I will probably start when RX 490 is out

If the price of the ZCash is similar to now, there is no point to start.

The ZCash price increased a lot since then, but it is still not very profitable.

I have an AMD zcash miner, win-only, stratum-only.

It does about 22H/s on a 390X now. I might release it but I'm afraid it needs more speed.

Genoil-zec-miner-0.3.2 not working with R9 Nano on Win7 64bit. I tried with 15.12 and 16.9.2.


You can use the 0.42, 0.5 or 0.6 to mining with the 16.9.2. But the speed is about 28H/s at stock.

Before Genoil create a faster miner, it is better to use the Claymore miner eventhough it has 2.5% fee.

anyone mining with r9 380x or is this miner at nice hash no good for that card?

i am getting 11.5 sol/s



where and how

there's a new competitor in town: https://github.com/mbevand/silentarmy

extract: "Performance

    45.7 Sol/s with one R9 Nano
    39.6 Sol/s with one RX 480

Note: the code is currently very poorly optimized; it makes zero attempts to keep the queue of OpenCL commands full, therefore one needs to run 2 instances of SILENTARMY in parallel on the same GPU to keep it well utilized."


I have RX 480 8GB, R9 380x 4GB, R9 280x 3GB and that miner would not run at all. It just kept crashing.

my r9 380x cards do not work...

all shares rejected .... low difficulty?

any ideas why those cards are not working
?

other cards seem ok

Yes its ABSOLUTELY NUTS that people are paying those prices for Cloud mining.



That right. The Cloud mining is 4-10 times over priced. So that is only for the people who do not know how to mine.

It's impossible to know if something is overpriced. Nobody knows the hashrate of the network for the next days and months and nobody knows the price of the next days and months and years.



You can know it is over priced as for the same cost, with your own mining rigs, your hash rate is 5 to 10 times higher.

CPU solving us highly memory and clock frequency bound and doesn't scale with cores well at all.

It scales reasonably well, althouh obviously sublinearly.
1x dev1 = 6.2 Sol/s
8x dev1 = 25.6 Sol/s
on a 4Ghz i7. So more than a 4x increase from using 8 instances.

nicehash is ready to i think...

As you might already know, NiceHash will support Zcash from day one (28th of the October).
We are pushing boundaries and working around the clock so that we can offer you something user friendly in the front but beast in the back.

Current tests are showing between 5 and 10 H/s for CPU miner. GPU development isn't far behind.
If all that won't be enough for you, you'll still be able to rent hashing power to mine Zcash - on demand and with no contracts.

Stay tuned as our testers say it's worth it.

I have 7.3Sols on a dual Xeon using nicehash completely unoptimized. Just as a reference.



That seems really low, the i7 supposedly gets close to 20 sols using Tromp

If there was a sucker born every minute in the 1860's, there should be one born every 4-5 seconds now. :-)

Is known how much hashrate is on the testnet?

Edit: Maybe more interesting: What was the peak until now (if known)?
