btw the nice hash miner is supposedly getting 40 sols using just a onld I7 in their latest build,

if this holds up all this work on gpus is kinda moot since cpu-botnets will crush the hash rate on launch

gpus need to get at least 25% more of cpu hash rate due to the power the consume not the current half

Yea I was thinking the same thing, it will be abused by botnets. But even if gpu mining get's a higher rate this will still happen.

yeah that goes for all coins but what happens is the GPU speeds are so much higer than the cpu speeds that the botnets become insignificant and no worth it

with this coin with gpu mining being so slow the botnets will be super effective.  Bad thing too about botnets is they are notorious dumpers of coins so they tend to really crash prices

Hmm, I just tested the nicehash version linked by supernova.cc and was averaging 13.764 sols w/ my i7 6700k clocked at 4.5Ghz, 10.65 at stock. Compare that with the op's miner on my Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX970 at around 15.5 sols, but a heck of a lot more power draw for 2 sols more. I ran nicehash cpu and op's gpu miner together for a combined 26.5 sols after running for about 10-15 minutes.

I'm getting 19.7 sols with my GTX 1070 and like 6 sols with an AMD FX 8320 8 core CPU.

is this with one gpu only?

Got 18,5 with my 390, i think there is a lot of work to be done on optmizations, since you are getting the  same with your 480

Any wallets for Windows available yet ?


what?

this is a GPU miner thread...

plus zcash doesn't even get released till the 28th, AND has already stated there will NOT be windows wallets on launch...

please do some research before coming into a thread with useless questions...  or for god sake alteast READ the OP...


Buy a better fucking attitude.. thnx
lol well I guess you got your answer, albeit a little harsh  Roll Eyes
There is a windows miner, but i have nowhere to send the coins.
Am i supposed to setup a crappy linux machine for a wallet ?
Thats just stupid.

Until there's either stratum support in the Windows GPU miner or a Windows wallet, you're still bound to linux interaction even with this Windows GPU miner in order to create a ZCash address. A third option is if a trusted exchange supports it immediately and you use it as your mining wallet (which is frowned upon by pretty much every exchange since the beginning).
Yeah i will wait for an exchange or the nicehash miner release.

right.
this miner is really just to get a feel on our cards mainly for test purposes to be ready for the 28th (which, rest assured you will have a place for a zcash wallet then  Wink )
no need to be in such a hurry, dat GREED got you vein popping ! ;p
patience, young padawan, soon enough, soon enough
My farm is doing fine on ETH, so no rush for me really.
About greed, greed is the rush to launch a project without even having descent wallets ready.
The hype is real.

So when the dev's can answer our questions or fix bugs:

1) Miner is spleating speed between NVIDIA gpus 2+ on one rig - how to solve?
2) Very low speed on previous generations AMD gpus (if compare to toomims reports) - can you speed it up?
3) dual CPU and GPU mining in one console - is it possible?
4) Descent PPS percentage according to medium market rate on other algos and pools - would you decrease fee?
5) Dual mining with other algo - may it be in future?
6) ... add more guys if i've missed something

Use the windows 10 Ubuntu shell and you can install a zcash wallet that way there are instructions on the web

I'm running it on win7

nice i keep getting an error,
ERROR: config.txt, line 42: expecting '=' , '?=' or '{' near ' '
hit return to exit

i have 1 rig with 4 amd cards and 1 1070 and my other rig just has 1 1060, getting this error on both systems, cant seem to figure out why lol


delete or rename the file equiw200k9.bin into equiw200k9.xxx or something and try again

i got it running had some extra instances on the end of the command line, i must have screwed it up got it working now thanks fo all the help everyone getting 15 sols with just my 1060, thanks again

Well its all about the timing of launch. They (devs) never intended to have any windows support at launch. By shear luck, we now have a windows gpu miner only. What I did, was to download and install VirtualBox software. Download Ubuntu 16.04 image file. Load up VB and point it to that image and install form VB. Its actually not that hard, just read and feel your way through it. You wont need a lot of additional hard drive space for the partition part of it. Maybe 25 GB or so. Once you have Ubuntu running in VB go to the last link for the wallet adress creation as well as the CPU miner if you wish to solo mine.

Also go here for wallet address creations: https://github.com/zcash/zcash/wiki/Mining-Guide

ok, go for it!  Wink

The error does exactly say what is wrong. You prob removed an { somewhere, post config without value here please. Or simply just download the basic config.txt and edit it again.
