in the build instructions we install qt5 and then it say to change directory to nheqminer and make sure i have qmake in the path, i dont know how to do this? i mean i cant change the directory to nheqminer its not installed yet. I’m also unsure of how to put qmake in the path? if i continue on with the instructions im asked for user name for github?
Thank you for the amazing work. I have been testing this on a number of my rigs, and I have noticed a couple of things with my dual AMD 470 and 480 rigs where they are only hashing on one GPU per rig.
Is there a similar command line switch to -cd 0 1 etc but for AMD GPUs?
Thanks

thanks and i can add -t 1 or how many threads I want to use if less than all
ok ill try now

i thought the nheqhminer was for cpu only not gpus
its late here so maybe reading things wrong lolz
The 0.2 release supports CPU + CUDA (Nvidia only). If you use -h you can see the flags/options available, but seems to do CPU+GPU mining just peachy on Win10 right now. (you need to specify GPUs for mining w/ -cd flag)
@peter_zcash wow ! I setup my CPU miner fast and quick. Just need my correct zcash address. Thanks!
What about GPU support? I found this GPU miner: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1660023.0;all
cheers!
Dude, this question has been asked like 3 times, read the thread. 
“peter_zcash
After a lot of investigation on the pool communication protocol of the
eXtremal GPU miner we are confident that we will be able to provide a
connection option for this miner before the launch date. Nevertheless
Nicehash seems to be close to releasing a competitive stratum enabled
CPU & GPU miner which we will, most likely, support out of the box.”

Woooohoooo peter you are the best cant wait to see thatmodified version you made my day!
Hi Peter, I checked the contents of the tar and zip ( https://github.com/etherchain-org/nheqminer/releases/tag/0.2 ) and there is no cuda code in there as far as i can tell …
Are you sure you gave us the right links ?
needless to say i built it and it is thus:
/home/zerocuda/nheqminer-0.2/build $ ldd nheqminer
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007ffee27dd000)

The source won’t be for 0.2 b/c nicehash haven’t published it yet. I can confirm however that the patched 0.2 Windows binary does work w/ CUDA (and also switches to xenoncat’s CPU solver)
thanks … so if i use windows can i do cpu mining with my i7 and gpu with my nvidia simultaneously ?
Yes it works … 40 Sol/s with an i7 6700 HQ and an NVidia GTX980M 
Yep, I’m getting about 40 sols/s w/ my 4790k and gtx 970 desktop. I’ll probably leave it running for a while on genesis just to see how it does…
right … thanks guys … lucky i got a dual boot … i’ll give it a crack tonight
Has anyone got an eta on the linux source with cuda ?
Odd that it supports Nvidia when most miners use AMD will they be releasing
AMD support before the launch
You’re looking at it the wrong way. nicehashdev just ported tromp’s cuda solver because tromp’s the only person who open sourced his GPU solver. tromp wrote CUDA because that’s what he felt like doing (there are others porting it/writing OpenCL - extremal’s miner works but is locked to the coinsforall 4% pool, zogminer probably won’t make genesis, and genoil did an OpenCL port but hasn’t released it, etc etc.)
“They” is the wrong terminology since it’s just a bunch of independent developers writing stuff. If by “they” you mean any of the ZCash core devs, then no.

Payments on the pool have been enabled. You can find your corresponding tx hashes in the payments tab of your mining dashboard.
- did you implemented the extremal miner protocol for connections so we can use it ? as of the moment this is the fastest miner
- you were talking about that pool with switch automatically when the coin is launched, how this is possible when we have test-zvash wallet addresses ? At the moment we can’t generate the primary Zcash wallet chain and only test ones which are useless to mine with in the main net. If I understand correctly we would need to re-start miners with the new wallet addresses when such are available, right ?
The Extremal miner doesn’t have stratum support
I know that but Peter have listed he is working to implement it. thanks for trolling
