I have 4 GPU but work only 3 GPU. 4x RX480 8gb. System i7 920 and 12gb.
When i start optiminer say:

Assuming Windows: You probably need more virtual memory. For 4x 8GB cards, set virtual memory to 32gb.

(Or use linux.)

[olib]

I use win 7. I works but after about 5 minutes, 3 cards are turned off and mine only 1 gpu. How to deal with this ?
Which version driver is best ?

Did you increase the virtual memory as I said? e.g. follow
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2840886/if-windows-virtual-memory-is-too-low-you-can-increase-it-but-there-are-trade-offs.html

If you get CL_INVALID_EVENT_WAIT_LIST this means the GPU driver failed to allocate memory for mining.

I increased to 32 Gb. I have --watchdog-timeout 15 --watchdog-cmd 1 and now it's 6 hours still. I was 1350/2200 overclock.

any updates

[Equalizer1970]

Man, people are sure crazy for dumping at these levels.

[optiminer]

I have updated the public ZERO node with IP 94.176.235.178 that accepts incoming connections. It is now based on the latest ZERO code-base at https://github.com/zerocurrency/zero - updated by the original Zero developer.

Everyone interested may add it to their config. file ~/.zero/zero.conf:
addnode=94.176.235.178

Thanks, zerodev2. Your node is now in github installation steps too.

Can someone make an official release with the merged code? Or at least tag it in github.

Can someone make an official release with the merged code? Or at least tag it in github.

optiminer, the official dev zerocurrency produced the Zcash 1.0.8-1 merge with the ZERO, around May 6th.
The commit in question can stand a tag, but that's what I consider to be the "release". https://github.com/zerocurrency/zero/commit/9f0184092c9bb76a6372dd0c1f873a5fbec00e0d

So what's the news on this project?
can someone please PM me a slack invite?

WOW this coin is literally impossible to mine, the top miner on suprnova pool is getting 0.01 ZER a day, and price is so cheap?

Mining this coin is very difficult when you have a low specification computer but I used to get it when the price is high and I have enjoyed it

Yes, that's great. Just tag it such that it is more visible that the merge happened and we have a stable tag to checkout and build from.

That's not true. Both the hash rate and expected payout shown at suprnova are completely off.

Let's do a quick estimate:
- current network hash rate (shown at https://zeroexplorer.com): 2729 H/s
- Daily mined coins: 7200
- Hash rate of an 8GB GPU (exact number depends on the model): ~8H/s

This means your daily pay mining with 1 GPU will be: 7200 * 8 / 2729  * 0.99 = 20.9 ZER
That's about $3.5 if you'd be crazy and dump at the current price level.

Vote for the addition of Zero to c-cex.com!

whata bout nvidia miner? are you planning to make one or only amd?

[optiminer]

whata bout nvidia miner? are you planning to make one or only amd?

I do have some plans for an nvidia miner. But cannot say when it will be ready. Also depends on the price development of the coin.

Huge pop on ZEC, due to a partnership with JP Morgan. http://www.coindesk.com/jpmorgan-partners-zcash-team-add-enterprise-security/
If anyone could only remember that Zero is an even bigger and better Zcash
