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

[kolopro]

Hi,
I have a problem mining with AMD Vega 64. Getting this error

[2017-10-28 18:50:06.664] [info] [GPU4] Device info: {"id": "1/4" "name": "gfx900" "platform": "AMD" "driver": "2442.9 (PAL,HSAIL)"}

[2017-10-28 18:50:06.682] [error] Build Log:

Command Line that I' m using on Windows 10

optiminer -s %POOL% -u %USER% -p %PASSWORD% -m 8080  -d 1 -d 2 -d 3 -d 4 -d 5



Thanks

Same issue here with vega cards(56/64)....

I'm mining this on suprnova with 6 480s and I'm only getting 55 Zer / day. Anyone got similar results? These seem very bad.

That is not bad at all, what did you expect? to mine 55 Zero with 1 gpu?

i mine on zeropool.cloud and i get more +10/12 ZER with same configuration

Wondering why the problem with Vega cards

This is very close to what you should be getting with 6x480's
If you bios mod them maybe you can get a bit more but what you reported is very normal

[badfad]

They are bios moded, total hashrate is about 68. Pool hashrate reflects that. So I guess whattomine is off as usual.

Yes Whattomine is very off
I am getting about 50% of what whattomine reports that I should be getting
But it is still in testing mode in whattomine so I am lenient with them

Where i can create zero coin wallet?

Where i can create zero coin wallet?

Cryptopia

[sdg777]

wallet is being developed or not?

[tearodactyl]

wallet is being developed or not?

sdg777, we are currently working on the Windows build for the node.
That does come with the same Java GUI wallet as the Linux version.

  Tearo

it is very good

[delightfulbold]

What is the current token valuation?

[sdg777]

how many developers of this coin now?

[FOMI]

Long time watcher here. finally registered so i can support. how is everything coming along and do we need to do another funding round. want to support this community!

Hi guys
how much power does a rx480 4 Gb
What is the best intensity

Sending from T1 to T2 or vice versa = No problem in wallet OR Zero explorer
Sending from Z1 to Z2 or vice versa = No problem in wallet OR Zero explorer (They don't appear in zero explorer as per normal since they are Z- addresses)

Sending from T1 to Z1 OR Z2 = minor problem = Wallet shows correct overall balance BUT for some reason a random amount of zero gets transfered to T2(Both wallet addresses are mine). The amount chosen to go to Z1 OR Z2 transfers correctly. The zero explorer shows correct data (shows both tx's)
Example: T1 balance = 2 zero
T1 sends 1 zero to Z1 OR Z2 and although 1 zero gets to Z1 OR Z2 correctly AT THE SAME TIME a random amount (let's say 0.40) goes to T2 automatically.
So now we have
T1 balance = 0.60 zero
Z1 OR Z2 balance = 1 zero
T2 balance = 0.40 zero

Sending from T2 to Z1 OR Z2 = No problem. This is weird though because you would think that the above example would happen here also.

Hope this helps...

This is behavior inherited from upstream bitcoin v0.11.2, which is when zcash forked from it.....when you send from a taddr and it has to split a UTXO, it gets send to a randomly generated change address in your wallet.

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


ZERO is fork of Zcash (Zcash is fork of Bitcoin). It has security of Bitcoin, privacy of Zcash and few other improvements. ZERO includes the best privacy and anonymity technology available today.

Goal of this fork is:

• test completely different set of equihash parameters in the wild, chosen parameters: N=192, K=7
  • these parameters should target generally available hardware for mining
• learn from it

All these parameters are improved by this change:

• higher time complexity
  • about 16 times*
• higher memory requirements
  • about 16 times*
• faster block verifications
  • 4x
• smaller solutions
  • 400 bytes instead of 1344 bytes are inserted in every block

How were these parameters chosen:

• abandoning idea of mining on mobile devices
• making it hard enought to postpone the risk of ASICs
• memory requirements target regular desktop PCs and graphic cards with at least 8GB of RAM

Coin distribution changes:

• no founders reward
• no premine
• no slow start
• no halvening
  • stable supply of coins
  • minimizing violent mining strategies
  • removes stressful event that heavily impacts miners and market price
  • no coin cap
  • small inflation (smaller and smaller over time)
  • lowers the early adopter advantage
  • steady reward for miners can result in lower fees in future
  • at least some compensation for forever lost coins
• 1 block per 2 minutes on average
• 10 coins per block

Distribution:

• 7200 coins/day (the same rate as BTC and Zcash before the first halvening)
• after 1 year:     2 631 600
• after 10 years: 26 316 000
• after 20 years: 52 632 000
• after 30 years: 78 948 000

Additional effects of changes:

• 4MB max block size
  • faster blocks combined with increased block size and with shorter solution length enables much higher transaction capacity than Bitcoin and Zcash.

Unchanged:

• the same initial trusted setup as Zcash

Minor changes:

• wallet.dat renamed to wallet.zero (an easy change to make it just a little bit harder for a malware)
• each new wallet is created with 10000 addresses to minimize losing coins due to old backup of wallet
• coinbase maturity increased to 720 blocks (24 hours) to prevent currency hopping

Future goals:

• merge fixes and improvements from Zcash and Bitcoin
• add support for WIN and MAC
• change equihash parameters if ASICS become available or feasible
• increase block size if needed in future

Names and symbols:

• Currency name: ZERO
  • not ZERO cash, not ZERO coin, just ZERO or ZERO currency or ZERO cryptocurrency
• Currency unit: ZER
• Currency symbol: Ƶ
  • Unicode: U+01B5
  • HTML entity: Ƶ
  • https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%C6%B5

* Estimations are based on current state that will probably change with new optimisations and with mining on graphic cards

Hello. help me pls. pool zero.suprnova.cc send payment to cryptopia - https://zeroexplorer.com/?account=t1Ukicfn91h3p6yrzaJZNj9FvNteFxCHrai. coins not on wallet, why? i dnt understand it.

[DrearyUrbanite]

the dev said himself he isn't posting here, but is there something like a clear roadmap? What are they going to implement next or will this coin just be maintained rather than technologically advanced?
