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

[citronick]

While cleaning up my dev rigs - installed so many useless ZEC miners... I kept the Nicehash ones which is probably the only decent one that doesnt crash, esp the CPU miner..... cut a long story short....

I downloaded the latest Windows multi algo miner version 1.7.3, that includes Equihash algo.

https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner/releases

To my surprise, this version includes already the Windows version of CPU+GPU miner for AMD and also NVIDIA.

On a 980Ti GPU and 1840 Celeron - the miner runs at 43 sol/s and pays 0.0215 BTC per day or $15.51 USD per day (thanks to a decent BTC $ rise).

This is 1 rig with 1 high end GPU and a low end CPU - Imagine this on a 4xGPU or 6xGPU AMD ETH rig.

Will put this to work on 6xRX480 and 6xR9Nano and 5xR9-390 tomorrow morning - will we see ZEC paying 60-70 bucks daily per rig?

If the rigs runs stable, this would be a perfect way to leverage ZEC high paying rentals at Nicehash market.

At least thats what is profitable now, compared to mining directly.

eth falling like a rocket !

as we speak 9.73$... we are lucky we can GPU mine ZEC alternatively but we need a Claymore-grade miner.

Was there any major news on ETH to get it to fall like this?

yes something about hack or another hardfork.. something happened pissed some people off so they dumbed

[xleejohnx]

I purchased .0005 zec   at 8.6 btc per coin.

my cost was .0043 btc  which is about $3.03 usd

so I now have a zec address



t1d81R73LY4tX9y1VskH6gJELH3PfCvGwz5   is my address it is on https://bittrex.com/


next step is mine here


http://zcash.flypool.org/


I will report how hard this is to do later today.

I have 5 pc's in house a few are i5's

honestly phil if i was you till claymore came out with something.
just rent to nice hash and use their miner. it works on windows with amd and cpu together.
youll make more there an on eth.. untill claymores miner comes then zcash mining would profit more

edit - dont mine on coinsforall.io a lot of people are not getting paid for what they mined...

This one gave me 2H/s - so I removed it immediately (RX 480)

All hope that Claymore will step in

okay I got 3 cpus mining at :

http://zcash.flypool.org/

I seem to be near 23.0H/s running the cpus while mining eth coin with the gpus



http://zcash.flypool.org/miners/t1d81R73LY4tX9y1VskH6gJELH3PfCvGwz5



five miners pushing 47H/s

earnings in 3 hours or so

0.00111 ZEC


extra watts 100


zec is 2.33 btc at bittrex.com

http://www.ethpool.org/credits


ethpool has dropped from 112  to 99 to earn a block

it is worth .01499 btc


and btc has dropped from 725 to 705   but I sold a coin at 720


this has been a good day.

If you are using their cpuminer that line is correct other than the double -u -u and some problems I think with the addresses that begin with z.  That cpuminer auto appends the rest of the domain and port to the -l argument.

I did get the cpu miner going.

It looks like profitability already decreased a lot with nicehash mining.

Minin Zcash now should still be better than ETH but what I earn really with NH seems lower ..

Edit: They are paying half as expected with coinwarz. But they have the only miner I get working properly...

I'm going t try the new release 4 of Genoil to see if it works better than3 , and maybe splitt miner : genoil for GPU and nother one for CPU , everything to flypool to improve profitability

genoil-zec .041  got it working !!!

zec-sa#0: 24.2S/s       zec-sa#1: 26.8S/s       zec-sa#2: 28.0S/s       total: 78.9S

tops out around 85 sols or so on three RX 470 won't work any of my other cards it seems just the 400 series .

My cards are doing 28 sols tops at stock setting and stack firm ware setting. no cpu cores .

you don't need  -g 0 1 2 at the end i got that out of the readme at download.

it works on the US server, just tested both setting, just not on  my 300 and below series yet .

[philipma1957]

Right now it is hot in NJ  74f.  so I just shut down all my gpus'  and I am running  my cpus on zec.

I am using only 200 watts to do 40.  I need to check this again.


So the fact I have some  better cpus in some gear came in handy.

with this coin.  I think

genoil has a amd miner out right now works really well
and its 82F in florida and the cards are running in the low 50c
its nice not seeing hte cards at mid to high 60s

[citronick]

I converted at least 50% of my ETH farm: 5 x 5x390 rigs, 2 x 6x480 and 8 x 5x480 to mine ZEC with Polo address, at flypool.org using genoil v0.4.1 miner.

It works well with 390s and 480s -- with no issues identifying the cards and compiling the required bins to start mining.

The 480s are with modded ROMs (low energy ETH mining 29MHs by Heliox). No issues running them with genoil.

I guess this would be the short term norm until I see something from Claymore.

I retained the other rigs (all R9-Nanos) to continue with ethpool.org since the difficulty level eased up a bit, likely a bunch of ETH miners are mining ZEC now like ants all over candy. The Nanos failed with genoil miner.

is it only windows 10?

I did download a genoil miner but I got all zeros  for hashrates  I will try it again today.

I just got the latest genoil 0.4.1 to work.  looks like my two rigs are pulling more then 100h each.  will post with my info late tonight.

it is hot in NJ got to 79f I may not run. overnight.

My rigs have 4 rx 470 4 rx 480 

 1 i3 6100t

1 i5 6300t

I shut down every thing else the two rigs claim about 500h between them at about 1000 watts

[Biodom]

i got 104h/s average on 0.4.1 genoil using one rig with four rx 470 (mix of three various sapphire cards).
Only 540W at the wall, 200w less than ethereum on the same rig
Thinking about converting another rig to it.

Do you know that there is ONLY 1063 ZEC in existence right now?
Market cap is a miniscule 608K.
It does not make sense to buy it as number of coins will increase exponentially, but makes sense to mine, then sell/exchange.

we have a slow start mining
itll take ~30 days before full reward block is found

ATM, 14 rigs about 1.3KH.

The ZEC farm just went up last night so average hash will take a while to build up.

Since last night, 3 payments of 0.01 ZEC each

The genoil miner will stop working intermittently - its doesnt have a watchdog feature like Claymore so you need to reset/reboot miners manually.

I hope Claymore gets his miner out soon - I cant live without the watchdog and monitoring feature.
