Zcash ZEC Mining Hardware

DigiByte DGB Software Mining Windows.

• The basic concept of a mining rig is to have an open case where you could mount your video cards, motherboard, PSU and a storage device/SSD. See for an example of how one looks like and how you could actually make it yourself for cheap! • The ideea is to use all video cards on PCI-E risers to align the videocards at the top and to keep a distance from one to another so that each card stays relatively cooled for the time performing. • As power supplying one powerful PSU or two medium sized could be used (but you might need some extra adapters) • Storage is needed for holding the OS so anything could be used (from HDDs, SSDs to usb flash-drives) BUT you want to minimize your power consumption to achieve more profit right?

So you should go with the cheapest SSD on sata 3 interface you can find on the market. Before we begin, let’s hed down to bitcointalk official link and look over instructions and release notes: OR just go to! 🙂 In this example we are going to use biggest pool in the chain:, and a zec wallet adress from poloniex.com!

The first question everyone asks once they have decided to try Zcash mining is “What hardware is best to mine with?” This question is not easily answered because there are many improvements in hardware and software happening on almost a weekly basis. To start, mining falls into one of two general categories. Sep 5, 2017 - Ever since ZEC hit the market, it's been one of the highest-priced altcoins in the market, battling with Ethereum to be the highest-priced altcoin and peaking. So if the amount of hardware dedicated to Zcash mining is rising, why aren't blocks being mined more and more rapidly to decrease the average. Dec 26, 2017 - Ledger Nano S - The multi-currency hardware wallet. Monero – 900 H/s. As, we are assembling this mining rig for Zcash we will mine ZEC. So, let's calculate the hashrates –. With 1 GPU you will get = 750 Sol/s. With 8 GPU you will get 750 X 8 = 6000 Sol/s. The power consumed by GTX 1080TI is. May 22, 2017 - When we built a new image with Pascal GPUs we found that NVIDIA GPUs can keep up profitability in-line with using AMD GPUs to mine Zcash or Monero. Editor's Note: We ran this analysis on 20 May 2017 when Zcash's coin ZEC was $104 USD to 1 ZEC. By the early morning Pacific time of 22 May 2017.

ZecMiner64.exe -zpool -zwal. -zpsw x All we need to do is replace with “eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333”, and. With your zec wallet.user. ZecMiner64.exe -zpool eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -zwal t1fBvv6ULJbGs9ET9BdSjfemvo3xcye1qi6.user -zpsw x It should start mining in no time! Visit the pools website, input your wallet adress at the top-right corner of the screen and click “check status”, if the miner found at least one share, you should see your mining stats there. Before we jump into the mining, head to bitcoin talk link and find out about EWBF’s CUDA Zcash miner: OR you could just hit 🙂 After you extract the Zec Miner package you will already find predefined.BAT files for known pools, but for the sake of learning, let’s create a new one and set it up and ready to work with the zcash.flypool.org! So go and create a start.bat file with notepad and add the following code: miner.exe –server –user.

–pass x –port now replace those and with desired values (in this exampel we will use the ones from flypool) miner –server eu1-zcash.flypool.org –port 3333 –user t1fBvv6ULJbGs9ET9BdSjfemvo3xcye1qi6.rig0 –pass x You should see the miner starting to work. Enjoy and don’t forget to visit the website of the mining pool, input your wallet into the box upper right corner and click Check Status for mining stats and payments!

Zcash Open Source Miner Challenge Winners! On October 28, 2016, the made ZEC coins available for mining. Since Zcash is an open source, decentralized cryptocurrency, we believe that mining for ZEC is an important way to help strengthen and decentralize the Zcash community, contribute to computer science, and win our gratitude and a prize. Mining should be available to everyone, regardless of their access to specialized hardware; anyone should be able to use a computer to “mine” by using open source software, and add more transactions to the Zcash ledger to possibly get Zcash coins in return for their effort. By distributing the ability to perform mining with open source software, the Zcash network can be a more accessible and a truly community-supported cryptocurrency. To achieve this, we need open source miners for anyone to use. The Zcash Company sponsored the operated.

The Winners and Runners Up of this challenge are listed on the page. Incentivizing the creation of open source miners will enable a wider community to mine for Zcash coins and take ownership of the network as a public good. While we expect a full range in size of Zcash miners to exist, the more individuals who run a miner (whether GPU or CPU) the stronger the network.
