Mining ZEC

[64dimensions]

I think there is a lot of sloppy thinking going on in terms of what is the best ZEC mining software. So this is a clarification of the SOTA at this time IMHO.

1) If you had to go away for an extended period of time and run your miners unattended, my first choice would be silentarmy v3.

2) If you have dinosaur GPU's, HD7970's and 280's I'm looking at you, the first choice would be claymore.

3) In terms of the fastest, sols/s doesn't mean shit, its how many shares per unit time. Unless I have overlooked something, I yet to see this number reliably reported simply because it's harder to measure.


Since ZEC coders are currently getting into a pissing contest about acknowledging the original sources, I would like to thank James Clerk Maxwell for the ability to play in crypto currencies. 

“From a long view of the history of mankind, seen from, say, ten thousand years from now, there can be little doubt that the most significant event of the 19th century will be judged as Maxwell's discovery of the laws of electrodynamics. The American Civil War will pale into provincial insignificance in comparison with this important scientific event of the same decade.” (Feynmann)

Chinese made the first PC . before him  it was a that board thing with beads on it, i forget what they called it back then . most of the stuff we have these day the Chinese invented we cloned it in the western world and made most of it better . i read some place they even invented crypto currencies. to some extent . but china being china like it is now didn't let kind of stuff into the world till years after it was made or invented.

I like to put it this way. It's similar to the same flawed thinking as ...we are doing a job or whatever as if it has some purpose. In reality the reason you're on the path you're on is only because of your past or blockchain perhaps;).  Not because some higher power has a plan for you lol.  We are just merely a blockchain of events leading up to what we see today only able to react to prior events.  Cause and effect mechanism at its finest. We have to get out of this thinking that the reason humans do what they do is because of some event that has yet to come. When in reality we do what we do because of prior events.  Nice to see discussion about this anyway

I'm not sure of the first formal PC being made but the entire concept of modern computer computation stems from Alan Turing's Turing Machine
