I am wondering how long people are waiting between returns of zcash. My total speed is appalling. Anyone got any tips on what I can do. My cpu won’t allow intensity over 2, do I need a better amd card?
JCbean a lot more information is needed before someone can starting giving you an opinion or suggestions
CitricAcid, fair enough. I am very new to this and trying to learn as much as humanly possible about mining. Do you have any recommended reading for me, because a lot of what I am seeing is currently over my head and I don’t want to waste anyone’s time with inane questions.
12.1 ver released. anyone test already on linux?
When I said more information is needed, I meant that “you” need to give us more information.
You mentioned your speed is appalling, What is your speed, how many cards, what cards, what do you pay in power, are you cpu or gpu or both mining.
And are you also asking if people are selling their zec as soon as they get it or playing the long game?
I just install 12.1 on my Ubuntu. The same config i’ve got in ver. 12.
On 12.1 Claymore change intensivity to 7
On 12 intens was 8.
config looks totally the same, the same drivers etc. Anyone can tell me what can be wrong?
I stay with ver 12 till i find out how increase mining intensivity.
You’ve already answered your own question. Drop your intensity down on v12.1! It’s not a bug, it’s not the fault of the dev, it’s simply that the kernel optimizations have rendered the higher intensity settings counter-productive.
Claymore said in the update notes that -i 8 was blocked on some cards due to stability.
Willing to bet that you have more sol’s with 12.1 at -i 7 than 12 on -i 8, I know I do…
My Fury x’s are now over 500
I was asking not because my -i was 7. I ask because ive got less hashrate than on 12
Ver 12
Ver12.1
I try use different algoritms, settings, intens etc, still the same problem.
Qlio - Sometimes newer isn’t better. If you’ve ran version 12.1 for an hour and you know that you are getting less than version 12, then go back to version 12.
and to ask the question, what video drivers are you using? have you wiped the drivers and did a fresh install?

Yes, i did full reinstall drivers. 16.60 working well with ver 12. 16.3.2 was unable when i change system to linux. ( i was working on windows last 4 months)
v12.2 released:
- fixed issue with “-ttli” option.
- improved “-mport” option, now you can specify network adapter IP for incoming connections for remote management.
- added “-old 1” option, try to use it if v12.0 works stable for you, but v12.1 is unstable.
Where can I change these variables?
New 12.3 version.
Anyone got 16.3.2 AMD drivers for linux?
export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
You can put them in your .bashrc startup file.
Hi,
If Claymore is around or someonw knows how we can get to him , i have a complaint about the linux version ov V12.1 and v12.2 . I get segmentation fault everytime i start the miner. Unfortunatelly i 'm not a programmer not a sysadmin to understant what exactly is the problem , but from what i investigated so far it seems there is a bug in miner’s code … maybe a rogue pointer or idk…I mention that i use Ubuntu server , headless , with No-X support with the driver downloaded froom AMD site (fglrx-core_15.302-0ubuntu1_amd64_ub_14.01.deb).

I captured the system calls which are made when the program is executed , maybe it helps

You can’t run AMD fglrx drivers without X11 installed and running. Without fglrx-core AND fglrx driver components installed and running, and X11 running, the GPUs will not be recognized, so obviously the miner can’t run.
Edit: These are the driver packages that must be installed (after removing any other drivers currently installed):
fglrx_15.302-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
fglrx-amdcccle_15.302-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
fglrx-core_15.302-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
Install them, reboot, then run “sudo aticonfig -f --adapter=ALL --initial” and reboot again. Xorg must already be installed on the system before the “aticonfig” command will work.
Latest results from R9 fury x is around 470, but the cooler fan is headache to mount especially if your PC casing is a normal one.
Thanks for reply. I also installed Ubuntu 14.04.3 Desktop with all drivers needed with all dependencies , with no error at install and when i start them miner it shows 0.00 H/s . Few weeks ago i had Ubuntu 15.04 Desktop with (with X11) and divers installed properly and it mined stable for 5 days continuously and after about 128 hours of uptime the driver crashed
and in the logs i saw some catastrophic error in complation of something . after this incident i tried to uninstall the drivers and reinstall them but the miner didn’t worked anymore showing 0.00 H/s. Unfortunatelly i forgot to keep a sample of that exact error before uninstalliing Ubuntu 15.04.
Now i don’t know what to do exactly…my experience with mining so far was very frustrating and exhausting :)). The thing is i have some old HD 7970s but still…
I think i will try to install REHL 6.5 if it won’t work , i will try RHEL 7.0 then SLE 11 SP3 , then openSUSE 13.1 that is almost all distros for which AMD offers drivers.
OpenSUSE Leap 42.1 work very fine with driver AMD fglrx, faster than Ubuntu!
Easy install:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh http://geeko.ioda.net/mirror/amd-fglrx/openSUSE_Leap_42.1/
sudo zypper -v in fglrx64_amdcccle_SUSE421 fglrx64_core_SUSE421 fglrx64_graphics_SUSE421 fglrx64_opencl_SUSE421 fglrx64_xpic_SUSE421
sudo reboot
