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've put:
amd_opencl32.dll
amd_opencl64.dll
amdocl.dll
amdocl12cl.dll
amdocl12cl64.dll
amdocl64.dll
from 16.10.3 hotfix driver

in a folder with genoil.exe and get ~34 sol with a 7970 card and ~32 sol with a 7950 card

it seems strange, but the same procedure does not affect to R9-390 card:( Only ~33 sol with -k zec zec zec option

What is the core/memory frequency of your 7970 and 7950? I run at at 1000/1250 and only get 26 sol.

7950 = 1100/1350
7970 = 1135/1600
power limit +20

Genoil, are there any plans of adding an API to this miner, to provide mining statistics?
I'm getting many requests about adding support for your miner in the application Awesome Miner.

I'm one

.

This will work with minera and with the stratum-proxy with API Access for sure , i was able to figure out how to mine ETH with minera using sgminer-gm because it gives that kind of access was doing it with minera beta last week but that's about all the DEV wants me to say about the beta till it goes to public beta, any one can join now just ask Mich the DEV of minera, for access .

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 Roll Eyes

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.

It's not working with Cape Verde gpus.

Yes it works. Just as proof of work, not profitable:

When mine crash i turn off the PC rebooting doesn't work after 5 or 6 hours of mining .once the memory is cleared out im good for another 5 to 8 hour then another shut down clears it up maybe it's something in the memory or network a reboot doesn't clean out that a power off does. . over clocking seems to make it worse so i don't over clock or use third party software but a modded bios seems ok . third party software seems to be bad .don't need it any way for fan speed etc this miner runs stuff like were gaming not over clock very cool.

That is right. The Genoil miner is very GPU demanding although it does not use the cores very efficiently.

Sorry i just have issue with that sense no other miner i have used has ever done it and if i use that miner long enough, i do donate .

Hi , will this work with modded rx 470 ?? If someone uses how much sol its giving with mod ? Ty 😊

yes it does really good don't over clock or use third party software and it should work great my three 470 do a total of 94 h or solutions together with modded bios if i try to over clock past what the bios all ready does they crash hours later . you don't need third party software any way with this miner, mine run very cool so no fan control is needed . my cards that crash the most are my r7 370 so i stopped over clocking them they seem to run best at defaults , beside the little bit over clocking gave me wasn't much .

you have to give it a try but don't over clock in any case you don't need to . or use third party software ive had the most problems with third party software, my 470 have been running about 8 hours now with modded bios and no errors yet i turned off everything else .

this all i use in my .bat

genoil.exe -c us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u zec t address -p z

sense all the setting needed are on by default,I leave it that way, i tired some of the other settings it made things worse or reset to defaults .

Try adding:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

to your .bat file and report back

It is the same thing! No inprovement!
I saw that using coinsforall and nicehash pools gets worst, best is with suprnova!

can you share your bat file conf? would really appreciate for noob like me.
