Sep 5, 2017 - Here are some good reasons to mine Zcash: Mining can. BTC can easily be sold for cash, so mining ZEC can be a good way to indirectly fill your bank account or earn cash. You can click the Download button for the current driver or choose Download Previous Drivers & Software on the right-hand side.

Here is a quick list of the latest CPU and GPU miners available for mining the Zcash (ZEC) that uses the Equihash algorithm used by the coin. Since most pools and miners are based on Stratum mining support you should be able to use them on almost all mining pools with support for ZEC. What you should be looking for is what works best on your hardware in terms of stability and what provides you with the optimal hashrate in order for you to maximize your profit. CPU mining is still viable as GPU miners are yet to be further optimized to be able to provide significantly higher hashrates, though you should know that the days of the CPU mining of ZEC are probably numbered. Because of the that Zcash has implemented the block reward is still growing, so even with price going down and the total network hashrate going up the overall profit for mining and selling Zcash remains pretty stable and most importantly pretty high compared to other crypto coins at the moment.

Because of that it is a wise decision to mine and sell Zcash at the moment until the end of the slow start of mining when the block reward will stabilize at the maximum level of 12.5 ZEC and that should provide a more stable price per coin than at the moment. Mining ZEC coins now and keeping the coins may result in them loosing significant value at least in short term, though in long term it might still be a viable option, so consider what to do carefully. Best CPU miners for Zcash: – (also supports CUDA and OpenCL)* Best AMD OpenCL miners for Zcash: – Best Nvidia CUDA miners for Zcash: – (also supports CPU and OpenCL)* * The nheqminer is available with hardcoded pools from nicehash, suprnova and other mining pools supporting Zcash, so make sure you download the correct version for the pool you are going to be mining.

Genoil’s latest ZECMiner is pretty much the fastest public OpenCL miner (Windows binaries only) for Zcash at the moment, though there are some stability issues with cards dropping to 0 Sol/s and the miner crashing. The situation improves with each new version, but the miner is still not that good stability wise. The latest Nheqminer supports OpenCL mining, but is slower than ZECMiner, even though stability wise it is better it is much better for CPU and CUDA mining though. Hopefully soon there will be other faster GPU miners that will offer more stability and features along the improved mining speeds, but for now you will need to do with what is currently available.

Bspus I´m mining to nicehash selling my CPU power, I just discovered that the best way is to download the oficial miner and then run it, it will run the benchmark and you can start mining zcash with it there is a option to see how is your progress go to nicehash site, then getting started, download the very left side software, install, run and you´l see for yourself. Or you go to the nicehash, go to the miner/seller drop down then my miner option then input the btc address you´re using and voila you will get a very nice web interface with your current results. To add when i try to add a pool and or worker on the nicehash site it wants me to enter in the details of a server and i mean i dont get that.

Why doesnt it just provide me with me and then allow me to type my worker and then press add and then its done, why the bloody pain. Anyways, i then went ahead and entered in a (what i thought was a valid pool server as per a website i used which was pertaining to zhash or equihas, and then it told me it is invalid) i dont understand why it just doesnt give a list of servers, which i did actually see on another page there but the thing is it wants me to set up the worker and i need to do all that pain. I am taking steps backwards here, i dont know what i am doing. Copyright ©2014-2018 - - All About BTC, LTC, ETH mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies.

• 10 shares • • • • • • is an open source cryptocurrency that focuses on the privacy element. This cryptocurrency is mineable utilizing the CPU, and/or GPU. It is a popular currency to mine with nVidia GPU’s as the algorithm hashes better on these GPU’s vs. Their AMD competitors.

The GTX series is the most popular for mining Zcash. There are other Equihash coins you can mine, such as bitcoin gold, but this will be covered in another guide. This guide will focus on how to get your equipment mining Zcash.

Before you start, always ensure that you have the latest appropriate drivers installed to ensure things go smoothly without crashing. Also note that almost all antivirus or anti-malware will pick this software up as malware. You can calculate your estimated mining rewards. First we will need to download some software to mine with. The software options for mining Zcash are: • CPU: Nicehash or Minergate • AMD GPU’s: • nVidia GPU’s: CPU Mining Possible with Nicehash or Minergate. Nicehash is good to use for easy setup, but the hash rate is around 30% less than if you set up your own mining software with Claymore or EWBF. We will therefore focus on GPU mining for this guide.

AMD GPU Mining If you have an AMD GPU, you’ll be utilizing Claymore’s Miner. Click the as shown, and extract to a folder of your choice. Once extracted we can configure the miner by editing the config file to set our Zcash address, and set our mining pool. The choices for Zcash mining pools are: • (1% fee) • (1% fee, 0.001 min. Payout) • (0.01 min. Payout) For this guide we will use Flypool.

Set your server address to your closest location. For me, i’ll select the US server as shown. Make sure to also include the port number. In the config.txt, I will insert ‘-zpool us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333’. Simply add your Zcash wallet to the wallet section by adding ‘-zwal YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS’.

Theres a few more things we need to do before we can start running the miner. First of all, we need to add this string of code to the config.txt, especially on 1-2GB video cards. This will ensure everything runs smoothly. Add this code to your config.txt file: GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1 GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100 GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1 GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 Your config file should look like the following.

Next, you will have to ensure you have the correct virtual memory enabled (minimum 16GB). To do this, search for system in the start menu. Open system and on the left hand side click ‘Advanced System Settings.’ Go under the advanced tab, under performance settings, and advanced again. Then click ‘Change’ under virtual memory. Uncheck the box that states to ‘Automatically manage paging file size for all drives’ and then input a custom size of 16384 (or whatever is the maximum allowable value up to 16GB) into the Initial and Maximum size fields. This will prevent you from having any errors with virtual memory.

And that’s it, you’re ready to mine for Zcash. Simply click the Start. Cpu Mine Ethereum Classic ETC here. bat file and you should start mining. You can also look up the statistics of your miners on the pool website that you’re using by inputting your public address. NVidia GPU Mining If you’re using a nVidia GPU,, and extract to a folder of your choice. Once extracted we can configure the miner by editing the start.bat file to set our Zcash address, and set our mining pool. The choices for Zcash mining pools are: • Nanopool (1% fee) • Flypool (1% fee, 0.001 min. Payout) • Dwarfpool (0.01 min.

Payout) For this guide we will use Flypool. Set your server address to your closest location. For the nVidia software, we will be configuring the start.bat file. Simply right click to edit in notepad. Once opened, we can set the server address, and your Zcash public address. For this guide we will use the ‘us1-zcash.flypool.org’ server, but choose the server closest to you. Your Start.bat file should now be configured similar to mine as seen below.

Next, you will have to ensure you have the correct virtual memory enabled (minimum 16GB). To do this, search for system in the start menu. Open system and on the left hand side click ‘Advanced System Settings.’ Go under the advanced tab, under performance settings, and advanced again. Then click ‘Change’ under virtual memory.
