[ANN] zFastminer-v2.3.2 Most Powerful And Profitable Zcoin xzc Miner On Poolside For NVIDIA Pascal GPUs
***** Optimized For MiningPoolHub - Fork from tpruvot ccminer 2.2.5 *****

Update May 4th: Updated Version Release: zFastminer-v2.3.2

Changelog:
  • Fixed Stratum connection Bug.
  • Added support for IP addresses as URL- please choose the best IP for you with the lowest ping.
  • Attempt to reduce power spikes.
  • Mining Rigs with less then 2 GPU's not Supported.
  • Max GPU's support increased to 19 per Rig.
  • '--hide-diff' is ON by default to reduce CPU usage.
  • Small Reduction of the Intensity for better stability.
  • Compiled with Cuda 9.2

Regarding power spikes:
We have looked about this issue with ccminer and found out that some users found solution by using '-plimit' option to limit the max power usage of the GPU's(in addition to MSI afterburner), you can set values per GPU like this:

Code:
zFastminer-v232 -a lyra2z -o stratum+tcp://asia.lyra2z-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20581 -u USERNAME.NewWORKERNAME -p x -q -plimit 60,60,60,60,60,60,60,60
This sets 60% power limit for each GPU on a rig with 8 GPU's, try this option with your preferred power percentage

Regarding MPH ongoing maintenance and stratum connection issues:
We enabled using IP address as URL and now you can choose the best IP address with the lowest ping for you and you shouldn't have connection problem anymore.
For example:

Code:
zFastminer-v232 -a lyra2z -o stratum+tcp://139.162.132.70:20581 -u USERNAME.NewWORKERNAME -p x -q

List of IP addresses:
