I would like to start mining zcash, but I come from nicehash miner so I need a bit of help. Can you please help me posting here the most useful post you have read in this (or others) thread? (I know you bookmarked them  ) I just need to understand main settings and how to configure a miner. If you are also so kind to share your OC and undervolt settings for the 1070, it will be really appreciated! |

This is miner indeed is the best miner for Zcash. Never had an issue with it. I reccomend people to first run it with stock speeds before overclocking for stability.

What is needed in the nicehash.bat in order to mine from the US? Currently my nicehash.bat has all stock settings (except for my wallet address of course,) and location is set to eu. miner --server equihash.eu.nicehash.com --user <wallet address>.2x1070 --pass x --port 3357 Maybe some can post their US based .bat? may be this.. miner --server equihash.us.nicehash.com --user <wallet address>.2x1070 --pass x --port 3357 or miner.exe --server equihash.us.nicehash.com --user wallet address --pass x --port 3357 I have already tried that. The miner closes immediately. I suspect there's more to it than just changing "eu" to "us" like the port. Try using: equihash. usa.nicehash.com The port is still: 3357 So your complete string would be: miner --server equihash.usa.nicehash.com --user <wallet address>.2x1070 --pass x --port 3357 You were pretty close, just needed to add the little "a" at the end of "us".  |

Thanks. That was it.
Any advantages of USA over EU? Seems to be about the same. 890-910 Sol/s on my 2 1070's
The only advantage is to use whichever server is closest to your physical location to reduce network latency. Too high of latency can cause you to lose a small amount of shares over time as they may expire (go stale) before they get turned into the server. This usually only happens if your latency is well over 100ms. I believe the NiceHash USA server is located in San Jose, CA so choose the location (USA or EU) based on where you live. If you live in US the choose USA server, if you live in the EU choose EU server, if you live somewhere in between you will need to measure the latency between the two and choose which ever one is lowest. Normally when the shares are submitted by the miner you can see a latency report such as: INFO 18:08:26: GPU0 Accepted share 55ms [A:3162, R:0]. You could just run a few minutes pointed to each server and see which gives you the lower latency readings. Alternatively you can just use the ping command to check the latency to each server, use speedtest instead of the algorithm name so your command would be: ping speedtest.eu.nicehash.com or ping speedtest.usa.nicehash.com You can visit NiceHash's page on testing server connectivity for a full list of their servers. Do note though that some of their servers will incur an additional ms penalty due to their use of proxies as explained at the bottom of their page. |

Under Zcash.flypool.org
It says 'To save your settings complete the public IP Address of your worker given:' ..... do I need this?,. . Also ewbf isn't giving me any ip address. I did do the ipconfig under windows 10, and added a few ip's but not accepting.

Those are how many shares you have submitted to the pool, Accepted and Rejected. |

If you are also so kind to share your OC and undervolt settings for the 1070, it will be really appreciated! Your configuration will likely depend on the pool you will be joining. Try downloading the miner first. There's a sample config file and also a batch file that you can easily modify as needed. |
