The hashrate jumps quite a lot because there are not that many miners. I guess that caused it. ---

Hey, that 2 hour test or so resulted in a payout of 2 coins. Again, this was on [zmine.io](http://zmine.io). I simply counted the blocks found that I was mining in. The pool shows a total hashrate and then your individual hashrate per block. I did have some zero share blocks as well which was weird. I factored those in to my avg as well. ---

Hello razakal!, Thank you very much by your recomendation for the miner setup, > [@razakal](#): > > I would suggest you to use this miner: > [GitHub - sarath-hotspot/zcash at standalone-miner](https://github.com/sarath-hotspot/zcash/tree/standalone-miner) > It’s a lot faster then the one made by Str4d. it is working really fast. ---

hello @razakal, when mining with more AWS EC2 instances at once, is it possible to point all the instances to the same Zcash address (as single worker) or is it compulsory to have a different address for each instance ? Thank you for supporting ---

Thank you! At the moment I have two m4.large instances pointing to Zmine since this night but, when searching the addresses I get the “No rounds were found” message in the site.

something strange or i do not understand about sharing reward computing 1. in home page is reported an hashrate about 25 30 Hs that is reasonable compared to around 430 on full network reported from [https://explorer.zcha.in/](https://explorer.zcha.in/) 2. i connect a standalone miner [https://zmine.io/workers/tmRdv8MJtJppci4pRAU1vaGxryfy8Bzz8jW](https://zmine.io/workers/tmRdv8MJtJppci4pRAU1vaGxryfy8Bzz8jW) with around 10 Hs 3. some block arrive but pool Hs explode to around 400 Hs so i get 10/400 part of reward … in the same time full network report more o less the same and do not report 430 + 400 as i expect … 4. I disconnect my miner and pool hash rate remain 400 Hs whit no relevant blocks found (if your pool has 50% of full network power you should get 50% blocks … and this is not found in reality) my be I am wrong but there is something i cannot explain to myself ---

The hashrate on the homepage has to be changed to take an average instead of the last round. Somebody is pushing a lot of hashrate now and then. I think this is nicehash testing their systems. ---

I followed the setup instructions for rc2 and then followed the instructions on the mining guide on the main github page ([Home · zcash/zcash Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/zcash/zcash/wiki/Mining-Guide)). Based on reading this thread, I should NOT use the RC2 miner but instead use one of the two miners found on [https://zmine.io/](https://zmine.io/). Is that correct? If yes, I should remove the miner instructions from the rc2 conf file so I don’t mine with that and instead mine with the miner from the pool site, correct? ---

I recommend to use the nicehash miner. It’s the most developed miner and it will support gpus. [Previous page](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zcash-pool-zmine-closing/2097.md?page=2) [Next page](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zcash-pool-zmine-closing/2097.md?page=4)
