No public gpu miner.
Just the botnet domination and the sp-mod gpu-miner...

My miner is optimized for asus Strux

100 000  shiity cpu's and the sp-mod harvester...

Zcash cpu+gpu miner is the next BIG thing. Money flowing in from doors and windows.

A message to the the zcash crew:

Get ready to be harvested.

Me 2.  This "free download linux" bullshit.

Ivy bridge laptop does ~2.5 with nicehashminer beta.

Basically i did uses this as a manual: http://www.bitcoinupdate.nl/home/video-van-een-zcash-mining-rig-op-beta2-testnet

40hashes with what gpu? consumption? how many coins per days with your setup?

Is there a windows binary for the open source miner ?

The ZCash will be released on 28 October 2016.

https://z.cash/blog/zcash-launch-and-roadmap.html

The Zcash team is nearing the time to release our code and launch the genesis block of the Zcash blockchain. This is an exciting time to be involved in cryptocurrency and we hope this launch will be a milestone for the field.

When the Zcash genesis block is launched, anyone in the world will be able to mine Zcash, and users will be able to send it to anyone in the world with the advantage of full zero-knowledge privacy. The interface will be a command-line tool on Linux, and will not include a graphical user interface, nor run on Windows or Mac OS at launch time. We will continue adding improvements in response to user demand following this initial release.

As you will read in our next blog post we are currently undergoing the audit phase of our code; and as such we have delayed our Sprout release for security and safety reasons. Our aim in creating the Zcash blockchain is to launch the first open, permissionless financial system with zero-knowledge privacy and best achievable security. This post will describe, in chronological order, our engineering roadmap and the steps involved in creating this first release of what will (hopefully!) become a safe, viable, trusted network with this experimental and complex technology.

AUDITS

We have contracted a few of the best audit firms and most trusted hacker minds to help us review our code and correct vulnerabilities. The first audits have already begun; we may schedule future audits to gain further confidence in our security at launch. A blog post following this one will go into further depth about our auditors, when the full audit reports will be published, the scope of the audits, and current risk involved with the Zcash launch. We hope that with proper and thorough auditing we will mitigate all vulnerabilities and lessen risk; this thoroughness is one reason for our launch delay.

BETA

Starting on September 7, 2016 we will release the first version of our Beta code. This is still testnet. This series will be feature complete including having our consensus rules frozen, and a new, easier to use RPC interface in place.

This is a good time to begin the work of integrating Zcash into your products and services. Check back after the 7th for a new Public Beta Guide, which will replace our current Public Alpha Guide.

Our Alpha releases had changing consensus rules and had a difficult-to-use RPC interface (which will be removed). The Beta Series will present stable features, although they may be tweaked slightly before 1.0 launch, based on user feedback or bugfixes.

The potential exceptions to feature-completeness in our Beta Series may be changes to our Equihash Proof-of-Work, security issues found in auditing, bugs that aren't disruptive to fix, and changes required for our production launch such as initial block constants, hard-coded node ids, and removal of unused code and documentation.

BETA PHASE GOALS

Previously we described our plan to launch in September of 2016. Although our main software development is still on that schedule, we've decided to prolong our Beta phase for three crucial goals: secure parameter generation, security auditing, and integration work with ecosystem partners.

We'll describe each of these Beta Phase goals in the coming months when the time is right. Stay tuned!

THE LAUNCH AND SPROUT SERIES

The launch target date for the Zcash blockchain is set for October 28, 2016. This is when the first Zcash monetary units will come into existence, based on securely generated zkSNARK parameters. The software release for the launch will be the first in our Sprout Series releases. We are calling this software release, and this initial phase of the blockchain ‘Sprout’ to emphasize that it is a young, budding blockchain with great potential to grow.

In the coming few months we will be publishing content about: how to mine Zcash, information for integration, partnerships in the works, the parameter generation and setup ceremony, other cool science projects our team is working on, as well as a detailed FAQ that will help developers, miners, engineers, scientists, economists, enthusiasts, and anyone interested in Zcash join the conversation.

GET INVOLVED

The updated Zcash core design is in our Zcash Protocol specification. Our roadmap for the Beta and 1.0 launches is embodied in our github milestones.

If you're the adventurous type who wants to play with our current alpha code, check out our Public Alpha Guide.

I looked at the Zcash forum and it shows people are mining with the open source GPU miner, that's on a test and not for real zcash right? when will real zcash be mineable? and is it a good idea to test first with the open gpu miner or will there be a new better miner?

How many hashes do you have?   

I get approximately 40 Hashes total out of my AMD based rigs, i do not know if that is much or not.

Most mining program writers that support a specific LINUX generally make packages for Ubuntu 14.04 and occasionally for other Ubuntu versions.

 Those packages will generally work on most Debian-based LINUX variations with little or no additional work, if the otehr variation is recent enough.

 Otherwise, it's source code compile and that's going to be pretty much "any distribution of recent enough vintage and with the right drivers" should work.

There isnt much info on this forum just visit

https://forum.z.cash/

correct , there would be no difference at all  because all  alt mining would somehow  depend on  either ASIC, CPU or GPU mining  and its doesnt  really matter  on  which  OS  do you  use.  I really dont  know as  of  now  on how  to mine zcash after all and  i already heread about it  on genesis.

People are trading this test coins true google exel sheets lol

Not true. The fast miners will always be fast and can have big advantage over the slower miners.

Makes no difference, it will be more dependant on your CPU/GFX

That is right. If it is 100 days, the advantage of the guys who have the fast miner will be much less.

It is true and I don't find it right , first is the delay because it was scheduled for 26 September the launch
and now the low mining rewards goes from 34days to 100day? People invest money for mining and they don't know how many more changes they will announce until launch

Indeed, I fully agree its just so annoying if I have to be honest, I really hate it but I can do nothing about it..
