Miner- Zogminer: Linux SILENTARMY

is here someone mining with nvidia card ???

[OPENCL]:CL ERROR:CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES

527

Just to clarify that max amount of threads per 4GB RX470 = 2 threads.
Tried 3 and everything crashed instantly

528

This version is working great. Left it running overnight with genproclimit=2 in stratum mode pointing to Flypool and itā€™s still running strong 12 hours later (~34 H/s on RX 480) and actually no warnings or errors at all for me now.

Going to try genproclimit=3 or 4 given I have an 8GB card.

Canā€™t wait to try multi GPU with stratum support!

Does anyone know if I can point this miner to coinsforall.io ? Or can you recomend me a good pool?

Iā€™ve had no problems with coinsforall so farā€¦

You can point this to the stratum pool without multi gpu support: From This Repo

Coinsforall is not a stratum pool and very shady place, stay away from it :slight_smile:

From stratum pools you should consider:
zec.suprnova.cc
zcash.flypool.org

531

OK thanks man. Will try flypool. I read some bad things about suprnova, but thereā€™s so much FUD flying around that the only way to know is to keep testing I guess.

533

Thanks @age but see @voxelot post I replied too where it lists genproclimit and I can assure you it does work.

I understand this is n threads on 1 GPU and not multi GPU support (I can run separate instances if I want that currently or wait for multi GPU setup which is in the solo mining software but not in stratum supported one).

534

I tried genproclimit=3 and whilst it works itā€™s slower cumulatively than 2.

535

Yep, you are right. I removed my post to not confuse others. I missed the code where we added that option in. My bad :slight_smile:

Getting 136H/s on 4 x 480s running in Stratum mode to Flypool. Running 4 instances of the miner each with 2 threads - getting about 17 H/s per thread and 8 threads running. Running more threads per card doesnā€™t improve my performance though it works! Going to leave it run a while to see if itā€™s stable.

537

@garethtdavies do you know if you can run 4 threads on a 8GB 480 instead 2 threads on a 4GB one?

538

You can but in my very very quick test it produced worse results than just running 2. This may change over timeā€¦

539

What GPUs currently have the best results with Zogminer ? Iā€™ve been trying to find a list of GPUsā€™ performance but to no availā€¦

Iā€™m following the instructions at GitHub - nginnever/zogminer: an OpenCL Zcash GPU miner and it says it is fetching beta2 proving keys now. What do you mean look at the other repo? Do I need to be concerned about this and how did you fix it? Thanks to anyone for help :slight_smile:

follow the user guide for the basic zcash mining listed here Home Ā· zcash/zcash Wiki Ā· GitHub which puts the values in the right places, then run the zogminer build.

From the regular zcash guide:

Fetch our repository with git and run fetch-params.sh like so:

git clone https://github.com/zcash/zcash.git cd zcash/
git checkout v1.0.0 ./zcutil/fetch-params.sh
This will fetch our Sprout proving and verifying keys (the final ones created in the Parameter Generation Ceremony), and place them into ~/.zcash-params/. These keys are just under 911MB in size, so it may take some time to download them.

Then in the zogminer directory:

Then run the build, e.g.:

./zcutil/build.sh -j(nproc)

Cool. Looks like I donā€™t need anything, but this probably explains why after I pulled the newer fetch-params from the non pool zogminer code and replaced that file in my zcutil directory it kept telling me permission denied when I tried to run it. Maybe it was trying to overwrite the keys I already had when I went through the process you described at launch while my zcashd node is running? I didnā€™t realize zog and zcashd were storing the parameters in the same place. Iā€™ve deleted the beta keys and the sprout keys are already there. Itā€™s building.

Thank you kindly. :slight_smile: Youā€™re a gentleman and a scholar.

Looks like all gpuā€™s are now supported on silentarmy. This guy is good. @Age @voxelot

Thanks, this is great news!

We will update the code accordingly!

This has been updated.

Iā€™ve added silentarmyā€™s kernel changes to support GCN 1 cards.

Please rebuild /zcutil/build.sh to see changes.

Cheers!

Thanks for this @Age

  • Appears to be working on zcash-miner @19-25sol/s(testrun)

  • cant run on stratum
    The repo needs sorting :grin:

  • 0 Sols/s and 0 equihash run on zcashd.

Compiled both version.
FYI.
