As a random question, I've been mining for years and I still don't know what the monitor checkbox does on the workers page on most pools. Anyone have any idea?
Hello @bensam1231 - the monitor checkbox when checked will email you when your worker goes down. It is a great tool if you have multiple rigs and can't have constant access to them all the time. I love the tool!
That's what I thought it did, but everytime I've had it checked it hasn't done anything... Guess broken pool implementation. -_-
28 S/s on a GTX 1080, Why this card sucks that much for mining?
Bcause GDDR5X?
Yes. It's weird and no one has taken time to optimize for it. Looks like the majority of coding support is on AMDs side, Nvidia development as sorta dried up. I'm very much starting to second guess buying 1070s over 480xs at this point. Besides the initial Lbry launch, they've been on par with 480s... only cost twice as much.
We'll see what happens this spring time after the fall of Ethereum, but as of right now Zcash looks set to overtake Ethereums spot and may just flip-flop with it.
Guys, I'd advise not to mine zcash directly on nicehash's zcash pool. I was mining there and on coinmine at the same time since yesterday and my overall balance on nicehash is roughly 1/7th of what it should have been based on my coinmine earnings My hashrate is reported just fine on their pool and their miner is faster but still. And apparently their payouts doesn't work yet.
Anyone know if there is a miner gpu that will work with windows vista? zcash thx
EDIT: on pause it says cuda driver version is insufficient ...I just got the latest drivers for 750ti.
Maybe a driver for the 980ti that supports 750ti?
ooooo sh%& I downloaded the wrong driver for my vista.
EDIT AGAIN : no .. Cuda driver version is insufficient for Cuda run time version in func cuda_tromp :: get info line 45
I installed the CUDA 8.0 toolkit to solve it:
https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloadsYup, I only mined on Nicehash for the first 4-5 hours or so till the pools got figured out, then I left... Nicehash has the smoothest launches, but definitely not the best payouts.
If someone wants to do the Zcash community a solid and take Nicehash's nheqminer and add the ability for a address line from a batfile and post it on the Zcash forums, there would be a lot of happy people. Right now .3a is hardcoded and eachpool has to make their own custom copy. Some pools are still stuck on .2a due to this, .3a being 30% faster.
.3a is currently limited to Nicehash and Suprnova, neither of which I'd like to use.
