Do you perhaps have any experience how this nheqminer compares to the zcashminer used for this pool? I used an older version previously, but I believe I lost half a day of hashing due to another pool being hardcoded in the software.

Interesting, I might go ahead and give this a try. After all, the weekend is coming up
Thanks for the tip Doktor83

The ICO hasn't launched yet, but in two weeks, the 18th of November, it is planned to start. The team is waiting for some final legislation work for being a company registered in Switzerland. Once complete, the ICO is good to go.


Not sure, but keep your signature just in case. The team has been generous in terms of Eggs so far, so maybe they will prolong the campaign until the ICO is over?


The collected Eggs will allow you to receive Wing tokens as a part of the bounty program. Eggs themselves will be pretty much worthless, but may allow you to swap them for Wing tokens later on.

1.5 million Wing tokens are reserved for the bounty program. Your final share of the tokens will be calculated once all bounties (Eggs) have been paid out and those users claim their share of Wing tokens.

Thanks eXtremal, seems to be working just fine on my Win7 box. Appreciate your efforts!

It might be a useful resource for users, especially for those who can't setup a Zcash wallet in Linux.
That said, you do understand that few people would want to keep their tokens in a web wallet that they do not control? Why should I trust you with my Zcash coins?

As for the coding experience, it probably is a useful project and you get to familiarize with the zcash daemon rpc calls and so.

Just saw the video on my commute this morning. A good watch and help explain something that all Dashers should know!

Right now we don't know this conversion, other than the more eggs you have, the more Wings tokens you can swap them for. But to my knowledge, the exchange rate has not yet been officially announced by the Wings-team.

OK I understand you. Donating as in investing although not investing due to regulatory terms. Yes, in that sense a successful crowdfunding/donating would definitely lead to interesting features for the Wings project.

Why should they? Isn't this what the ICO is for?

Sounds really good bizzyb, can't wait to start the beta testing!
I do assume that there will be clients for Linux/OSX/Windows? Any plans for docker images or virtual machine appliances as well?
I am not sure, but can the client/daemon run well under FreeBSD? There used to be build instructions for Unix, although I don't know if they are valid or just a leftover template from the BTC repository.

You could try, but in general, any kind of mining on a laptop is a bad idea. They are not built for long term cpu-crunching and can be damaged due to overheating.
If you would like to try for the learning experience, sure go right ahead and try mining for a half an hour. The macbook will not survive a long term mining though and the components or motherboard could get damaged.

I'm glad to hear that a settlement was made to keep the pool running! Maybe we can suggest some new features to the pool? I read you guys were looking into a better block explorer, that would be nice. Maybe a comparison for stats between the pool and the network? That is hashtate of the pool vs MUE network, how about email notification if a miner goes offline?

I'm sure others have suggestions and feature requests so I though to post here, and others may add to the discussion.

Great news eXtremal, sounds good, I'm sure many will continue to mine on the pool with these new settings.

@issie81 From what I have read, the genesis block should be done and the wallet(s) compiled. The launch will wait until the zcash devs get up in the morning, whatever time zone is in the San Francisco area.

Unless the ambient temp in the room drastically goes up, the miner stays cool and rarely goes up more than a degree or two. It runs really stable in terms of hashrate, fanspeed and temperatures. Quite frankly, it is a really great little miner.

I saw that the 0.2X branch launches two instances of the miner. Is the idea to have one instance per card? So if I only have 1 card, I need to change this setting in the config?

Edit: Tried running with one and two instances, but I didn't see any larger speed differences. Creating a new .bin every test still yielded about 16.x sols for both trials.

Rest assure that companies like Genesis-Mining are likely to start mining with thousands of GPUs on Zcash at launch, and perhaps ramp up once the payouts get greater. This is just my speculation, I have no knowledge whatsoever if this will actually happen or not.

Thanks a bunch tutorialevideo, I just downloaded it and will give it a try. Kudos!

Are you others able to download the 2.1 package from Dropbox? For some reason I only get a download failed time and time again.
I have the version 1 running OK on Ubuntu 16.04 with the AMDGPU-pro drivers. I was getting 15 sol with 1x R9 290 card and was looking to try the updated miner.

Just relax and wait for the launch. Then clients will be available for end users and exchanges. I don't know about Windows wallets, but I'm sure you could mine to an exchange wallet for your account. You would need to have a minimal amount in your account before you can start selling and trading.

Only Linux based systems from what I saw on Github. Ubuntu/Debian and Fedora.
