Multi instancing has sublinear gains due to memory contention.
I tested one equi1 instance at 4 Sol/s and 8 instances at 15 Sol/s.
Both; but mostly DRAM.
Latest commit achieves
4.33 Sol/s single threaded on 4Ghz i7
It’s also using 43% of runtime to compute blake2b hashes. Seems my next speedup must come from studying xenoncat’s blake2b hashing, as (s)he only spends about 20% of runtime on it…

from where i can download the miner that use cuda to test a 970 and a 750 Ti
Hello community! Can someone help one noob? I ask kindly if it is possible to write all the line commands, in the right order(from begining…to compilation). I have installed a fresh Ubuntu 14.04. What I have to do next? (to install video card driver, to install get…). I need the commands in the right order!!! I tried several time on my own but I didn’t make it… Thank you !!
Please avoid using the next-to-last
commit 98f64455228086b8170f71b6ea2914ba73a58e7a
it has a bug that causes incorrect index list reconstruction…
Can we use @tromp solver in zcash miner ass optimized ? if not then why difficulty level has increased manifolds to 1150?
Alright I am going to N00b the S**t out of this question.
WHY IN THE HELL HAS THE DIFFICULTY SKYROCKETED!?
How do we use these Solvers, Does not matter which or who’s, I just would like to test. (2 GTX 660ti’s)
Thanks in advance!

I used @sarath-hotspot/zcash solver who claimed to integrated @tromp solver but resultantly I lost 8900 mined blocks and back to ground zero… Oh God
What happened?
I did not change any wallet related code… just miner code.
Check my commit code is opensource.
It’s only test coins. If you were running beta 2, you may have to run zcashd -reindex.
So, miners, I see you’re eager to finally put some z.cash load on your CPUs 
… Good news for you - our nheqminer is ready! You can Download windows binaries here. Linux build instructions are here. On the link above you’ll also find instructions to run the miner, benchmark your computer, etc. Please note that this is our first release, CUDA supported release will be available in the following days!
Of course, special thanks goes to the z.cash community and Tromp for the solvers!

I’m running @sarath-hotspot miner with @tromp solver (https://github.com/sarath-hotspot/zcash/tree/standalone-miner) on a i7 4770k via zmine.io
Here my results for comparison:

I did all such things @funkyzebraz in search of fast solvers based on @tromp but anyhow thanks for telling me that these are test coins. Lols
testnet is currently at 9258 height/blocks. You are saying you mined 8900 out of all 9258 testnet blocks?
Do you see any transactions in your wallet?
zcash-cli listtransactions
@sarath-hotspot my wallet is turned zero 
do we need to reinstall your solver or what?
you probably just have a new wallet.dat file.
hi, nicehash just released a cpu miner with tromp’s solver:
C:\Users\yo\Downloads\nheqminer_v0.1b>nheqminer_x64_AVX.exe -b
Equihash CPU Miner for NiceHash v0.1b
Thanks to Zcash developers for providing most of the code
Special thanks to tromp for providing optimized CPU equihash solver
nope, old laptop with I7 here:
Speed: 3.01414 H/s
Speed: 5.66658 S/s
