The plan is to encourage miners to mine ZEC in our pool by 0% fee mining. We intent to keep it as long as it is safe. As you probably know in a along run 0% PPS pool almost always gets bankrupt. So it is a matter of hashrate vs our resources  We are constantly monitoring PPS stats, pool's luck etc. After this promotional period we plan to keep PPS mode and introduce exactly the same fees as in LTC pool, unless ZEC mining turns out to have higher risk level. Well I have mined two days zec and got value as one day mining ... so I am not encouraged to mine this currency and maybe never will be back even with negative fee. did you select PPS for your worker ? So far my results are very good, better than any other pool I can see. PPLNS might be why, smaller hashrates get more variance. |

Oh Its too early for me. I got confused with xmr. I need a coffee.  |

Hey coinotron, quick question on zec mining. can you withdraw to an exchange with payment id ? In any case, keep up the good work !

Hey everyone! I'm new in the whole cryptocurrency thing, started this week in the whole "mining" stuff (ethereum). I recycled some old parts (mobo, cpu, ram, ssd) and bought 2 Sapphire RX470 4Gb Reference (and a EVGA 700B psu)... From the box both 470's started mining at 22.5 Mh/s (Claymore 4.7, only eth), one has hynix memory and the other has elpida. I followed the normal procedure to "strap" the timings (copying 1500 timing) and now the hynix 470 is mining at 27.5 Mh/s (not bad IMO) and the elpida is stuck at 24.5 Mh, not bad either (after moderate OC with Trixx: 1100 GPU, 1925 mem, 63ºC and 73% fan speed).
My question: Do you think it is worth the risk to mod the elpida 470? I'm not so sure about the whole "hex and checksum" process and I've read about a lot of people crying over their dead gpu's... what should I do?
Hmm well you should try if that really interests you ! People have been changing the bios in GPU's since way before crypto mining was a thing. But for an easier way, check out my website, http://www.cryptominingtalk.com/flashing-bios/ , there is a link for the sapphire nitro 470 (with elpida) to a rom file with the 1500 mem straps. I get about 26.5-27 with it, without really overclocking the memory too much. |

its true. I guess its the high pitch of the antminers that was the worst.

70 DB is not too bad its about the same as a conversation, i would of expected a little higher to be honest!
holy fuck no, 70db is loud as hell ! |

Did you overclock that card? Why is your card's GPU temp so high despite of the 100% fan speed? Maybe the environment temperature is too high. god damn son 90c and 100%fan speed is only going to have one possible outcome. GPU death. incorrect data is probably due to not only thermal throttling, but thermal shutdown. i wonder what the vrm temps are. |

guys simple solution is just get a web monero wallet and mine to there, then transfer to the exchange. Or just wait til you get 5 xmr. most pools will have a high withdraw minimum if you mine directly to exchange. for example, https://mymonero.com/ |

If you have choice, use the 240V. It is about 2% more efficient.
give the guy a break, its a new channel. has like 126 views. |

PSU's mostly can run on 220v. its not a big difference to be honest, a few % better. the main thing would be how much you can run ! If you have 100amps in your home, and you run 110v, then with lets say 15a you can have 1440watts running safely. On 220v, you can have 15a running 2800watts. of course this takes more space in your breaker box. these calculations are off the top of my head, so do them yourself, but dont put more than 80% load on continuous power, and keep everything within building codes.

sp is waiting the open source to mod it it make sense, with nicehash and the ewbf he can't do anything
EWBF JUST RELEASED v0.0.5b-- And Optiminer plans a new release in a day or so. NiceHash has the smoothest running miner with EQM. I run EQM on nVidia and Optiminer on AMD. Optiminer has stability issues. --scryptr I'm an assembly programmer. Zcash is being harwested... soooo ya heard it here first I guess, huuuuuge pump incoming. small people controlling most of zcash means only one thing, manipulated markets. all aboard the merry go round (again) |

ebay is now and has been for a while, a big pile of garbage. Since they change top management anyways. funny how its actually safer and better to order off aliexpress/alibaba than from ebay...

damn those are high temps you people are talking about...my 390s are a cool 65c to 71c of course its -10c outside but hey |

Hmm, I'm building some new rigs using some low-end W10 desktops and I'm running into something I can't explain. Zecminer64.exe runs fine initially but the next time I start it up I get a Windows dialog "zecminer64 has stopped working". I do a complete W10 reset and then same thing: runs once or twice then never again. I have tried disabling all AV programs, checked Firewall settings, network settings, tried running in compatibility mode, numerous reboots, resets and restore points and then best I can do is get it to run fine once then never again. It's as if something deep in the system is flagging it somehow to prevent it from running even with no AVs running and no detections, etc. The only clue I have is that it always quits right after it prints "Total cards: x" and before is starts to connect with the pool.
I'm out of ideas, anyone else seen anything like this and found a solution? My best guess at this point is that these motherboards have some sort of low level protection against power draw or something even though I'm testing only 1 RX 480 at a time with waay more than enough external power.
did you set an exclusion with windows defender for the zecminer folder |

How to backup to Catalyst (Crimson) 15.12? I have 16.11.5. Overinstalling - no success.
Help please.
always use DDU to uninstall drivers |
|
|
|
yup, there is always something to mine with low electricity cost |
|
|
|
|
yeah but thats like 500w tdp no? whats it using on xmr ? still profit though.
|
|
|
|
well, sure you save money but not that much. go cost / effective. evga gold g2, gq or gs is good. its about 5 years warranty minimum mainly, and reliability. (also safety !). Good quality wires and connectors too. the whole package |

i need someone to build me a rig of 4 RX 480s 8 GB
i put a step by step rig building thingy on my website, go check it out, hope it helps. sure its overwhelming at first, but 100% sure you can do it. shameless plug, http://www.cryptominingtalk.com/crypto-rig-build/ |
