Title: Best Miner For ZCash?
Post by: Ovidiu005 on February 19, 2018, 09:09:06 PM
Hello! I am new to the mining world and I want to mine ZCash. Which miner is better and gives a better hashrate: EWBF, nheqminer or Excavator. If it is other please tell me. Thanks! :)
PS: I will use nanopool as a pool.

dstm's miner is by far the best at the moment

EBWF has worked best for me with my 1060s hashing fastest with it, though there are people that use dstm out there. Its always best to test yourself though, download whichever miners you feel are the fastest and test them for a while. You'll find out pretty quick which ones are fastest.

EWBF for Windows, DSTM for Linux.

@70% TDP dstm is faster. Tested on 1060, 1070 and 1080ti. Maybe it's different @ 120% TDP but you are not right in the head is you run on super high clocks / tdp anyways

Depends on which cards. On my 1070 card, DTSM seems to be slightly faster, while 1070ti EWBF wins the race with 4% better performance.

I have been using DSTM's zCash/Equihash Nvidia miner. It works great!
