Title: Mining ZCash with Nvidia
Post by: tomduk on June 24, 2017, 09:07:17 PM
Hi,

Just a quick one,

Looking at nanopool, the claymore miner for zcash has AMD next to it in brackets?

Can I still use this to mine ZEC with my NVIDIA cards?

Or is there a better mining client to run on Windows for ZEC and Nvidia?

Thanks

Use EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1707546.0, I believe you can also use it for other Equihash coins but not sure.
Make sure you have the latest drivers, you may or may not have to also install the CUDA toolkit here: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads, try it first should any problems occur before troubleshooting anything else.

Brilliant thank you.

I'm just looking at my options as just started on ETH at 180MHs but the price has dropped a lot of late and sceptical if it's going to go back up.
