Miner- Optiminer/Zcash GPU miner v1.7!

I don’t see what you mean… MSI Nvidia or Radeon?
Brands doesn’t make any difference on mining, only if the it comes pre overclocked.

Version 0.6.0 brings the long-awaited increase in hash rate! 20-30% more!

Nvidia still dont support ?

Checking in all my rigs right now. What is nonces in parallel? Intensity?

Please anyone know what to do ?

my bat file is :

SET POOL:3333=eu1-zcash.flypool.org
SET USER=t1aN2j5cvdDN47CMmdGRiEusUpJ76o39sqh.WIN10-5Cards-Rx470
SET PASSWORD=x
SET PLATFORM=0

OptiminerZcash -s %POOL% -u %USER% -p %PASSWORD% -c %PLATFORM%

Pause

-i gives intensity. See https://github.com/Optiminer/OptiminerZcash#intensity

Try different values for PLATFORM: 1 or 2

No Nvidia support yet.

Take “-c” off; it’s normally not necessary.

Don’t include the PLATFORM stuff in your .bat file.

It’s still soon to see average hashrates but I’m getting these:

7970/280x: → 170
290/290x: → 220
Fury: → 275

CRASH. optiminer 0.6.0, ubuntu 15.04 64 bits, ffglrx, R9 390

Thanks for 6.0 @Optiminer! I’ve been testing Claymore v8 on Windows (and that hurts!) for the last day, contemplating making the switch, due to the higher performance. However, what I have noticed is that Claymore v8’s hash rate at the miner does not correlate well with the effective hash rate on the pool. I was getting 275 sols/sec on my Nanos, but seeing something like 250 sols/sec on the pool, meaning Claymore is not finding as many shares per sols/sec as optiminer. With optiminer I see nearly the same raw hash rate on the miner as I see effective hash rate (finding shares/sec.) on the pool, which is very good. So, from a payout standpoint, I don’t see any advantage to Claymore v8; his higher hash rate doesn’t translate into a higher shares rate on the pool.

P.S. My hash rate went from 200 → 250 with v6 on the pool (flypool).

Just did a test with v6.0 and getting about ~185, with claymore i get ~198
@dlehenky so you say the 185 of optiminer are better quality then the 198 of claymore?

@Optiminer what about the gpu drop, is that fixed?

Yes, I’m saying optiminer is producing more shares on the pool per sols/s that you see in your miner log. The hash rate shown on the pool is the effective hash rate, calculated purely on the basis of shares submitted. The hash rate in your miner logs is the actual raw hash rate from the GPU(s), which gives no indication of how efficiently that raw hash rate is at producing shares on the pool. As I watch Claymore v8 running now, and for the last 24 hours, it stands out like a sore thumb compared to all my linux rigs running optiminer. The pool-side hash rate is really, at best 240-250 with Claymore v8.

Yes. Claymore reports the hash rate of your cards, but it disconnects for 90 seconds every hour to mine for him. So you have to multiply your Claymore hash rate by 0.975 to get your actual hash rate…and that’s not accounting for rejects/stales either.

If you see 198 with Claymore you’re probably actually getting 191 at the pool with 1% reject rate.

And I’m saying, at least for my Nanos on Ubuntu 16.04 server, there’s a much bigger drop with Claymore v8 between the miner’s sols/sec and the pool’s sols/sec.

sounds like it is worth to go back to opti if he fixed the gpu drop as well because even with better sol rate, if the miner drops a gpu every x hours claymore is the better choice

Yes, CMv8 has been a rock. I had opti v4 running very well, too, with the help of a little cronjob. It’s too early to say anything about optiv6. Some of the optiv5 rigs choked on the pool switch to a higher diff, with an accompanying connection reset. Opti needs some stratum work for recennect and failover, I think.

Opti 0.6.0 (brand new) on 16.04 and 14.04:

Rx 470 4gb 170 S/s Wow!
R9 380 4gb 115 S/s
R7 370 4gb 104 S/s

power use 5% higher than 0.5.0, but still below eth mining with default bios and no undervolting
Great numbers, thanks, Optiminer.
