Z9 list of working pools/Fork updates

[d.v.]

I am curious about a status update on hashrate vs actual mined ZEN.
I run 3*Z9 on zhash.pro with a total of 50.2 ksol/s and I just mined 3.77 ZEN / 24 hours. It is under the whattomine projection and also under the zhash.pro projected payout.

Anyone else? Is ZEC more profitable on a certain pool?

based on the calculations as of this post, you should be getting about 3.9 ZEN so you're actually doing pretty good. also account for the pool fee too. i think you will probably average out over a longer period.

Is zen on suprnova down for anyone else?

Down for me too, came home to crazy fan noise, thought the miner kicked the bucket, turns out only had one pool programmed into it

Same here. My miner switched to an alternative.

Did your test deposit go through? BCI has had me sweating for the past week and i'm quickly losing confidence in it, but no other equihash coins i'm aware of look very promising to me. I refuse to mine ZEC because of the 20% dev fee.

I have zero confidence if their official pool is any indication.

I'm mining on their official pool for weeks, since Supernova is not accepting Z9 on BCI pool and I have had zero issues, works absolutely fine, I'm sometimes even getting more than projected on whattomine, but that's just luck.

Is anyone as surprised as I am that Antminer Z9 does not seem to be a better buy than second batch Z9 mini?

Power consumption: 1150W± 10%

Hashrate: 40.8k Sol/s ± 5%

3319 USD

If we assume the same 1.6x hashrate when overclocked, that takes this to 64K Sol/sec, which is basically 4 Z9 minis.. if we take 3319 and divide it by 4, we get $829.75... which is basically the same cost as the current batch Z9 minis.

So... this is either a "Surprise" waiting to happen with a huge jump over the quoted hash rate relative to the minis, or it is just a 4-in-1 mini.

The quoted hashrate and the wattage suggest it's just a 4-in-one.

It looks like 4-in-1 mini, judging by the power consumption. I believe that that it may be easier to bump Z9 mini's has rate to 15 ksols/s than to get 60 ksols/s with Z9 (power issues if not 20A fuses and noise). In addition, Z9 mini second batch I bought (in addition to what I have) cost me $600 after applying coupon.

There are already two threads discussing this product. Can we keep this one about working pools?

Excellent! Myself, I received payment for the first about 13 coins I mined, then payments stopped. I stopped mining when my balance was around 34, stopped and made several attempts to contact them through their official thread here (I can't use Telegram, and that is the only contact option they provide). Had several separate conversations with them in that thread that all said either "use Telegram" or asked for info, which I provided, and then nothing. Crickets. PMed the guy I was talking with, even emailed him at the email in his profile, nothing. It's now been three weeks and that balance is still in their pool, so I decided to just give up on that coin. I hope you do well with it, sincerely, and I even wish them well, I don't want anyone to be scammed or lose out, and I still don't think they're a scam pool or it's a scam coin, but that level of lack of effort to work with people who have problems using their pool is just astounding to me, so I have no interest in that pool or their coin.

I think BCI had some issues with a 51% attack and has made some decisions that may have affected you in some sort of way. Have you tried to discuss your issues in their discord?

What information do you have about this? I've seen temporary massive hashrate spikes on BCI and have become suspicious but I don't have any other evidence.

No because I haven't found their discord listed anywhere; link?

Slushpool is currently working now.

go to their website: https://www.bitcoininterest.io/

it's under the "community" drop down menu navigation at the top; you'll see "discord"... click on it and it'll take you to the channel. once in there, just ask.

I think even some exchanges are not allowed to accept BCI coin deposits from wallets. Bitfinex, HitBTC, and Trade Satoshi are the 3 main exchanges. I think some of us were not able to do HitBTC and someone did confirm Satoshi but I just tried to deposit some and it failed.

They're also gonna fork to ProgPoW by the end of this month (or so they're trying to) then port all coins over to new wallet, i guess?

Nicehash now appears to be compatible with the Z9 Mini as well. I've been mining for an hour at 100% efficiency, will update if this changes.
Edit: Sorry guys, after an hour and a half it dropped down to 20% efficiency. Still not working properly

I tried yesterday, it is hashing normally about 15 minutes and start rejecting all orders.

Do they reward you in BTC?

Yes, when working properly. But unfortunately I spoke too soon as my efficiency has now dropped to 20%
