Forget about Windows.
Use linux distros. There are many mining optimized releases if you re not familiar with them.
SSH / terminal connections allows you what you want already.
HiveOs, SimpleOS, etc.

Any advice preferred miner? I suppose you are not using NiceHash.

well I've emailed teamviewer for this problem long time ago and their response was something like : "teamviewer cannot provide screen if you dont have attached one" . Using dummy plug basically very often results in losing hashrate for one of the cards since it occupies some resources of itself and lowers its performance. TV worked in older versions though , dunno what they changed , I told this also to them . I guess only being premium/paid TV service you can get decent support. I suggest you use some kind of 2nd "watchdog" such as ethmonitoring/awesomeminer stuff in which you can configure your rig with basically minimum of using teamviewer. Good luck

I was out of the game for a long time and now that I wanted to jump in again, I thought to go again with NiceHash (after the "hack", I heard everything was ok). Would you avoid it?
With the clients you have mentioned, can I remotely control the rig, or the "minimum use of TV" was referred to the tasks to do on the rig with TV?

after you connect with teamviewer i guess you see black screen , simply press VIEW -> optimize speed / quaility and your screen should pop up.

Thanks, this was useful. I *partially* solved my problem. Partially because quality is not great: I have to refresh very often the page but in the end I can use it.
Thank you N0pr3s3n7!

Why? Any particular reason?
I've also tried to put one GPU on the MB, but with the same result unfortunately.

can not remote connect to rig if monitor is not connected to GPU

Hi,
I've found a great location for my rig and in this case I want to remote control it.
Everything works wonderful if I leave my monitor plugged into the DVI port of the GPU.
If I don't connect anything (which is what I want, since a monitor is useless), I have a black screen and can't do nothing. If I type, the pc type, so is just a problem on video output.

The setup is:
-3x1070 on risers, each powered;
-usually the cable is connected to just one GPU;
-the program I'm using is TeamViewer, since I've found no other reliable solution;
-OS is Windows

I've also encounter this issue when I do have the monitor plugged in and I reboot: in this case, the second power up doesn't show anything. I have to cut off electricity to the monitor to make it works again. (the monitor is an old VGA, connected to the 1070 through a VGA-DVI adapter).
This is a secondary problem, if I can use it without monitor, Iwould be even happier.

Thanks for any advice!

Hi guys,
I've just found this coin as highly profitable, and after the problem with nicehash I would like to give it a go.
Problem is, I can't find a miner for this.. link in first post won't work for me now.
My question is, do you have any suggestion for a miner?

Re: How to mine Zencash

Didn't mine Zencaah yet, but found a tut here:

https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@zeneth/how-to-mine-zencash

The author advices to use an exchanger (Bittrex)  as wallet and https://zenmine.pro/#/ as pool.

Thanks for pointing this out! Vann's video is actually really good too!

I agree with you about the pool, but not for the wallet. I always prefer an offline wallet and also one where I can exchange the coin in purpose.
I actually have no way to say that the "ZENcash wallet" is bad, but I'll try it out.

And I continue to support my idea that an app with ALL the coins would be amazing. Something like Jaxx.io, but with more wallets.

How to mine Zencash
by

on 21/10/2017, 19:06:48 UTC
Hi guys!

I need your help: I'm currently mining with Nicehash miner, but I realized that the coin it mine is not the most profitable.
I want to mine Equihash only, but on websites like whattomine it appears that Zencash is the most profitable, instead of Zcash.
The problem is that I don't find a miner for that coin, neither a wallet. Maybe I'm missing something...

Can you please give me some advice?
P.S. I've 3x1070

Anyway I applied your settings to 2 of my GTX 1060 3GB and result is brilliant, 598 sol/s for both of them and they are only 3GB version.

That's great!
Let's use this thread if we find something better!

try

+125 core
-500 memory

70% tdp

I think you will get around 465 sols  and save power


Ok, tried this for 10 mins now and it gives me 417-426 Sol/s @133W. The 1070 is rated @150W, so I think the efficiency is really good. But I still want to increase Sol/s.
Thank you for your input! This is surely very useful!

I have actual +200 core and +750 memory with 70% power limit on G1 card, and is doing 455 sol/s best.

Whenever I tried to go down in core clock it lost 60 sol/s for -120 core clock and it lost about 85 sol/s when I switched from +750 memory to -500 one.

I think staying in the plus both in core and memory with 70% power limit should be the best settings.
I've reached 505 Sol/s. And it's been stable for 10 min so far. This is the config:
-Power: 92
-Temp: 81
-CC: +61
-MC: +829

Now I'll try what philipma1957 suggested me.

That's what I want to achieve! Is this a way of overclocking and undervolting the same card?

You are getting almost all what you can get from that card. Running 471 sol/s per second I think it is one of the best setups for a 1070 card.
You can try to increase the memory clock to max of +1000 if your cards hold to it but 800 it is a pretty good number. If it crashes when you increase to 1000 go back to 800 and stick to the settings you have found. Also increasing power limit to 90% or 100% can give a little boost in performance but I think you have already are in some of the best settings for your card.

My GIGABYTE G1 1070 does only 432 sol/s on Nicehash and 455 sol/s on EBWF cuda miner with +750 memory and +200 clock. I am going to follow your example and try to make -120 core clock to see if I get any improvement.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I've read on some threads that mining zcash requires more memory than core, and they suggested to reduce Core clock and rise Memory clock. I don't know why, but it works Smiley
In any case I've saved this setup on Afterburner, so I can switch between coins with the best settings.

--a little edit to my previous post--
the precise settings, for nicehash, are:
Power: 100%
Temp: 83%
CC:+23
MC:+382
This allows me to reach 42.07MH/s

on EBWF cuda miner I go with:
Power: 91%
Temp: 83%
CC: -83
MC: +813
and I get 471sol/s

Fan speed, in both cases is between 20% and 40%.

What I want to do now is to play with power limit, since I believe it can give interesting results.

Feedback on overclock my 1070

Greetings!

I'm starting OC my cards, one by one. I've a 1070 Palit SJS and I'm mining Zcash on nanopool and sometimes use nicehash for the most profitable coin.
Now, at stock settings, it reach 440sol/s and 40.1 MH/s on Nicehash.
I would love to increase performance but I don't know what I should modify to rise earnings.

My first profile setting is:
Power Limit: 80%
Temp Limit: 80%
Core Clock: -120MHz
Memory Clock: +800MHz
giving me 471Sol/s

From this point, every slide I move, result in a decrease of the hash per second.
The problem is that I have not understood how this whole process works.

I'm also hoping there are some general settings in order to make my gpu more profitable.
N.B. so far, I'm using just one gpu, the others have to wait the cables to arrives. But I would love to learn this process, so when my hardware arrive, I will be ready to OC them.

Thanks

Thank you for all these answers!
I'm a bit of a noob about remote administration tools, I need time to understand those programs (except TeamViewer, which seems really easy to work with).
The ssh way seems also interesting, but I have no knowledge into the argument, so I have to document a bit. Also because I don't know if I can control the pc with the phone, in this way.

I just looked at TeamViewer and seems what I am looking for.
Plus it has the option to control the pc from an Android phone! (also RealVNC)

Thank you very much!

--edit--
So what do you suggest using, CloudCoinR?
