I take it in the new update the miner still requires an AVX compatible processor?
yes v5.0 is slower than 4.1 which means going back to 4.1
I was reading OCminer Suprnova thread. He says that share decrease is from fake shares or stale shares from Genoil miner (that post is 4hrs old)
did anyone tried 0.5 without specifying -i and -w?
maybe this works faster?
i have a feeling that -w can help IF you have a fast CPU.
does not seem to help with GPUs, though.
OT: zec’s surge seems to somehow kill btctalk-it is in and out all day today.
I’m running that command in my batch file. First of all, what does that command do? Second, when it says total, is that the total of all my cards? If it is, it is a huge drop from my previous batch without using that command.
with -i 20 and -w 64 the performance should be equal, CPU usage just as bad 
please upgrade to this version, it has much less 21 error (sending invalid shares).
Seems to be more stable for me so far; been going about an hour. That said, for some reason it’s not showing Sol/s anymore…is this normal? (When I check the pool, it’s showing the correct Sol/s there, but it’s only showing the attached in the terminal.)
Shares can have different difficulty. What pool are you use?
Flypool - I have Genoil autorestart every 900 seconds (sometimes it borks out).
They use PPLNS - Vardiff.
where can i find an “autostart” ? is it program or its a parameter on genoil zec miner’s
Just some random code and you make it an executable
Place this into a text file then save as (all files) thenameoffileyouwant.bat.
Just ran the bat (nothing else needed except the pool and taddress and worker)
@echo off
echo:
set executable=genoil.exe
set commandline= -c eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u taddress.worker -p x
set runforseconds=900
set restartinseconds=5
set /a counter=0
timeout 3
:start
start “genoil” %executable% %commandline%
echo:
echo The software will run for %runforseconds% seconds
timeout %runforseconds%
taskkill /f /im %executable%
echo:
echo Restarting the software in %restartinseconds% seconds (%counter%)
timeout %restartinseconds%
set /a counter+=1
echo:
echo:
goto start
Not sure if this will help but after monitoring the miner with the new 0.5 version (which reduces the 21 issue) I get the following error message every time before the miner goes into a 0.0S/s endless loop.
zec-sa#0write: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
zec-sa#0 Mining thread quit
My batch file basically just looks for the quit word in the output, kills the task and re-launches the miner
did u try it? did it solve problems?
i have a rig, 5 x 390s … gpu1 crashing every 10-30mins so i need restart miner ever 20min .
If you’re using modded rom, try flashing back the original rom. For some reason a stable rom for ETH mining makes my card crashes frequently in ZEC mining. Also try the latest version (0.5)
how does autorestart of genoil miner helps on flypool?
I was trying to use one of the calculators and the input field is in H/s not Sols. Is there a way to find out what the H/s is in genoil?
i am using orjinal rom. when i am using coinsforall.io’s zcashgpuclient-0.2.2 also GPU#1 or GPU#4 crashing… i am trying genoils’ miner v0.5 same problem
i have: 2 x r9 390x 8gb and 3x r9 390 8gb same pc always crashing…
@trolloniex That works on my R9 290 rig, but if I use the autorestart on my RX480 rig, it works to restart the miner, but shares don’t increase like they did before… weird
