I would try 1 rig on Zcash too.
But is it possible yet ? Later today if I understood well.
As nothing seems to be very clear yet, do you know what software will you use ?

Guys, do you think mining ETH is still the best way to ROI our gpus at the moment ?
I think my method will stay with eth on 4 four card rigs.
and do zcash on 1 two card rig.

I purchased 10 windows 7 pro coa's for 250 a year ago.
All you need to make an installation of Win10 from official Microsoft image - and enter key from your Win7
So you will have 10 Win 7 rigs
October 27, 2016, 08:39:46 PM
so i do have some better cpus in a few rigs. I guess I can try mining it on nicehash. I hope it works with windows 7 as all my rigs have windows 7
Phil any reason why you dont want to switch to Win10?
I purchased 10 windows 7 pro coa's for 250 a year ago.
I have 2 left.
I will move to win 10 once they are gone.
I like win 7 always worked well for me.
I am also getting tired of learning new os's
been doing it too long and too many times.

Hey if I mine some zcash on ethpool
New pool.
A ) what exchange will let me have a wallet
B) what software is everyone using
C) I have rx 470 or rx 480 I have 4gb or 8gb what's best.
D) Anyone running a good rig setup yet?

I am using Nicehash, since payout is BTC and BTC price is trending up at the moment.
GPU miners are not out yet - not that i know of.
So CPU maybe the only way to mine at least in the first few weeks.
I have converted all the ETH rigs to still mine ETH but CPU mine ZEC.
Total hash - around 32 h/s... because its only Celeron 1840 Dual core... so very minimal per rig, however combine all 30 rigs... you will get a decent hash. I also have some i5s and it can do 4-5 h/s and up to 8-9 sol/s. Enabling hyperthreading seems to help mining greatly.
I experimented on Ubuntu but.... funny thing is the NH cpu miner seems to be unstable vs on win10.

I've experimented with the suprnova version of the nicehash windows miner, for no other reason than kano has beat it into my head that I should not be using n!ceh@$h 
Like others, my rig CPUs are pretty weak, since they were chosen to be cheap and "good enough" to run an ETH miner program.

Nicehash team actually worked with ZCash team to come out with the NH miner early.... so credit goes to them that a functional CPU miner is ready, and also being "hijacked" by all the pools supporting ZEC this Friday launch.
Do you know if Claymore plans to work on ZCash miner?
All he said it's not on the top of his list but it has his interest

A- bittrex will have a wallet on friday.
B- right now everything worth wild is linux only
C- right now cpus are out doing gpus till someone can get a gpu solver that can push some numbers
D- i have dual xeon e5-2670s doing around 30 sols on windows. (still working on linux numbers)
so based on this I can do
A - get a wallet on fri
B- try to get my 1 linux pc to run its intel 2500t cpu
C- same as B
D- based on your results I will get less then 10 sols
470s are doing 17-18sols but that miner is locked down so no pool change.
nicehash has a nice miner but its locked down also but supernova cracked it to use for other pools havent tested it tho. im not big into linux
youll like that zcash isnt hard on gpus like ethereum. it went from 800 watts to 680 on a 6 gpu rig

I will re-install win 10 one last time and try the 6 card one rig ... if it fails it'll be 3 GPU per MOBO.
Tired of loosing hours of mining and time.
Tired of loosing hours of mining and time.
I found that the you have to use the usb risers that are powered in the back of the usb riser board for the 12x pcie slots on the motherboard instead of the flex cables. I love the flex cables, but they often only work on the 1x pcie slots. See if this works for you and let me know.
Thanks !!!
I will try that. I have USB riser, but I was using the flex cable for the
Appreciated info
EDIT: what is very strange is whatever card is at position GPU 1, it always the one who cannot create the DAG (Open CL error 36) or just doesn't hash (0 MH) or just hang after 1-2 hours. I got trouble with GPU2 and GPU5, but I can see that it's not the same card at the same position all the time since cards crashes and window re-install the driver automaticly or whatever he do it seems to shuffle the cards.
If I run 4 cards, it is just more stable (2 days). I tried 2 MOBO (H81 PRO BTC) with the same result pretty much. I managed to get all 6 cars running 2 times, 10 mins and 2 hours with with only bootstrap Bios updates. I don't play with wattman, it is a waste of time at the moment, everything reset all the time. I red some info in another thread ... I will try what he said ... plug one card, reset CMOS, plug the rest (and some driver manipulation). I might just re-install Win 10 first since i have reinstalled 9.2 and 10.1 like freaking 20 times.
airsick mobs are nutty.
I just got this mobo
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157681
99 usd 30 rebate = 69 usd. I got it to replace the mob flooded at the solar array.
So I wanted to run windows 7 and I got the usb mouse won't work bug. it works once you load all the drivers on the mobo cd/dvd
so I go look around the house and find both a keyboard and a mouse with p2 jacks not usb jacks just to get to load the mobo drivers.
spent an extra hour last night looking for the ps2 gear.
the board is now working with 2 msi rx 470s'
this was a cheap build. 2 cards on sale 370 usd. the mobo on sale 69 usd.
so cost was 439. all other parts were salvaged from the array mobo. the ram the ssd the cpu.
So I am up to just under 400 mh.
I am happy I have chosen to be high on btc vs eth or anything else. I have just been converting all eth to btc at the moment. I also sold off a bit of btc to shore up my cash share of the game.
I am kind of busy helping my neighbor fix up his garage. we tore out all old insulation put in new. then put in decent tongue in groove pine for the walls. next we will put up shelves. We should finish the job on this Friday.
I'm death frustrated at the moment ... I was switching to USB riser one by one ...
At the 4th card. Boom smoke. No idea why ...
Card not recognized anymore. At least the MOBO is fine ...
Cannot use Newegg replacement ... out of 30 days.
30 days I'm struggling with this shit.
Opnened an RMA with Gigabytes ... cross fingers ...
At least ... i'm now hashing with 5 cards ....
