I'm wondering why you are all rushing to mine ZCash. It find it less profitable than Ethereum. Moreover Flypool is abosultely not giving me what I should get.
I am at Nicehash mining ZEC for BTC. ~25% lower powerdraw than ETH I am doing more profits from ZEC on a daily basis for sure. How the hell is it possible ? Both Whattomine and NiceHash calculator give me Ethereum a lot more profitable. There would even be a 3$ gap for me between them. That might be related to my configuration, but in my case Ethereum is a lot more profitable. I'd go for NiceHash given the pain it would save me, but considering that it doesn't work on my Nvidia rig, I had to ignore that option. |

Don't use your mining pcs. For anything but mining
Why ? The mining PC, as described only mine. They store nothing valuable and if they're compromised, that's not a big deal. Just reset it or let it go, since it won't be able to do anything. |

Electric Cost = $0.12 cents per KW
12 c / kwh is getting into *OUCH* range on electric cost. The entire reason I moved last summer was that I considered 7.5-8c/kwh 9 months 14plus the other 3 months was way too high. ETH is probably getting hammered because of the "2'nd and 3'd hard fork" issue, which are happening to cure the long-running issue with attacks overloading the network but some folks think any fork is a bad thing. Even with that, *for me* ETH has been more profitable the last few days, abet it's close. My electricity cost is basically "fixed" right now, but I'm in a rather odd situation for at least the next few months - but even if it wasn't, my electric cost is low enough I doubt that the power savings ZEC has would make up for the lower income *IN MY CASE* Don't take anyone's word for it, crunch the numbers yourself because they DO vary. I'm personnally mining at 0,18$/kWh, and that's still profitable. Of course says goodbye to 290 and such, but with RX 470, a little with R9 380 and 1070, I find a way to be profitable. |

The solution was finally -i 0. This command is a blessing ! A lot better than my old -i 1 (that I put for no particular reason). 9 hours that I put it and I've been constantly over my 24 hours average. Moreover, it seems I've gained 10 H/s. All is good in brief  ! About the virtual memory, what does it bring ? I've never applied it and I was always fine. And with less than 1 Gb free, I doubt I'll do that much. |

Sorry to be kinda off-topic, but here are the friendliest group of persons on the forum regarding mining. I have some problem with ZCash, since the very beggining : I've always been under profitable. While 215 H/s is written on the screen, Flypool reports me only a 24 hours average of about 185 H/s. Moreover, while the calculator says me that I should mine barely 0,04 ZEC a day, I just closed the actual day with 0,029 ZEC mined. I agree that the difficulty might be risibng or something, but 25% less is quite alarming. Does one has the answer to that problem or an idea from where it does come from ?
I have also an other problem, only with ZCash : my shares don't get validated. I have walls of SHARE FOUND (40 consecutive for now) but slightly less accepted shares. Any clue about it ?
Edit : they just all got rejected, except 4, so 10% of them.
the two problems may be related I am doing some checking maybe you can tell me your: mobo windows ? or linux ? your cpu? your ram ? your hdd or ssd? I have four mobos and 1 seems to do what yours does. ASRock H81 Pro BTC Windows 7 64 Bits G1840 8Gb SSD 32Go For citronick, I'm using Claymore miner V4. Maybe it does come from the -t 1 I set ? I'll try to remove it just now. |

