My second ZEC + XMR+ ETH thread builds info links thoughts and photos.

Claymore v6 is a blessing !!! Now, ZCash came a lot more profitable ! It is now even twice more profitable than Ethereum ! I gained an overal of 160 H/s on 2x RX 470 and 2x R9 380 ! Calymore .

[GabryRox]

In the end, which one appear to you to be the more reliable : Nanopool or Flypool ?
(in terms of reported hashrate accuracy, effective payment etc ...)

This is what I have heard from zcash forums
Flypool hash rate is all over the place but payouts are on time
Nana pool hash rate is stable but payouts sometimes get delayed

I mine at flypool and I can say payouts are on time and hash rate is up an down

My rig is doing about 700h/s according to claymore, but Nanopool show something closer to 600 than 700.
Will try flypool to compare.

NB : I have many payout all the day from Nanopool , no worries about it. But not sure to be paid as much as I should !

I havent used nanopool but can share my experience with flypool.  Yes, the reported hash-rate is all over the place... my graph looks like the Rocky Mountain range lol!  Since going to v5 a few hours ago, I have been bouncing anywhere in between 350 & 450 h/r. But... they do pay out very consistently, which is very important given the volatility of ZEC.

yup, these big h/r increases alone have kept ZEC mining profitable vs ETH.  Even going back to v4 it would probably be close to a toss-up but v6 at least doubles the h/r of v2, or at least that's what it seems like based on early reports. I just started running v5 this morning and went from 65 to 110 on my RX 470s!  While that was amazing it looks like another 30-40 is possible with v6.  Still waiting to see more posts about wattage draw and heat with v6 since i am away from my rig this week but v5 had no increases vs v4 but we will see.  Saw at least 2 people post on the Claymore thread that v6 increased wattage pull by about 10-15W per card, but others have refuted that so who knows.

I'm at 75~80W for about 130 H/s on my RX 470s. For the R9 380, I can't unfortunately tell you since there is not a precise wattmeter included in Afterburner for it.
I'd like to know some things :

-What is the real utility of the intensity ? I checked all : 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4, and what I've found is very minimalistic. No more than 10 H/s of difference and no more than a few watts of consumption. So I went for nothing specified (so 4 according to the automatic text that displays when you open the miner command). Is it a wise choice according to you ?

-What is your pool ? I've been on Flypool for a long time, after a few days passed on Suprnova and Coinmine, that did not satisfied me. I've still not done a complete day on Flypool, but I'll try to do that, to know what's my real earnings there. The problem is that I can't compare to anything else given the numbers going crazily down or high. I wouldn't mind earning 5-10% on Flypool if it is consistent because of the sleek design that I love.

WOW!! CZM 6.0 is awesome!!!
Getting 140S/s+ on my MSI RX470 4GBs

Sampled v6 on my rigs:

290x at 166-168 H/s - speechless!

R9-390 at 177-180 H/s - OMG!

RX 480 at 140-142 H/s - best improvement since v5.

R9-Nano at 191-194 H/s  - OMG x 100 !

I am really off my seat on the R9-Nanos.

I think the HBM memory on the Nanos and Furys makes a big a difference.

These Nanos are also -100mV BIOS mod already so I dont even touch any AB settings, just install v6 put -i 4 and let it rip!

Citronick, could you remind me what are your 290x settings ?
Because I'm only at 150 per gpu (comparing to your 165/170 range)

For information , my RX470 got 140

Too bad those nano's are so damn expensive..
Can't wait to see the R9 490 released

this edge will disappear by tomorrow since everybody else update as well (even with constant prices), but dumping will increase, so a dip might ensue as well.
I split my rigs between eth and zec-sometime one has advantage, other time the opposite.
I like the fact that zec used less wattage before, not sure about now.

No settings - ie probably stock, buts its a BIOS modded card.

I didn't even bother with AB because the the 290x is flashed with the almighty Stilt BIOS.

This rig has 2 x 290 and 1 x 290x. Its my test rig but when not in test mode, it joins the farm mining ZEC or whatever the flavor of the month is. I use to tinker with settings with AB but after Stilt bios - I don't bother anymore because its wattage came down a bunch and met my objectives.

Got increase from 1100 to 1300 H/s

Very cool release!

yeah I am over 2k now so pretty good.

Looks like ZCash Classic (ZCL) is starting to be a thing.  It is NOT on Poloniex or Bittrex, yet, though.  No block reward goes to the Devs.  You can mine it at suprnova. 

I'll give it a try with my CPUs , since I turned them off of ZEC.  Maybe throw one rig at them too. See what happens.

How do you sell it ?

And now bittrex

 For a day or two while the bulk of folks upgrade, then it's back to the same level more-or-less.

not if people were on linux.  I think this is faster then any linux for the moment.

Not to bust any bubbles but the profit will be the same in a little bit as everyone switches over to v6.

Optiminer is just as fast for linux.  https://github.com/Optiminer/OptiminerZcash

yeah it has been an ebb and flow.  but maybe there is more to squeeze out here.

Strange , I'm on the StiltBios too but I can't achieve your hashrate on 290s.
But 150 il already fine !

Is your 290x seated on 16x PCI slot?

no everything on risers ! (16x and 1x , all set to gen1 in bios)
