Don’t use the benchmark it doesn’t work with Tromp solvers.
Use the official RC2 and just add equihash=tromp and gen=1 in the config
For testing point it to a pool that is running RC2
Going to follow this step by step right?
The only difference for this if you want to run on a pool is , find a pool that runs RC2 and follow their guide.
~/zcash/./src/zcashd -daemon -stratum=poolstratum -user=username.worker -password=yourpass -debug -printtoconsole
Will give it a go.
Thank you 
So help me out on last time, we are talking about pointing my rig at a pool.
/zcash/./src/zcashd -daemon -stratum=poolstratum -user=username.worker -password=yourpass -debug -printtoconsole
Is this a line that gets entered into the terminal or into the conf.
Does the username and password need to the same in the conf file and for the pool?
My only experience with pool mining is a pair of antminer s9’s which for all intensive purposes are plug n play.
I have no idea what speeds honestly. How do you check that? The Desktop wallet GuI says CPU 700℅ lol, that’s about all I can tell you. Though I didn’t have it running for very long.
Basically setup Zcash RC2 the way I said above without starting it with the daemon code.
Then go into a pool and check their guide.(for username or address etc)
Make the changes that are needed, and then in the zcash folder run that command and it should print out some random gibberish
No the username and pass are different. Nothing changes other than just running the command.
Ok so it’s basically the start command line. Well that explains a lot I’ll try that when I get home. pretty sure I was entering it into the terminal after having the server running.

Hello, krztoff5150:
Did you get the mining objetive or still you didn’t get to it?
I can help to you if you want.
Thank you very much.
If you follow the steps I wrote to you before, then:
1º)
To solo mining from your wallet:
cd zcash
./src/zcashd -daemon -genproclimit=Number of processor that you want to use
(remember gen=1 at zcash.conf)
2º)
To mining at a pool for example zmine.io, which I can recommend to you:
cd zminer
./src/zcash-miner -stratum=stratum+tcp://zmine.io:1337
-user=tmGUdN9CE1wNb7znydNHYiyw8VzqmApnLrp
You must delete from zcash.conf the gen=1, if you have
turned on your zcash wallet at the same time that you are
mining at this pool.
You must set up your own t address.
To do this you follow this steps:
1º) cd zcash
2º) if zcash daemon is running:
./src/zcash-cli stop
3º) delete from zcash.conf gen=1
4º) ./src/zcashd -daemon -genproclimit=Number of processor that you want to use
5º) ./src/zcash-cli z_exportwallet /20161024
6º) gedit /20161024
Look for, for example the first t_address in that document.
7º) Finally:
cd zminer
./src/zcash-miner -stratum=stratum+tcp://zmine.io:1337
-user=Your_t_address
HAPPY MINING!

You are talking about 2 different versions that are basically the same thing.
In RC2 the zcash-miner solver/miner is already implemented so no need to even compile that.
Also gen=1 is a standard for RC2 to mine and also adding genproclimit=Xcores to the config file is needed only once. Using equihash=tromp is basically the zcash-miner in the official release.
Please stop confusing users that are having issues.
I only am helping to people who ask to me, I am doing my best answer.
