Topic: Z.cash mining is up! What you using? What you getting? BTC/ZEC whichever. (Read 12099 times)

For the time being, you can use the Claymore miner as it is the fastest open usage miner. The fee is OK.

Be aware that there is a 2.5% miner fee built-in to Claymore's miner. Although it works supremely well on old AMD cards.

Switched my old workhorse I built for mining. MSI 7850 hD 2GB on motherboard sharing vid with mining ( Intensity turned down to 15) and one - R9 270X 2 gb and Two MSI R9 270X 4GB on risers all running Intensity 20.

Windows 7 - 64 bit, MSI 970 -G46 with AMD X3 455,  8 GB Ram ,  15.12 amd drivers.
Running Claymore's first zcash miner on flypool

GPU 0 30.9
GPU 1 35.44
GPU 2  34.79
GPU 3  24.4
total 125.59

drops as low as 121~124 but temps are good, everything box stock, never over clocked or under volted and for what I have invested I'm pretty happy.

The HD 7850 was part of five I used to have and had sold off 4. The R9s were bought used.  May tinker with it when I get a chance. Originally rigged out for Ethereum but had been switched off.

 Mine are getting a bit less than that but I'm running them at stock clocks for the most part, they DO seem to respond positively to bumping the memory clockspeeds up but I've not gotten series about tuning them yet.

Can u share some details ?
I'm stuck around 25 sols with 470 4Gb, stock bios, stock frequencies

Got a buddy running 290's he is getting 100mh on a rig of 5 of them ...we did not have much luck with i think he said 270x 3gb cards

Anyway I decided to get a rig so for about 2k complete .this will either work well or badly ...newegg should have the stuff here monday so wens at latest it should be up

Figure even if ZEC crashes and burns in an epic pump then dump at worst I'll go back late in the
game on ETC and maybe salvage  1000 bucks back from it all before doorstop. I have NO real
decent desktop for 10 years ...so keeping and selling extra cards (5 card rig) MAYBE it it all goes
pearshaped and ETH moves on to POS etc etc .ie doorstop I may be 500 to 750 usd down on this 'gamble'

but currently I'm betting it at least has enough legs that at worse it will go to NO? lower then LTC which is 0.0006 LTC to BTC if so I can string this along at that rate it is gonna be no more a gamble then an A4 asic with 1 year warranty on parts GPU vs 45 days on an A4 or same price (if you could find them) on a used 'supposely' at least 300mh Titan....(glad i passed on that A4)

Real issue is as you say 1) know your cards work ...even so we are gonna only try 1 card of this
on a rig if it works then open others if not the 1 opened card and rest go back to newegg on 30 day
replace and call it an 'ooops'

2) now wens of next week..after supposedly getting my rig up (buddy got another identical)....if next week is STILL as nuts...and making the BIG assumption you could even find workable GPU's will I build a 2nd rig on my 'guess/bet" at that point and continue slugging down the 'kool aid' with the other folks on the ZEC float parade?(I'm weak willed I am) Chinese curse" "may you live in interesting times" indeed

fun times.............damn every Xmas since 2013 the damn crypto 'kool aid' keeps getting stronger and better

my pair of 1070 cards are both getting about 31-33Sol/s each

I was wondering what a single 1070 can do on Zcash. I have CPU and GPU both on mine doing 43 Sol/s

My 1070 is a good overclocker but I suppose my i7-970 CPU is pulling anywhere from 10-13 Sol/s

 No and I have some doubts there will be.
 Unfortunately.


 Given how unstable the ZCash mining situation is right now, I wouldn't even think of trying to build an "optimal ZCash miner machine" - could very easily be a new "more optimised" miner show up the next week or even next DAY that works a ton better for the other side of the Red/Green debate and throws ALL calculations of optimal off.

Start here maybe build your own system with there parts builder which i use from time to time to get a gen idea on prices and what i need then i go shopping were i live .

nicehash bot miner does and takes less to use just enter inter your BTC address if you want it to pay in BTC or Zcash address i think it pays out in Zcash now .

https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=nhmintro you can set it to mine one coin or all it supports  but it only works on the pools they support and run.

you're right. now im getting ~22Sol/s per 270x card (undervolted)

Is there anything out yet for CPU or GPU Zcash mining on Windows 32bit?
Thanks..

Mining on my old laptop cpu i7-720QM using only 3 threads of 8 the speed is about 3,1 sol/s pic.

Lets say that I want to start from scratch to go and buy a system that could mine me the best zcash.

The specs will be?

Ram: ??
MotherBoard: ??
CPU:
GPU: ?
Hard drive: I know could be at least 500GB(latest model)

And is there any official software/miner that I could install and only need to set username, password, zcash address and all good to go?

Seems like anyone developing any coin forgets to spend some time to make the mining process as easy as registering on a site

I think only the developers should build miners and wallets for all operating systems to avoid any trojan and malware being introduced for a coin that could potentially destroy the trust people need to have to get involved in any crypto project.

Try genoil-zec-miner-0.4.2.zip https://github.com/Genoil/ZECMiner/tree/master/releases it did wonders for my  r9 280 it was doing 9 h aka sols i used it . it now does 30 h aka sols.

my r9 270x cards only get about 7sol/s each, and are a bit more profitable under ethereum. but from the 4xx card results i would have expected more like 10-15sol/ea

I´m mining ZEC in two ways:

1) I bought hashpower at Genesis Mining: 3 H/s for 145$. I bought it last thursday when ZEC was launching, but that was a little bit too late. So mining at Genesis has only started today. I have no idea, how much ZEC I will get for that hashrate...  and looking forward for my first payment.

2) I also mine with my old Macbook pro (2010 modell).  I´m poolmining (CPU) at zmine.io with a hashrate of only 1 Sol/s  That´s not really much... So far I´ve earned 0.00003649 ZEC 

Is there a way, to mine with GPU on my Macbook? Will I get a bigger Hashrate with GPU?

 Looks suspiciously like the same version http://zcash.flypool.org/ came up with - which was modified from the nicehash code which "borrowed" from previous code.

 Lotta "incest" going on in the ZCash miner world right now - optimally leading to a good high-performance works on all miner for a change!

IM using

genoil-zec .041 on

my three rx470 work great at stock around 25 to 28 sols

I put all mine back to  molded bios they do  30 to 35 sols .


it's not working on any thing below the 400 series but it looks like it being fixed .

Nicehash just released a new miner that can be used with any pool. If you are using nicehash do use my referral. thanks
