Genoil's ZEC Miner

i’m using amd drivers 15.12 for best eth mining. for this do i need to update the drivers. genoil keeps crashing on me

16.10.3 crimson ETH+ZEC Good…My Win7 ( ultimate )

I can confirm that the latest release is working with HD 7970 and R9 270 on Win 7, latest AMD drivers, however, it took some time for it to compile the kernel, so leave it a minute, and I also started it one by one, made two bat files for each gpu, left them to compile and now I’m getting 30 sols on 7970 and 20-25 or r9 270 :slight_smile: Thank you Genoil! :slight_smile:

i have 2 290x’s in one rig.how do i start each card seperately??

use -g n (n being the GPU ID, e.g. -g 0, -g 1, -g 0 1

So you will need 2 separate lines for Genoil, one for -g 0, one for -g 1

You mine ETC+ZEC? It’s possible?

Hi Genoil,can you make your miner run 2 solvers at the same time? Double the speed?

Thanks for coming back.

In one rig it’s the only one at all - crashes instantly.

The other rig has a 7990 and a RX480 - starts mining and stops after the first delivered package.

In both rigs the batch was exclusively written for this card.

R-380 (1000/1450Mhz) - 15.12: ETH - 20Mh/s, ZEC ~ 20sol/s. 16.7.3: ETH - 14Mh/s, ZEC ~ 20sol/s.
R-370 (1000/1400Mhz) - 15.12: ETH - 11Mh/s, ZEC ~ 22sol/s. 16.7.3: ETH - 11Mh/s, ZEC ~ 22sol/s.

how do you dual mine with Genoil?

This is not dual mining, but some cards better 15.12 drivers.

no worries, thought someone might have made an AIO miner for ETH/ZEC etc. :slight_smile:

I guess we can mine etc+dcr+zec simultaneously without serious loss?
with different miners i mean

I’ve noticed the RX 480 mem controller is only being used up by 30~45%, which tells me there is room for improvement.

Using 0.4.1 atm.
It runs great but as others have reported after a while some or all of the GPU’s go back to 0’s. Or if the connection to the server times out or gets interrupted, the miner is unable to reconnect and all GPU’s sit on 0’s.

I can confirm that new ver is working with R9 280x
I had few crashes at the beginning but now is fine
I dont know why gpu load is only 89-90%?

ok, i have started up a single miner for each card and that seems to be more stable. time will tell

Tested on 280x gigabyte works fine i am testing on 270X 280x dual-x sapphire right now works great
!

If anybody’s interested I’ve wrote a little batch file which automatically restarts the miner when a miner quit (speed goes to 0.0S/s) or null shares is found. I’ve run this overnight and it seems to work well keeping the miner going and a little better than timed restarts as it checks the output every 5 seconds to see if an error has occurred.

There are two batch files, you need to run the first one which launches the second

@echo off
echo starting miner
:loop
if exist output.txt del output.txt
time /t
start /MIN nh.bat
:loop2
timeout /T 5 /NOBREAK >nul
findstr /C:"quit" /C:"null" output.txt && (
taskkill /F /IM genoil.exe
timeout /T 1 /NOBREAK >nul
echo re-starting miner
goto loop
) || (
goto loop2
)

Second batch file named nh.bat

genoil.exe -c equihash.usa.nicehash.com:3357 -u yourID.yourWORKER -p x > output.txt
echo quit >output.txt
exit

Hopefully helpful for somebody

I have done that. require more Memories and ZEC mining drop 60% ETH mining drop around 40%. FYI

On Fury X ZEC is around 40 solsec, ETH is around 28 mhsec, but ZEC+ETH = 4 solsec + 4 mhsec.
