Figuring out how to mine Zencash was a bit tricky. That was mostly caused by the minimal availability of documentation/tutorials that can be found on the web. And what can be found seems to be outdated. I just wanted to give back and hope others can benefit from the research that I've already done.
Listed are the steps below: 1) Download a Zencash wallet Head over to the official Zencash website () and scroll towards the bottom. (I read iffy things about mining with the Web Wallet, so I'd stay away from that for now). You have a choice between using the Swing Wallet and the Arizen Wallet. If you want full functionality for shielded addresses and messaging using zk-SNARKs, then use the Swing wallet.
If you just want something simple that doesn’t need to download the full blockchain, use the Arizen wallet. I tried the Arizen wallet (because I hate having to download a blockchain), but it was really buggy and kept crashing. So I'd advise going for the Swing Wallet for now. 2) Download a mining software I'm going to be using the EWBF miner.
Head to this url () and download the latest release. (Hint, download the Zec.miner.###.zip file). (It is possible that your anti-virus software will flag it as potentially dangerous malware. It's a safe software and may be flagged as a false positive because of the.bat file extension the software uses).
Extract the files. 3) Choose a mining pool This step undoubtedly has the most options. I researched for a while and ended up going with Suprnova. (I first tried zen.miningspeed.com as they were simple, had basic instructions, and didn't require signing up, but after 12 hours of mining I didn't receive a single payout. That prompted me it was time to switch). You are free to choose a different pool, but the next step will be completed using Suprnova chosen pool. Make a free account here: zen.suprnova.cc Then go to the 'My Account' tab on the left side.
Input your payment address into the appropriate textbox (To find out your address, go to the Zencash wallet you just downloaded and - if you're using Swing - click the 'Own Addresses' tab. Right click the address and copy the value). I suggest putting '0.01' as the 'Automatic Payout Threshold' to most quickly verify everything is working at first (later on you can make this amount larger). Then hit 'Update Account'. Now go to the 'My Workers' tab. Give your worker a name (e.g.
'rig01') and a password (you can keep it 'password' if you like). Then 'Add New Worker'. 4) Configure the mining software In the files you extracted, you should find one called 'Start.bat'.
This is the file we will be modifying. Latest Emercoin EMC Miner. Right click the file and hit 'Edit'.
You can either erase the line of code currently in the file, or comment it out by prefacing it with 'rem' + a space. 'rem ', no quotes). Add the below line of code to the file: miner.exe --server zen.suprnova.cc --user your_username.your_worker_name --pass password --port 3618 Where 'your_username' is the username you chose when signing up with Suprnova. 'your_worker_name' is the name you chose to give to your worker.
'password' is whatever password you chose to give to your worker. Save the file.
5) You are now ready to mine Zencash! Just double click the 'start.bat' file and you will begin mining to your wallet! Be patient as payments may take a bit before you start to see them come in. Pro Tips 1) You can view your accumulated earnings before they are sent to your wallet automatically if you go to 'My Account' ->'Earnings' tabs on the left side of Suprnova. 2) Set your computer to go to sleep 'NEVER' when using the EWBF miner.
My rig went to sleep after 30 mins using that software. Other mining softwares I've used prevented the rig from going to sleep automatically, but EWBF does not do that, from my experience. I've recently jumped from Zenmine to Minermaniac (honestly mostly because Zenmine was constantly having server issues), and now I'm actively helping in decentralisation too. Way bigger payouts but way less frequently.
A block every 1-2 days or so. Not much of a 'price' to pay for decentralisation since the end result is more or less the same amount of earnings, if anyone's interested in joining. Pretty good community in their discord and Admin is really helpful and responsive.

But let's say you set the auto payout to 0.01 and you have a decent hash rate, it should only take an 1-3 hours before you get a payment (this is also due to the fact that payments lag behind a bit because even after you earn some Zencash from mining, they payments stay uncomfirmed for a period of time too).
Have you gotten any payment yet? Or at least, is your Earnings on Suprnova increasing when you look in your account tab? • • • • • • •.
