Binaries only, sorry.

So until the big boys are ready with their 100Sol/s cannons, you can mine some ZEC with this piece of shit. Highly unstable but pretty fast thanks to @mrb's SilentArmy kernels. yay

I like this piece of shit and the selling speech. Will tip when this rally ends.

why can't I get this to work on an R9 280x?

Ok figured it out.. I had to start it on that card only first.. once the bin file created successfully with hashing I than added all cards.

Im using my 7950 shappire rig of 6 gpus getting a media of 16 hashes per gpu. is this good for this type of gpu??
Is there any ways of use 99% of my gpu usage, im stuck at around 85%?

Thanks for the help if u could. Grin

If the GPU is sat between 80~85% as your graph shows it suggests that they're memory bandwidth/latency limited. Most 7950/7970 will happily do atleast 1500MHz, start there. Failing that you probably want to use a custom BIOS with tighter timings, usually copying a memory strap from 1250/1375 to 1500 does the trick. When I used to have 7950s I was using tighter timings(The Stilt's) and memory clock was around 1700MHz. This provided excellent performance for scrypt and Eth type crypto.

Kind of slow mine does 20-25 sol/s with genoils miner 0.4.2 on stock settings

Now im moving on average 19.5 but reach 25 seems too much. I can only increase the memory clock from 1250 to 1575.

Btw thanks walrus. One more question u guys think genoil is the better miner right now? I have issues with all the miners but i dont know if there's a better option out there. Claymore is going to release his own zcash miner hope it works great.

You may find the best trade off of performance and stability is found with the memory clocked to 1500mhz exactly, not one mhz higher. This is because on stock cards, at 1501mhz+ you trigger a different memory strap and therefore it can be slower. For my modified cards I copied the strap for 1500mhz to all the higher straps, that way I never lost any performance going higher than 1500mhz.

IMO, currently Genoil's miner is hands down the best.

so any tips for work size and intensity ? Are those really doing something ? Grin

no not really but it keeps you guys occupied Grin

well the lower intensity values could be interesting when trying to dual mine with this in coop with another mining program. worksize does next to nothing, but should be in place when more sophisticated kernels become available.

question is can i use a modded bios or is that one of the reasons for errors , mine are at stock everything atm and have yet to crash with 0.4.2 were crashing a lot with a modded bios but i all so lose some H or solutions . just wondering ? . i did read i think he said the next up date uses less memory will that mean we can run cpu cores without blogging down the GPU ? . i don't care either way .

this can drop

zec-sa#0: 26.8S/s zec-sa#1: 26.2S/s zec-sa#2: 29.0S/s total: 81.9S/s

to

60 solutions , i turn off cores it goes back up .

After some 10 minutes the hashrate droped, on some cards to 0 , on some it halfed.. Is that fixed?

little Feedback for 0.4.2

+ first version which starts and runs at my RIG, older versions hangs directly after startup.
+ very good hashrate, similar to CoinsForAll pool Silent Army Windows miner 0.2.2, but definitely lower power consumption

- not useable with CoinsForAll pool
- not later than ~3 minutes, and all of my four cards are crashing/mining tasks are dead/0 sol. Embarrassed

My conclusion: rough diamond at the moment.

Excellent work, Genoil.
My 280X is doing ~ 25 S/s with occasional peak at 30S/s.
Running at 1050/1500. GPU usage 76%, temp 55'c in Sapphire Trixx.

EDIT: It seems solution rate is picking up after a while: consistenly over 27S/s now.

my undervolted r9 270x cards are doing about 22 Sol/s each, so a 280x should see 28-30

@Genoil

Thanks for miner, On 12 rigs it works fine, 1 rig not so..

All rigs windows 8 x64, 280x

This is what happens when I run the .bat

Then when I run it as admin..

It did ask for mscvr120 and mscvp120.dll which I downloaded manually.

Cheers

remove the ".exe" it worked for me for some reason.

bat file

genoil -c zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -u 1234.x -p x

Thanks for the suggestion, It didn't work unfortunately.

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').

Would you be kind enough to give an example of entire .bat file. Thanks.

Try this, I posted it on the zcash forum earlier. It restarts the miner if an error is found.

There are two batch files, you need to run the first one which launches the second

Code:

@echo off
echo starting miner
:loop
if exist output.txt del output.txt
time /t
start /MIN nh.bat
:loop2
timeout /T 5 /NOBREAK >nul
findstr /C:"quit" /C:"null" output.txt && (
taskkill /F /IM genoil.exe
timeout /T 1 /NOBREAK >nul
echo re-starting miner
goto loop
) || (
goto loop2
)

Second batch file named nh.bat

Code:

genoil.exe -c equihash.usa.nicehash.com:3357 -u yourID.yourWORKER -p x > output.txt
echo quit >output.txt
exit
