Topic: [ANN] ZERO - fork of Zcash with harder mining params - page 57. (Read 131845 times)
Anyone who posted on page one of this thread wanna copy the developers post for images?
Thanks all for your support.
I merged all the commits from Zcash. So now ZERO has all the features and fixes as Zcash 1.0.8-1.

anyone tried to get ZERO working with znomp?
I think what would be good for the coin is to get added to a second exchange.
And a second mining pool would also be good, currently 90% of mining power is concentrated within a single pool.

Agreed, these are natural patterns of growth and maturity within any chain. Any suggestions?

Wallet update or port would be nice. Maybe a dice game or faucet? More exchanges?
We brought vaklinov's GUI wallet to ZERO: https://github.com/vaklinov/zero-swing-wallet-ui[Do not forget to tip him]
What other wallets or functionality would you like to see, please?
There is a faucet already setup by the original dev. Is there a dice game for Zcash or Zclassic that we can adapt to ZERO?
Tearo
P.S. I am in the process of bringing ZERO to Zcash 1.8 level, with the ETA of perhaps a week.
This happens alot I feel. Coins go silent for a while only to be revived for a price jump.
Take the risk or not? I got a 390 pulling 15 zero a day.

good question, I've seen coins rise and fall, cup and handle, used beta and pre-release miners. The risk you speak of, is a question of crystal balls. how much will it be worth in 1 month? 2? 6? a year or so? All we have to go on is in depth knowledge of crypto in general, the algorithm, its potential use-cases, benefit in comparison, etc. a lot goes on gut instinct, and the will to put the work in and say "if i lose out, i lose out". most of the people in this thread feel it's a worthy venture, with different ways to go about it i'm sure. That's probably why we're here. My best advice is to be comfortable in your personal finances first.
Edit*
I know what it's like to want to buy ETH at 7$ but end up selling dozens because you need milk and laundry money.

true, but people are free to mine what they want, personally I have my 380s mining ETH because I'm getting between 2.25-3.25 per card that's about a quarter what a 390 pulls.
ETH is way more profitable, especially with a BIOS mod, if what you want is ZERO, then... mine ETH and sell it for ZERO?
AKRO, I'm setting up a couple of 480s. The BIOS mod that you mention, is that relevant to the PCs running Linux? Does it apply to the 480 cards?ETH is way more profitable, especially with a BIOS mod, if what you want is ZERO, then... mine ETH and sell it for ZERO?

380s not 480s, but mods exist for them too, I don't normally mine on linux, but to my understanding it should work fine.
*EDIT* Beware flashing BIOS, be sure that the BIOS you use is compatible with your specific memory etc. if you mess up, you might be fine, or you might break your card for good. (I did this once to identical cards, one came back, the other was lost forever) , be sure to make a backup of the original. Read Thrice, do once.

I do not understand miners with 4GB video cards. Digging with the loss of profit (ETH mining is more profitable). This reduces the profit to miners with 8GB of GPU (increasing the difficulty). If you really believe in a coin - dig ETH and buy Zero on them. This you will help and earn much more.

trading volume extremely low 
Any further developments?

optiminer, great news for so many smaller miners here.
What did it take to fit into the 4GB, please?
It reuses some of the memory buffer between the rounds at the expense of less efficient memory access patterns. And cutting down the bucket sizes a bit. This means it will find a bit fewer solutions per iteration.What did it take to fit into the 4GB, please?

These 'optimizations' are for making the algo run with 4gb instead of 8gb but slower. So, this would only make sense for the CPU if you are short on memory. I still believe that equihash is much better suited for GPUs than CPUs even with the changes params. You could increase the memory usage even more like 8x more than currently. Then, it would be difficult to implement it with less then 32gb ram which would make it difficult to find a GPU where it works on.

New version of Optiminer/Zero for AMD GPUs with 4GB RAM: https://github.com/Optiminer/OptiminerZero/raw/master/optiminer-zero-1.1.0.zip
answered on the other thread
Summary: Windows 64 bit supported, Linux version is coming, different binaries for AMD 4GB and 8GB cards, with the 8GB version (not surprisingly) being faster.
