mrb,
may be also better to add "--extranonce-subscribe" description to the help?

EXTRANONCE SUBSCRIBE (#XNSUB) --

The acronym "#XNSUB" is used to tell some mining software to use extanonce subscribe code, as in "algo.usa.nicehash.com:1234/#xnsub". Yes, your miner may have worked on nicehash since verssion four (v4). However, getting it to compile and run on my own Lubuntu 14.04 rig was not so simple. I am grateful that krnlx provided both a binary, and code, that simply went together immediately.

The nasty red "X" that appears in the extranonce subscribe column of the NiceHash stats (statistics) page is bothersome. Your miner does mine on several different pools as-is. I left some dust at about three. NiceHash pays in BitCoin (BTC), and the perservering wallet problems for Zcash (ZEC) are not in play there. All my nVidia cards are currently minning CryptoNight (XMR) or Zcash (ZEC) on NiceHash at the moment, and the BTC payout offsets the recurring ZEC wallet problems encounterred by my Linux AMD ZEC rigs.

Thank you for your coding efforts. Please keep up the good work! --scryptr

SILENTARMY V5 WILL IMPROVE YOUR HASHRATE--

The general results from mining with Version 5 of mrb's SilentArmy are graphed below:

Increased performance in mining EquiHash algorithm with SilentArmy v5 on AMD R7, R9, RX and nVidia GTX 960 rigs.

Thank You! mrb! A donation will make its way to you shortly. --scryptr

I'm preparing a Windows package now. Cygwin is a PITA to deal with, though. We will see...

Anyone know how to go about compiling with bash on Ubuntu on windows? I would think that it would work.

My little setup has just gone past 700 Sol/s

I definately seeing this going to 800 before 24 hours is up!

Just got another 5% speedup. The code is no faster, but it finds more solutions so sols/s increases.

https://github.com/mbevand/silentarmy/issues/66

Can you provide updated binary like earlier?

Ask, and it shall be given to you:
https://github.com/nerdralph/sa-nr/tree/master/releases

Hashrates are more stable with this change as well.

Sweet, thanks! And thanks mrb also! Getting about 10% more on 1070. hitting 85-90 sols. Now what can we do about the 1080? haha

Great this does the trick ..

For me it was enough to correct the api path in the Makefile :

Quote

Original is like this:
OPENCL_HEADERS = "/opt/AMDAPPSDK-3.0/include"
LIBOPENCL = "/opt/amdgpu-pro/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu"

Edit like this depending on CUDA version you have 7.5/8.0:
OPENCL_HEADERS = "/usr/include"
LIBOPENCL = "/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64"

Using the "optimized" Version of the input, main and param does reduce my sol rate to 50%.

Regards

THIS IS GOOD INFORMATION--

With this modification of the "Makefile", I was able to compile and run the git clone from mrb's GitHub on my nVidia GTX 960 rig. There was about a 10% improvement from the build I produced frm krnlx's package of code.

Five GTX 960 cards mining with mrb's SilentArmy v5

Not quite as dramatic as the AMD rigs, but comparing to eXTremal's original minng code for nVidia, it is a 3X or better improvement in Sols/s. I am referring to eXTremal's pool-locked miner; I used it on Day One of Zcash. --scryptr

Still lots of CPU usage - I thought there was a fix for that?

Also, my 1080 getting only about 50-55, whereas the 1070s get 70+. Any tweaks there?

CPU usage was fixed... except for Nvidia. I linked to a workaround in: https://github.com/mbevand/silentarmy/issues/54#issuecomment-259798481

Anyway this can be baked in? I get this:
Solver 0.0: unexpected banner "libsleep: Sleep time: 1500usec"

did this in my bat file:
YIELD_SLEEP_TIME="1500" LD_PRELOAD="./libsleep.so" ./silentarmy

is this something in addition to v5, or I can just make after cloning from the current github?

Just clone and make. I simply uploaded a pre-compiled binary for lazy ones Wink
