Ok. Hours or days? I doesnt made a long so far. Sry. Should we detach to terminal optional?

64

Itā€™s support GPUs (nVidia CUDA or AMD OpenCL)?

65

We are on it. We have a working solver for osx so far.

Currently we need a bit more work but seems promising.

./sa-solver --list
Devices on platform ā€œAppleā€:
ID 0: Intel(R) Coreā„¢2 Quad CPU Q9450 @ 2.66GHz
ID 1: GeForce GTX 970

./sa-solver --nonces 10 --use 1

Solving default all-zero 140-byte header
Building program
Hash tables will use 1208.0 MB
Runningā€¦

Intel(R) Coreā„¢ i5-3450 CPU @ 3.10GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970

Itā€™s my machine, I can help testing if it need.

OK FOLKS!
WE DID IT!
So in the next release (v5) there WILL BE the option to mine on GPU in the GUI.

big thx to @webgkv who get cool results on his GeForce GTX 970!
(Total 23.3 sol/s [dev1 25.7] 9 shares)
if you have any issues with current version (v4) let me know.

70

Will it support AMD GPUs too?

71

Yes. I cant wait to see results from ploaris on the new macbook.

Great job.
Thank you very much.

Where are the log files and is it possible to configure it ?

73

It didnā€™t work on my Hackintosh with AMD Gigabyte 6850

I could only run on cpu, but even on cpu it worked only with --intances 1 so i was getting just 3 sol/s

switched back to nheqminer and now i can get 16 sol/s on just cpuā€¦

i would be glad to mine on my gpu as wellā€¦ waiting for news about gpu/AMD mining

74

At least, the silentarmy kernel needs 1.2 gb GPU mem to work properly. Thx for testing.

I have an ā€œoldā€ iMac Mid 2010 :slight_smile:
./silentarmy --list
Devices on platform ā€œAppleā€:
_ ID 0: Intel(R) Coreā„¢ i7 CPU 870 @ 2.93GHz_
_ ID 1: ATI Radeon HD 5750_

The CPU miner is working (but low rate), and the GPU starts, receive the jobs, but no rate and I have a recurring error message :

./silentarmy --use=1 -c stratum+tcp://eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u MyAdress -v --instances 1

Which os? Thx for the info.

MacOs Sierra 10.12.1

I have used directly the binaries posted.

Works fine here:

I have a 2 year old iMac with the GeForce GT 755M graphics card. I used to mine quark with a version of ccminer that I compiled, which worked successfully with the OS X Cuda drivers. I know this is an older card but I though I would test out silentarmy.

I downloaded the prebuilt binaries and get the following:

Connecting to stratum.zcash.nicehash.com:3357
Stratum server sent us the first job
Mining on 1 device

Is this even worth pursuing?

This is the output from the device query:

Awesome, well done, been looking for this for some time!
