Using cpuminer-opt

Mining
1

Anyone managed to get cpuminer-opt mining z-cash? I’m using flyppol, but after executing:

cpuminer-westmere -a lyra2z -o stratum+tcp://eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 -u taddress.worker

I get errors:
Failed to get extranonce2_size

zcash (zec) do not use lyra2z algorithm, it use Equihash: Why Equihash? - Electric Coin Company

I don’t find option for equihash algorithm in the cpuminer-opt, but this article lists it as one of the best CPU miner for zcash.

The article is wrong. From the developer of cpuminer-opt: “cpuminer-opt can’t mine zcash” [LOCKED] cpuminer-opt v3.12.3, open source optimized multi-algo CPU miner

Thank’s for clarifying

I’m glad I could help :slight_smile:
