6 card rig and a 3 card rig and in nearly 20 hours only one of the cards stopped mining.
Running on a 7x 290x rig also, getting around 210 sol/s, again, in nearly 20 hours only one card stopped mining while I was at work today. It has been 100% stable all through the night, so at least 8 hours, no idea when during the day one card decided it had enough. And they're all overclocked, so it could have been that as opposed to the software.
Awesome work Genoil, this miner is a dream for some of us.

I have a GPU Miner (with 5 modded Sapphire RX480 Nitro+ 4GB) hosted using Windows + Teamviewer to access it.
Unfortunately beside the fact that it does not run stable (GPUs stop hashing after short time, one after another) the whole system gets unaccessable after closing the Genoil-Miner Window.
The only chance I have to access the system again is to power off the whole miner (LAN outlet) and power it on again. Any idea why the systems crashes that bad after closing trying to close the window?
I would like to test around a bit and maybe get it more stable with running on lower intensity...

you planing on releasing linux binaries?
Probably not anytime soon.

Marc is already working on adding stratum support to his equihash solver, so that may happen before JW does a Linux port.
I've been looking at the kernel as well, and may take a shot at implementing stratum support if it looks like Marc gets delayed in his work.
Processor is an AMD Sempron 145. I know it is slow but didn't think anything faster was needed when graphics cards are doing the mining. Was also trying to not use as much electricity with this processor. Anyway, so I need a faster processor?
Unlock the other core if you can. One of my all Tahiti rigs uses the same CPU, and it was a real slowpoke with this miner until I realized it was the CPU holding it back and I hadn't unlocked both cores yet. That machine is now mining much faster.
Not a problem on my Intel rigs, though the 7 card rig isn't mining to its full potential yet. I suspect that one could use more CPU as well - it's a mixed Tahiti/Hawaii/Pitcairn rig. Incidentally, that one is more stable with 0.4.2 than 0.5. 0.5 will mine for a minute or two and then the cards drop out one by one.
I just did a fresh rig, moving all my card from the old E2160 to the "new" 145 cpu rig
and I'm going to OC the cpu to 3.5 and see if there is any improvement
otherwise I am considering grab a 6300 to support those GPUs and I guess itself can hash about 14S/s

Anyone know how to use silentarmy with this? Thanks!
readme in the folder says like this but it is on by default
.--krnl,-k kernelname set kernel(s) -k zec
- --krnl/-k parameter can have multiple parameters. This will launch more CPU threads, each running a miner with the specified kernel. For now, only dual (or more) zec is supported, i.e. '-k zec zec'

genoil.exe -c zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -u Genoil.SilentArmy -p z -i 16 -w 64 -P 1 -g 1
r390 working with that... but at radeon sapphire 8gb 480 i get "clGetDeviceIDs"

r390 working with that... but at radeon sapphire 8gb 480 i get "clGetDeviceIDs"
for open CL set -P 0 instead of -P 1
I'm curious about this. Is there a performance difference between open cl and what is the other option?
are both cards in the same Rig ?
this might be why
Code:
.-P 1 -g 1
if so either leave out that setting and not use it. or use it like this .
Code:
-P 0 -g 0 1
there is a readme in the folder with version 0.5 but i don't mine helping .
.from the readme

--gpus,-g set gpu(s) -g 0 1 2 3 ...
--plat,-P set OpenCL platform id -P 0
forgot this my bad
- --plat--P paramter is useful for systems with iGPU enabled or mixed AMD/Nvidia GPUs.

by default the software miner should auto detect , and all the setting needed are on by default and non of the setting are needed but are there for future use and to play with for fun and to have .
someone with a R9390/x R9290/x RX480 what performance od you get at stock clocks?
The stock R9 390 does about 30H/s. You can reduce the memory frequency to save some electricity.
on v 0.4.2 i got error: clGetDeviceIDs
what I have to do Genoil?

I had the same problem with one of my 6 cards setup on windows 10, (worked fine for ETH mining) tried everything , uninstall amd driver , used DDU , tried 1 card connected to the mobo , installed different drivers (older newer) nothing helped .. Finally after a long hours to try to find out what the hell going on , i decided to reinstall win 10 and the latest amd driver . That is fixed my problem , after that the 6card setup hashing perfect with genoil's miners
someone with a R9390/x R9290/x RX480 what performance od you get at stock clocks?
A stock 390x gives around 30S/s (varies between 28-34 for me). I can't tell you for rx480, but the 470 does about the same.
my 470 with a modded bios do about the same , i can't say for any other cards but can for R7370 2gb it does 20 to 27 both i have 2 and my R9 280 3gb that was the amazing one to me does a whooping 29 or better but ranges from 27 to 36 , at stock setting i may mode that bios to see what that does, i was impressed. the 470 do about what i thought they would once he fixed the miner. the 370 kind of impressed me but that was a bad buy on my part i didn't do enough research on what card to get and trusted some one found out later the price i paid at the time for 2, i could have got 1 really good card or two much better cards if I had shopped around.

Genoil's 0.5 running fine for me rock stable in the past 10+ hours on all of my 6xrx480 rigs with my custom bioses
- pc with nvida gtx 980 / 5960x cpu hashing around 50 sol/s
- 6 gpu's rx480 rigs hashing around 170-190sol/s
im using nheqminer_v0.3a_ paralell with genoil's miner for cpu's on all the rigs
have a problem with one of my 4 rx480 (nitro) rig setup sometimes 1-2 card hashing speed going down to zero , and staying there till i restart the miner

someone with a R9390/x R9290/x RX480 what performance od you get at stock clocks?
A stock 390x gives around 30S/s (varies between 28-34 for me). I can't tell you for rx480, but the 470 does about the same.
Genoil 0.5 is okish, but stability is random.
My ETH rig with 4 RX470s (8Gb) sometimes runs for hours, then genoil crashes and I have to restart it every 10 minutes. Cards are modded, switching them back to stock has no effect. Setting -k zec zec hangs the miner within seconds.
My other rig, with 2 RX470s (4Gb) has -k zec zec and is rock solid stable at 60-70S/s, even if both cards are modded.
On my desktop, I sticked a 390X I had lying around, works fine too.
I guess I'm not the only one who feels like the launch of zcash for us miners has been really crappy
Still, thanks Genoil for making somethin availble that sort of works!

if Genoil keep improving this one even after Claymore comes out i won't use Claymore and right now i mine about 15 to 20 mins a day to one of Genoil zec address after i found out i could and would have with ETH to help out would with Claymore but that's my issue or problem, i have being force to do some thing or don't use it .
I agree, Claymore's ETH miner works great, but the fact hat it isn't opensource and that there's the dev fee is kind of a bugger...but after trying the other miners, I have to say Claymore's just works.
I'd happily mine a bit for Genoil if this gets to something perfectly stable. Right now I just can't afford it, everything's finally stable lol
If the Claymore miner can have more than 100H/s for the AMD R9 390, and other miner cannot, then we will use Claymore.
I didn't say i wouldn't use it, anyone would if it does that for AMD cards i did say i have issue with using it because of the fee and if this miner stands with it once it is released, i won't use it . and keep donation mining so many days a week sense it would be about the same but im not forced to . right now i plan to donation mine every day this week for 15 to 20 mins on one of my fastest single card rigs even made a bat file for it after that one or two days a weeks for a while and wish i knew about when i farmed eth. no offense intended what's 15 or 20 mins a day you won't miss it and it's not that is not affordable, I just do it ,again, no offense intended.
my miner start mining but after a while it shows 0 sol/s.... what is the problem ?? how to solve it. Please help me
