I compiled the version with the external input.cl but i get the python version error.

i installed python 3.4.5 and create symlink, now when i call python i get the 3.4.5 prompt, but the miner still complain about the python version.

what can I do?

do i need python 4 to use it?

i am in ubuntu 14.04
thanks

you must set python 3.4.5 as default see --alternatives

[EDIT] SOLVED, do this:
https://gist.github.com/n1koo/7c0455b674d3c3a9d4cccf53837b270e

and I created a symlink /usr/bin/python3.5 python
and python to pyton3.5.5 (for some reason, somewhere is specified to look for python3.5.5  Roll Eyes )


30 Sol/s on 1 GTX 1070 , stock clock, 90W TPL.

pretty much it was another NV player that doesn't like AMD for whatever reason  there both very good card but AMD offer more and better support and cards, no mater how bad there dogged, they do . I like AMD more and NV is cool to but i don''t put down NV either they both have there places .
just ONE simple reason, POWER efficiency.
show me 12 top of the line GPUs only using 1100W of power (at the wall) in AMD and I will switch to AMD in an instant!.

power is expensive, and it is something you must pay every month, that's why nvidia wins (at the moment, maybe amd will come up with some more efficient card, but so far, GTX 1070 is the real deal in power efficiency).

I went back and tried to install the official AMD drivers thinking that was the problem.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 unity-control-center : Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not going to be installed
                        Depends: libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
mine@mine:~/silentarmy$  

I am on 14.04 using 5x 280x.  I was on 16.04 until I realized that they don't make drivers for the 280x for that version of Ubuntu so I downgraded.  Doesn't matter to me which version I am on.  This is strictly a mining machine.  Thanks for your time.

If you are on 14.04 there is no need to install the official AMD drivers. Just "sudo apt-get install fglrx" as documented in silentarmy's README.md
The fglrx package is the drivers nicely repackaged/redistributed by Ubuntu.

It is wrong way from the start. You'll never achieve CUDA speeds with OpenCL on nVidia.

Not true. According to solardiz on zcash-miner-dev: "JtR -jumbo and Hashcat both went OpenCL for NVIDIA, obsoleting/dropping CUDA support" and performance was acceptable.

The reality is that most CUDA developers don't write good OpenCL code so they blame the platform, but it's their code that is the problem.

will there be any windows update in the near future ?


once NV support is done it's next V 5 is windows support.

    v2: support GCN 1 → DONE
    v3: make a full miner supporting multi-GPU and stratum → DONE
    v4: Nvidia support
    v5: Windows support

not done. 30 h/s with eXtremal's input.cl

I expected a bit more. I'm on PCI-e x1, maybe that's the reason...


the reason is my Celeron, i.e. very high CPU load


I added it to KopiemTu, as quick patch:

do not worry windows version will come soon, just nheqminer team will need change their modified silentarmy kernel for new changes...

Really good work @mrb !!! Smiley

Tested in a headless ubuntu 16.04 using amd-pro drivers 16.40 with RX480 GPUS.. sometimes I get up to 48 Sol/s! Smiley

any chance on a windows version?
make it 1% fee and everthing will be fine  Grin

why even charge but its coming hopeing no fee and it's not to late and if there is a fee also give us a one time charge to unlock it , either way i plan to donation mine for two weeks 20 to 30 mins a day. I did the same thing for Genoil Miner for a few days til the updates stopped , and will again if there is another update and it's use able .

Can someone try this kernel with NVidia GPUs? Replace input cl file with this http://coinsforall.io/distr/input.cl

libOpenCL.so.1: no version information available (required by /home/sindren/zcashminners/silentarmy/sa-solver)"

with cuda 8 installed, ubuntu 14.04, n1070

now works for me Cheesy  .. but slowly 43s/s on 1070
