Genoil's ZEC Miner

The pool is ok i think but I still have a temperamental miner

Even when using the powershell script - my GPUs show 0S/s and I end up with 2 instances of Genoil running.

i’ll put 1 rig on fly and see if it stays working. i don’t know if nanopool is as profitable as flypool??

I noticed something

If you have IDENTICAL GPUs and you have a GPU inside an actual 16x motherboard slot, it runs about 20% faster then the rest.

Anyone get this result. Basically the GPU is not using a Riser.

Basically its running at either 16x or 8x instead of 1x and communicates faster with the CPU since its PCIe 3.0 instead of 2.0.

When i use the ZECMINER (with the auto reboot script) i get this error:

–WARNING. PROCESS WILL BE RESTARTED SOON-- Count error: 0

And just 1 card starts running, I got 6x 480 nitro’s. Speed is about 30!

I already changed the if ($global:countstr -gt 30).

Help?

well i moved 1 rig from nano to flypool and within 5 minutes it was returning 0 sols. back to nano it is then

Change that to 60 and your problems will go away

yup, one GPU is on the MoBo and gets 30S/s minimum - the others on risers can drop down to 15S/s

You mean the one on the end on the string? i changed it nothing works

if ($global:countstr -gt 60)

That is correct. Easy fix, buy a motherboard with more 16x slots :stuck_out_tongue:

This is what i get:

Increase timer to 60, add the following to your miner options (if you have the 8gig cards) -k zec zec zec

I crash with Genoil
with nheqminer 0.3a … get the max 17Sol / s
someone can give me advice how to set up my rig. :
XFX R9 (8GB) + R7 370 (4GB MSI) + Crimson 15.12 windows 7 64bit Memory 4 gb cpu Sempron 145

-k zec zec zec just freezes and crashes my box

Weak CPU? That could cause the freeze. Open task manager and check.

And with: -k zec zec
What GPUs are you using?

Man this miner is just full of surprises. Never in the past did running a GPU inside an actual motherboard slot make a speed difference.

Different mining algorithm :wink:

running 3 zec’s stable, 4 is a problem for 4gb card

Each time you use an extra thread (-k zec) it uses 1.5 to 2gig of ram… That setting is meant for 8gig cards

Don’t think you can run 3 of them on a 4GB card. You made a mistake somewhere.
