Don't want to be an @ss but can we discuss ZCASH in another thread and just focus on the miner issues / development?  Don't want all the issues / bugs to be overlooked due to all the non related topics.   This fan issue with Claymore ZCASH miner is definitely causing stability issue for my GPUs.

So price drop 4x, ok.
And reward up from 2.872 (now) to 12.5 at block 20.000 == 4.35x
 So profit will be same like now. I'm right?

This is rather strange. It's all I get on all my machines now (I am testing the settings with my desktop machine for convenience):

This started when  upgraded to v1.1 but going back to v1.0 does not seem to solve it.
I can ping the address fine from all the local machines and I see active buy orders on nicehash for equihash.

Remember that slow start will stop at block 20000 with a reward of 10.
We are currently at block 5720, which means price could still drop by a factor of 3-4.

Exactly, expect it to drop for atleast the rest of the month I'd say.

That could be right. The price of the ZCash is dropping due to the number of coins are increasing day after day.

Claymore -  Seems like -tt for temp control isn't working properly.  I set it to -tt 70 for my RX480 but on 1 rig it will push fan for 99-100% the entire time even when the rigs are at 58C, on another rig temps are still above 75C on many of the GPU and the lowest GPU temp are 72 with fans running in the low 20 percent.  These 2 rigs sit next to each other.  RX480 reference cards.

Yeah this happens on my 6990 also.

can someone please help me

 I was getting 33sols before using other program

I switched to claymors and started getting less because I had really new drivers

so I downgraded to the right driver (brand new GPUS)

I had some issues getting my PC to recognise my gpus

however now its up and running

1gpu gets 40 solds and the other gpu is only getting 10 sols... whats happening?

i then switched it to etc to see if it made a difference

an now i have 1gpu hashing at 25mhs and 1 gpu hashing at 4mhs

why the hell is one of my cards going super slow

its temp is 55 and fan of 14% (looks to mee like its not working)

if anyone can help me i would be forever grateful


can anyone please help me out? has any1 experienced this before?

why you downgrade drivers?
i have the latest ones istalled, works all good so far

because I was only getting like 25 sols each from brand new 8gb rx480s (I was getting 33 sols each from the other miners)

and because the OP says to use 15.12

please help much love

i have same gpus, and drivers 16.11.2, moded give me about 45sols

On a RX470 rig, I leave everything to default but it's running fan over 80% and the card is 38-45C.  These are MSI 470 4GB, sounds like it could be a driver issue?  Twin Frozr supposed to shut down the fans below 60C and then spin it again above 60C

unplug the  25mhs card from the monitor then plug the 4mhs card into your monitor  then boot.

  see if they go to   25mh + 25mh  


 the 4mh bug happens with sapphire cards often  do you have that kind of card?  if not sapphire  xfx?

also what amd drivers do you use now?


ur a fuckin ledge dude, up and running now 40 sols + ea

I mine for profit but I don't just dump. I currently have 37 Eth coins takes me 3 days to make a coin so I been sitting on them for a while. I mine for a profit but also hold for a profit.  To many miners with mine and dump mentality and does not even care what they sell for.  These type of people could never be a successful business man as they would put themselves out of business under selling everyone else where they don't make a profit.  Guess we can be glad these idiots don't run business or they would put others out of business before they collapsed themselves.
  
Only in mining have I seen such horrible business mentality from so many they don't even consider it a business and just out to make a profit and destroy the coin in general as they have no interest in currency.  This ruins it for everyone.



This is why I mine to NiceHash. I am selling HASHES, not mining and selling coins ZEC.  I must take my money as soon as possible in order to buy more hardware and pay for electricity and Internet. Very slow buildup over TIME.  Some of us do not have much money!!!

I'm in exactly the same situation, having to mine with my home PC so need to make money asap to pay the electricity etc hence why I use Nicehash.

I'm on a relatively poor income of approx £5200 a year BEFORE bills etc so cant afford to hold on to mined coins, i need to sell what I make there and then at the best price I can get at the time.

Now Nicehash may not be the most efficient way to make money as the price they pay is less than you would make to actually mine and sell yourself but at least its a certain income with no luck involved.

All these moaning about people selling with no regards to the price etc obviously are not in a position like mine or the users I quoted where we cant afford to hold and have to sell. Plus have you thought about what these pools are making?  Nicehash posted on facebook the other day they had 20% of the ZEC hashrate.  How much do you think they are making and either hoarding or selling?

But you are selling hashes to others who likely will sell the ZEC anyway......

Anyways, I have been holding all the ETH I mine also, looking long term.  I also held my mined BTC/LTC for a long time back in 2012-2013 (I started when LTC was $0.01), and profited a lot in the end.  The issue with doing this with ZEC is that the price is currently unsustainable with slow start increasing, and with high profitability, if you don't sell, someone else probably will.  Who knows what ZEC price will be in a year from now.  I will start holding more when price stabalizes some more.  It is starting to stabilize, probably will be more stable after slow start.

So quick question: This miner says that I'm mining at 192 H/s. However NiceHash is reporting 140 SOLS/s. My question is does 192 H/s translate to 140 SOLS/s, or should NiceHash be reporting what the miner's saying which, again, is 192 H/s?

difficulty changes & FEES ! when it's mining devfee it kinda stops mining for you hence the drop, it should go up again after dev gets the fees.

After much testing. The most ideal speed is at 1070/1375. Going any higher frequency on the memory results in no speed changes. Same with going to the previous or next memory strap. I think my limitation is this CRAPPY Sempron single core processor because I was able to go above 50Sol/s in an i3 rig.


For any 7950 7970 7990 280x with H5GQ2H24AFR MEMORY you can use this

Here are some benchmarks

Only 1 I left stock the rest are modded.

Try it and let me know what speed you guys get. Maybe with an i7 you can get 60Sol/s on a 280x.


EDIT: Now they are all running at 50Sol/s. I think the way Claymore calculates speed isn't accurate sometimes.

It seems the Calymore ZCash miners use very little CPU. So why would that affect the CPU so much?

No idea but its a crappy old $5 CPU, so it affects the mining speed in some way. I'll put the GPU in another i3 and see what speeds I get.

So quick question: This miner says that I'm mining at 192 H/s. However NiceHash is reporting 140 SOLS/s. My question is does 192 H/s translate to 140 SOLS/s, or should NiceHash be reporting what the miner's saying which, again, is 192 H/s?

Miner H/s is the same what Nicehash names as Sols/s.
Thing is that current hashrate can fluctuate. Make sure to check the average speed on nicehash.
