#GENOIL ZCASH MINER SOFTWARE#

There are no Windows binaries for this, however other mining software authors have been implementing the solvers too. The SilentArmy solver by Marc Bevand is widely considered to be the fastest. Here’s how the mining software stacks up currently: SilentArmy: Most of the testing for the Open CL miners seems to be around the RX 480 cards, so I’ve found the miners to be a little slower less stable on my older cards. My rigs are a little old, housing mostly 7950 and R9 280X cards.

#GENOIL ZCASH MINER DRIVERS#

My woes with Ubuntu and AMD drivers are a whole other topic so I decided to try mining to a pool on Windows.Īt the time of writing there are three main Windows miners for AMD cards that I’ve been able to play around with. The ZCash wallet is only available on Linux at the time of writing. I get a lot of my crypto news from CoinDesk who are invested in ZCash, so that might have something to do with it – but either way I was interested enough to give mining a go at launch. I won’t go into a technical comparison of competing coins, but suffice to say that no other anonymous coin has enjoyed quite the marketing push that ZCash has.

ZCash is supposed to be truly anonymous in a way that Bitcoin never was. Recently however, I couldn’t help but notice the hype surrounding ZCash. I’ve been mining Ethereum for some time and until recently no new coin launch has caught my attention enough to move my hashing power. I’ve been playing around with Bitcoin and alt currency mining since 2013, initially building a couple of GPU rigs to mine Litecoin and then diversifying across all manner of coins and algorithms. Here’s how I got on, mining to a ZCash pool on a Windows GPU mining rig. bat.txt file.ĭouble click on start-sse2-suprnova.bat to start the mining program.Īllow the program access through your Firewall if required.ZCash launched on October 28th among some of the craziest price volatility imaginable.
