what is the proper syntax for using powertune +20 for 2 cards?

I can't seem to get it to be recognized with:

powertune = ["20", "20"];

Try:
Code:
powertune = ["+20", "+20"];

Nope, no change.  Still reports as -1

Would still like someone to roll a Windows x64 build nice and neat. If you provide a download link for a 'click and install' miner that supports multiple AMD GPU without errors I have a BTC0.05 bounty for you.

Dude, I already told you

He posted the Windows EXE file in the main link. Unzip and Go....

Ah, i made the assumption that .tar.gz was linux only since most people don't zip windows files that way. Thx

W7 x64

Download WinRAR here: https://ninite.com/winrar/


Self installing file, just answer run on download pop up/yes/next etc. Once installed, click on you tar.gz file download - extract to desktop etc... in that directory build you zcash.conf file. Launch miner.


Save as zcash.conf

Hope this helps  Wink

Cool, and Thx. I have no issue with it, just didn't expect win binaries to reside inside a Gz.tar file Smiley

I will make today 2 video tutorials about zcash mining setup on windows/linux too for helping this zcash community

Why, this one works great on Windows wich is much easier for people who never used linux based distro's..

the pool seem to have some connectivity issues

the stats were there before, but disappeared...for a while...



Pool now configured for public ZCash testnet until 28 October when mainnet starts

Also for the testnet phase you could make payout lower than 4... so it all could be tested.

I'm trying to run zcashgpuclient.exe in 64-bit Windows 10 but the command prompt instantly opens and closes. Any ideas on what I should look at? Maybe the drivers?


I have the same issue with Nvidia cards, both with the old and the latest build on the links in the OP

For NVIDIA users, you must change the config.txt where it says,
"Platform:#  "amd": AMD GCN cards #  "nvidia": NVidia Maxwell cardsplatform = "amd";

Change cardsplatform to = "nvidia";

My Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 stock runs this at 15.6 sol and 50 deg F after 5 minutes without modifying the default config.txt other than telling it to run an "nvidia" card.

btw sol on 1070 is very bad around 2-3, with windows 10, drivers, 372.90
Is seems that the current release has some issues with multiple GPUs.
Try testing with only 1 card specified in the config and you should see around 21-22 sols/s.

PS: I haven't tried it yet, but you can also try to run multiple instances and use 1 device per instance (something like below).

Code:
# 1st instance config
devices =        ["1", "0", etc];

# 2nd instance config
devices =        ["0", "1", etc];


280x has the same speed with one card

[GPU 0] T=-1C A=-1% sols=9.288

Toomim are still smashing it compared to ever miner out....

They are getting 40H/s per card....

There is no point if we can only get 8 - 20 per card using this software.

Dont get me wrong, very grateful for the effort but you looking at double the speed on one card.

20 significantly beats 0.

Could someone please help me?

I downloaded the binary and edited the config. I have 4x R9 280x.

I installed the radeon-crimson-15.12-with-dotnet45-win7-64bit driver and i also tested it already with the latest one.

This is my config:

Code:
server = "coinsforall.io";

port = "6668";


# Your ZCASH payout address

address = "zthTb2ToG5kuAc11Ni6NxoYjoxQdEr2XvST7XEdLvmHG9k7kotEcwYCaAn1SH4zRdPoXn9kNeFm8CQok9SNtNgn8d9WcdTK";


# You can give this machine a custom name

# Computer name is used as default

# name = "worker_name";


# Platform:

#  "amd": AMD GCN cards

#  "nvidia": NVidia Maxwell cards

platform = "amd";


# GPU crash handling (properly untested feature):

# 0 - do nothing

# 1 - close miner application

# 2 - reboot system (need superuser rights)

onCrash = "0";


# - The following settings have one entry per GPU

# - If you have more than 4 just add more entries or leave it as is to use defaults

# - All entries must be separated by commas and set between double quotes


# 0 = don't use device

# 1 = use device

devices =        ["1", "1", "1", "1"];


# work sizes

worksizes = ["256", "256", "256", "256"];


# threads

threads = ["8192", "8192", "8192", "8192"];


# -1 means don't change

corefreq =       ["1000", "1000", "1000", "1000"];

memfreq =        ["1500", "1500", "1500", "1500"];

powertune =      ["-1", "-1", "-1", "-1"];

fanspeed =       ["80", "80", "80", "80"];


thanks for the try to help but no success. someone else an idea? :/

After starting the miner the first time it makes this and hang up:



This is what the error tells that could be helpfull to detect the problem :/ ?

  C:\Users\ethereum\AppData\Local\Temp\WER933A.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml
  C:\Users\ethereum\AppData\Local\Temp\WERC439.tmp.appcompat.txt
  C:\Users\ethereum\AppData\Local\Temp\WERC44A.tmp.mdmp

after doing the second start it tells this:



Same happens with standard settings without changing config. I also installe OpenCL 2.0 to get sure all is installed.

The same happens after the try to delete the equiw bin. It generated a new one and crashes on second start the same again like on top.

Does anyone have a solution for me? I am on Windows 7


Try this zcashclient, you have two folders inside.Copy equiw200k9.bin from(kernel_R92xx_linux_14.4 ) folder,and replace the existing and try. Works on 15.12 driver...

Within time and if the coin is a big hit some devs will come up with a miner that's faster than 40H/s. Right now nobody knows how profitable this coin will be and don't want to waste their time when it launches on exchanges and pays 25% of current ETH profitability.
