Sep 5, 2017 - BTC can easily be sold for cash, so mining ZEC can be a good way to indirectly fill your bank account or earn cash. ZEC can also be sold directly on. Able to properly mine Zcash. This is a correction from the video, as EWBF supports GPUs with just 1 GB of RAM, compared to Ethereum's 3 GB requirement. This Zcash Mining Guide is geared towards the absolute beginner that wants to begin mining Zcash but has no experience. How to mine ZCash (ZEC) - Part 1. Oct 26, 2016 You can come at it from another angle: in order to make 1 ZEC each day, you need to control 1/7200 of the entire mining network. That's roughly 0.014% of the network. If there were just 7,000 Radeon 470s mining at the same hash rate, then it won't matter what that hash rate is, you'd need about 1 of them to make 1 ZEC each day. For this work a miner can receive Zcash (ZEC). How long it will take to mine all 21M coins due to future. Resources for the Zcash community and are not. How long does it take for Zcash transactions.

ZCash is the first zero knowledge crypto protocol. Zcash offers total payment confidentiality, while still maintaining a decentralized network using a public blockchain. Unlike Bitcoin, Zcash transactions automatically hide the sender, recipient, and value of all transactions on the blockchain. Only those with the correct view key can see the contents.

Hi, I am in the process of building a mining specific rig. I ordered 8 Nvidia 1070 cards from Amazon USA, then just today I got informed that they are out of stock and I had to cancel my order. So now I am in a bind, I have a motherboard on the way (ASUS PRIME Z270-A), CPU, memory, 2 power supplies, etc. So I am thinking of just buying some 1080 ti's instead. I guess I can start with 3 and then see what happens.

Is this a good idea? The only problem I see is that I initially orders 2 of thse power supplies: 2 of EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2, 80+ GOLD 750W. In anticipation of 8 1070's. Could they handle 8 ti's connected to my motherboard? Or get a 3x 1000W and have 3 Ti's on one, 2 Ti's / components on one, and 3 Ti's on another - this will keep all 3 power supplies about 70% load near their highest efficiency I think so many people disregard what their house can even fucking take.

Hshare HSR Mining Return more. A 8 Ti rig is every bit of 18A and that's without overclocking. Managing your house breaker circuit and knowing what your outlets can handle is very, very important. Nexus NXS Mining Will End there. I live here in Tokyo, and in my apartment I have a 50A/100VAC breaker ( I could upgrade to a 60A one if I wanted, but then they raise the price of electricity, thanks TEPCO ) Well I just found out that out of the 8 1070's that I ordered and sub-sequentially cancelled, 3 of them did NOT get cancelled and are on their way right now.

Now I am in a bind, do I get the remaining 5 1070s or do I buy 5 1080ti's to make a complete set of 8? Can I mix and match 1080ti and 1070's on the same motherboard? Windows was a giant dick head to me when I mixed and matched I believe Linux will basically run whatever the hell you throw at it, I just don't have the time right now to learn a new OS And dude.

50A/100VAC is going to be dicey AF if that's what the entire apartment has to run on, unless you meant that that's just one circuit on your breaker. Just for reference, I have 200A service with: 10 - 20A circuits for general shit 2 - 50A circuits for the AC unit(s) (I have 3 floors at my place) 2 - 40A one for heater one for water tank (I think? Those are the only ones that were hard to map because, they're not running in the summer for the most part, water heater is but) 1 - 30A for the stove? If you have ONE 50A breaker. I just don't think mining is feasable for you, you'll be tripping your shit whenever something kicks on lol, unless you have. But AC potentially hogs like half your service​ alone.

You may be in a bigger bind than you may even know. If it turns out I'm not full of shit, do some research on your own and decide if you got a snowballs chance in hell at mining where you're at and either never open stuff and sell the Nvidia cards for mass profit (similar to AMD a month ago, hopefully). Find a buddy?

