 Well below is my 'puny' setup using windows 10 64 bit with the nicehash CPU miner direct to BTC for now.
At the below address.

https://www.nicehash.com/?p=miners&addr=1PbhCD56EE1ur45UvTca5wEUkAPpTi25oq (https://www.nicehash.com/?p=miners&addr=1PbhCD56EE1ur45UvTca5wEUkAPpTi25oq)

Currently as of just launched I'm making 13.7c per day. (Zowie!) on my

Windows 10 64 bit Satellite Pro 2010 st-6844 with 8 gig max ram (full) and Intel 4 core (8 core with virtual cores) (also currently running on 6 cores in bat file)
at a blinding I7 Q20 1.90 GHz CPU again with 8 meg ram total.

1.64/sols speed

0.0001 BTC a day.

13.7c USD a day

Living the dream I am. LOL :)

Here is the youtube link I used to toss this up on the Windows 10 machine. I plan on getting a Ubuntu 16.04 box up with 8 gig I have laying about up and running this
for giggles also.

Eventually I MAY figure out how to make an address and a wallet. But not that far yet

Anyway the youtube video link took 10 min to watch and 2 min to install. Just make sure you find out how many cores your CPU has via looking up the specs
the bat file is setup he uses on the youtube video (see comments) and all you put in for nicehash is your BTC address and what you have for cores.

I have my cores set at the end of the batch file at 6 IF I'm not using it for much or it dog's down. CPU performance is probably 80%. Remember on Intel I7 CPU's
from what I understand have 4 real cores and 4 virtual cores for a total of 8 cores. The author in the youtube video used 6 as did I. Also note even thou I have
an I7 that 'supposedly' could use the newer computer file he mentions in the video. Mine was too old (2000 machine) thus I used what he uses for a batch
file mentioned. So all I7 CPU's are not equal.

Also nicehash only mines to BTC directly to your address. (payouts daily). Anyway again the link below

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVNGcF37jM4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVNGcF37jM4)

He has an update to the above to mine GPU and or the above CPU to an address wallet on a pool. I have not got that far yet. So check his thread.

The other CPU version he mentions is below. Windows 64 bit also. BUT it mines to a pool and address and such. I've not figured out how to make a wallet yet. Need a Linux box setup
I'm working on first ..but here is the link if you want or know how to jump right to that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt4rsP5qshE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt4rsP5qshE)

His same channel on youtube has GPU miner setup of various kinds and other stuff.

Anyway folks on here can post there results and/or rigs and we can see if this boat floats or not. Anyway the above CPU setup is quick and amusing as a way to start.

Time for an upgrade? :)

I'm currently running my work desktop and work laptop, home laptop, and a couple of VPS machines, all CPU only, totalling around 75 Sol/s for an average 0.0032 BTC/day at the moment. Haven't started running my GPU rig yet. Nicehash payrates are pretty volatile, so I'm going to switch to another pool and hold ZEC when mainnet launches.

I saw that the CPU miners are very efficient at the moment, much more efficient than the GPU. So the initial hash will be high.

Yeah I may with a buddy point a full rig (6 cards) or a 1/2 rig (3 cards) at this. The catch imho is everyone is so p/o'd at ethereum if this looks as good as even ETC classic at some
point and gets around a $1 a coin.....the eth classic guys imho (those left) will bolt ..especially if either goes to a POS coin or in Eth classic's case make No DECISION on such and plug
ears going nanananana...which also is annoying

I never expected ethereum and GPU mining to make a comeback...considering that BTC uses enough electric as Denmark I think I read....figured I'd see where it goes...might be a coin
again in this particular direction..GPU wise I mean :)

I"d give it a 1 out of 20 chance of it getting someday to the 18c a coin LISK price now.......but hey missed the CPU days ..kinda cool how it works.

More importantly, it is getting me off my butt to put together the 2 towers I no longer use (regular non mining graphic cards of the 20 buck variety) from parts scattered across
the house...put them all back in 2 cases..where they should be as doorstops :) IF i spend a little electric and it makes me get that done ..I'm ahead :)

(boredom is a dangerous thing in crypto..passed on the A4 Innsilicon scrypt miners and their 45 day warranty......thus doing this to 'beat' the ASIC withdrawal cravings :(

I have some hash at genesis mining.
anyone without a rig can rent one using my referrals in my sig. thanks :)

Hi guy, anybody tried zcash.flypool.org (same guys who do ethermine and ethpool)?

I tried to install genoil's 2.2 and 3.2 as per their instructions, but windows 10 refuses to run genoil.exe from a bat file.
my driver is 16.9.1
How you guys do it? is there a minimal amount of RAM?

