I'm about to flip my rig for Zcash, especially with Claymore miner comming out in 1 or 2 days.

Might try Genoil tonight ... if I can cash out a card with Zcash I will be happy.

EDIT: BTW I know use the flag -gser 2 for my cards with Claymore, looks like to help with the initialization. I tried -gser 1 but I still had GPU4 not starting (0 mh/s).

I have a new monitoring script if y'all would like it.
It looks for things in the command line like job failed and if a gpu crashes and resets the miner
It not longer resets after so many seconds it only resets if a problem happens like watchdog on claymore

Might be nice to have.


The script I used did not work well.

Right now I run genoil with -g 0. Which gives me 1 gpu per pc and it shares with claymore.

I run Eth claymore with does the rest of the gpus


Result is say 3.5 of 4 gpus doing Eth.

And .5 of 1 gpu doing zec.

It is stable so far.

ill share my whole file so everyone can see what i work with.

the newest genoil miner it has a watchdog built in but i have not tried it

with all my miners now on zcash im making 80$ after power at the current price.
monday tho i made 140$
also a sidenote to know if you have a dual core process that doesnt have hyper threading it will stay under load and the gpus wont be at max mining ability. zcash miners  need more than 2 cores to start and run smoothy it seems

Thanks you so much for the information.
I shut down all cpu mining and gpu hashrate increased way more ...
I lost lot of time and money because of it but now I can try to recover a little ...

Genoil 6 seems to stay stable with nanopool by the way.

you can thank phil
he helped me a lot over a year ago to get started into mining
im just doing what he did for me for everyone else thats needs it

Thank you both for the answer.

I was stupid about the -p , too much headache with the others problems... lol

But still not sur about the zec zec feature, should we try zec zec zec for better results and decrease if it's not stable ?

I'm trying now with genoil6 + nanopool because it's not stable with flypool . (genoil 5 was not stable with fly but ok with nano)

I don't understand the -k zec feature. Can someone explain ?

and I what is the z without the - ?
in the nanopool help , they put x (-p x) instead of z (-p z)


-k zec is how many instances of the silent army kernel to run, by default is 2 so zec zec I think you make it 1 zec for cards that can handle it or 3 for better cards
-p (lower case) is password so you can put whatever after the space as value, z or x or abc or whatever.

-k zec means it opens only one instance on the gpu
-k zec zec means it opens only two instances on the gpu
the more zec zec you have the more hashs you get
but the load gets heavier on the gpus with more than two zecs
-p means password it can be anything

Claymore says he will be ready with his ZEC miner ins a few days (that was few days ago).

I stopped meddling with ZEC pools and genoil.... I just left it at nanopool and flypool with half baked genoil v0.5 resetting every 3-5 hours - it ain't elegant but i prefer to save my energy and wait for Claymore's ZEC miner.

Phil,

So you think quad core can do 40Sol/s? In this case 8 cores will do just 80 - so no need to buy such expensive CPU

Thank you for links! I'm waiting your updates on 4th Smiley



I don't know  my 6500t  does 22h

I think the 6700t will do 45h but I need do power checking.

 i also am going to sell all my mac minis

 the lenovo m700 tiny will replace them.

The mac minis will help pay for the m700's

Interesting how this top CPU will mine?

Intel Boxed Core i7-6900K Processor (20M Cache, up to 3.70 GHz)

I need a home desktop and have everything except MB, CPU and RAM - so looking on this one Smiley



 I have a better item from amazon

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F5LWOA2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?

has the i7  6700t  and should fit 1 of these


https://www.amazon.com/XFX-backplate-Displayport-Graphics-RX-470P4SFD5/dp/B01JM2DF2G/ref=sr_1_3?


cost = 579 + 199 = 778

it also has holiday return policy  Jan 31st 2017 .

So if it dies in 80 days or so just return it.

mine comes on the 4th.  I plan to run it with the cpu on zec and the gpu on eth

I hope it does 40h  for the cpu

other  good choices  could be the lenovo  m700 tiny http://outlet.lenovo.com/outlet_us/itemdetails/10HYX048US/445

once again  I have this on order  it comes this week.


the lenovo does not have the 90 day return policy if you get a refurbished, but on amazon it is out of stock.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AS8SH12/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_3?  it would be nice to know how much power it uses  I believe you may find this to be very efficient.

I ordered it but have to wait for it.  I may cancel it.

Do you guys change some settings inside genoil to improve hashrate or stability ?

According to special subforum on this topic - nothing helps
