I'll add my voice to those that appreciate your efforts and hope you continue to develop, at your own pace of course. People tend to forget that even though the open source competition might be somewhat slower than the paid miners, without that competition the fees would be outlandish. Think 2.5% is bad try 25-50% if it were the only game in town. Anyway, here's o hoping you continue on.  |

is anyone experiencing any unpaid balance issues flycastpool not increasing for over an hour
Yes, same here, the Unpaid Balance display is not moving and no payments are being sent out. I think this miner or maybe more precisely the implementation of the mining algorithm is using parts of the rig that we did not previously have to worry about. I have several RX480 and RX470 rigs and they are all over the board from one another and I have yet to pin down the exact reason. Some rigs I can get close to 50 Sols/card (47-49) and others barely break the low 40's. Core and memory clocks seem to not work in the expected way, with lower clocks often meeting or beating higher clocked rates. I have noticed the modified BIOS 1500 or 1375 straps does seem to help. Also as some suggested, tightening the core and memory clocks to be closer together also seems to help some. I have found that cards directly in a PCIe x 16 slot do perform better than those on risers, but not by much. Also it seems a faster CPU in the rig is also helpful. |

I have submitted this to the forum mods. This thread should be locked until Claymore can answer some questions regarding MIT licensing. mrb clearly thinks his code has been infringed. I think, that 2.5% fee is enough also for other developers (mrb, genoil, nicehash) Wow, if true, yes indeed Claymore should be splitting the booty. |

Limit 2 for now, but I just placed an order and will check them out.

what about the power consumption? Has anyone checked it ?
Its less then ETH mining. Sure I noticed that, after switching from eth even fans are sometimes idle and it's much cooler in room. I mean genoil's miner was giving much less hashrate than this one, was wondering is there a difference between this two. I will able to check myself in a day or so and post here but if someone already checked I will sleep in peace Yep, same here, most of my fans hardly spin anymore now that I switched most of my rigs over to Zcash mining. I am going to have to buy more rigs to stay warm this Winter.  |

Its less then ETH mining. How many percent lower? My killawatt died . Couldn't measure. I would say a good 18-20% lower. On a 5 GPU rig I went from about 600 watts mining ETH to under 500 watts, both are using pretty much the using same settings (I did reduce Voltage offset a bit more in Watt Tool). These GPUs have the BIOS mod (1500 strap) and I am also using Watt Tool to reduce voltages when mining either ETH and Zcash. |

Claymore - you are CRAZY man!!! 38sol/s from old r7 370\2G!!!! I'm confused! GREAT!
I know, this is crazy. I just took all my R7 370's off eBay that now I feel I was giving away too cheaply. |

Give the guy a break with all the requests for payments, read through the older pages, we already had this discussion yesterday.
Findings:
1. Pool is not scam
2. Payouts arrive with a considerable delay, try to deal with that
3. Zcash code is full of bugs, wallet keeps crashing, main reason why pools are having difficulties handling everything
3. Read #3 again
4. Read #3 and #4 again
5. If you find a better AMD miner take it and go away
6. Quit bitching about intermittent pool availability and/or stales when at the same time you are demanding he fix things. You can not fix stuff without certain procedures taking the pool offline every once in awhile. 7. Try to be a bit more polite. The admin is obviously working very hard to improve things and some of the disrespectful, entitled attitudes I see on here are disgusting. |

@eXtremal It seems the payments from this morning (2016-10-29 06:56:53) need to be re-broadcast as they are not showing up on the network. I have two from this morning that are not showing up, but one much later that did come through. Also, it may be a known issue, but my total "Paid" in the "Your Account" section does not match up with the amounts the pool claims were sent out under "Your Payments" section. http://coinsforall.io/#!/coin/ZCASH/wallet/t1HwbhiZcJqLUAtaw5FvJwJ23zhjUQU3uhC Thanks for all of your hard work, some of us do appreciate all you are doing to get this up and going! |

can someone explain what he is trying to say??
TODO:
New version of pool without Z-address support. No payments to clients from Z-Address. No payments to client's Z-Addresses. All payment problems caused by new 'z' API which can't be used for pool. For anonymous transactions - OK, but not for pool. Will be released 1 Nov. You can continue mining here, or switch pool/miner and return later after launch non-Z version. Or leave this pool, if you think that it's scam.
He is saying there are currently wallet/network issues paying to Z addresses. He is going to create a new pool using T addresses only as those payout seem to work ok. If you want to continue to mine you and are currently using a Z address, you will need to switch it over to a new T address. |

