So is it safe to say the Silent Army miner is better than the last Linux build of Claymore Miner?

I SAVED A COPY OF CLAYMORE'S LINUX MINER (EDIT)--

But, to download it, WGET is not enough. His binaries are posted on Google and Mega. I would have to setup an FTP server on my LAN to distribute Claymore to my Linux boxes.

Not having actual data to compare, I think your conclusion is good. The mrb builds are facing stiff competition. As of the last linux Claymore binary, mrb builds were about as good, but Claymore has improved. --scryptr

Forgot to say - try running with --instances=1
sometimes it faster

Hey guys, no one has been able to help me so far...Looking for Bios Mod to improve speed and lower Watts on Sapphire RX470 8GB card please.

Can anyone help?

I have tried 2 from the ETH forum and they freeze or blue screen.

MY VIRGIN RX 470 8GB CARDS ARE UNMODDED--

I just got them mining today. The blogsters chat about using lower frequency "memory straps" at higher frequencies, and they say that this is done with Polaris BIOS Editor (PBE). It seems simple enough.

The Sapphire 8GB RX 470 is like a gold standard, everyone loves it. Still, I would not copy another miners BIOS mod. It would be better to edit your own BIOS in steps.

My RX 470 cards have not mined for 24 hours yet. When the stock clocks show their ability, I might edit the BIOS, or something. I can set the clocks with software as-is. We'll see... --scryptr

EDIT: My Sapphire RX 470 cards make about 41+ Sols/s with the latest GIT checkout from mrb. My nVidia GTX 960 cards do about 20 Sols/s with krnlx's binary and code. The wattage is really low, 520W for 4x RX 470. Much tuning to be done... --scryptr

OK, and thanks again. KenshiroTheFist has implemented extranonce suscribe for mrb's silentarmy, and posted the code. The miner is working just fine except for the "#xnsub". If you are contributing to the code, or know who is, please encourage them to merge the available "#xnsub" code.

I am aware of the extranonce patch and the only reason I have not merged it already is because it is not high-priority. Silentarmy works just fine as it is on nicehash.

What is the #xnsub patch?

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

I tried this on my GTX 960 rig, and get about 20Sols/s per card. The cards are at stock clocks. Furthermore, it works at NiceHash! It does not have extranonce subscribe, however.

The work for extranonce subscribe has already been done by KenshiroTheFist. If you pull on the right repository, you could merge it.

By the way, is this your code? Is there any dev fee? And, thanks! NiceHash pays in BitCoin, no wallet problems. --scryptr

There is no dev fee, it is opensource. It's a mrb's version with nvidia tweaks.

Maybe anyone who can help me?

DEFINITELY YES! --

If you use the instructions at PenDriveLinux.com, you can do a full install of linux on an 8gb or larger stick. However, there is a "rig-on-a-stick" already availble called Kopiemtu 3.0, compiled by jk_14. Just boot to the USB stick, and mine with nVidia.

If you do a search for Kopiemtu, it should pop right up. Here is the link to the BitCoinTalk thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5764866 .

new vesrion with 45 sols per gtx 1070 can be runned on windows(10 x64) ?

+1

Is it so hard to add windows support ? Cry

Sorry I am still not, at the moment, working on Windows. But optimizations and various improvements.

Yea, not exactly sure why windows users are coming on here and demanding a windows version. Linux users got screwed over by this whole shit, and I have rigs that can't be booted under windows and require linux. Be happy with your claymour 100h/s miner.

@mbr id rather you get close to clamour performance, charge a devfee to get that done, and then worry about windows.

jat you seems to forget one thing or maybe you don't care, don't take offense but if AMD gaves support for the cards windows supports there will be a claymore Linux version i asked on the AMD forums when AMDGPUPRO get it's next update will it get more cards i was told yes . I know you don't like me i have no idea what i did to you after i asked for BFG support for my Alchemist miner to use on any PI , i sent any donation other sent me to you for doing it and you pretty much ignored me i was fine with that but i have to say this and maybe others want windows and will donate and don't like using claymore. i have yet to demand it or ask when, i won't .I don't want them to rush it i do hope we get one if we don't we don't I will live with it and not complain .

I do not think 25% is right value.
At least for r9 390 on ubuntu 15.04 with fglrx I get:
1) 40-42H/s for silentarmy current git;
2) 52-55H/s for claymore 1.1;

Claymore 4 is stated to be even faster.

Here's v4 on 390X:

About 25% behind Claymore's V4 miner right now. There's at least 3 other people (including myself) besides Marc working on improving the SA kernel. There are a number of optimization ideas being discussed that I expect should get performance up to 100sol/s on a Rx 480. Longer term I'm now convinced that 150sol/s is possible.

I do not think 25% is right value.
At least for r9 390 on ubuntu 15.04 with fglrx I get:
1) 40-42H/s for silentarmy current git;
2) 52-55H/s for claymore 1.1;
