WORD OF ADVICE to BTCZ devs - don't wait to to make the change to ZHASH after ASICS drive up the difficulty or it will be an ugly transition. Just went through a week of hell with ETN making the algo change back to GPU and its still not quite right yet.... and has been very costly for the devs team to implement now.

The fork is already locked in. It's 1 week away.

Hey I downloaded the CPU miner and I get 0 sols/s is that normal because the new chain is not up and running yet?

I guess it is because the new chain with ZHash algo will start from 160 000 block height, it will run in parallel with the old Equihash until block 160 010, and from that only the ZHash based will be accepted.

Did you try the ZHasher on test net? Instructions and syntax examples at middle of page https://github.com/btcz/zhasher/releases



--------------------------
BitcoinZ: Current block height 156 928: https://explorer.btcz.rocks/block/000000023f7d7a588abb3fe5db9bccd6eb16d62a852c68bea841e3bdfcd7a907

Can you start mining now with the new Zhash miner or should we wait until block 160.000?

Are all pools supported from the go or we have to wait on them to update? Or maybe they don't need to do anything?
