Just curious. Would it be possible to single mine to the wallet. Similar to the qt wallet (just changing the conf file)?
Not sure what you are asking?
If you are asking about solo-mining, yes that is possible.
It is mentioned along with some instructions in the guides on the TZC website.
Yes, I meant solo mining. Thanks, I will check the guide out.
Why not mine to zpool.ca and get paid out in TZC. that way you get more TZC for your power.
Why should I get more when I have to pay a fee? And there are often issues with many pools. The payouts are too low or the pools are down (ddos or just not maintained) for example.
While solo mining is supported, the network hash is currently over 3 GH/s which means you're going to have a hard time finding a block by yourself unless you've got an enormous amount of hashing power at your disposal.
I used to mine TZC on altminer and I'd get payouts of a few TZC every couple hours (I don't have any mining rigs or anything, just a few computers with decent GPUs). I've since switched to Zpool, which works differently than other pools. Instead of mining a specific coin you choose which algorithm to mine. The pool then determines which coin in that algorithm is currently the most profitable and has you mine that coin. You can choose to receive payouts in any of the coins they mine, even if it's a coin from a different algorithm than the one you're mining. I've been mining neoscrypt and m7m with payouts in TZC that are 2-3x bigger than the ones I used to get from altminer even though the fees on Zpool are ~1% higher. Zpool is also one of the better maintained pools I've seen that doesn't require registration. Crackfoo is active in their BCT thread and they usually communicate pretty well with peoples' questions and issues.
So I guess it's up to you to determine if your time and electricity is better spent trying to get lucky by yourself or getting some small fees taken out of more consistent payments from a pool.
