Miner- [NiceHash] Zcash CPU/GPU for Linux and Windows

no change for my i7 4820k :frowning:

Will anyone be delivering a hacked version of the nicehash equiminer in order to point at a different pool an enable zec pyouts

Of course, there will be one since it’s only an hardcoded value.

this is why i say lets let nicehash work a deal with suprnova or another reputable pool so all this work they are putting in and releasing software is absolutely rewarded

Do I get paid for the tests on NiceHash we run right now? :slight_smile:

It’s a P2P market so someone is paying for it…

yeah right … was joking :wink:
@nicehashdev you are making a really great job!:+1:

So a $100 GPU (R9 380) gets 25Sol/s while Toomin Bros / Genesis want $2000 for Cloud mining.

Yes, you are actually being paid for this. We have buyers already placing orders to mine on testnet! And yes, they pay real BTC for it.

That is why I am saying; if you currently mine on NiceHash, you are actually paid (elsewhere, you are not paid, you only get worthless zcash test coins).

all cloud mininer have to change their prices. Look at genesis mining. You have to pay 280 USD for 6H/s therefor you can buy your own rx480 and get ~25 Sol/s

Yes. Cloud Mining is seldom if ever worth the money if you can mine on your own machines. And those who can’t are usually better off just buying the currency they want and holding it. But some people feel they have to be doing something.

Oh…please…!! We need AMD (Linux) version today!!! :heart_eyes::yum:

They don’t have to change their prices so long as people are willing to just throw money at them without thinking.

At the end of the day, businesses charge whatever the market will provide them. No customers, the price goes down. Insane FOMO, the price goes up.

The warnings have been out there but people just ignored them.

Cloudmining is and always has been long on hype, short on value for money.

Nicehash on the other hand is an open market which seems to have prices more in line with reality on most algorithms.

No hype, just hash.

The github tag v0.2a and the window binary with the same version number do not correspond to the same code. The windows binary contains the xenoncat solver, which is absent from the github repo. The disclaimer in the window binary reads “thanks to tromp and xenoncat” whereas the disclaimer in the HEAD of the github repo reads only “thanks to tromp”.

So what is “tag v0.2a” supposed to mean if it refers to two different version, including one that hasn’t been released?
Even more confusing, the windows binary are released supposedly with the source code zipped in an archive. That’s what it seems from the v0.2a release page on github. But in fact it turns out that the code archive shipped with the binary is the good old github code without the latest updates included in the binary. That’s really misleading, because people are effectively running a binary which they think is opensource and shipped with the source, when in fact what they are running is a closed source binary that doesn’t correspond to the source code shipped with it.

I think that’s not proper @nicehashdev. I have no problem if you decide to keep some of your code private, and I appreciate everything that you have released so far. But shipping something as opensource using the same version number as a Github tag, when in fact the binary doesn’t correspond to said sourcecode and github tag is really misleading. If you are going to turn your miner into a closed source product for the launch version, please be explicit about it.

You do.

Sorry for the trouble, I had no intentions to add source code, because clearly, it would not match, but GitHub does that automatically. There were requests of people for WIN bins and I gave them what they wanted.

This miner will not be closed, it cannot be.

Well that sums up that!

go nicehashdev go! :slight_smile:

Until you release the source, can you at least release linux binaries for Ubuntu so that the (significant) number of people who run under linux are not left running at 50% of the speed of their windows counterparts on launch day? Of course having the source would be even better, but that’s your call so long as you are clear about what’s open source and what’s not when you release it.

The issue of us not releasing source is not some magic vu du that we want to keep it hidden, but because we don’t have code fully crossplatform yet. On the contrary to most of devs, we first develop for Windows, then we port to Linux, so code needs to be revised to be crossplatform. When this is done, it will be on GitHub + OpenCL miner + all bins for Windows.
