This looks like if there were temporary no alive orders. Currently, most of the pools available are very unstable and have problems with connections. In such case, you may try -l usa or wait a bit. You can see status of orders here: NiceHash - Leading Cryptocurrency Platform for Mining and Trading

Hi,
Iāve just uploaded two video showing the use of the Nicehash Zcash miner for Windows & Ubuntu. Hopefully these will be useful for people getting starting with Zcash mining.

Thanks so much for the video.
Just a quick question though, how come some people are getting around 20 s/s on a cpu?
Using the cpu miner currently. It shows im connected to the EU stratum. Is there a US server that i can connect to? I have an i7 and xeon running around 17.17 h/s on nicehash.com currently. looks as though its working well on both machines. just need a closer server to connect.
Yes, there is USA server; add parameter -l usa

Super noobs question.
Can I solo mine for ZEC with your miner ? Or do I have to go through nicehash and get BTC ?

I7 4770 and its getting about 8.75 according to website.
thanks
Thought it was getting 17 on its own hehe
He said āI have an i7 and xeon running around 17.17 h/s on nicehash.comā in this case are 2 processors running at same time to get 17.17H/s
Yep! Two processors. Now i have all my rigs running 2 processes and currently sitting at around 50 h/s. A total of 10 processors. Now if someone will just make a opencl miner for my 380x cards i will be set.

nice man, thatās exactly what im working on.
I felt that everyone was getting ripped off with all the cloud mining and this might be proof.
We will release publicly available NVIDIA and OpenCL miner before Zcash launch date.
Donāt worry, we are working on it

You are freakin amazing. Cant wait. Will be happy to alpha test if needed. I have many different kinds of opencl cards, 380,380x,390, and 390x.
you guys rockā¦
have you guys tested any cpuās that can get around 20 s/s?
Someone has achieved this already but they wont share it unless they get paid.
