Topic: Z9 list of working pools/Fork updates - page 30. (Read 36856 times)

I have not had time to test this properly, so im not sure it works. My temps where to high to go passed 750 Mhz.

But;
SSH to the miner -> cd /www/pages/cgi-bin -> vi minerAdvanced.cgi and add more field below 750 options. Like 775 and 800. Save file go to web panel and advanced config -> select 775 Mhz and hit save. Let me know if it works out.

I would love a second confirm on Suprnova ZEN. No Suprnova pools worked for me when I was testing but I honestly don't remember if I tested ZEN, so it may totally work (and I'm not doubting the poster, just very curious). I'm currently mining on a very small pool (coinblockers BTG) and I want to keep supporting so I probably won't be testing for at least a day or two unless something important comes up, so maybe someone else can test the current requests and confirm/try the current failed ones...

Hi,

I just received my Z9 today...

So far I connected to Antpool, mining Zcash@750Mhz, running stable.

I have several questions on you experienced guys:

1) Where to mine BTG before it will fork?
Isnt currently the best idea to mine something that will fork soon? As most of people will be jumping to mine Zcash, I assume that difficulty will be growing fast there ...

2) I have some strange numbers in Antpool, it shows 32.33 KSol/s [10min window], 13,3 [1h window], but in the machine status is 15-17 what I would expected. Anyone having similar problem?

3) What payment method do you prefer? PPS / PPLNS?

4) Has anyone tried to break 800Mhz using awesomeminer?

I tried the equihash Z9 algo on Miningpoolhub for about 18 hours on my Z9 mini and the returns were dismal at like .001 btc in that timeframe, while mining straight btg for 18 hrs netted me .6 BTG.

Anyone have good experiences on MPH equihash switching?

Currently mining flypool at 14k sols, but may switch back to zencash/btg.

I stepped my Z9 up to 750Hz 5% at a time.  0 HW errors and operating temps between 40-61C. I locked the fan at 85%, seems to be sufficient to keep it cool. Ambient room temp is about 70-75F. Been operating like that for 5 days now.

I have mine at only 575 and they run about 60, I am adding a second 120mm (200 CFM) fan to the back of each one tonight and am upping to 750 (hopefully), and I can let you know if that makes a difference in terms of airflow and temperature.

What is the point of using different pools when there is %0 pool fee antpool.? I mean why not Antpool? Anyone using it?
(Genuine question)
Also after OC (I am on 725)(70C)(seems fine, the same temp as 700 or 750, the difference is 1 to 3 degrees C)
I failed to make a SoundProof Box to it, it has 1 fan so suction is not strong enough to pass it all the way i think, it gets too hot,(85C) Anyone made one, can I see a picture maybe.
Thanks

MPH's Equihash switching port is working as well. It won't mine BTG though.

Suprnova's ZEC Pool also works fine, just use the ccminer port 4142

These are the ONLY 3 I have been able to get to work with the Z9mini.

NOTE--now including more info on forks as I get it/you post it. Any coin not posted here check in the reddit thread at the bottom, I am only adding info on DEFINITE fork dates. Assume most coins will fork eventually, other than Komodo.

NOTE--added a field for untested so any Z9 owners who want to test can give a whirl. Pool runners or just general curious users can post pools they want to test in this thread and testers can respond, I will update as best I can...

(most recent update 6/22/18): Hi all! Some of you may have read already (or experienced) that the Z9 is pretty hit and miss (mostly miss) with non-bitmain pools. So for those of us who have received our Z9s, and those who will shortly, we're having a heck of a time finding non-antpool places to mine, so here is a current list of tested pools. This is started by culling from the Z9 thread (as of June 1st), but please add comments below of your experiences and I'll update this post as often as I can. Please try to keep it on topic, I'm not going to report anyone but there are plenty of threads to discuss the machine itself, ASICs and their effect on algos, GPUs vs ASICs, etc. Let's just keep this one to useful information as best as we can, cool? Cool.

PLEASE NOTE: these are based on first person accounts. YMMV, I have not personally verified all of these, I'm just compiling from posts in this thread (and people CAN lie, but I fail to see why they would bother on this one). I put a * next to any working pool I have personally verified in case anyone cares.

Working:
antpool (ZEC)*
Zhash.pro (ZEN)*
Coinblockers (BTG)*
Bitpool (HUSH)*
Bitcoin Interest Official pool (BCI)*
Flypool (ZEC)*
Suprnova (All equihash) (use ccminer port)* NOTE--"Earnings" tab is inaccurate, go by your totals under "My Account" manual payout bit
Zhash.pro (BTCP)
Zhash.pro (HUSH)
Zhash.pro (XSG)
Miningpoolhub (BTG)
Powermining (ZEN) (NOTE--confirmed by pool owner, independent confirmation pending)

Working (sort of):
Nicehash (tested and working but with about a 50% rejection rate, reports that reboots solve the problem for periods of time; more testing needed)

Not working currently:
Nanopool (ZEC) -- NOTE that a user has reported NP have ordered a Z9 and will be testing and fixing once it arrives
Slushpool (ZEC)
BTGPool (BTG)
Prohashing

Test requests:
Bitpool (KMD) link
Any ZCL pools
Slushpool (see page 5 and drop them a message, they want one pointed to their debug pool)


Fork info:
BTG--will fork 7/1ish, at block 536200
SafeCoin--already forked (6/19-20ish)


Also here's a Reddit thread with a list of info on which coins have and haven't confirmed if they are forking or not. This is allegedly being updated, but it may be out of date by the time you read it: https://www.reddit.com/r/zec/comments/8h14ms/equihash_antiasic_fork_every_equihash_coin_and/

EDIT: since I've been asked a couple times, here's a couple addys to donate if you want to, but there's seriously no need. This forum has saved me countless hours and helped me to do everything from build my first rig to help someone set up a pool, I'm just glad to be contributing in some tiny way, and the testing I've done has maybe taken a couple hours off my mining time at most, so there isn't pretty much any loss. Still, again, since I was asked, here's a ZEN and BTC addy:

ZEN: zndAMx7TsZpCMPw1RX4U5fPvoHJJqPsFrEp
BTC: 3GPinbTHQVvLrnHARZ9Pc4bYEHoZcLNSU8

These are the ONLY 3 I have been able to get to work with the Z9mini.

Yes, they are listed on the first post.
