Is there anything out yet for CPU or GPU Zcash mining on Windows 32bit?
Thanks..

 No and I have some doubts there will be.
 Unfortunately.


 Given how unstable the ZCash mining situation is right now, I wouldn't even think of trying to build an "optimal ZCash miner machine" - could very easily be a new "more optimised" miner show up the next week or even next DAY that works a ton better for the other side of the Red/Green debate and throws ALL calculations of optimal off.

Hi guy, anybody tried zcash.flypool.org (same guys who do ethermine and ethpool)?

I tried to install genoil's 2.2 and 3.2 as per their instructions, but windows 10 refuses to run genoil.exe from a bat file.
my driver is 16.9.1
How you guys do it? is there a minimal amount of RAM?

 Haven't tried it on any AMD rigs yet, as all of my AMD rigs are LINUX.
 The "nicehash" miner they posted works fine on 3 NVidia rigs I've tried it on though (dual 950 rig, dual 960 + 1 950, and a short period to do some testing on a single 1070 in a rig I was building up tonight).
 All Win 7, Nvidia driver version 472.90 IIRC (NOT the most recent one, that one has MAJOR issues with some stuff I've tried it on so I ended up rolling back to a KNOWN working version).


 950 and 960s are both pulling very close to 10 sol/s, 1070 was pulling ballpark 30, all with right about the same to a hair lower power consumption vs. Ethereum mining.


I was wondering what a single 1070 can do on Zcash. I have CPU and GPU both on mine doing 43 Sol/s

My 1070 is a good overclocker but I suppose my i7-970 CPU is pulling anywhere from 10-13 Sol/s

my pair of 1070 cards are both getting about 31-33Sol/s each

24" PCI-E cables with 16AWG wires and stripped ends - great for server PSU mods, best prices https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563461

Got a buddy running 290's he is getting 100mh on a rig of 5 of them ...we did not have much luck with i think he said 270x 3gb cards

Anyway I decided to get a rig so for about 2k complete .this will either work well or badly ...newegg should have the stuff here monday so wens at latest it should be up

Figure even if ZEC crashes and burns in an epic pump then dump at worst I'll go back late in the
game on ETC and maybe salvage  1000 bucks back from it all before doorstop. I have NO real
decent desktop for 10 years ...so keeping and selling extra cards (5 card rig) MAYBE it it all goes
pearshaped and ETH moves on to POS etc etc .ie doorstop I may be 500 to 750 usd down on this 'gamble'

but currently I'm betting it at least has enough legs that at worse it will go to NO? lower then LTC which is 0.0006 LTC to BTC if so I can string this along at that rate it is gonna be no more a gamble then an A4 asic with 1 year warranty on parts GPU vs 45 days on an A4 or same price (if you could find them) on a used 'supposely' at least 300mh Titan....(glad i passed on that A4) Smiley

Real issue is as you say 1) know your cards work ...even so we are gonna only try 1 card of this
on a rig if it works then open others if not the 1 opened card and rest go back to newegg on 30 day
replace and call it an 'ooops'

2) now wens of next week..after supposedly getting my rig up (buddy got another identical)....if next week is STILL as nuts...and making the BIG assumption you could even find workable GPU's will I build a 2nd rig on my 'guess/bet" at that point and continue slugging down the 'kool aid' with the other folks on the ZEC float parade?(I'm weak willed I am) Sad Chinese curse" "may you live in interesting times" indeed Smiley

fun times.............damn every Xmas since 2013 the damn crypto 'kool aid' keeps getting stronger and better Smiley


Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

 Mine are getting a bit less than that but I'm running them at stock clocks for the most part, they DO seem to respond positively to bumping the memory clockspeeds up but I've not gotten series about tuning them yet.

Switched my old workhorse I built for mining. MSI 7850 hD 2GB on motherboard sharing vid with mining ( Intensity turned down to 15) and one - R9 270X 2 gb and Two MSI R9 270X 4GB on risers all running Intensity 20.

Windows 7 - 64 bit, MSI 970 -G46 with AMD X3 455,  8 GB Ram ,  15.12 amd drivers.
Running Claymore's first zcash miner on flypool

GPU 0 30.9
GPU 1 35.44
GPU 2  34.79
GPU 3  24.4
total 125.59

drops as low as 121~124 but temps are good, everything box stock, never over clocked or under volted and for what I have invested I'm pretty happy.

The HD 7850 was part of five I used to have and had sold off 4. The R9s were bought used.  May tinker with it when I get a chance. Originally rigged out for Ethereum but had been switched off.

Be aware that there is a 2.5% miner fee built-in to Claymore's miner. Although it works supremely well on old AMD cards.

For the time being, you can use the Claymore miner as it is the fastest open usage miner. The fee is OK.