Not that I doubt you, but what does that prove, that you sold some ZEC? A better screenshot would be of your Poloniex Deposit page overlaid on top of the payout screen from the pool to show the correlation between the two. |

I just want to also chime in and say Good Job eXtremal !
People this is day 1 and bugs are to be expected. This is the reason the slow start was implemented in the first place.
Not only has eXtremal provided a working miner, that is near the top in performance and runs on Windows with AMD cards, but he also has offered a working pool. Now the complaints and scams to me seems to be coming from the other end. Bitching and whining about fees too high or why he doesn't allow user to use his miner for free on other pools seems to point the fingers right back to those complaining loudest.

Ok, so whats the final verdict?
which gpu's or cpu's?
Want to start buying.
Defeninatly buy GPUs , I just tried a high end I7 6800 cpu with 12 cores and 32gb of ram and it only gets 16 sols (using the nicehash miner) vs a rx 470 that gets 17 sols I heard there is a better CPU miner though I'd agree with buying GPUs at this point. While improvements have been made in CPU performance, I think there is a lot more room for improvements to be made on the GPU side of things. Also you can have the best of both worlds. By running that 12 core CPU of yours on a 6-7 GPU rig, you can use 8-10 of those cores for dedicated mining and leave the other 2-4 cores idle to process the GPU parts. |

That awesome to know you would consider it.
Zcash has a slow start from 0-full coin rewards over 100 days so there is no rush.
100 days?  ?? Dude its 30 days. It's technically 20,000 blocks, which according to the 2.5 minute/block specification should take roughly 34 days. However, with the initial hash-rate projected to be very high, block generation times will probably be greatly condensed making the slow start last anywhere from 21-30 days. |

Is any way to get an address without installing Ubuntu, compiling wallet etc?
For testing you can just use the address in the config file (that's what I and it looks like a lot of others are doing) but for mainnet launch you will need your own address. Depends on if an exchange trades on day 1 or not if you can use that for an address, but it is probably worth your while to download and compile your own wallet. Remember this is launching with a slow-start, so even if you get in a few days later you will not be missing out on a lot of coins as that was pretty much the intention to give everyone time to get kinks worked out etc. before full block mining appears. I am sure within a week or so there will be Windows wallets available and maybe even sooner you will have exchanges with addresses you can mine to. |

MSI RX470 x2 (1050 core/1850 mem)
Share accepted.
[GPU 0] T=-1C A=-1% sols=16.513
[GPU 1] T=-1C A=-1% sols=16.378
(ST/INV/DUP): 18x 0ch(0/0/0)
Haven't experimented too much with changing the clock speeds yet, I just used default settings from my ETH mining, so switching between the two coins is pretty much effortless. The pleasant surprise was this "test" rig was drawing ~290 watts at-the-wall while mining ETH and this has dropped to 199 watts mining ZCash. This suggests the ability to potentially push the clocks higher with this algorithm.
A little update. I have been playing around a bit more, it crashed immediately (console windows closes) if I push the memory clocks much more. However, it loves the core clock increases. I got my core set at 1300 MHz now, or 50 MHz past default, and I am cranking along at: Work received: height=1301 diff=8694.1578 latency=156ms [GPU 0] T=-1C A=-1% sols=18.712 [GPU 1] T=-1C A=-1% sols=18.068 I also tried adjusting the worksize and threads a bit as well and it seemed to have a slight improvement moving the worksize down to 192 and increasing threads to 11264, but not enough difference to be definitive yet. |
