I posted on the zcash forum, but for others here...
Awesome job! I need to eat my shorts now that you actually released a reasonably fast open sourced miner. From the Toonim thread "The GPU miner completes one Equihash run in 45 ms (approx. 41.7 Sol/s) on an R9 290." Though, I'm not convinced price per watt is going to be better than some of the CPU miners out there if they are really claiming 6+ Sol/s per thread! I haven't been able to test or verify those yet.
Getting approximate 37.25 Sols/s on each of my Sapphire r290 cards. Haven't messed with OC yet. Edit: environment, standard fglrx drivers on Ubuntu 64bit 14.04 LTS.
Temps stable around 73C, so they aren't being worked too hard yet. I can't find my Kill-a-watt meter, but this 4x GPU rig was configured to max out at 14.9AMPs while mining Scrypt-N optimized. I'm going to guess it's much less than that.

I planned fix silent army kernel crash on a lot of systems and add NVidia support (I already see near 50sols/s but miner produces wrong results).
Thank you very much.
Still loads cpu on nvidia..

[GPU 0] T=-1C A=-1% sols=24.533
[GPU 1] T=-1C A=-1% sols=25.767

I can recommend to try Catalyst 16.7.2 on Win7 64 and Windows 10 for silent army kernel. Remove all *.bin files before launch a miner.
October 27, 2016, 09:37:28 PM
When I run 2.0 zcashgpuclient the pool recognizes my 3x 7950s @ ~30-35 sol/s. But if I run 2.0 or 2.1 zcashgpuclient_silentarmy or 2.1 zcashgpuclient the pool recognizes 0 sol/s. or my Win 7, 64bit crashes.
Edit: thank you for all your hard work!

Thank you so much for your hardwork. I am thinking of a quick install of ubuntu and running miners for some time. Until your genius finds the solution on the AMD win 10 crash on silentminer.
Once again ; great work and thank you so much for your hard work.

Testing silentarmy with 2 instance getting realy got sols/s
With latest version you not need launch 2 instances, but it doubles number of GPU

18-20 with my 390, tried silent kernel crashed.
tried 2 instances same speed
tried 2 instances same speed
Same. Not sure. I have testes 3 of my rigs all with different cards. 380, 380x, 390. Crashes everytime.
Let me guess you guys are using it on win 10? The problem I think is that the binary was compiled with win 7 or 32 bit system. So this binary is bound to fail on win 10 64 bit system
I'm running Win10 64-bit and I got it working... it could be more a problem with support for the card than the OS.
This is how I have my config.txt set up:
Code:
server = "coinsforall.io";
port = "6668";
address = "zthTb2ToG5kuAc11Ni6NxoYjoxQdEr2XvST7XEdLvmHG9k7kotEcwYCaAn1SH4zRdPoXn9kNeFm8CQok9SNtNgn8d9WcdTK";
platform = "nvidia";
and it seems to work just fine for me. If you have an AMD processor you put "amd" for the platform rather than nvidia.
Now, my big question -- and it's probably been answered before, but will this miner support stratum pools, cause that's what everyone is setting up, and so far none of my tests with them have connected.
Thanx for the suggestion but it does not work. Yes , it mostly is the driver issue which is probably related with win 10. Were you getting crashes before with earlier releases of Silent?

eXtremal we would love you to contact someone with win 10 available and compile from source on that machine and share it with us. I am sure that that should work. Its all with win 8, 10 etc with different placement of drivers and the rights to the system folders may be causing issue. Please

man, please fix this crash zcashgpuclient_silentarmy with Win 10 automatically starts 2 instance of miner, no need 2 terminal window

we (win 10 users) want mine ZEC too

Wow thanks for releasing the miner!
Ive tested
7950 = 7.5 sols
290 = 8.6 sols
470 modded bios elpida mem = 11 sols
Seems a little slow, is there some setting to change?
Also multi-gpu works perfect

Gnoli miner and the Toomin miner do around 17.5 sol on a 480x and 22 sol on a 290x respectivley
yes this does seem a bit slow or the 470 , are you using the tromp solvers ?
ALso can you try the 470 with non modded roms Tmdz ?
Pretty sure Toomin claimed 40 sol/s on a 470?
Toomim said 30 on the youtube video: https://youtu.be/t115LfJtkDE

The miner crashes on win 8.1 as well but there is not much difference between win 8 and 10

I test on 64bit Windows 7, works fine.
exactly. Can you guess any reason why win 10 wont be working? I am running it in on win 7 compatibility (fail). As admin (fail) etc...
I am guessing that something very core to the win 10 is screwing with the program. but I am no genius in this field. so take it with a grain of salt
