which zcash pool should i connect to?

suprnova.cc used to the biggest ZCash pool. What happened to it so it has to offer no fee to attract new users?

2) If you have a power outage, your miner running under Windows won't restart when power comes back on 'till you LOG IN MANUALLY (I have yet to see any miner program that could be run a a service).
     LINUX makes it easy to set up so the miner will restart automatically after a power outage.
 IMO the only thing Windows has going for it are that the overclock/fan control programs available for it like Afterburner are a lot better.

Just not assign user password during windows install or reset it. Autostart works good enough.

OK after a few thousand combinations in BIOS, lots of reboots, crashes and Bluescreens due to "Driver stuck in Thread (or so)" I believe I finally have it running stable for more than 30 minutes:



BUT.. I have three cards .. Yet it only displays Fan and temp for card 0 .. Shouldn't it display for all cards ?


PS: And no, Card #4 is still not working, as soon as I plug it in the mobo disables the SATA adapter.. What a PITA .. Never buy a ASRock Gaming Z170 K6 Board for a rig...  I'm still trying to get that running

for temp check crossfire state of your cards

Funny, so I've installed windows on one rig, Win 10 Pro, especialy for Claymore 8 and my 480's and like 10 years go, Win freezes completely on a random basis

 Just one of the many reasons serious miners prefer LINUX.

Why, cause "Linux doesn't freeze"?

 1) LINUX is infinitely more stable than Windows (which isn't saying much).
     I have LINUX machines that have run with no outages (hardware failure, shut down to physically MOVE the machine, and power outages excluded) since before Windows XP EXISTED - literally.
     The only Windows machine I've EVER had go a year without crashing was a NT 3.51 SP5 machine - vs MORE THAN 20 YEARS for some of my LINUX machines that were running the same user programs.

 2) If you have a power outage, your miner running under Windows won't restart when power comes back on 'till you LOG IN MANUALLY (I have yet to see any miner program that could be run a a service).
     LINUX makes it easy to set up so the miner will restart automatically after a power outage.


 IMO the only thing Windows has going for it are that the overclock/fan control programs available for it like Afterburner are a lot better.

None of these statements is true. For 2) check your Bios. Every Bios has an option to turn on the computer after the power is restored, including windows machine. Of course you have to put a shortcut to the miner in the start up menu.

Can't see any advantages to use Win 10 on mining rig. I'm using Win 7. 10 needs too much handy work to make it obedient and not traffic-hungry.

People started mining with Claymore and are using anonymous (wallet addresses) for mining - many are not aware that it works on suprnova too unfortunately.. You can just point your rig the exact same way with wallet address to suprnova as well ...

ZecMiner64.exe -zpool zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -zwal Yt1uaa4yJuwDvErGbzVERx69zt9qsaZZpMYG -zpsw d=256

Works for example and also sets a static diff of 256 for your worker..

You have updated the motherboard BIOS firmware to the latest version, right?

Thats news to me - never knew that - thanks for clarifying.

Is this only for ZEC mining or available for the other coins at Suprnova?

Hello,
Pray for some help on the following problem!
What this means, fence in the red rectangle?



It appears occasionally and stop digging. It is very unpleasant because it can occur after 15 minutes, but can also be done after 3 hours?
How do I solve this problem? If it is important that the intensity is 6.
Thanks!

More volt and/or lower intensity needed.

GPU0 Needs a replacement PCI riser more than likely.

This only applies to GPU 0 or all 6 cards?

Place memory virtaul 16gb decrease intensity

So you have 20 years of practice and still haven't learned to use search engines? Or linux aces who never update their machines never update their brain content too?
2) BitMoose and/or built in Task Scheduler

Thank you all!

For ZEC and Zcl currently but will add it to more pools as well

Hi Claymore,

Diff keeps on increasing.... need speed esp those RX480s badly.

Are you releasing v9 anytime soon?

Thanks
