[ANN] ZERO - fork of Zcash with harder mining params

[tearodactyl]

sorry but Windows procedure is not ready yet but it's in roadmap

Could you please tell how to create a Zero wallet in Windows?

fracas, the spotty Windows support has been bugging us as well, for quite some time.
I'll either get this down by the end of the month, or will bounty the work.

Folks, we have a new Github location for the project, where all the active developers can make contributions and post updates.
Currently hosted there is the latest release, pulling in changes from Zcash 1.0.12

i don't know why everyone saying this but the windows binaries work, at least the work on my machine, i didn't put the java gui on it i'm using powershell and everything seems to work fine.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1796036.msg18277438#msg18277438

What's the procedure to create a Wallet (and maybe backup it + private key) under Windows with command lines?

Thanks

[fracas]

started mining after renting some hash but the price just keep going down, I am no longer sure if I should keep mining or switch to something else. What are your thoughts on this guys?

How many coins are mined let's say with a GTX980 per day (24h)?

1° Download it.
2° Create a zero.conf in a new zero folder in %appdata% (instruction dispensed in the readme and on the front page of the thread)
3° Run zcashd through shell
4° run zcash-cli through shell. You'll obtain all the command doing :

Code:

./zcash-cli help 

P.S.: if you want the gui go take a look at the link.
For info about what each command do refer to zcash wiki .

backup instruction : https://github.com/zcash/zcash/blob/master/doc/wallet-backup.md

You can compare ZERO to all the Equihash coinz at: https://www.crypto-coinz.net/crypto-currency-statistics/

Everything right under your nose dude...

Sure we can build a Windows wallet soon

Followed the instruction provided, node is running but from zcash-cli through shell I obtain just:
"error code: -28
error message:
Loading wallet..."

Nothing created.

All files are created and in the correct folder.

Yeah with "help" I obtain commands. But what to do with those commands?

In %appdata% there is now a file called "wallet.zero" that should be the wallet. But where is wallet address? How to read it?

Every command I try following instruction here:
https://forum.z.cash/t/how-to-get-transparent-addresses-list/1759/5

I get just:

error code: -28
error message:
Loading wallet...

And nothing else.

/edit
After various tries it seems I have got a zcash-cli.exe working and I managed to create an address with z_createaddress.

Now when trying to mine with "Optiminer 1.2.0" I get:
- ptxas fatal   : SM version specified by .target is higher than default SM version assumed

Optiminer 1.1.0 does not find any devices... GTX980.

What does it mean?

/edit2
Tried also cgminer.exe but no go. No devices found (980GTX...).

I do not have the time to work through the details of the Windows build, and hereby declare a bounty for a competent developer.
Requirements:
Develop and test a procedure for building Zero 1.0.12 on Windows 10, to generate a set of 64-bit executables:  zcashd, zcash-cli
Use your own Github repo for work-in-progress commits, and zerocurrencycoin/zero repo for discussion and pull requests.
Preferred method would involve using the Bitcoin build method for Windows, via Windows Subsystem For Linux and Ubuntu 16.04, as described in doc/build-windows.md
Additional information and support will be provided to the developer taking on the project

Acceptance test: I will follow the procedure verbatim, to configure a fresh install of the WSFL and Ubuntu, libraries, compiler, etc, and to run build commands.
Resulting executables will be used to load the entire Zero chain, perform CPU mining (2 threads tromp), and complete Z and T transactions that were initiated via zcash-cli and via the Java Swing GUI wallet.
Zcash Testing should pass: full-test-suite.sh and rpc-tests.sh

The community has to pull together here and donate enough ZER for the bounty, to motivate a competent developer.
Use the following address, that I will administer t1gpJ3VtjecLrAfoUBVS1D9P5g8txEUfsek
I will start with donating 100 ZER
There is 7200 ZER being mined every day, and some 1.8 million have been issued already.
If we cannot collect at least 1000 ZER for this one task, then maybe this coin is just not that useful to people and does not have sufficient community support to warrant further development.

Possible to mine with GTX980? It has 4GB RAM... Optiminer 1.2.0 does not work.

I can't make Optiminer work with GTX980 4GB (full 4GB) card.

1.1 version tells: "no matching device found (even if it lists it with --list-devices)"

1.2 version tells: "ptxas fatal   : SM version specified by .target is higher than default SM version assumed"

Any help\suggestion?

Important: There are different versions for GPUs with 4GB and 8GB of RAM! If you have a card with only 4GB download the other version (1.1.0). 4GB is for AMD only!

So no way to mine Zero with GTX 980 4GB? Will it change in future releases? What about other miners?
