Hi everyone..

I am try to setup my machine - win 10 64 bit to mine Zero coin, however the miner crashes, stating optiminer has stopped working.. and then goes into loop

@echo off
ECHO "WARNING: You need 8GB of virtual memory in Windows for EACH graphic card you mine on! Otherwise the program might crash and you need to restart Windows."

ECHO "Change the WALLETADDRESS and RIGNAME in mine_zero.cmd to yours!"
TIMEOUT /T 2
:start

#REM For http://zero.easymine.rocks use following:
#SET WALLETADDRESS=t1YDRA4MfZa32YvwzKKnVxe8TdFXXdLdLVJ
#SET RIGNAME=MyRIG01

SET GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1

optiminer -s zero.suprnova.cc:6568 -u My Wallet address.MyRIG01 -p x
TIMEOUT /T 10
goto start
pause

I am running this on AMD rx580 8GB cards. RAM installed on my MoBo is 4 GB DDR4.

Can somebody help here, thanks...

Mining FAQ:

1) GPUS with less than 4GB of memory are not supported, as the mining algorithm is quite demanding.

AMD Vega gpus are not supported.
NVIDIA 3GB gpus are not supported.
NVIDIA GTX1050 gpus are not supported.
NVIDIA 6GB gpus are not supported by the Windows miner. They are only supported by the Linux version.

2) If you have an onboard graphics card, you have to disable it in the miner. Use the -d switch to select gpus. If for example you have 3 gpus and one onboard card, you have to add the following at the end of your bat file: -d 1 -d 2 -d 3

Example Bat File : optiminer -s stratum.cryptoforge.cc:3032 -u YOURADDRESS.YOURWORKERNAME -p x -m 8080 -d 1 -d 2 -d 3 -i 1

3) In Windows, make sure to set a permanent swap file (virtual memory) equal to 8GB x (number of cards). For example for 3 x 8GB gpus, this should be AT LEAST 24GB. To do this, go to your computer advanced settings and select the virtual memory tab (may be slightly different, depending on your version of Windows).

4) For optimal performance on AMD gpus, use the blockchain drivers and properly modded bioses and overclock/undervolt settings.

AMD Example:
On AMD RX480-580/8GB cards, optimal settings reported are voltage -100 mV, power 80%, core/mem 1150/2150Hz.

NVIDIA Example:
On NVIDIA 1070 cards, optimal settings reported are TDP 70%, core/mem +100/+500.

5) MINING HARDWARE ROUGH ESTIMATES

AMD
RX 470/480/570/580 8GB = 10-12 S/s
RX 470/480/570/580 4GB = 5-6 S/s

NVIDIA
1060 = 8-9 S/s
1070 = 11-12 S/s
1070Ti = 11-13 S/s
1080 = 12-13 S/s
1080Ti = 15 S/s

6) Mining Rewards
One block is mined every 2 minutes, therefore 720 blocks are mined every day. It takes 720 blocks for freshly mined zeros to mature and to be transferred to your wallet. This means you will see the coins after AT LEAST 24 hours. This is the same for every zero pool. You may verify the transactions by using zeroexplorer.

Thanks for the response.. please see below:-

My GPU's are 8GB AMD rx 580 series. I do have a onboard graphic card, but when i run the optminer script, it says that the GPU identified are GPU0 and GPU1 for the 2 AMD's.

it then says setup started and then comes out of the command line, press any key to continue.

Have tried these pools -- supernova, zero.cryptoforge, mining.uk and a few more. but no luck so far. I am stuck Sad

No worries, you need to specify each GPU with appropriate device number (-d 0)

so if you have 8 cards you need all 8 devices listed in your bat file or you can just choose the whole platform with the (-c 1) command.

-d 0 -d 1 -d 2 -d 3 -d 4 -d 5 -d 6 -d 7 or -c 1 / -c 2 / -c 0 (it will be one of the three for the platform) Choose one of the options.

Optiminer is very CPU intesive so it might not handle all 8 cards running off one BAT file - If it works but crashes try splitting up the cards into two BAT files of 4 cards.

Example:

-d 0 -d 1 -d 2 -d 3 x 1 BAT

-d 4 -d 5 -d 6 -d 7 x 1 BAT

alright so i got 2 GPUs now wihch i was gonna add to the 4 i already had. I will keep the 2 separate to mine zero coin to start off. In this case my command should be

optiminer -s stratum.cryptoforge.cc:3032 -u YOURADDRESS.YOURWORKERNAME -p x -m 8080 -d 1 -d 2 ( each for the respective gpu).

And is the -i 1 or -c 1 required as well to be suffixed at the end after -d 2 ?
