Zcash Pool Zmine CLOSING

Any ideas why this miner is not finding any blocks? Should I switch?
Also can someone tell me how the payment is calculated? Is it based on the ratio of my shares to total shares OR is it the ratio of my hash rate to total hash rate?
Also, why are some of my solutions being rejected? I have 643 accepted solutions and 58 rejected solutions. Is that normal?

There is not much I can do to get people to mine on the pool :p.
It is the choice of the miners if they want to give the control over the network to one pool.

We found another block! Got 0.005 from it, justified for a day of mining.
I think this is becoming a trend, long mining rounds with high payout. Didn’t know if I like it this way thou. Might think a bit more on this.

Out of curiosity, what hardware / software are you running? Guessing you’re getting about 60H/s?

Hi razakal!

Would it be possible for you to setup a Tor Onion Service (How can we help? | Tor Project | Support) for zmine.io? Would be really great if we could access it in a secure way over Tor. :slight_smile:

Thanks!

Hi, I’m mining on a Macbook Pro using Virtualbox assigning 4 CPU at an average hash rate of 4.5 H/s.
I’ve been mining for a day and have only accumulated 0.0004091 (+0.00009388 Unconfirmed). Minimum payout is 0.001. Am I completely wasting my time? Am I mad?

@lisbeth
That depends on how much people want this.

You can try other miners. There may be some around that work better with laptops.

Hi Razakal. I want to wait around until I get a minimum payout which I hope is soon, then I might try something else. Do you recommend any miners out there that would be good for the macbook pro? Maybe one that also uses the graphics card? thanks

Razakal, is it possible to reduce the minimum payout? Can you make it 0.0005 so miners like me actually get something from mining for a day? It is respectful to support the small fish :wink:

I am getting more hashes with nicehash versus str4d. Anyone know how to configure number of cores to use with nicehash? Is it already using my 4 cores? (with str4d you had an option when running it)

There is one thing you can do. Switch your nheqminer from the zmine frontpage to @sarath-hotspot’s version GitHub - sarath-hotspot/nheqminer: Equihash miner for NiceHash with xenoncat’s avx1 and avx2. And use @trolloniex instructions here: Xenoncat's solver integrated into nheqminer - #52 by trolloniex instead of readme, these work where the qmake instructions generate more problems.

That can double sol/s for those users who haven’t hunted down their own miner.

The minimum network fee is currently 0.0001.
If i lower the min payment to 0.0005 you would have to pay 20% when you try to send it somewhere else.

Hi,

a noob here and i apologise if questions are out of place. Is there a way to run the zcash-miner as a daemon?

Tnx!

I like zis pool…

It says the public balance of this miner is 10.187. Why is that the case? Shouldn’t the miner be paying its miners?

That looks closer to the total amount mined… The number of blocks found seem consistent with the hashrate. It seems fair.

It’s an honest question and maybe I’m misunderstanding something as some members here have said they have been paid by the miner but…
https://explorer.zcha.in/accounts/t1cXEed6nrizBXsxYtHd7ahPrjbP3RXofmX

Why has the miners still got 10.187 and no ZEC’s have been sent to any other addresses since the beginning?

This quote is confusing, and frankly I did not know it won’t send a payment if total of all payments is higher than 0.1.
With regards to ‘payment set at 0.001’ does this mean that for each block, if your share of the total reward is less than 0.001 then you automatically get nothing OR does this mean the payout INCREMENT is set to 0.001?

Secondly it is confusing that you have said 0.001 min payout is every hour YET you will only send payment if you have more than 0.1? It’s not clear. Please make this very clear. I’ve been mining for a few days now and think I’m going to get nothing. thanks. (I have over 0.001 now but haven’t been paid)

The explorer doesn’t recognize that it sends the ZEC to a protected addess.

It means the pool can only send as low as 0.001 ZEC when it can send a total of 0.1 ZEC in one transaction.
So the pool groups payments together or else it can’t pay the transaction fees which are 0.0001.

I haven’t tried running it as daemon but if you want to keep it while you’re away, this may be what you’re looking for: screen
I use this to run miners on remote/headless machines.
