Hello
I generated a zcash address with WalletGenerator-master from github and then transfered 2 zcash to it. Now it seem impossible to use it. When i try to get balance i get this error
zcash-cli getbalance pRiVATeKey
error code: -11
error message:
Accounts are unsupported
I also tried to import the private key to winzec in windows and after fully sync i get balance 0 but on explorer.zcha.in it shows i should have enough
Any help is greatly appreciated!

i resolved the lagging problem by connecting hdmi to gpu 1 after fresh reinstall ddu.
pretty amateur

12 rx580 are powered by 2 evga 1300 gold. The problem with windows starts after i install radeon drivers. initially without drivers windows work fast. once driver is installed and 12 gpu connected, it is impossible to use it. i have to move mouse and wait like 1-2 minute for it to move

what mb do you have ? My windows is trash with 12 gpu installed.

I did all steps posted by @Vann still unusable Windows. I changed partition type from mbr to gtp reinstalled os 10 uefi with 1 rx580 in slot. turned off secure boot & csm. DDU in safe mode then installed adrenalin driver with all 12 gpu inserted. its almost impossible to use windows. i have to wait like 10 minutes to login windows. mouse is lagging. After waiting like half hour to get in, claymore error "miner didnt start for 5 minutes, restarting...". I also tried smos which is great but i dont want to use ethernet cable so i need windows.
Any suggestion ? Could it be motherboard ? Asus optimisation software shows 12 available gpu, everything is ok with raisers, except that windows is lagging.

latest version with update. it is completely useless, unresponsive. mouse is lagging very hard. i have to wait like 5 minutes to open amd settings. processor is intel i5

Hi
I'm trying to connect 12 rx580 to Windows10.
I  installed amd drivers with 1 gpu then i connected one gpu and restarted windows after each gpu to install. However when i pass 7 gpu windows become unresponsive and useless.
I would like to ask the community how did you manage to install all 12 gpu in windows 10 ? What is the steps ? Do you install one card then restart windows for each gpu or you plug in all 12 same time ?
My specs:
Motherboard asus b250 mining expert
ram corsair dominator 16gb
Virtual memory set 35 GB
amd adrenalin 12july drivers, also tried blockchain
all gpu are rx580 8gb
Thanks in advance for any suggestion

In my opinion it doesn't worth to pay almost double price because rx580 need bios flash comparing to 1070. I'm looking at big advantages of 1070 over rx580 to justify the hefty price

I'm going to mine mainly ETH but i'm also developer testing & coding software for mining and i use my farm in these tests.
I noticed a huge difference in price between rx580 and 1070 and this is why i started this thread.
319$ and 499$ is big difference for such close performance.
Any concrete advantage of 1070 over rx580 ?
Thanks

Hi folks,
I'd like to ask experienced miners what do you think is better deal nowaday to buy RX580 at 319$ or 1070 at 499$ ? From my experience they have the same hash-rate performance on mining ETH but the price difference is 40% more for 1070. I understand nvidia consume less energy but energy difference is not significant if we comparing price ratio. Considering investing 20.000$ would you go for 580 or 1070 ?
Any though ?

TheShillBilly: do you realize exactly the mistakes you made, so others can learn ? I'm asking because the fact that you exposed your key to a forked wallet is not reason you lose your coins. In this case you can easily go after the GitHub user IP and track him or report this to authorities. There was a similar case like yours and police was able to catch the bad guy. Have you scanned your system for viruses ?
Don't desperate, there are ways to recover funds if you do proper open-intelligence research.
For community sake, hopefully you get your funds back!

when you install a driver it places a .sys file in your windows folder that controls the device gpu signals through a kernel driver. every device brand has unique kernel driver, hence it is impossible to have 2 drivers for the same amd or nvidia but you can have 1 for amd and 1 for nvidia

why not use winsockets and just download the whole page in a std::string then parse values for each coin and display ?

As i said in first post, a nice graphical interface has 0 side-effect to performance comparing to a console but it should provide user a rich experience.
I remember when i flashed first gpu's i had to test lot of .rom to check which one is good, imagine if we have the community submit the best .rom and once a new user open the software - based on his gpu id he will get a list of community recommended settings / bios based on his hardware. just like windows 10 is installing the best drivers automaticaly.
For example:
user 1 has rx580 gets 24 mh/s
user 200 has rx580 gets 19 mh/s
user 99999 has rx580 gets 31 mh/s
Now the software should compare the best results and just get the timing stamps from the best gpu id / mhs and send to a community database. When a new user has the same rx580 the software will check database for best timing stamps and if the user has lower than average mh/s he should be recommended the community settings and if he click yes it will flash the specific gpu automatically. The same for any type of gpu.
Same scheme i think would work for profit switching algorithm, if i understood correctly nicehash switch profit algo by whatever buyers of hashpower pay but not by calculating current currency price / rig speed.

claymore is great but i don't like consoles. he should make a nice graphical interface to be very easy to use without so many --console --arguments. also claymore charge too much, the miner fee i think should be a lot less
we need to have a database with tested bioses and new users should be recommended to automatically install specific bios according to their gpu id all in 1 click without softwares like ddu, atiflash etc
a visible pool network monitor would also be great for transparency to make sure pool don't steal hash rate

I see all miners just make console software to mine and we use separate software to overclock/undervolt/monitor
I wonder why no one made a program to do all in one everything, is it not worth it or what ?
For example nicehash does a good job at sorting out which algo is best to mine now and  it uses a list of known miners to start outside process but it doesn't provide gpu's monitoring live in program and ov/uv which i consider very important
What do you guys think, is it worth to make one ? Its not very hard to do it, just time consuming.
A qt windows software should not consume more resources than a console but to be able to display everything to the user i think would make huge difference
I also wonder why no one thought of making just all in one software for miners to be universal, like take all cryptos in the world and compile all of them under the same umbrela.
Any thoughts ?

I'm powering 10 risers and 3 gpu and cpu and 3 gpu with one psu and 7 gpu with another psu.
Both psu are connected to different circuit breakers
is that safe ? am i doing the same mistake as thread starter ?
please advice as i dont want to burn my gpus

hi thank you for reporting this problem
i think right now i'm doing the same mistake, not sure if i understood correctly though
I have 2 evga 1300 and one is powering the risers and the other psu is powering the gpu. do you think this is risky ? both psu are connected to different circuits

you want to install 8 gpu with only 4 gb of ram ? wtf
you didn't mention if you plug hdmi in motherboard or in gpu ?
first thing to do: check if you have any problem in safe mode. if no problem in safe mode then it means its driver problem, in this case use ddu then install fresh copy of driver and you shouldn't have any problem
