I have routed my miner to flypool for the past few hours averaging 9.8 sol/s but so far have not seen any balance. Pool status showed last mined block was 4 hours ago. Is it so tough for the pool to even get a block now?
Network difficulty on the testnet is constantly increasing as more miners are getting ready for the launch. This currently causes longer round times on the pool.

@peter_zcash. Will your pool work with this open source gpu miner? Thanks!
EDIT: Sorry, missed your msg above… please disregard. 
i would also love to see a fork of that miner that works with the pool any chance guys?
eXtremals gpu miner looks good but atm it will only work on coinsforall
pool and tbh i dont know how good that pool will be, would like to use
flypool as you have a good rep. would be great if you can accept it on your pool i know its not stratum but seems to be the fastest gpu miner and
works in windows as well for people like me that dont know how to use
linux and tbh ive had to learn so much just to be able to mine
Many thanks
After a lot of investigation on the pool communication protocol of the eXtremal GPU miner we are confident that we will be able to provide a connection option for this miner before the launch date. Nevertheless Nicehash seems to be close to releasing a competitive stratum enabled CPU & GPU miner which we will, most likely, support out of the box.

will that be windows based or linux?? ive just tried the eXtremal miner on
my rig and i am getting 18 sol per card they are rx470 nitro+ OC 8gig
im sure they can be pushed more that was standard clock.
So can i take it that one way or another you will have a gpu miner
ready by launch
just tried it on modded rig getting 19/20 sol and pulling 410 w at wall
with 4x rx470 nitro+oc including m/b etc
Many thanks
This is what I’m waiting for. Really like nheqminer but want to keep my ZEC while I mine on my CPU and GPU.
Do u allow to store Zcash on pool till a windows wallet is released?
tryed to compile your fork with vs2013. I could compile it but receive every start follow message:
Debug Assertion Failed!
Program: …\Downloads\nheqminer-master\nheqminer\x64\Debug\nheqminer.exe
File: f:\dd\vctools\crt\crtw32\exec\system.c
Line: 73
Expression: *command != _T(‘\0’)
For information on how your program can cause an assertion
failure, see the Visual C++ documentation on asserts.
Also the hashrate is really slow =) 1h/s receiving over 20h/s on original binary …
We have patched the recently released Windows nicehash CPU & CUDA miner in order to work with the pool. You can find the patched binary in our github at https://github.com/etherchain-org/nheqminer/releases/tag/0.2
Unfortunately as nicehash did not release the source of their updated miner we were unable to make this version compatible with other pools out there. As soon as nicehash releases the source of their updated miner we will provide a generic pool version.
Full command to connect to the pool:
nheqminer.exe -u tmUj1yAM1dr1Q2p4WHPivreSHuSdC3sc7V3.rig1 -l eu1-zcash
Where tmUj1yAM1dr1Q2p4WHPivreSHuSdC3sc7V3 is your Zcash address and rig1 is your worker name.
Check out the -h switch for all available options. Please note the changed server names:
EU1: eu1-zcash
US1: us1-zcash
CN1: cn1-zcash

Will this patched miner support AMD GPUs?
I am looking for a comparable AMD GPU supported miner just like this Nicehash miner that you have patched.

awesome, that was fast.
I’m having the same issue 0ldPaul. Did you make any progress?
Unfortunately not 
Nice work - super fast turnaround.
this is my 1st time using a win miner hah.
Is there any way to specify no of cpu cores to use in this binary? Am using my own working desktop so would like to leave a few cores for that. → found that out myself - just use -t 10 for say 10 threads etc
well done again
First, youre compiling with Debug config, switch to Release config. And replace system(“”) with system(" ") in main.cpp to fix this Debug Assertion issue.

does this run with Nvidia GPU’s? seems only the CPU is hashing
add -cd 0,1,2 (etc etc)
