Holy shit, this is going nowhere quickly.
Ok ... Let's mine zcash (zec) ... Straight up ZEC mining ... What miner are you trying to use? What wallet are you using for zec? And what pool are you trying to use?
If you can't answer those question, I don't think you've even tried to mine zec as a single coin. If that is the case ... Take a look a Vosk's videos on zec mining. It will probably clear up a lot of your frustration.
At first I started with the Simpler Miner. I believe that one is $2 per day, and once I realized that, well that's not very effective with the rig I'm currently running. So I tried bbt MultiMiner. I found where I put in my Zcash wallet, but I never put the pool info in. When I start the miner it works, but I don't know if it's going to deposit to the correct address, because it's not working with my worker on the pool. (If that makes sense.)
I like Vosk's videos and have watched quite a few. I'll watch the ZEC video and see if that will help clear it up. I've also been looking for more video on the bbt MultiMiner.
Thank you for your help.
