Claymore's ZCash/BTG AMD GPU Miner v12.6 (Windows/Linux)

[HardwarePal]

For those looking for solid pools the only ones I like are

Flypool flypool.org - Big pool with nice stats from the Etherminer guys
Zogpool zogpool.org  - Small pool from one of the Zogminer open source miner developers (add -allpools 1 to config to get this one working with Claymore)

Nice to see that improvement in hashrate, but I think it won't change that ZCash is doomed compared to Ethereum.

i would love to see some developing towards vulcan api instead of only openGL . it would be very interesting . maybe it has some potential .
i am just starting to learn code writing so i have next to 0 skills .

It's not OpenGL, it's OpenCL. Nothin' to do with Vulkan here, it's not a 3D shooter.

im just asking stupid things because im new to all of this . as i said i have next to 0 skills .
anyways thx for clearing it .

actually increasing the hash will not give you anything, because everyone will have his hash increased, only nvidia is screwed on zcash at the moment because of no optimization

back to mining eth i think

[SparkIt]

How can mining Eth be good if this isn't?

I get 15MH/s Eth mining, 170H/s ZEC.
With ETH my GPU load is 99%, with ZEC it's 50-60%. So let's say 300w ETH, 200-250W ZEC. I get $0.8-0.9 mining ZEC, $0.2 mining ETH.

Sure, I'm not mining either atm, I'm mining a coin with low market cap but low diff (I earn about $2 á day)

EDIT: And sure, the price is dropping. But if you sell ZEC and then buy ETH with the profits, you'll get more by mining ZEC right now.

Just wait until Nvidia optimizations happen (in the pipeline for Optiminer shortly), ZEC will get pummeled.

Had trouble with V7 crashing on start, fresh windows install fixed it (10)
Results
280x       169
280x       180
280x       182
290        192
fury (no x) 239

All stock bios no OC

Whats the power consumption of 280x on stock using v7?

hope this gpu will kill all those old gpu, make zec mining profitable again

How? everyone will just start buying these new cards...

Is ZEC more profitable than ETH?

[yarikss]

Claymore tell me honestly! You got a miner was from the Begin on ZEC, you are right now, gradually spread the new version, even though they have long have you!

Is ZEC more profitable than ETH?

not anymore, it's way lower, assuming a rig of 1000(6 x 480)sol versus the same rig that do 180MH it's 0.002 worst, conusmption is also higher i guess or on par

[Ursul0]

Is ZEC more profitable than ETH?

you need to figure out yourself - it depends on the cards(for older cards the gap is narrower), but for Rx400 ETH/ETC is currently about 20% more profitable than ZEC

What bios/settings r u using to get 180MH from your rig? I have low power bios and have 170mh, on this 180mh was unstable. Is all fine on your rig?

You can use calculators like cryptocompare (dot) com to see the actual difference between mining ETH, ETC and ZEC. But don't forget that ZEC mining uses less electricity (at the moment).

I think it has not much to do with hashing power but with coin trading. Let suppose you build a nonster rig and you use Claymore miner, you will get some great profits for some days, but as the ZCL and Zcash price drops, you will be switching to eth/etc sooner or later, moreover if we take into account the dual mining option.

I think the market will give is the chance to switch between currencies, I mean: as the eth difficulty rises you will get fewer coins for the same work, and in the meantime the zec/zcl difficulty wil fall some points. People will drop eth and to move to zec, and on, and on, and on, until both currencies's difficulty is so high that you wil have to upgrade your card.

But in all those sceneries the price will play an stellar roll. It's my opinion.

Cheers.

And don't forget that despite of the ZEC price is going down, the block reward (mining reward) is increasing till the end of November. And also the miner software's performance is enchancing day by day. Thanks to Claymore : )
