Hey guys - came across this project and really interested in it. Was watching Silvana at Bells Beach earlier this month, actually.

I'll likely set up a masternode or two as well. Will be following this one closely. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the explanation - will increase the pagefile as suggested 🙂👍

Hey - thanks for putting this together. Trying to get it to work with my rigs and it seems to fail after using 4 or 5 cards.

One of my rigs is 7x ASUS Dual GTX 1070s
Other is 6x Gigabyte GTX 1070s

Both have only 4GB RAM... is this potentially an issue?

I regularly get out of memory issues. I have tried running two instances pointing at different devices. I have also used the -c 2 option on the high priority miner. I have also increased the pagefile size to 32000 - but not really getting much love here.

So, anyone with any advice or next steps I can take to test? Or is this an issue with the fact that I need more RAM on my machines to use this miner?

I have been using zergpool to mine VIVO and notice on my stats page that I have also been mining Sigil. Any reason for this?

With altminer apparently down, is there a recommendation for a best alternative pool to mine VIVO?

150% growth in three days is a spike.

Anyone have any idea what today's price spike can be attributed to?

And, happy new year everyone!

Quoting again in the hopes a dev will answer.

I've got a few questions:

1. Why the lack of transparency about funds? Usually the smart contract is totally visible to ensure the figure started on the website is accurate. It's not really gone up much in the last 24 hours despite a large surge in Bitcoin and overall market cap.

2. The website states that tokens are burned forever during every transaction, which will create constant demand. It also says "Technical limitation of number of tokens:300 000 000" which sounds very little if they're getting destroyed on every transaction. It sounds like the system would run out of tokens very quickly. What happens in this situation?

I have not used Claymore in a few months, and have made some adjustments to my rigs in that time.

I am running it perfectly on my 6x GTX 1070 in dual Ubiq & SIA. When I try run on my other rig, which is 7x GTX 1070 though, I get about 5 minutes or so before it crashes with an error:

GpuMiner cu+k01 failed 73, an illegal instruction was encountered

I have turned the overclocking to pretty modest settings to see if it is that, but it should be just fine.

Anyone seen the above and know how to address it?

What is the best driver, CUDA version and so on for mining with NVIDIA cards, particularly the GTX 1070? I am running CUDA 7.5 and the GeForce 372.54 drivers.

Hey - newcomer here. I am sure this has been asked a lot but 77 pages is a bit much to trawl through for one question:


The wallet says that it is recommended we use a new receiving address for each transaction. However, to mine with this approach seems unfeasible. How are people approaching this at the moment?

Just use an address and not worry too much, maybe change it up every now and then?

Are you doing anything to protect against bots? There are a lot of bounty scammers here that will do anything for these kinds of rewards, including insane amounts of fake Twitter accounts. Just watch out - you might be spending a lot of BTCZ for close to zero actual value.

Any chance we can see some of the human beings behind this project, to instill a little trust for something that on the surface looks very, very questionable?

Can you offer anything to add legitimacy to the project?

There are no bounties on BTCZ.

Maybe the OP could state this in big red letters, as a number of people come to the thread/Slack/Discord channels enquiring about this.

I'd recommend adding Cliff on Crypto:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7aZpep7PnlRcvljRRwh0Gw

7.7k subscribers. Is a dev and been in the mining space for some time. Good also for reaching the South African audience.

So I had an idea for BitcoinZ and I will crosspost this on Slack/forum:

What about an optional means of linking your wallet address to an easy wallet name. The addresses could be stored on the blockchain somehow as well and only the owner of the wallet can change the 'easy name'.
What you do is send 1BTCZ to a wallet address, including a memo. The memo is the name you want your wallet to have. The send-to address is the dev donation address.
You will be protected from someone else using your name because only someone with your private key will be able to have sent in the first place.

The goal is to make sending very easy and simple for those who aren't worried about privacy/anonymity. I can have my private BTCZ wallet if I want (fully anonymous etc), and I can have one with an easy name. So for instance I just lock in 'BadAstroZA' by sending 1BTC to the devs, and any time in future I want a BTCZ payment, that's all I need to provide. It can also be an email address, or any string of valid characters supported by the memo.

This will reduce the need for a cumbersome long wallet address/QR code if not convenient. Are there any cryptocurrencies that offer something like this? It's the same as sending BTC/ETH/LTC to someone's email address if they have a coinbase account, for instance. I think anything that simplifies use and reduces barriers to widespread adoption can only be a good thing.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks realhellomoto. How do we upgrade? Just download and install?

Any cautionary steps to take, or wallet backups etc?

Haha, ef4f and I have different attitudes towards catching up on long threads.

Yep, the OP has all the pertinent info and links you need. Plus the Slack channel is very active. No need to catch up on all 76 pages, but yes, it's mineable and getting more and more attention.


Yes exactly that! How can we get others such as http://pcmining.xyz:8080/ on that list?

And this is a good thing. A lot of people are donating time and money to make this project a success. I'd rather see the activities that are usually handed over to bounty campaigns being taken up by people who want to see the project succeed rather than hop on for a quick buck.




Is there any service/app online where we can view all of the pools and have it display the number of workers, total hash rate of all the pools etc in comparison?

Again I just want to reiterate that creating so many pools is not helping BitcoinZ at this time. Those small pools with tiny hashrate are very unlikely to get a block. Let's say your dev donation is 2%... 2% of no blocks is still zero. You'd be better off mining on suprnova and manually donating to the devs, if donation is what you care about.

I think it much better if the community at this time votes on a single pool to all join to compete with suprnova. Otherwise it's just not going to do you any good starting more small pools that have a fraction of the suprnova hash rate.
