Not relevant to mining here, but I remember instructions on what to do with that in the zcash 1.0 sprout guide if you find that one. For zmine go to first post, on front page of site there are instructions for installing a stratum miner. I recommend reading elsewhere in this thread and getting the sarath-hotspot version instead, with better instructions linked in one of my posts above. At the end, when running the miner, just use the command line from the front page of zmine under the nheqminer tab.
i actually finally figured it out. nobody would answer my questions. you do in fact change username and password. iāve already installed sarath-hotspot, so now i just need to choose a wallet and a pool. any suggestions on wallets? which pool do you belong to?
I mine here at zmine. I use the zcash default wallet.
okay, yeah, i just realized thereās a local wallet, which is stored somewhere in zcash/src/wallet although i canāt figure out which file the info is stored in. is there any reason you chose zmine over the others?
It works. Donāt have a reason to look for something else at the moment.
The file is wallet.dat I think, in the .zcash directory. Various commands can be found by searching zcash-cli here and elsewhere probably.
is the wallet secure or? i mean, you donāt wanna see all your time and energy go up in a puff of smoke 
Iām not sure any wallet is really secure unless itās an offline wallet. Google cold storage bitcoin for more information.
yeah, i had heard about those. theyāre supposed to be the most secure, which makes sense. comparatively cheap investment too if you have a lot of coins
Hi, i joined this pool!
Iām using Nheqminer, the shares displayed in the pool site are more or less the same the miner logs.
But the hashrate displayed in the pool site is a lot lessā¦
Any clue?
The hashrate displayed at the site lags a bit for some reason. Itāll catch up. Doesnāt affect anything and Iāve read other pools are the same way.
Welcome to zmine 
Hi @cerdaco I believe it takes about 24 hours for that to catch up as itās an average calculated over 24 hours.
I see directions on the site for two miners but no qualification of which one to use.
What is the difference between str4dās standalone miner, and NiceHashās miner?
I donāt know a lot about either of them, but the best current linux cpu miner to my knowledge is @sarath-hotspotās version of the nicehash with xenoncatās avx1 and avx2 extensions enabled. Scroll up/search this thread to one of my prior posts for link plus extra link to better install instructions and then run it with the command line options from the nicehash tab on the front page of zmine. Good luck.
Nice reward today for those that stuck in thereā¦
The network hashrate is over 10millionH/s nowā¦ Ho Lee Cao
Thanks! Iāll spin up some hosts after supper and weāll see what we see.
Zmine pool is up 2x+ over the past 24 hours or so too. Nice to see growth, especially in the face of all those network sol/s.
Installed sarath-hotspotās on a test machine. Some questions
- Use this to launch - yes?
./src/zcash-miner -stratum=stratum+tcp://zmine.io:1337 -user=tthisisnotarealt-addr -printtoconsole
(Iād remove the -printconsole, or run it inside tmux for āproductionā)
- Is there a specific benchmark test I can run against zcash-miner?
Are you copying from the str4d miner command? Sarathās should look more like this (with your address) under the nheqminer tab:
./nheqminer -l zmine.io:1337 \
-u tmGUdN9CE1wNb7znydNHYiyw8VzqmApnLrp
Every miner Iāve used will state their sol/s every few seconds, might take some time to gear up, maybe 15-30 minutes, thatās your quick benchmark to compare. Alternatively you can time your share generation to the pool, but that takes more manual work to measure and calculate. I canāt remember if nheqminer has a command line benchmark mode or not, some do, some donāt. I prefer to watch what it actually generates when running.
I followed the wrong link! Iāll rebuild and try again.
