Pool mining:

Miner uses custom binary protocol first time implemented in xpmclient (Primecoin GPU miner). Working pool instance: http://coinsforall.io/#!/coin/ZCASH

To start mining:
 - Put your Z-addess to config.txt (need ZCash client installed, online wallet or exchange with ZCash support):

Quote
server = "coinsforall.io";
port = "6668";

# Your ZCASH payout address (z-addr)
address = "zthTb2ToG5kuAc11Ni6NxoYjoxQdEr2XvST7XEdLvmHG9k7kotEcwYCaAn1SH4zRdPoXn9kNeFm8CQo k9SNtNgn8d9WcdTK";

 - Configure your GPUs (edit corefreq, memfreq, powertune and fanspeed parameters)
 - Run zcashgpuclient in Linux or zcashgpuclient.exe in Windows
 - Put you address to 'Your Address' field on web site for monitoring workers and payments

Pool system: PPLNS (Pay Per Last N Shares); accounting procedure uses all your shares received during last hour.

Pool now configured for public ZCash testnet until 28 October when mainnet starts

I'm trying to run zcashgpuclient.exe in 64-bit Windows 10 but the command prompt instantly opens and closes. Any ideas on what I should look at? Maybe the drivers?
