Title: Mining software for ARRR or ZCASH using AMD GPU RX 560
Post by: libertas on May 18, 2021, 08:49:30 PM
Hi all!


I'd like to mine some hours per day and I'm thinking of mining ARRR or ZCASH (or possibly Monero) as I'd like to mine privacy oriented alt coins where ASICs power cannot be applied.
My system is a AMD Ryzen 1600AF (6c/12t) with an AMD gpu RX 560.
I'm using Linux and would prefer this system, althouth I could use Windows.

I've looked at lolminer, but doesn't seem to have the possibility to mine ARRR or ZCASH.
I can't compile sgminer.

What can I use to mine?


Maybe I didn't understand correctly, but Luxor pool can change mining to the most profitable coin.
What do you advise me to do in case there's other more profitable choices?

Equihash algo isn't that good for red cards, as far as I remember. Since you don't really know what's what your best option would be using Nicehash.

ZCASH has been mined on ASICs for a long time.
For your AMD RX 560 graphics card, try Ethereum Classic, Ravencoin, or Ergo. Provided that the video card has 4 GB of memory.
For CPU, try Monero mining.
Don't expect big profits from your hardware. It will probably be easier for you to use Windows.

Nvidia GPUs owned Equihash algorithm mate, they are better than AMD cards in this algorithm, my suggestion will be to use the card to mine ETHEREUM and swap your ETHEREUM to any Privacy coin that you want

It is impossible to mine Ethereum on the RX 560 video card, because this video card has a maximum memory capacity of 4 GB.
I wrote above a list of coins that can be mined on this video card if it has 4 GB of video memory.
If this video card has 2 GB of RAM, then this is very bad.

Equihash is owned by asics and not Nvidia GPU“s  ::)

You forgot Verthash, Beam, Haven Protocol in your list.

And Dual mine ERG, VTC, XHV, ETC with ZIL.
