I hope windows because all zec miners on linux are not stable
Don't you think that's the reason to make Linux version?
Seriously, it is not a ZEC issue, but miner writers. Xtremal's one is more or less stable on Linux but tied to one only pool which is not stable, and miner often loses connection and can't recover. Genoil's one crashes for me. Etc, etc. But Windows version is also limited to actually Nicehash's one. It is stable for me but again tied to couple pools only, and no latest sources published to patch and rebuild without tricks.
There's a Nicehash varient (originated from flypool I think but Nicehash seems to have turned around and re-released it or did the same thing) that supports stratum, seems to work on pretty much any pool BUT that propriatary one with the MAJOR payout issues.
Been stable on all of my NVidia Win7 based rigs except the one that's not stable on ETH (it's tossup on ETH or ZCash for stability on THAT rig, which seems to be having some sort of hardware issue I've not yet had the time to dig into and fix).
It IS picky about driver version - do NOT use the latest 375.70 driver version or the one before that, makes the entire system VERY unstable on both 950/960 based systems AND 1070 based systems. I've had to revert those to 372.70 which has proven to be VERY stable for all mining type work *AND* gets along with my AMD APU/GPU drivers.
The coin itself doesn't seem to be a scam, it's just early days and not a lot of time was given to write good miner software - YET - and the pools are still having issues, likely in part due to the BROKEN WALLET issues.
On the other hand, that one "propriatary" pool DOES seem to be somewhat scammy - no clue why they decided to support a non-standard protocal for interfacing to their pool if they're NOT trying to scam folks.
Genoil, in particular, is using "solver" code from other folks and hasn't taken the time to "roll his own miner" yet (I wish he would, it would probably work a lot better and be a lot more reliable).
I'd really like to see that, and a miner out of wolf0, so Claymore has some competition when he releases something. 8-)
Nice part all of the "swing" of hashrate into ZCoin has made my OTHER rigs noticeably more profitable too. 8-)
