xzc gives back roughly 10usd/card/day - today especially after the hard fork on bittrex it surpassed 100usd barrier for couple of hours....can you point to a more profitable coin?
Verge (x17) will give more then 15$/day if you have big farm and can mine solo. If you are using zpool you'll get 12$/day. All for gtx1080ti
how many 1080tis is big enough to solo mine?

Ugh sorry to hear your fan came damaged.  :/

TBH I didn't think the evga fan that comes with the SC2 is as bad as people say.  I could barely hear it.

I replaced it anyway with a corsair ML120.  Pretty happy with this setup.  Both my aorus and the sc2 sit at temps in the mid 50s while mining.  I haven't tried any games yet.  I suspect the sc2 will run warmer in-game vs. mining.  Looking forward to doing a little testing.

Do you have to do any DIY work or is this just plug-and-play? I didn't realize that these video cards use standard parts... If that's the case, I would drive these fans harder!

Damn.  I may have to try removing the stock cooler and re-mounting.  I used this stuff when I put the amd stock (wraith spire) cooler on there.

And I'm seeing 75c load temps now.  That seems pretty terrible for a ryzen 1700 at stock settings.

I must've messed up somehow.  The case has excellent airflow so I know that isn't an issue.

Is it usefull to overclock memory too for XZC mining ?

absolutely my mem settings are 500 (thats on msi 1080ti gaming X - which is manufacture overclocked) ALSO if you are using older MB set up your virtual mem to at least 16GB!

How do you earn only by OC mem too ?

My GPU settings for XZC mining are as follow:

GPU MSI 1080 ti GAMING X
MB Taichi X370
CPU Ryzen 7
RAM Corssair DDR4 2700MHz 16GB single bank
SSD Kingston 128GB

Afterburner settings:

Core Voltage -50mV
Power Limit -20%
Temp. Limit 70C
Core Clock +230MHz
Memory Clock +500MHz
Fan speed 40%

With this settings the rig containing 7GPUs is stable, cool&quite and using 1500W worth of energy mining ZXC and earning about 1ZXC/day

I hope that answer satisfies your quests

Can anyone show me the setting msi for Zcoin of 1080ti ? I had msi armor

I use 80 power, 90 core and 300 memory, is that ok?
no, because zcoin is not the most profitable coin to mine now

smile on my face

on my too...

Hey thanks for the tips guys - much appreciated!  Smiley

Right now I'm running a B350 tomahawk (MSI) with both GPU slots running a 1080ti.  I'm tempted to pick up a cheap 6gb 1060 and run it in a riser but haven't done enough research yet.  There is one pci-e slot left on the motherboard I could exploit.  Only running a 850W psu right now though so that could be an issue if I try to go further with what I've got.

I'll see if I can locate the d/l link for the cpuminer-opt-3.7.7 and have a go with a little exta mining via CPU.   Grin

Merry christmas to everyone in the thread and have a good holiday today.

Yah difficulty is creeping up there for XZC.  It is tough to give up on it as the power consumption and configuration is a plus as pointed out by betiteh0777.  XZC seems like a good potential candidate to hold long term to me.  I'm curious to see where it is in 1+ years.

I have a ryzen 1700 am tempted to try mining XZC with it if it is profitable.  I really have no idea what cpu miner client to use for Ryzen and lyra2z.

For lyra2z and Ryzen cpu mining I use cpuminer-opt-3.7.7 and inside the zip file there are 6 potential miners you can choose from depending on your hardware configuration. I use cpuminer-4way.exe for my Ryzen 7 rig and cpuminer-aes-avx2.exe for my Ryzen 5 rig

what board are you using and how many gpu's/ pcie slots you working with? tempted to build a cuple ryzen rigs but think i'm just in consumer mode and just buy happy.

Someone has problems with Suprnova and XZC`?

I am mining correct but it doesnt show any transactions?!

In the dashboard everything is ok - whats going on?

I`ve had the same issue with mph and zcoin. Always had lower hashrate and earnings than what wth says. Luckily, i`m done with that coin.

I have one rig with 7 cards on it and another one with 3 under construction.....far away from solo mining....
12$/day is not bad. What about the energy consumption with Verge? Zcoin is extremely low consumption orientated, hardware stays always cool&quite. Also I use my two Ryzen's for mining XZC returning profit of about 1/2 card per day...

Opminer is closing suprnova XZC pool.
Zcoin had a hard fork yesterday so it required to change pool software to handle new dev and znode fees. Maybe it wasn't done by Opminer.

Anyway, as 1080ti owner and long time reader of this thread I'd love to invite comrads to a new XZC pool I created.
It uses the same engine as MPH and Suprnova (MPOS).
PPLNS payments, zero fees.
https://zcoin.hashpump.com

There is a some giveaway promotion going right now:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annpool-mining-pool-hashpump-2641449
wow, the pool is closed already. something wrong happened?
actually we really do need an alternative to MPH in order to get stable network.. with closure suprnova now there is no alternative

what to mine in your opinion? XVG or ORE? Yiimp pool and electrum xvg wallet have some trouble.