If you want to rent the hashing, it is cheaper to rent it from the Nicehash. That could be 5 times cheaper.

mining on two sites atm

one with CPU's

http://zcash.flypool.org/ I can't GPU mine here yet the AMD miner they link for windows crashes with in second and i can't find another windows based software miner that works on  that site and Bash on Ubuntu on Windows is a bitch to set up and i get bored tiring to get the AMD drivers to install and not gonna box all my PC with Ubuntu. I like windows to much .

the other site GPU mining


http://coinsforall.io   mining here only  because there software miner  only works on there site, i tried with zcash.flypool in the conf,  it won't connect .


gonna check out super nova next

don't care much for nicehash .

I had exactly the same experience on zcash.flypool.org. miner crashes within a second.
What a bummer.
will try suprnova once they have t-addresses working (right now crashes on suprnova as well)
what platform is AMD (1?)

I got all my ETH gear up and running on ZEC since it went live.

I am mining at http://zcash.nicehash.com/

13 x 480 8GB
6 x 470 4GB

~340s/s

Mining to my polo ZEC adress, i hope that works well.
A windows wallet would be good  ::)

in that software for AMD no idea yet i wish it worked I'm  gonna like zcash.flypool a lot probable as mush as i like ethermine.org one of there sister sites.

genoil.exe does nothing, but at least genoil-te-8.exe was able to activate GPU's, then quit.

If I mine zec to BTC address on nicehash, is there way to check worker and when does to pool transfer zec to btc, daily or as they mature?

Yeah genoil.exe just crashes on me. genoil-te-8.exe works great but it's not actually doing anything is it? After 30mins I still ad 0H/s on flypool, I couln't find any info on what those genoil-te-#.exe version really do. Currently using nicehash miner, 74Sols/s on 4x RX470s, 350W@wall...incredible! that's 200W less than ETH...

Immature balance of 0.00083744.  The hashing is holding steady now also and shares is increasing. Is there no way to bookmark the wallet so I do not have to keep entering my wallet address in to check my earnings?

Also can anyone tell me what the I/s stands for in the hash rate?

BTW I have 4 cores of my 8 core FX 8370 processor, 1 RX 480 8GB, 1 R9 380x 4GB, and 1 R9 280x 3GB card.

Is my sol's look proper for my configuration?

nheqminer_zcash -l usa -u <wallet_address> -t 4 -od 0 1 2

Did you flash rom or using original? It seems NH miner works with original bios but not with modded ones, at least for my 480s. Can't get my modded 470s to work with NH miner, getting no OCL error.

This whole thing is a disaster

Miners suck, crashing all the time or incompatible with newer OS.
Zcashd getting errors and crashing
Pools can't keep their software working right

The only good thing so far is the crazy price, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone spends $1000 on some zcash that it gets lost on the way to their wallet.

Not only this, but trying to connect to zcash messed up my ethereum mining for several hours, even on rigs that were not connected to zcash.
Either it was just me, or the whole ethermine pool went down.

All My 470s are modded with voltage offset, they do 28.5/6 on ETH for about 115W/card. I only do voltage offset with hex editor. NH has been rock solid for hours now.

 Haven't tried it on any AMD rigs yet, as all of my AMD rigs are LINUX.
 The "nicehash" miner they posted works fine on 3 NVidia rigs I've tried it on though (dual 950 rig, dual 960 + 1 950, and a short period to do some testing on a single 1070 in a rig I was building up tonight).
 All Win 7, Nvidia driver version 472.90 IIRC (NOT the most recent one, that one has MAJOR issues with some stuff I've tried it on so I ended up rolling back to a KNOWN working version).


 950 and 960s are both pulling very close to 10 sol/s, 1070 was pulling ballpark 30, all with right about the same to a hair lower power consumption vs. Ethereum mining.


 ethmine.org went down for about 10 hours - POOL stats showed that, wasn't just you.

[b]WTH is wrong hahah  ???[/b]

I am running nicehash with
1 x 7950
4 x 280x

Im only getting 30 sol is there anything I can do to tweak or trouble shoot it


my code is as follows

nheqminer_zcash -l usa -u t2UNzUUx8mWBCRYPRezvA363EYXyEpHokyi -t 0 -od 0 1 2 3 4

You should get at least 50sols/s

Just realized the NH miner stopped using one of my cards. It continues mining, but dropped to 55S/s. Relaunching the miner gets the card going again. Weird. Also the NH miner throws so much output in the console it's barely readable.

I think zcash is in need of a proper mining software...maybe Claymore is on something? I'm not a huge fan of mining with dev fees, but I have to admit his miner always works great...

any ideas?

because i can't put all my GPUs on one pool with the CPUs . i was force to mine on Nice hash till they fix that crash in this miner https://github.com/Genoil/ZECMiner/tree/master/releases for AMD cards on windows once it's fixed that miner can mine on any pool with windows or you can run a Linux box and use this one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1661160.0  i think it works on any pool .


my sol is at 100 or a little less  with 3 470  two r7 370 and one 280 and using two 8 core cpus at 6 cores . i have two 4 core CPU i need to ad better cooling to or  id be using them at 2 or 3 cores , cheap cooling on them .

