• 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! 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! Minecraft BitcoinDark BTCD Server.

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.

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. How To Create A BitcoinDark BTCD Mining Pool more. 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.
