Yes, there are no GPU miners available. I also think str4d miner is the only miner with the stratum spec implemented.
@ocminer :
./src/zcash-miner -stratum=stratum+tcp://zec.suprnova.cc:2142 \
-username="account.workerUser" -password=pass -printtoconsole -debug
Thanks much. Will try this. Is this faster than the built in miner?
I don’t know, I don’t think so but that’s not very important, in a few weeks opens the mining contest subissions, so we will see more performant miners anyway (CPU & GPU)
I see. Thanks. Will give it a try.
I’ve just tested this on Windows 10 (via the Bash extension, see this thread https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zcashd-and-windows-10/1719/14) and it seems to work fine. Will leave it running for a while to check all ok.
Quick question, does anybody know how to get zcash-miner to run on more than one thread? I’ve just launch a few instances of it to run on more than one thread but wondered if there is an easier way?

genproclimit=number of cores
if you talk about standalone miner this is my solution to launch as backgroud proces … to stop kill the pid
./src/zcash-miner -stratum=stratum+tcp://zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -user=user.m1 -password=pass -printtoconsole &
./src/zcash-miner -stratum=stratum+tcp://zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -user=user.m2 -password=pass -printtoconsole &
./src/zcash-miner -stratum=stratum+tcp://zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -user=user.m3 -password=pass -printtoconsole &
./src/zcash-miner -stratum=stratum+tcp://zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -user=user.m4 -password=pass -printtoconsole &
will the stand alone look for a config file?
How will the standalone use genproclimit if there is no config file? Thanks
I think assume 1 per command line lauch
Don’t think genproclimit works for the standalone miner, at least I can’t get it to work.
Anyway I’ve earned, according to Suprnova, just short of 3 coins with 3 instances running in around 2hrs with a bit of down time for testing. No idea if that is good or bad. Running an i7-6700k not overclocked.
-genproclimit
does work with the standalone miner in -stratum
mode. See zcash-miner -?
for all currently-implemented config flags.
You are right, apologies. I was putting it in the zcash.conf like for the main program instead of putting it in the command line. Just tried it and it launches x threads as required.
Not done extensive testing but running with -genproclimit=4 seems slower than running 4 separate instances? Probably need to run it for a lot longer to be sure.
I can’t
see my worker at the pool?
is standalone miner using same miner inside beta1 ? can we consider more or less the same solving performance if compared to beta1?
