You guys still have problem with stale shares? I dont see any new version or fix ---

@cryptomined > i found the linux install straight forward and stable So, I can use this miner with flypool after compiling it myself ?? ---

no you can not use this miner on flypool use genoil v4 ---

For the record using silent army kernels I’m getting faster speeds under linux than windows, in the region of 10-15%. My power usage is correspondingly lower in windows, even a little better than that. About 600W (linux) vs 450W (windows) for a 6 card rig, but it fluctuates a lot more than, for example, eth mining. I haven’t done a lot of tweaking - I tend not to tweak things until they’re stable at their default settings! 😃 I’m mining on Windows at the moment for greater pool choice, but I would prefer to mine on linux all things being even. ---

Is the list in the original post still valid? Is the [Coinsforall.io](http://Coinsforall.io) Miner still the best option for GPU mining on linux? Ideally looking for an AMD GPU miner with stratum support, to mine to suprnova. ---

Basically yes. Coinsforall is the only stable multi GPU miner currently but of course it is missing stratum support. Zogminer is getting really close though - I just ran a single GPU for over 12 hours and got a steady 35 H/s out of an RX 480. They have release multi GPU solo mining so only a mater of days before this one is a viable option. ---

Can someone post a step by step guide how to get Linux up and running with the new AMDGPU-PRO drivers for the RX 470/480. I downloaded Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Installed. And mouse wasn’t working. So I used terminal to install AMDGPU-PRO 16.30 drivers and they seem to have installed but there were a few warnings/errors along the way. When I restarted, I got a black screen. Could only access the computer by remote SSH. It seems Xubuntu 14 with the fglrx was much much simpler. ---

Step by step guide is here [http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Install.aspx](http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Install.aspx) if you haven’t already seen it. How many cards do you have? I always install the drivers with just a single card plugged into the first PCIe x 16 slot and then add more cards and risers after this works (not entirely sure if necessary but always worked for me) ---

Yes I followed that guide also and did it one card at the time. ---

you can use my Linux Operating System for ming Zcash on GPUs 🙂 [simplemining.net](https://simplemining.net) I will upload newest image v1013 of R and RX system in a 30 minutes. if it shows on website, you can download and use 🙂 ---

Yeh, this is the [coinsforall.io](http://coinsforall.io) miner so you’re locked in as no stratum supprt currently. Hopefully you’ll be able to add Zogminer as soon as it is stable (it’s getting close!) ---

Updated my original post as Zogminer appears to run well. You can run multiple threads on a single card (I was getting 2x 17H/s on a single RX 480). If you want multiple GPU and stratum support you can simply run multiple instances of the miner simply specifying the card to use each time `S=1` etc… I’m currently testing this with 4 miners running on 4 cards each with 2 threads. Hopefully native multi GPU support will be added soon 😁 ---

`./src/zcash-miner -G -S=2 -stratum="stratum+tcp://us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333" -genproclimit=2 -user=t1addresshere.yourrigname -password=z` So this will run on the 3rd GPU (indexes from 0) and uses Flypool and runs 2 threads per card (obviously update the address). So simply run this however many times you want - so to run the first GPU set S=0 and give it a different rigname. You’ll likely want to run these as background processes using screen or similar. I’m getting 136 H/s off 4 x RX480s (8 threads at around 17 H/s) and monitoring it for stability right now. ---
