Title: zcash ASIC miner？ Post by: bolguss on August 02, 2017, 09:52:30 AM I've seen some top miner's homepage on flypool.org,like this one:
http://zcash.flypool.org/miners/t1WKexnwAjn1eke9y4WkKqgv4om7UYrv5eH i was curious that how could one rig have a hashrate like 1.4MH/s, this is zcash we're talking about, think a nvidia 1060 can only do 300h/s. Is this one an ASIC miner ? Could someone possibly invent an ASIC machine? Title: Re: zcash ASIC miner？ Post by: Rispel on August 02, 2017, 10:11:02 AM My GTX 1070 does close to 500 h/s. I don't think ASIC miners would work, since the Equihash algorithm requires a lot of memory.

Yeah, he uses some kind of proxy to connect all the miners to the same worker.

Title: Re: zcash ASIC miner？ Post by: QuintLeo on August 02, 2017, 10:49:50 PM Buying hashrate from Nicehash is the most likely reason Worker name "NH" and highly variable hashrate. We have a winner!

Bingo you nailed it, pretty simple. there's another problem, if all 10000 cards with the same name, if some cards are down, how can you tell which one is down, after all you have to restart them to go to work again Title: Re: zcash ASIC miner？ Post by: dbc23 on August 03, 2017, 02:11:08 AM I think this EXACT question pops up here about every three weeks it seems. I hope it's only because the last fifty threads asking it have worked their way so far down the forum the OP couldn't find them in searching to answer the question. :-\

Title: Re: zcash ASIC miner？ Post by: Metroid on May 15, 2018, 11:42:31 AM Well, maybe it WAS ASIC, even back then :) not at that time, i believe beginning december, now monero i have my doubts because it was just too quiet and that makes me think monero asic started around june 2017. Title: Re: zcash ASIC miner？ Post by: 2stout on May 15, 2018, 02:20:59 PM As Bitmain tends to "secretly" mine for a while on ASICs before releasing to the public for sale, it's quite possible it could be an ASIC miner.