hmmm... interesting points about Intel potentially impacting the price of ZEC to promote higher CPU sales. Certainly it is possible but AMD & NVidia would benefit much more from pumping ZEC right? Because most Intel CPUs will only provide about 50% hash-rate vs just 1 high end GPU... and you can of course build a rig with 4-6 GPUs, so the effective impact of the CPU on a mining rig for ZEC is only about 10% of the overall hash-rate. Still, I do think Intel could benefit from pumping/buying ZEC... I doubt AMD can afford to do much but maybe NVidia can afford to impact it a bit.
Well for now I have hash on ETH and ZEC. I sell my ETH and I am now holding my ZEC Interesting to hear that from you Phil. I'm doing the exact inverse, by auto-selling my ZEC and holding my ETH. May I have the reasons of such a choice ? well look at the market caps https://coinmarketcap.com/ Coin Name Total Value ------------ Coin price ------- Coins in Circ.....................Trading Volume 1 Bitcoin Bitcoin $11,567,723,856------ $724.46 ------- 15,967,308 ---- BTC $134,017,000 2.06% 2 Ethereum Ethereum $ 916,200,716--------------$10.68 ---- 85,800,241-------- ETH $ 14,541,600 -1.94% 40 Zcash Zcash $4,530,727------------------- $257.44--------- 17,599--------- ZEC -------$4,597,940 17.28% So If I am mining Zec with the coin at $257 how much does it take to boost it to $1000 maybe buying a few thousand coins . check the cap of 4.53 mill vs the volume of 4.59 million check eth cap of 916 mill vs volume of 14.54 mill Zec will be driven up in price at least 1 or 2 more times. Now I have 160H at zec and 400mh at eth and I fully sell my eth as it is not rare. Just a guess remember I thought Hillary was a lock.  Interesting point of view, but here's how I see it : Ethereum is in a dip, so it can grow back. ZCash just profited from a last attempt to make price rise before sinking forever. It already had its recurrent pump. The marketcap of such a young coin (12 days !) isn't very revelant. The number of coins emission rate per day could be close to 2 or 3%, but surely more (I don't know th exact number, that's just the be sure that what I say is true, since going lower than 2% would be nonsense  ). However, I might be totally wrong, so don't listen to me, nor anyone. The last time I made money was with Ethereum during the Great Pump, and I was very lukcy, because even selling at a price and buying back a few hours later at a loss, I won significant amount of money that permitted me to buy my little mining rigs . okay I am a bit tired had a long two days. but what is hash power on Zec? and what is hashpower on eth? I will look. https://etherscan.io/charts/hashrateI will get back to this but almost 8k was max it dropped to 4k and now is back to 5k I will break that down to 25mh gpus later tonight  So 40 gpu = 1 gh 40000 gpu = 1k gh 160000 gpu = 4k gh So about 160000 gpu left eth and went to Zec And then some came back. So let's say 120000 gpu are doing Zec at 200 bucks a gpu that is 24,000,000 usd and coins are worth 6,000,000 Not to mention say 20,000 CPUs more like 100,000 CPUs. So say 200 a CPU that is 4,000,000 to 20,000,000 Worth of CPUs . And Zec coins are worth only six million. So eth maybe 40 million in gear mining with a market cap of 900 million plus. So Zec maybe 28 - 44 million in gear mining with a market cap of 6 million . AMD Nvidia Intel are worth over 70 billion. They would love to see Zec coin do well. Look at how much gear is mining Zec look at how low market cap is. They will feed money into Zec buying at exchanges. I see 500 usd to 800 usd possible . Well, what you're saying is very intelligent, I never thought that way. That may be intelligent then to save, but with people with little rigs like me (210 H/s), taking a drop of value would kill like a week of mining and would not be very good for my monthly balance. What I'll do is maybe to dedicate a R9 380 to mining ZCash to my Poloniex account, since the other ones are mining to my Bittrex account, with auto-sell enabled. |

Very nice setup. I wish I'll soon reach that point  ! But why are you placing a GPU on the motherboard ? You're loosing one slot that way. |

My I5 only push like 8h but my I7 at job pulls 18h-20h what model numbers and speeds are the cpus? my i5 3570k @4.4 ghz pulls a bit over 19 sol/s. on zec with nicehash miner. seems your numbers are low. or are you talking about another coin youre mining? If I remember correctly, 1 hash = 2 sols, so his numbers might sound correct in Sols/s, with 16 and about 40. |

Hello
I'am planning on buying R7 370 this day but i want to know if how much sol/s will i get?
if i buy r7 370
here will be my specs
i5 4590
4gb ram
r7 370
my gtx 750 1gb and i5 sol/s is ranging form 16-19sol/s
i just want to know how much difference if i cahng my gtx 750 to r7 370
tahnks!
Why do you want to buy an R7 370 ? It's pretty useless unless you take it in 4Gb version, but if you do so, you better take an RX 470 because of the price. |

I'd like to get some help. Since Coinmine is a real pain, I switched to Flypool. This is weird. First, I see only one miner, and in spite of the fact I've submited dozens of shares, it still shows zero, and the amount I have isn't raising. Any clue about my problems  ? Edit : my amount moved, shares too, but still one worker. The reason is maybe because Flypool's miner is giving me no shares, maybe because of an insane difficulty ? CPU miner or gpu miner? Nvidia GPU miner (AMD rig has no problem with Claymore). I tested with the CPU and it doesn't work too. The problem is definitively the absence of shares. Using Flypool's nheqminer. |

I don't get your point. Why doesn't you simply connect it to your screen using an HDMI cable ?

I reistalled win 10 until I use ETHOS.
I tried to install Crimson 15.12 like Claymore say ... I don't have the video option in the list ?
Anyone had that issue ?
Should I just install 16.9.2 ?
What are your graphic cards ? Because even if Claymore said to use 15.12, he also said to use the latest ones for some cards. |

I just did it. So far, I'm reporting 105 Sol/s for my rig composed of one 380 and two 470. I might improve it, but I have not the time now, pretty tired. I'll post it here if something changed.
clayyyyyyyy moreeeee
thank you.
and you are about to get rich.
2.5% damn!
still worth it.
agree 100% on both statements! Phil, which CPU miner are you using for ZEC? I tried to use nicehash at the same time as Claymore GPU ZEC and it first knocked 25% off my Claymore rates, then crashed my system. Looking for a solution to put my 6800k to use on ZEC that doesnt impact Claymore. Maybe just tell it to run with three threads ? That might be the solution. |

The best, if you choose to stay within the AMD group, will be the RX 480 within the one you mentionned. For me, tha allstar card is the RX 470.