@ Searing i should have listen to you to start with at least at  nicehash I can put all my CPUs and GPUs on one pool with one miner and not worry to much about bad pay outs or is the site adding it up right , i believe  zcash.flypool.org would but no working miners like nicehash has so it's nice hash for at least the next three or four days,let them sell it for me and credit my btc address , I'm not even gonna use nicehashes pool that pays out with ZEC , if i want a peace of the PIE .


Turn  a few cores on, i did a -h to see what helps or use overclocking software but that doesn't seem to do to much but does help some, ID say turn on some cores if your CPU can handle it and has good cooling , MY AMD 8 core  is set to use 6 cores with a R7 370 im doing close to 20 sol with  6 cores on, i was doing 9 to 10 sols with the GPU by it self. .

even the APU's cpu coers can jack it up a little, i found out but i have a really bad cooler on it so using two cores makes it over heat to much but did give that GPU a nice boost, i don't mean the APU video part .


if I read and understand how it works,I'm doing 19 sols  

 Speed [300 sec]: 10.6867 I/s, 19.91 Sols/s

i got two 750ti's and 5 cpu threads going.
im getting around 35 sols  at nicehash .
.0182btc a day...sweet!  that aint gonna last but you know im gonna ride this puppy out.. lol

Hey guys anyone having trouble with mining or payouts can try buying hashrate at genesis mining. I got 0.00011433 ZEC payout for 0.85 h/s. Its not bad. At current BTC & ZEC rate, that payout will ROI you in 90 days.

hashrate is available now from 0.6 h/s for $29. you can also use my promo code to get 3% off. Promo code is in my sig. thanks

Also if any of you are using nicehash to mine, please use my referral. thanks :)

I myself couldn't get nicehash miner working :( , currently mining with CPU on suprnova.

finally got my rigs running on suprnova

my desktop has 8320 @ 6 cores + a 7950 gives me 21.xx-23.xx Sols/s
another rig with 4x7970 gives me 37.xxSols/s

using 7 cores on my desktop cpu will gain another 3.xx Sols/s but the CPU fan will get louder

Still have another 2x7950 need to put the rig up and generate some heat for the winter :D

Well, I spent 6-8 hours switching my ETH miners to ZEC.   Tried 3 miners before I got one working.

I thru 10 RX470's at NiceHash for 24 hours, getting about 150S/s, in between server crashes and the high payout threshold I got about 0.012 ZEC.  But I had to use three ZEC addresses, none of which meet the threshold so it will be 12.7 hours until I can cash out my fortune.

Which at current market price is about 14 Fookin dollars. ::)

Nicehash just released a new miner that can be used with any pool. If you are using nicehash do use my referral. thanks :)

IM using

genoil-zec .041 on

my three rx470 work great at stock around 25 to 28 sols

I put all mine back to  molded bios they do  30 to 35 sols .


it's not working on any thing below the 400 series but it looks like it being fixed .

 Looks suspiciously like the same version http://zcash.flypool.org/ came up with - which was modified from the nicehash code which "borrowed" from previous code.

 Lotta "incest" going on in the ZCash miner world right now - optimally leading to a good high-performance works on all miner for a change!

I´m mining ZEC in two ways:

1) I bought hashpower at Genesis Mining: 3 H/s for 145$. I bought it last thursday when ZEC was launching, but that was a little bit too late. So mining at Genesis has only started today. I have no idea, how much ZEC I will get for that hashrate...  ??? and looking forward for my first payment.

2) I also mine with my old Macbook pro (2010 modell).  I´m poolmining (CPU) at zmine.io with a hashrate of only 1 Sol/s  :o That´s not really much... So far I´ve earned 0.00003649 ZEC  :(

Is there a way, to mine with GPU on my Macbook? Will I get a bigger Hashrate with GPU?

my r9 270x cards only get about 7sol/s each, and are a bit more profitable under ethereum. but from the 4xx card results i would have expected more like 10-15sol/ea

Try genoil-zec-miner-0.4.2.zip https://github.com/Genoil/ZECMiner/tree/master/releases it did wonders for my  r9 280 it was doing 9 h aka sols i used it . it now does 30 h aka sols.

Lets say that I want to start from scratch to go and buy a system that could mine me the best zcash.

The specs will be?

Ram: ?????
MotherBoard: ?????
CPU: ??????
GPU: ???????
Hard drive: I know could be at least 500GB(latest model)

And is there any official software/miner that I could install and only need to set username, password, zcash address and all good to go?

