Miner- SILENTARMY v5

optiminer you have link thx

@thaiphamce Check your python3 version:

$ python3 -V

Make sure it is 3.3 or above. If you don’t have it:

$ sudo apt-get install python3

I installed a Ubuntu partition on a 2-card miner with W7 running Claymore. SA5 gives 12-15% increase with bone stock RX480 4GB & RX470 8G.

Wow thank you achieve, SilentArmy, and all else who have posted instructions here. With the right overclock settings I am hitting 82 sol/s on a single 1070:

*Edit: My setup is…

Windows 10 x64 desktop
Intel i7 4770k
EVGA GTX 1070 FTW: +500 Mhz memory, +52 Mhz core clock, 112% power limit
16gb DDR3 ram
Running latest GeForce driver 375.70 and all of the latest windows 10 updates (including anniversary update).

It was registering as high as 108 sol/s on just the single 1070 (The average is low because I had just turned it on).

*85…it’s slowly creeping up.

**Edit: peaking around 87-90 sol/s on the miner, but registering as 96.7 sol/s on flypool dashboard. Just GPU. This is a fantastic miner.

**Re-edit: See above. Seems to peak around 108 when looking back. Posted steps I took to get it working on windows on cryptomined’s YouTube video.

One thing I noticed with my GTX 970, setting --instances 1 gives 52Sol/s , (Default) 2 instances gives around 50.

Wonder if other cards have the same results

On my GTX 970 --instances=1 performs best, additional instances gets a little worse. There’s actually almost no performance difference on my RX cards, maybe a slight edge w/ --instances=3.

This is working for me , but when installing SILENTARMY-v5-Cygwin64-r6.zip i have 0 sols

the cygwin install did not work for me either, but perhaps I will give it another go this evening or tomorrow… for now this video may help some get started in windows with SilentArmy… at least until there is an official SA Windows release:

If anyone has pointers or results using python in windows and the dagf2101 please post in the comments. thank you

if you could please be so kind and report your results and how you got them in the comment section of my video, it will help more users I am sure. Thank you

Mining in donations right now, remember to show your support and give a little, doesn’t have to be much - its the thought that counts. You can mine directly to t1cVviFvgJinQ4w3C2m2CfRxgP5DnHYaoFC at zcash.flypool.org (any flypool server)

Now its working for me , need python 3.4m .

How much power/electricity it is drawing your 1070

Will it support in my PC, i have HP desktop, core2dou, RAM 2 GB…

Finally i run SA v5
Win 7 GTX 980 = 55 sol/s
Win 10 GTX 980 = 45 sol/s
If i run --use=1,2 (GTX 980 + GTX 980) CPU load 50% = 110 sol/s
If i run --use=0 (AMD FX 9590 8 thread) CPU Load 100% = 4 sol/s o_O
But if i run eqm_v1.0.0b (NiceHash Miner) with AMD FX 9590 7 thread + GTX 980 + GTX 980 CPU Load 90% = 142 sol/s
I hope for further optimization

Silentarmy isn’t CPU miner, don’t run it on CPU.

WHAT I MUST WRITE At bat file for running these options?
ZecMiner64.exe -zpool eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -zwal t1K8HUhsCRbdNkSz8FQLTnw4yBqgF64yU6F.280 -zpsw x -dbg -1 -i 2

MRB , we’re waiting for you to beat optiminer’s hashrate

Couldn’t @Hurtmanriff run say 4 threads on the CPU and the two GTX980’s with SA?

No as Silentarmy is OpenCL based and will for sure be slower than hand written x86 ASM miner (xenocat).

RX480 - ~75 Sol/s Stock
Fury - ~115 Sol/s Stock
Fury X - ~125 Sol/s Stock

Im seeing 4-7c lower temps so power consumption is also (probably) lower

Does this have a watchdog?

This works for me, to control fanspeeds dynamically:
