Hy folks , this miner is only for Linux users? or I missing something?
It is mainly for Linux. But there are also Windows build. For the time being, it is not the fastest public miner.

pls stop this AMD nonsanse no one care for some new magic driver for games, if it works for compute which is totaly different thing, there is proper topic, not here!!!!!!
Remeber that is leaked info no one knows for sure yet what it will do mining wise unless your a beta tester then your under NDA
. SO whatever, seeing is believing, sorry you don't like AMD Or wasted to much cash on NV .
i need to let this go no mater what i say the AMD haters will try there best make AMD look bad . this is about using them to mine with the new drivers with this miner, so how is it not related .
i did say use the new driver to mine with and i wanted others to know about the drivers, i have seen drivers in the past do thing you probable wouldn't agree with,
so who cares i do and maybe some others .
It will definitely do nothing for mining, unless you want less hashrate
All it does it reduce clock rates/voltages based on the amount of workload the GPU needs to render a particular scene. Usually GPUs are working at 100% while in games, and you don't really need 200fps in a low detailed scene, so it will just dynamically reduce power/framerates based on how complex the rendering pipeline is. Mining/compute operations by their nature work at 100% GPU load...there is no "magic" like what they are doing for the game scenario to reduce power for mining, unless you either reduce the clock rate or voltage manually by yourself, in which case you will either reduce hashrate or increase instability.

.... This is a new power saving feature that dynamically regulates frame-rate based on in-game movement ...
...I'm sure it will work for mining
. not just games . !!! ...Sorry to disappoint you, it will work only on games (from definition of that power saving feature)

New Nvidia miner has been launched, claims to make: -
1070 @ 250
1080 @ 300
I cant check as only have AMD but thought there may be people in this thread that are interested

Whoops sorry, forgot to include the link https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ewbfs-cuda-zcash-miner-1707546
I see it, thanks

Hello all,
I am finally back online for good after my move. It's good timing that this coincides with learning that I won the $10k Zcash miner challenge prize, as it can justify to the wife that the time I spent working on it so far was worth it
I am now working on optimizations that will bring SA to the performance level of Claymore & Optiminer. In fact I spent a few hours on this already over the past week or so, but more work is needed.
zawawa: good luck with your fork! I hope you too can achieve good performance. We need more open source alternatives. (But please don't call your fork "SILENTARMY v6" as I am going to release that... it would confuse people.)

Kinda redundant to try to get to Claymore's levels on AMD - what is really needed is a NVidia-based ZEC miner that can match or better the performance of NiceHash's "eqm" without being tied to their service/pool.

p.s. When I finish I'll probably go the closed-source route too. While I don't expect to make thousands per day, I think with a 1-2% fee I could make a few hundred dollars per day as long as the ZEC price holds above $25. You can talk "community" and sing kumbaya till you are blue in the face, but I expect closed-source miners will have the best performance for the next few months. Claymore probably spends more than 40 hrs/wk on miner development, but he can be reasonably confident he'll get paid for his efforts. While the $10K prize money may have been some incentive for Marc, now that the contest is over, the people working on open-source miners are primarily doing it out of fun.
yes go closed source if you get it going fast, tap on a 2% fee and give 1% to marc and every moral person with use your miner.
Community involvement/contributions was a factor in the prize.

Congratulations MRB, and sure your wife thanks you;) ...
With regard to optimizations, is it possible to take a look at the part of Xeon Phi? I have one in operation but it is giving around 10 Sols and after 2 minutes it falls
If you need to test I can give you ssh access to the server where I have the Phi card ...

Congrats on the prize, and welcome back! I wish I could say the same thing about my wife as she is so pissed off already... As for my fork, I will probably use a different name, so you have nothing to worry about. I look forward to v6!

Congrats for the prize and for a succesful move. It's very good news that you're back to the scene. I wish I could code as well to contribute to the project but my professional skills are in the keyboard with 88 white and black keys. Have a nice coding!
