Hello,

I wrote SILENTARMY which is a Zcash Equihash solver. I initially posted a thread on the Zcash forums, but I figured I might as well start a thread here.

The latest news is that I just released v2 which now supports GCN 1 hardware. In fact all AMD GPUs should now be supported, but keep in mind very little to no testing has been done on TeraScale (pre-GCN) GPUs as well as Nvidia GPUs. But I need people with Nvidia to test if possible. Now that v2 is released, my roadmap is:

  • v2: support GCN 1 → done
  • v3: make a full miner supporting stratum
  • v4: Nvidia support
  • v5: Windows support

Does anyone compare cpu speed affect sols?
