I hope I am not breaking any rules ask for help. I want to mine Zcash. I have a rig I'm almost done building. What I need help with is understanding how to connect to pools. What pools.

Thank you for any help.

There must be someone that can help.

please help yourself and use the search function...or simply use google...this question is surely not asked the first time! invest time and please do your research before you asked such a question....btw i guess there are a lot of youtube guides leading you step by step..

Miner: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1707546.0
pool: https://zcash.flypool.org/

That only works if you know what your looking for. But being so new to this I do not no or even understand what to heck I need to do. ???
 

You were quoted with a downloadable miner and pool to mine ZCash, just download the miner, edit the .bat or config file with your ZCash address and the ZCash pool, whatever it requires, check the instructions. Then, create an account on that pool, it's not too much.
If it does seem too much for you and want an easy solution, use Nicehash, payment is in BTC though, you won't get any ZCash in your hands.

you want to know how to mine zcash....isnt that what you are looking for??

Thank you. I finally figured it out when Kronny posted the flypool link.

there is a project on this forum called SimpleMining, it is actually really nice and helps resolve most issues ever from the aspect of a newbie miner! it supplies everything needed.go ahead and look it up.

i agree but.. look around too.

Why would you not just answer the question?  Insulting the guy I think is smarter....

I don't have much experience, however I do know that you can buy "shares" of the ViaBTC mining pool....  This lets them do all the work, take a small fee and payout per share (I think each is $180? or so)

If you already have your own, go to Slushpool, For some reason I think it will walk you through step by step, and not be arrogant, or get mad that you did "find out somewhere else.." 

Sorry I couldnt be more help, I don't have any experience mining....

Ohhhh i read the replies after that first idiots response, and they seem to be much more helpful so disregard what I said.....

Hope it works out:)

So how does your research turned out to? have you successfully run your miners? how much hashrate are you getting?

thanks for calling me an idiot! ;D
posts like mine help ppl maybe getting into the right direction...learning about how to do research...i think this is essential as member on this forum!
its not meant bad and as you saw other ppl helped him with links...so he wont be lost!

Yes, I also mine at flypool for zcash as this is one of the highest hashrate in mining zcash, I usually will search most hashrate pool for particular coin, at least it is fast to get the share distribution. I don't want to wait one or two days to get the share, because I will switch to new coin which I think potential sometimes.

Nanopool pretty much has everything you need. You can download the miner and generate a config file directly from their website. Low fees too.
