Updated CPU miners for Zcash anyone?

[K1lo]

Hey all,

I still CPU mine Zcash with a couple of machines and am wondering if there are any more optimised CPU miners that have released in the last few days? I'm still running nheqminer v. 0.3a.

What with the crazy jumps in performance Claymore has been cranking out of his GPU miner, I'm wondering if there are any better CPU miner releases I may have missed in recent days?

Thanks

Hi,

nheqminer V0.4b

https://github.com/nicehash/nheqminer/releases/download/0.4b/nheqminer_v0.4b.zip

0.4b is the newest, CPU mining compared to GPU mining isn't even worth it anymore.

well  my pcs vary.  one uses 33 watts to just run  and jumps to 79 watts running 5 threads of its i7 6700t cpu

so  46 watts for about 23H

is not good compared to a gpu but still is a profit. for power used.

Cool - thanks for the update.  Running now to see what the speed difference is vs 0.3a

So the fastest CPU is the same speed as the slowest GPU....

Ancient old 7850 2gb gets 65Sol/s

Yeah but if you have i7 or i5. In the right spots they will turn profit.

Seeing almost no difference between 0.3a and 0.4b sadly

Considering the price of 7850 used now which is about 60 USD as we speak it still maybe a good option (of course if you have cheap electricity). I would be personally happy with 65 Sol/s from the GPU and 10 Sol/S from my CPU.

My PC stays on at least 12 hours a day or even more for other duties so if I add mining what can be the problem? I pay that pay for electricity. I am thinking of buying a RX 460 as a card for my new PC, should perform better than 7850 and the power consumption is 2.5 times lower. It looks like this Zcash is quite profitable mining with GPU-s.

How many Sol/s are 460s putting out?
