Bill of MaterialsĮquipment list – Links are to Newegg or Amazon or Parallel Mining product page Plug that into the Equihash numbers at Coinwarz, and you’ll see Zcash comes out pretty good. First year mining pays for itself, then it’s making you money. In January of 2016, this box generates $250/month of Zcash, and uses about $50/month of electricity, for a net of $200/month, or $2400 per year. This box uses 7 amps at 240 VAC – 1600 Watts of power. This same basic setup can be used to mine for Ethereum and Monero also.Ĭheck out the Stats – 2515 Hash/second. It’s set up to run headless on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with the latest AMD drivers. I built a new 6 GPU mining rig and got things going. So when Claymore came out with a Linux version of the Zcash miner, I was very happy. Windows was rebooting at inconvenient times for updates, and I hated having to VPN in and get a GUI going with NoMachine just to make a change. When I need to check on the miner, or reboot it, I want to be able to SSH to it directly, make the change, and be done. Fabulous performance, no problems.Įxcept I don’t like Windows 10.

It was good, but Claymore’s Windows version was 3 times as fast! I moved the machines to Windows 10 and ran the Claymore miner. The first miners I built for Zcash used the SilentArmy miner for Ubuntu. I wanted to mine Zcash also, and found that the AMD R9 Fury cards were better than the AMD RX480’s. I really like the AMD RX480 cards, and recently moved my Ethereum miners to using Claymore’s mining code. I’ve been building mining rigs using Ubuntu linux for a while now. These will usually pay for themselves in one year, including the cost of electricity. They are multipurpose, and can be used to mine many different crypto-currencies. GPU mining rigs are just as profitable as Bitcoin mining, the products are easy to purchase, and the GPU cards have a 2 year warranty in case you burn them out. If you want to get started in crypto-currency, and have a little bit of technical knowhow, I recommend you build a GPU mining rig first. But the equipment is noisy, expensive, and hard to get.

I was unable to find any zcash mining calculators, so I wrote a short python calculator.Latest version of my guide to building and operating a mining rig is here, How to Build a 6 Rig GPU Miner for Zcash and Ethereum with Nvidia GTX 1070 and EthosDistro posted on Steemit.īitcoin is getting all the press, and Bitcoin mining can be profitable. A version including silentarmy's kernel is in the works. Genoil has released a miner, but only Windows binaries with tromp's kernel at this time. Increasing the core clock on the R9 380 cards from 900Mhz to 1Ghz increased the performance by 3-4%. I experimented with the worksize and threads values in config.txt, but was unable to improve performance compared to the default 256/8192.

Under Ubuntu with fglrx drivers I get about 11 solutions/s for both R7 370 and R9 380 cards.

#ZCASH MINER FOR UBUNTU DRIVER#

On Windows running driver version 16.10.1 I get about 26 solutions/s with a Rx 470. I get the best performance with the silentarmy kernel, but with only one instance as running 2 instances results in a crash.

#ZCASH MINER FOR UBUNTU SOFTWARE#

Windows and Linux binaries can be downloaded from coinsforall.io, the pool the software is designed for. I have been using eXtremal's miner version 0.2.2, which uses OpenCL kernels from the zcash open-source miner competition. Miners using the "z" address have apparently had problems receiving their zcash payouts from mining pools. A bug in the zcash network software has meant problems with private transfers, so it is recommended for miners to use only transparent wallet addresses until the bug is fixed. Zcash has both private address starting with "z", and public or transparent address starting with "t".

Despite the low mining reward rate, mining pool problems, and buggy mining software, I was able to earn 0.005 ZEC in one day with a couple rigs. Even after 24 hours, 1 ZEC is trading for about 6 BTC, or US$4300. However the first hour of trading on Poloniex saw zcash (ZEC) trading at insane values of over 1000 bitcoin per ZEC. I did not expect zcash mining to be immediately profitable, since mining rewards are being ramped up over the first month. Zcash promises private transactions, so that they cannot be viewed on the public blockchain like bitcoin or ethereum. Zcash is the hottest coin this month, after going live on October 28th, following several of months of testing.
