miningpoolhub works ok ,,

is there any way to change fan speeds and gpu clocks with this miner ?

What about suprnova? It appears to be stable

I changed to www2.coinmine.pl , flypool was giving too much errors, i ill test and report

Yes , when miner works for an hour and restarts it starts to give 0sol/s on some gpus, to restart it properly to work again well i have to delete the bin file in tha cash  of the miner and start it again!
It need tweaking obviosly!

The loop trick doesn't work too well, the thing crashes 2 min after the restart so one hour idle afterwards. A waste of time. 

Well A lot of people are having a problem with genoil, so i will make things clear,
I have 6 rigs running, and dont have problem with any of them

Im using Flypool, Stable,pay right  and have a nice dashboard

Lets start from zero.

*Make a fresh windows 7/10 instalation (genoil works on both)
-If you dont want format your rig i recommend unistalling drivers using DDU and installing latest from amd

*Go in system -> advanced system configuration -> perfomance -> advanced, and change your virtual memory initial 10000 max 32768
- Click set after that, or it will not save.
- Dont forget to change power settings, or your pc will hibernate

*I recommend changing Bios to Stock , and all oc settings to stock, for testing and running (you can try changing them later)
*If you have a weak cpu, dont mine with it, or it will afect your gpu mining speed

*Download genoil 0.42, extract everything to a folder on your desktop
-create a start.bat
-First time is better to create a kernel for every Gpu at time so do the following using -g Command (0 is the first GPU)

Launch the start.bat after it begins to mine, close and start another gpu


Do it just changing the -g value From 0 to 5 ( or the number of gpus you have)

Nice!

Now lets start a test with everything together


If you have a cpu with integrated video, just use this (if you are geting no opencl devices error)


Now , if everything runs fine

change the bat file again, with this script, it ill close miner every hour (cause genoil sometime fails) and open again


So runs the start.bat it ill start genoil minimized,do not close the start.bat windows

DONT FORGET TO CHANGE THE ZCASH ADRESS, OR U ILL MINE TO ME
Nice mining!

Start Bats (If you dont know how to make it) just put inside genoil folder

may need to turn  off the PC to break the network connection and actually clear out the memory  i had to turn off two R7 370 PC  even after a warm boot it wouldn't hash  so i did a cold boot or power off .and that might be why sometimes even a restart scpit won't work because it has to wipe all traces of that session from the web and PC only a cold boot or power off can do or unplug the network cable then reboot it , to me it seems easier to power it off then unplug a nic cable then reboot .

I was following the guide and started the miner.  One single 280X.
It was mining fine for at 28 S/s for about two hours, then it started to submit invalid shares.
I rebooted the rig, and started the miner again and now it doesnt hash - 0 Sol/s.
What gives?

but the miner makes one kernel.

why to run for each card when it justm akes 1 kernel file?
