Batch two of the Z9 may not be a good purchase (I purchased 1 batch 1 and 1 batch 2).

I plan to try and mine the equihash multiport on MPH. https://miningpoolhub.com/?page=gettingstarted

It takes a bit to understand how MPH is working so you may want to mine a pool where you mine one coin directly. Also, it sounds like right now not every equihash pool is working with this miner, although I expect that to change by the time batch two gets sent out.

MPH sounds interesting....
Is it more profitable?
Thanks for the info links

Awesome. Welcome to the mining pits. Good to see new fresh people interested in joining and playing the long game. Great choice on miner. Low power consumption and a popular algo.

Thanks for your kind words.
I hope it’s a great choice. I’ve been reading everything I can

Hello , this is my very first post , ever .
I have been wanting to enter the mining community
For a while now and decided to take the gamble
With batch 2 of the z9 mini for $850.
This will be my very first miner. I’m not looking for
The old ASIC v GPUs debate , just looking for some
Advise from more experienced people.
Any tips for setting up the device , which mining pool
Should I choose , can I use my Mac to set this up or
Should I buy a cheap windows unit ?
Can I connect the network cable directly into the back
Of the Mac that is connected to my wifi network or
Should I run a network cable directly from my modem?

Thankyou in advance, I realise some of these questions
Look quite stupid, but I’m a total noob with all
This . But I’m having a go
