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

Very nice!

I see the miner only shows CPU and CUDA though. Are you busy with any OpenCL development?

Also, is the new miner expected to be released on or before the 28th?

Hi all , forgive me as I am very much all new to this .
Getting the following after trying to run the miner on ZEC Supernova :

I used :
./nheqminer -l zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -u hubfreightbob.bob1 -p password -t 4

Anyone that can help get me running ?

For -l parameter you can only use eu, usa, hk or jp.

We are working on OpenCL too. Plans are to have publicly available miner by 28th.

Does that mean I cannot pool up with ZEC supernova ?

Not with the miner bins we released (we released only for mining on NiceHash). You may want to check out forks of it as we also released the source code.

Can you direct me to your page for pooling with NiceHash ?

Use your BTC address like this: -u YOURBTCADDR

And check your stats here: NiceHash - Leading Cryptocurrency Platform for Mining and Trading

Do you plan to have a release of the v0.2a on Github shortly or do we have to wait until 28th?

We are still testing things and finalising, not everything is ready yet.

Here, tested two GTX 970 using tromp’s solver.

Cant wait. I have over 50 AMD 380x cards so i hope you guys have a good solution for me soon! :slight_smile:

I have 40 AMD GPU waiting your miner… :grin:

It seems your CPU miner is faster than your GPU miner?

Yep, xenoncat solver is superbly fast :wink: xenoncat did a great job

Will the miner still be available for Linux when the final build is released?

Yes. We are working on Windows and Linux platforms. We may even offer Mac solution.

Hi!

When trying to build I got this:

I am currently running Tromps from minezcash.com - is there a guide anywhere to implement xenoncat in linux??

Question: Is it possible to mine ZEC with nicehash and receive ZEC? I ask because mining seems to require a BTC address and thus BTC seems to be the only payout possible. Am I just confused?

With us, you can either mine with your equipment and get paid in BTC or you can pay in BTC to get Zcash mining power (just place an order at NiceHash - Leading Cryptocurrency Platform for Mining and Trading).
