#PSA

The solo mining portion of Zogminer has moved (temporarily) to a clone of the zcash repo found at https://github.com/nginnever/zcash We will make a PR to zcash when it is ready. This repo can still serve as pool miner. 

# ZCash-gpu-miner

An OpenCL [Zcash](https://z.cash) miner solving [Equihash](https://www.internetsociety.org/sites/default/files/blogs-media/equihash-asymmetric-proof-of-work-based-generalized-birthday-problem.pdf) PoW.

## Building

First make sure OpenCL is correctly installed in your system. If you are having issues, take a look at our [Ubuntu Guide](https://github.com/nginnever/zogminer/wiki/Ubuntu-16.04-Setup) or [Fedora Guide](https://github.com/nginnever/zogminer/wiki/Fedora-24-Setup). 

If you are getting ```/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lOpenCL```, the error has to do with the driver installing ```libOpenCL.so``` as ```libOpenCL.so.1```. You can create a symlink:

```

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so.1 /usr/lib/libOpenCL.so

```

Or for people that do not want to mess with this:

```

$ sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-opencl-dev

```

### Unix

Install the dependencies. On Debian/Ubuntu-based systems:

```

$ sudo apt-get install \

      build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev m4 g++-multilib \

      autoconf libtool ncurses-dev unzip git python \

      zlib1g-dev wget bsdmainutils automake opencl-headers \

      mesa-common-dev

```

On RedHat (Fedora/CentOS) systems:

```

$ sudo dnf install \

      git pkgconfig automake autoconf ncurses-devel python wget vim-commom \

      gtest-devel gcc gcc-c++ libtool patch opencl-headers mesa-libGL-devel

```

Fetch our repository with git and run fetch-params.sh like so:

```

$ git clone https://github.com/nginnever/zogminer.git

$ cd zogminer/

$ ./zcutil/fetch-params.sh

```

Ensure you have successfully installed all system dependencies as described above. Then run the build, e.g.:

```

$ ./zcutil/build.sh -j$(nproc)

```

This should compile our dependencies and build zcash-miner. (Note: if you don't have nproc, then substitute the number of your processors.)

## Running

### Run GPU test miner

```

$ ./src/zcash-miner -G

```

Usage:

```

$ ./src/zcash-miner -help

```

### Stratum

```

./src/zcash-miner -G -stratum="stratum+tcp://
:" -user= -password=

```


### Solo mine ZCash

This currently only works on the zcash branch https://github.com/nginnever/zcash

zcashd -G -allgpu (this will load all your cards and solo mine)

zcashd -G -deviceid= (this will run a specific card)

zcashd -G -allgpu -genproclimit=2 (this will run two threads per card. If you're card has 4gb or more this can work)

First create or modify ```~/.zcash/zcash.conf``` with the following:

```

testnet=1

addnode=betatestnet.z.cash

rpcuser=username

rpcpassword=password

gen=1

GPU=1

deviceid= (default: 0)

```

Next run zcashd:

```

./src/zcashd

```
