We are all on "borrowed time" pretty much when it comes to mining. Our only catch at success is to sell ZEC, buy BTC and keep it and hope SEC approves the ETF and bitcoin goes to $10,000/coin.

You say that because you want to grab all the coins at a lower price because near this month zec price will go very high!

Maybe ETH or ETC, but not ZEC.

ZEC will not go very high because every month there is a large percentage of supply entering the market.

The price is at all time lows...but the market cap is at all time highs. All because of the daily supply of 7,200 ZEC coins.



So price will keep going down? Is it better to just sell. I made ~ $180 for the month of Jan and now I sit $190 for 12 days. I basically been mining to keep up with price drop.

Nop, claymore release will pump the coin. By the end of this month, zec will be in the range of 50$-75$

You really don't understand how mining works do you?



You really know all the markets react with news? good news pump, bad news dump! Are we expecting bad or good news?

id say don't know because of the jerk running the US right now ... so wait .... Id say bad news a lot of shit is about hit the Fan bad or good won't know till it does ... but to answer yes news plays big part in coin prices so Ive noticed.also bad news coming form the US can jack up prices or good news , even noticed the same with china, mostly with US and china's  news...

I hope they follow the Rules they have until march 11 th but with this Administration you have no idea what gonna happen next will it be lawful or not, help or hurt sigh ... they could extend because they don't care and figure they can do what pleases them ... so lets hope they follow rules ...

For everyone using another miner than Claymore it's definitely bad news. Even for us it's not only good news. Load on cards and probably also power usage will rise and the higer hashrate will in big parts be compensated by higher difficulty.

While waiting for Claymore's turbo-charged 12v, I am using Optiminer v1.6.2 ~ I am speechless.... this one runs like Usain Bolt and my Hawaii and Fiji cards are having a field day!

 I'd guess closer to 80% but definitely a large majority are AMD - and quite a bit of it is likely 2GB cards that CAN"T do ETH any more.

 NVidia has NOT moved to ETH - 1070s in particular are better off on ZEC than ETH and have been since the Nicehash NVidia miner got up to speed.
 There HAS been some NVidia move elsewhere though - stuff like LBRY that NVidia dominates and AMD is a non-factor.

I hope that Claymore did it with the new drivers from AMD 17.1.1 so at the moment it is the best driver in the increase in speed
That would be wrong, 17.1.1 is not working with moded(even for ETH) bioses and such cards are wast majority.
So 16.11.5 (or 3 ) is best shot.

 16.10.1 as the last WHQL qualified drivers that allowed mod BIOS

Now the money is free, and so the people will be
I have a number of Sapphire rx 480's running that have run well all winter since I set them up.  Now that it is warming up, they are starting to trip out due to excessive heat generation and the air from the outside isn't as cool.  I made all my own bios by simply smearing the mV of the 5th strap over 5,6,7 and smearing the mem values to be the same over the last three settings.  They have worked ok, but I was wondering if anyone has a stable and more energy efficient bios they would be willing to share with me that keeps the hash rates up in the 275 H/s but gets the power consumption below 175 W/card.  I do not understand the workings of all the settings on a card to fully optimize what I have and I don't know where I go to find that information except through bits a pieces shared in this forum.  Any help would be appreciated.  I can share back a very stable and reliable bios for the Sapphire rx 470 if that is of interest.  Its one I use on all my 470 rigs.  It gets each card down to 155 W/card and puts out around 250 H/s and is very stable.  Anyway, any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

Basically easiest way is MSI afterburner, or other software, and just bring the core voltage down to the max you can, like -100mv.  Some Rx models can run below 0.90v but not all, depends on your card.  I have a 470 running at 0.88v, very stable, and it hashes (well its on ETH or XMR, but zec uses less power than ETH) under 100w.  So try that out it should get you good results without too much effort, only trial and error.

Every day 576 blocks x (10+2.5)=7200 new ZEC are mined. Faster miners or good/ bad news don't change that fact. That is pure maths.

Now look at buyside, there are only 170 btc/ 8000 zec worth of bids and 22000 zec on the sellside. That is like house of cards if you ask me. If someone starts dumping and the panic starts, in 15 minutes there is nothing left where to dump. I am not saying that is going to happen but what if?

Huh?
Hi Claymore, what is the estimated time of arrival of your v12 turbo charged ZEC miner? Thanks

Started final tests for most cards, I'm checking last things related to Polaris cards, I will release new version within 24 hours.

Would be appreciated if you can release windows/linux at the same time Wink

An xmr one for both windows and Linux would be useful.. :p

Most Nvidia's went back to ETH mining and most botnets went back to XMR.

Nvidia back to Ethereum? When? Why? Maxwell nVidias suck at Ethereum and if you check whattomine.com, Eth is nowhere near the most profitable coins for Pascal architecture cards like GTX 1070.
