Zcash ZECt Miner

There are several reasons why I don't publish the source of this. One of them is that I want to save you the pain of having to go through this awful junk. Another one is that I have evil plans with this junk. And finally I got John's CUDA solvers without any license stuck onto them a few weeks back, so I have no idea what he wants me to do with it. All I know is that this works on suprnova with at least Hawaii (390X @20), Ellesmere (470 @14) and Fiji (Fury@23) (very approximate numbers there), so I hope it does for you too! Feedback and suggestions are very much appreciated!

Zcash ZECt Miner

README.md Genoil's ZEC miner A basic AMD OpenCL Zcash GPU miner. Features • AMD GCN architecture GPUs • multi GPU • stratum pool connection • fast SilentArmy kernels Options Command line options: Command line param Description Example --help,-h show help message --krnl,-k kernelname set kernel(s) -k zec --conn,-c hostname:port set host -c zec.suprnova.cc:2142 --user,-u username.worker set user -u Genoil.SilentArmy --pass,-p workerpass set password -p z --gpus,-g set gpu(s) -g 0 1 2 3. --work,-w set work size(s) -w 64 --ints,-i set intensity(ies) -i 20 --plat,-P set OpenCL platform id -P 0 --fail,f set gpu fail mode -f 0 --zero,z set zero sols watch -z 1 Notes: • --krnl/-k parameter can have multiple parameters.

This will launch more CPU threads, each running a miner with the specified kernel. For now, only dual (or more) zec is supported, i.e. '-k zec zec' • --ints/-i parameter sets 2-log of equihash bucket size & OpenCL global work size. Only the following values are supported: 20, 19, 18, 16. Lower values will usually lower performance, but free up GPU resources for desktop work or dual mining. • --work/-w parameter prefers powers of to between 64 and 256. You may experiment with other values.

ZCash is the first zero knowledge crypto protocol. Zcash offers total payment confidentiality, while still maintaining a decentralized network using a public blockchain.

• --plat--P paramter is useful for systems with iGPU enabled or mixed AMD/Nvidia GPUs. • --fail/-f 0: attempt gpu restart 1: exit gpu thread 2: exit application (default: 0) • --zero/-z 0: disable 0 sol/s watchdog 1: enable 0 sols/s watcdog (default: 1) Example: genoil.exe -c zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -u Genoil.SilentArmy -p z -P 0 -g 0 1 -i 20 -w 64 Known issues Current release may have problems compiling kernels on first use. It can help to launch the miner for a single gpu first, before trying to run with multiple GPUs.

This is especially the case when you have differetn models of GPUs in your rig. Changelog 0.5 • show help message • reduce number of '21' errors • reconnect on 21 error • reintroduce -w and -i switches 0.4.2 • GCN 1.0 support (SilentArmy v2) • reconnect on 24 error 0.4.1 • does not require AVX2 CPU any longer 0.4 • SilentArmy v1 kernels 0.3 • Trial & error release 0.2 • some bug fixes 0.1 • initial release Credits Up until version and including version 0.3 I could use OpenCL ported versions of. Thanks John, your rock!

From version 0.4 onwards I'm using. Thanks Marc, you march, silently!

Also thanks to ocminer from suprnova and feeleep from coinmine.pl for debugging assistance! And to my donators who provided me with shiny new GPUs!
