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

[needhelp2]

Some of these comments are just ridiculous, way too many noobs getting involved in mining.

Yes, Claymore V9 will make ZEC price go up! ZEC Difficulty will go down! Zec block reward will also go up! Because that's the way it works.

Everyone is a Newbie sometime

V9 will increase Network HashRate > Difficulty will go up
Mining software has no affect on Block rewards this is controlled by Coin Developers Algo
Price is not directly affected by the mining software. It is purely Supply and Demand,  If you are willing to sell your coins CHEAP someone will buy them cheaply...

Question is, what is considered cheap? Is $50/ZEC cheap? or $25 ? or $100 ?

[needhelp2]

Question is What is it worth to the one that has it and can they hold it until they get the price they want?

Miners can affect the price by not selling until the price goes up imo

6 year old GPU. 40nm technology. Radeon 6990. Hashes at 800h/s (XMR) makes 0.0017 BTC daily.

6 month old RX 480 hashes at 200h/s (ZEC) makes 0.0014 BTC daily.

Yeah things are starting to look bad... mostly for new GPU owners

Can I use my 6950 2gb card to mine XMR?

[fr4nkthetank]

yeah but thats like 500w tdp no?  whats it using on xmr ?  still profit though.

yup 400h/s each

500w maybe on Furmark. Mining XMR it runs VERY COLD actually.

wattage at wall

[fr4nkthetank]

yup, there is always something to mine with low electricity cost

[adaseb]

Too lazy to measure the wattage. Maybe someone else can try it. However since its 40nm, it will most likely consume more than a RX480.

All I know is that its definately less than 250Watts because that's what it used with ETH mining. You can probably also mega undervolt it to like 0.9Volts and reduce clockrate a little and maybe ~150Watt range is achievable. No clue.

Rx 480 hash at 800h/s with XMR too

Watts are not everything. The card price is also a major factor. Just got a 7950 for $60 that does 150 watts. A. 470 would cost me around $160 doing 90 watts for about the same sols. Im spending an extra $4 a month in electricity. It will take 25 month for the 470 to catch up. In regards to a 480 the math is even worse.

If something happened with your system or hardware - it's Claymore! I saw messages that my miners destruct GPUs, PSUs, crash Windows etc. I won't be surprised when someone discovers that the milk always goes bad because of using my miners.
If you think that I write viruses instead of miners and you are the one who finally discovered it, it's a good idea to read OP or Readme:

......
- Windows 10 Defender recognizes miner as a virus, some antiviruses do the same. Miner is not a virus, add it to Defender exceptions.
  I write miners since 2014. Most of them are recognized as viruses by some paranoid antiviruses, perhaps because I pack my miners to protect them from disassembling, perhaps because some people include them into their botnets, or perhaps these antiviruses are not good, I don't know. For these years, a lot of people used my miners and nobody confirmed that my miner stole anything or did something bad.
  Note that I can guarantee clean binaries only for official links in my posts on this forum (bitcointalk). If you downloaded miner from some other link - it really can be a virus.
  However, my miners are closed-source so I cannot prove that they are not viruses. If you think that I write viruses instead of good miners - do not use this miner, or at least use it on systems without any valuable data.

Wow, some people are that stupid? I never thought the human race has such a low IQ minimum...

Rx 480 hash at 800h/s with XMR too

Yeah, and at half the wattage?

Do you have some more info? Price?

They are holding tight on this.  Only Speculations.

My best friend's cousin's 3rd uncle twice removed said it causes nuclear winter.

Thats ZEN CPU as it says on web site.

Not the 490X Gpu

[adaseb]

If the RX 480 gets 800H/s with XMR then mine XMR since its more profitable then ZEC.

is XMR more Profitable???

You complain about NEWBIES,  but why mislead them,
