Zcoin Mining (xzc), on new MTP algorithm

Article on how to mine zcoin (xzc), as well as a small overview of the zcoin coins, we’ll set up the miner, select the exchange, wallet and so on.

Attention! Update! Zcoin made hardfork on December 10, to protect against asykes and FPGA. The article has been updated. New Merkle Tree Proof (MTP) algorithm.

There is a new miner under MTP!

Let’s start with the fact that the zcoin (xzc) cryptovoltaic has the algorithm of mining – Lyra2z, updating the MTP algorithm. Xzc coin has good protection, which makes it better than equihash. Zcoin has nothing to do with the zcash cryptology.

Zcoin mining

Let’s start zcoin mining with a few points:

1. Choose a zcoin wallet or exchange.

2. Choose xzc pool, there are not many.

3. configuring the miner on the amd and Nvidia GPUs, as well as the CPU.

Zcoin wallet

It’s already your choice whether to use a wallet or an exchange. I’d advise you to use an exchange, it’s more convenient. There’s hardly any exchange with this coin, only one worthy of them:

Binance – very convenient and high quality exchange, enjoy many, I recommend! There is a rate of zcoin to BTC, xzc rate to ETH and BNB, the rate to the dollar and the ruble is not. Xzc mining on it goes without problems.

Before setting up, you need to know the number of your wallet, for this we register forBinance.

Fill in your e-mail address, then come up with a password and confirm it. After that, check the box “I read and agree…” and click to register, confirm the mail if necessary.

Enter your account, the asset and then the balance.

After that, while searching for XZC, we find and click Deposit.

Where circled in red, this is your wallet number xzc, copy it.

Zcoin pools.

There are very few Pools I can single out two of them:

1. mintpond.com is a very good and powerful zcoin pool, the main network power is just on it. Let’s make an example of it.

2. xzc.suprnova.cc – Many people know a pool, there is an xzc pool, but with a small power and heavy tuning.

It doesn’t support it anymore!

We chose Zcoin pool mining (xzc coin).

Zcoin xzc mining

Since this algorithm is more suitable for Nvidia cards, let’s start with them.

Zcoin miner for Nvidia will be ccminer mtp. – Download:

Download, unpack and edit the Start.bat file and see:

Where:

-a and further the algorithm on which our coin works, in our case mtp.

-o and further pool address with port, in our case stratum+tcp://zcoin.mintpond.com:3000

-Here’s the address of the wallet we made at binance, and after the corker point, whatever you want.

-p and further password, in our case 0

After editing, we save the changes and run start.bat.

If you did it right, you’ll see something like this. Mining is on.

and on:

Zcoin as Maintain (XZC)

Zcoin mining on the CPU.

Mining xzc on CPU is also real.

For that we need cpuminer xzc opt. – download.

After downloading, unpack in a convenient place for you, and edit the file start.bat and see it:

Where:

-a further the algorithm on which our coin works, in our case lyra2z.

-o and further pool address with port, in our case stratum+tcp://zcoin.mintpond.com:3000

-u here’s the address of the zcoins we’ve created for the binans, and through the corker point whatever you want, (address.corker).

-p and then the password, in our case 0.

After you save the changes and run start.bat.

If you did it right, you’ll see something like this. All zcoin mining cpu went, above example on i7 8700k.

Now let’s move on to AMD video cards.

Attention, as zcoin has switched to a new algorithm, if you have less than 8 gigs of memory on AMD video cards, the mining will be very small, also you should have at least 8 gigabytes of RAM on your farm, otherwise the mining will not work.

Here you need a zcoin miner from wildrig, you can download it here. – Wildrig zcoin.

After downloading, unpack in a convenient place for you, and edit batniki, start-mtp.bat this for maps less than 8gb, start-mtp-sse41.bat for 8 and above, the content is the same:

Where:

–url and then the port pool address, in our case stratum+tcp://zcoin.mintpond.com:3000.

–user here that we made at binance

you don’t have to change anything else.

Save the changes and run the batnik.

If you did it right, you’ll see something like this.

After you have configured the miner for xzc mining, you need to see the statistics.

Come on in https://mintpond.com/#!/zcoin

then where highlighted insert your address and click enter.

Hashrate is your overall Hareit (mountaineering speed).

Below balance is your current balance.

Total Paid – how much has been paid.

Workers – embroiderers that work.

The rest is not needed.

Zcoin xzc crypt currency promises us a better future, maybe it makes sense to mine it.

Once the coin goes to Binance, it needs to be put on the map, there’s an article about it.- Binance output.

I also advise you to read it.