You'd have to see what other big hitters you have in your apartment for electricity, is everything electric? Oven, range, heat? If you can narrow down the circuits (like you have on big breaker at the top for 50A service, perhaps you have a few 15A small ones that feed circuits) you could just rig up to whatever that suckers threshold is and plug literally nothing else into that circuit It's also a matter of the efficiency of your power supply, just because a card uses 130W doesn't mean anything, if your power supply is a good 90% efficient one you need 145W from the wall for it. And at 100VAC that's a mind boggling 1.5A (or 3% of your total service for a low end mining card) None of the tutorials ever talk about the electricty. Lol and it's the main problem, thank God I capped myself or I wouldn'tnt have been able to stop buying rigs • • • • •. Yeah, everything here is Gas, Gas stove, Gas Oven ( small oven, they don't really use ovens in Japan for some reason ) The ONLY think electric that I bought is the combined A/C - Heater units ( which I don't use now, but in the summer I am sure I am going to need to turn on the A/C ) Here is a link to my breaker box: After looking at my picture, your right, the AC ( 2 of them ) have their OWN 20A connections.

The washer/dryer has its own 20A connection, the rest are the different rooms electrical outlets. You need to click on the picture to zoom in. SO can I buy 5 1080 ti's and will they work or do I have to settle for 1070's?

I am new here and I started mining zcash on my home laptop and it is working for me in a satisfactory rate. I have a intel core i3 processor qith 4 GB RAM, no GPU and I am getting somewhat 0.0002 zec per day.

So, what triggered me is that, I can buy a new system multiple time faster than my current PC. I just want to know if the investment is worth it.

Should I buy hardware and start mine or simply buy zcash and hold it? Is there any future for zcash (like litecoin, moner coin etc) or it is going to be dumped like Bytecoin? It really depends on what you want ZEC for, what you think the future value of ZEC will be. Personally, if I were buying to hold, for future gain, the relative growth of BTC makes more sense to me and my personal situation. I trade BTC on a regular basis for profit.

I currently mine ZEC, before that I was mining ETH. I look at what the most profitable alt (in terms of BTC) is, and that's what I mine. Everyday I exchange the ZEC I mine for BTC, as for me, there's 'more' relative growth in BTC than in ZEC. One of the other reasons I exchange to BTC is so that I can exchange the BTC to my FIAT currency, or at least consider the FIAT value, and know how long the rigs will take to pay for themselves, or more to the point now, buy more hardware and build more rigs. Currently my rigs deliver a collective 2.5KH/s (which is tiny really), and this yields 0.24-0.26 ZEC a day, depending on network complexity. That takes 9 GPUs, and I have space to add 3 more before I have to build another rig. You have to do your own research, and factor in your situation.

Hope that at least helps you a little - I remember when I started out, very few people were willing to share their actual numbers/yields. People like you welcome newbies warmly to get the feel. I am not a BTC trader.

But the last few months (specifically from August, 2016), I came to know about cryptocurrencies, tried faucets, tried mining on my own, got some and it made me enthusiastic about cryptocurrencies. I know, its real late to start mining anything. But still, ZEC, XMR, AEON, BCN shows some hope. I have really small portions of them mining. While BCN is fastest mining but ZEC/XMR on the Other hand shows some real value in Fiat currencies. AEON is so so from my experience.

Let me tell you the details, With 2 weeks of mining (not regular minng) on two laptops, First is i5 with 16 GB RAM Second is i3 with 4 GB RAM I got the following, 0.01 XMR, 530 BCN, 1 AEON. And I starter yesterday mining ZEC (Some 12 hours passed), I got 0.00013 ZEC Do you think, this is a good yield? Can you suggest if I should continue? Should I buy hardware and start mine The answer varies between 'definitely not' and 'maybe,' depending on how much you pay for electricity. A $200 GPU will currently mine about $36/month in ZEC while costing about $10/month in electricity (at $0.10/kWh), for a profit of $26/month.

The mining difficulty will increase over the next few months. I'd guess you'd only be making about $15/month in profit after two months, and $10/month in profit after four months.

Chances are you wouldn't make your money back this year. If you think it might be fun, and don't care much about whether you make a profit, then go for it.
