Any indications on what difference, if any, there are on RX-series cards running ETH optimized BIOS (1500 straps) vs running stock.  Is there a better route to go with BIOS mods for this algo?

See my results above in the thread, I'm running 1375 strap. I think it improves ~10% compared to stock results I saw earlier.

Can you check your miner pls?

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?


You have to rearrange the cofig file to look like thise :

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", "1"];


# work sizes

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


# threads

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


# -1 means don't change

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

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

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

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

Where do these 40Sols per 290x card that Toomim supposedly are getting come from? Seems awfully high.
Secret sauce. We put it on our GPUs prior to cooking.

Btw, just a 290, not 290x.

(We wrote our own miner about a month ago. Our code is faster. No, you can't have it, sorry.)

For testing you can just use the address in the config file (that's what I and it looks like a lot of others are doing) but for mainnet launch you will need your own address. Depends on if an exchange trades on day 1 or not if you can use that for an address, but it is probably worth your while to download and compile your own wallet.

Remember this is launching with a slow-start, so even if you get in a few days later you will not be missing out on a lot of coins as that was pretty much the intention to give everyone time to get kinks worked out etc. before full block mining appears. I am sure within a week or so there will be Windows wallets available and maybe even sooner you will have exchanges with addresses you can mine to.

Sound good - thank you for detailed answer!

RX 470 4g with modified bios at 1275/2010:
[GPU 0] T=-1C A=-1% sols=19.950  with ~100W at the wall

at a more reasonable 1150/2000 I still get 19.2 with 85W

nice! clocking ~18Sols/s on the same R9 390X that does ~22 using my own brew. your miner has one major advantage though...it actually comes up with solutions that are accepted by the pool  Grin

That is one advantage that's hard to beat Smiley

How difficult would it be to make a Cuda version for amd cards?

CUDA is per definition for nVidia cards.

Whoops I meant for nvidia.  As this miner is opencl, right?  But it's based on Cuda code?

I would assume so. But then again, you know what they say about assumptions.

Is any way to get an address without installing Ubuntu, compiling wallet etc?

For testing you can just use the address in the config file (that's what I and it looks like a lot of others are doing) but for mainnet launch you will need your own address. Depends on if an exchange trades on day 1 or not if you can use that for an address, but it is probably worth your while to download and compile your own wallet.