Seems like anyone developing any coin forgets to spend some time to make the mining process as easy as registering on a site :)

I think only the developers should build miners and wallets for all operating systems to avoid any trojan and malware being introduced for a coin that could potentially destroy the trust people need to have to get involved in any crypto project.

Mining on my old laptop cpu i7-720QM using only 3 threads of 8 the speed is about 3,1 sol/s pic (https://postimg.org/image/y26qpuxpf).

Is there anything out yet for CPU or GPU Zcash mining on Windows 32bit?
Thanks..

you're right. now im getting ~22Sol/s per 270x card (undervolted)

Start here maybe build your own system with there parts builder which i use from time to time to get a gen idea on prices and what i need then i go shopping were i live .

http://pcpartpicker.com/


nicehash bot miner does and takes less to use just enter inter your BTC address if you want it to pay in BTC or Zcash address i think it pays out in Zcash now .

https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=nhmintro you can set it to mine one coin or all it supports  but it only works on the pools they support and run.

 No and I have some doubts there will be.
 Unfortunately.


 Given how unstable the ZCash mining situation is right now, I wouldn't even think of trying to build an "optimal ZCash miner machine" - could very easily be a new "more optimised" miner show up the next week or even next DAY that works a ton better for the other side of the Red/Green debate and throws ALL calculations of optimal off.

I was wondering what a single 1070 can do on Zcash. I have CPU and GPU both on mine doing 43 Sol/s

My 1070 is a good overclocker but I suppose my i7-970 CPU is pulling anywhere from 10-13 Sol/s

my pair of 1070 cards are both getting about 31-33Sol/s each

Got a buddy running 290's he is getting 100mh on a rig of 5 of them ...we did not have much luck with i think he said 270x 3gb cards

Anyway I decided to get a rig so for about 2k complete .this will either work well or badly ...newegg should have the stuff here monday so wens at latest it should be up

Figure even if ZEC crashes and burns in an epic pump then dump at worst I'll go back late in the
game on ETC and maybe salvage  1000 bucks back from it all before doorstop. I have NO real
decent desktop for 10 years ...so keeping and selling extra cards (5 card rig) MAYBE it it all goes
pearshaped and ETH moves on to POS etc etc .ie doorstop I may be 500 to 750 usd down on this 'gamble'

but currently I'm betting it at least has enough legs that at worse it will go to NO? lower then LTC which is 0.0006 LTC to BTC if so I can string this along at that rate it is gonna be no more a gamble then an A4 asic with 1 year warranty on parts GPU vs 45 days on an A4 or same price (if you could find them) on a used 'supposely' at least 300mh Titan....(glad i passed on that A4) :)

Real issue is as you say 1) know your cards work ...even so we are gonna only try 1 card of this
on a rig if it works then open others if not the 1 opened card and rest go back to newegg on 30 day
replace and call it an 'ooops'

2) now wens of next week..after supposedly getting my rig up (buddy got another identical)....if next week is STILL as nuts...and making the BIG assumption you could even find workable GPU's will I build a 2nd rig on my 'guess/bet" at that point and continue slugging down the 'kool aid' with the other folks on the ZEC float parade?(I'm weak willed I am) :( Chinese curse" "may you live in interesting times" indeed :)

fun times.............damn every Xmas since 2013 the damn crypto 'kool aid' keeps getting stronger and better :)

Can u share some details ?
I'm stuck around 25 sols with 470 4Gb, stock bios, stock frequencies

 Mine are getting a bit less than that but I'm running them at stock clocks for the most part, they DO seem to respond positively to bumping the memory clockspeeds up but I've not gotten series about tuning them yet.

Switched my old workhorse I built for mining. MSI 7850 hD 2GB on motherboard sharing vid with mining ( Intensity turned down to 15) and one - R9 270X 2 gb and Two MSI R9 270X 4GB on risers all running Intensity 20.

Windows 7 - 64 bit, MSI 970 -G46 with AMD X3 455,  8 GB Ram ,  15.12 amd drivers.
Running Claymore's first zcash miner on flypool

GPU 0 30.9
GPU 1 35.44
GPU 2  34.79
GPU 3  24.4
total 125.59

drops as low as 121~124 but temps are good, everything box stock, never over clocked or under volted and for what I have invested I'm pretty happy.

The HD 7850 was part of five I used to have and had sold off 4. The R9s were bought used.  May tinker with it when I get a chance. Originally rigged out for Ethereum but had been switched off.

Be aware that there is a 2.5% miner fee built-in to Claymore's miner. Although it works supremely well on old AMD cards.

For the time being, you can use the Claymore miner as it is the fastest open usage miner. The fee is OK.
