what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?

ZEC mining looks profitable but once price goes down its the same fate

factor in 30-35% lower power draw and even if the btc payout is eventually the same as eth per rig it still makes more sense to mine zec with electricity factored in.

there is also total power draw if thats what limits you. someone with say 100 amps as upper limit can now use 30% more rigs for same amps.

Avatars are overrated.

I dont get it lol. I run this:

Code:

title xxxxxxxxxxxxxx mining inc
:start
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool us1.ethpool.org:3333 -ewal xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -epsw x -dpool stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:2252 -dwal xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxx -dpsw xxxxxx
cls
timeout /T 10
goto start

Then I run my genoil and it crashes:

Code:

genoil.exe -c zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -u xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxx -p xxxxxxxxxx -i 20 -w 64 -P 1 -g 0 1 -k zec zec zec zec -f 2
cls
timeout /T 10
goto start

What am I misunderstanding....

Edit* got it running but my speeds are horrible. Why would anyone do this?

OK I have found an interesting balance of some sort... using only two zec functions which request 4 threads I free up room to mine eth and dcr pretty reliably in that gap. The loss in hash on one coin though is the same for all really so you get what you put in. Lower returns but you do get to mine 3 coins at once... which is nice.
480 hash on zec is about 30/s
other two are about 80 and 100mh

i think this helps with powerful systems running efficient software on old zec miners that werent tweeked to use all the cards efficiency.

the new silentarmy miner no longer allows me to dual mine, even the 480's but the hash rates are really impressive.

Bitcoin may be the TCP/IP of money.

I tried on my 7970 (even it's recognized as 280x by Claymore miner) the speed on both ZEC and ETC to almost 0 Embarrassed

I WANT MOR SOLS AND MHS

If you want to make big profits, you have to act quickly. the mining profitability might not last long.

if I understand this correctly, this will only happen on newer 480 cards with 8G of video ram?

i tried with Nice Hash with a normal laptop GPU.. and got 5k satoshi in an hour..but laptop became too hot..

its profitable till the zec price is above btc

I tried this out and it just caused too many problems. Since this experiment I've had a ton of problems with my GPU's mining straight zCash. Just beware that doing this may cause some problems...

Hi Folks,

when I try 2 use this hint,
it always ends in about 57% rejects in equihash (pool-side).

I do not recommend this, until there is a real dual-mining solution (eg. Claymore).

Just my 2 Cents.

Hey guys need some help

Im on Win 10

setup is Rx 480 4gb and Rx 470 gb

When i try to

To run genoil & claymore at the same time the sol 's and mh's drop really low.

Any tips why this may be happening ?

out of curiosity are all your crashing miners running windows?

linux does occasionally report gpu's gone bad.. and also occasionally get constant stale shares, but just crtl-z or ctrl-c'ing out and restarting fixes everything.

Ubuntu 16.04 and debian so far.

while you got your wallets open:

Yes, windows 10. I can get it to dual mine ZEC and ETH for a little while, but then the cards crash even when I only used the RX 470s. I'll have to try ubuntu once things are more "normal" lol. Thank you!

@smaxz & molitar, I should be getting a ZEC payout in a few hours, but I'll send you both. Sorry, but my wife sold the ZEC deposit while I was sleeping. This time I'm staying awake : )

I tried the dual mining but the hash rate crashes in both of the software regularly, so it's not good for me.

If Claymore can make out somehow dual mining of ZEC and ETH, it would be the best for us. It needs great optimization.
