Im mining ZEC too, used Jaxx as you too, but after rumors just installed official ZEC wallet for Windows and working great as any other wallets (BTC/LTC/etc). Synchronize all blocks and working great, only transactions cost 0,001 for network plus 0,001 for wallet developer. Try it, you will be satisfied.

 BTW you will not mine so much with 1060, just buy 1070 or 1070Ti,  Im buying 1080Ti and working just great... With one 1070 I made like a 0,01 per day and half only

Recommend installing the official ZEC wallet as well. I have been using it with no issues for months. I have heard the same issues with Jaxx in the past and in general I try to keep an official wallet for every coin I plan to mine to ensure my coins are as safe as they can be if I plan to hold for a longer period of time.

zcash4win is the one I use and I have had no problems downloading and setting it up. What issues are you having with it? You just need to open it up and let it fully synchronize and when it catches up all your transaction history should be available.

I'm mining ZEC just for testing but yes, I'm using Zcash4win. It's quite easy to use, but sometime I have to change the screen resolution to see what changing in the wallet.

That's because there is no official GUI wallet for ZEC. It's a 3rd party wrapper that sits on top of the Zcash command line client.

I'm waiting on Exodus to move Zcash out of beta.
Once that is done I will move it to there or as plan B just buy a ledger nano s

^^^This.

In addition to that, there are currently no plans to provide Windows support for the official client.

I would just stick to the official client on Linux.

You did the correct thing about Jaxx. It is useless, it lost alot of my mining transactions :( for zcash im using the ledger nano. I cant recommend anything other than a hardware wallet and sleep good at night.
