Introduction

ZEC Zcash
Homepage   Explorer Wallets Exchanges
Zcash is a decentralized and open-source cryptocurrency that offers privacy and selective transparency of transactions. Zcash payments are published on a public blockchain, but the sender, recipient, and amount of a transaction remain private. Zcash is based on peer-reviewed cryptographic research, and built by a security-specialized engineering team on an open source platform based on Bitcoin Core's battle-tested codebase. Its improvement over Bitcoin is the addition of privacy. Zcash uses advanced cryptographic techniques, namely zero-knowledge proof, to guarantee the validity of transactions without revealing additional information about them.

3. Deploy Mining 
Double click "startxxxxmining.bat" according to the corresponding software (CPU, AMD Graphic Cards and Nvida Cards) to start mining ZEC. 

Note: If the workers can’t be detected by using port of 3002, please try to use ports of 302.

Monitoring & Earnings

After the miner has been stabilized for around 10-15 mins, you can check operation status and profits via Workers and Earnings page. You can also download ViaPool to view the related data at any time.

Payout

Auto Withdrawal      (ZERO fee and unified payment everyday, recommended!)
Normal Transfer       (Transfer at anytime but fee is required)
Inter-user Transfer   (ZERO confirmation and fee)
Transfer to CoinEx    (ZERO confirmation and fee)


Why do I need to set multiple ports?

We recommend that users set multiple ports to ensure stable and sustainable mining. Should one of them is inactive, the miner will switch to the next one automatically.


If my miner is disconnected, how to fix it?

The status will become active after the miner keep running for around 10 to 20 minutes. 

If the worker keeps producing invalid shares, please check your settings on the dashboard.

If the issue remains unresolved after checking, feel free to send us a ticket.
