In this guide we will be mining Zclassic (ZCL) with Nvidia GPUs and mining it from the mining pool Luckpool. Mining Zclassic with EWBF’s Cuda Miner – What you’ll need To mine Zcash with EWBF’s Cuda Miner you will need: • A GPU Mining Rig (with Nvdia GPUs) running Windows or Linux • A Zclassic wallet to deposit your mined ZCL into If you’re new to mining and interested in building a mining rig, check out our guide. The 3-part tutorial walks through the complete building of a mining rig from hardware through BIOS and operating system settings. Step 1: Download and install EWBF’s CUDA miner If you already have EWBF’s CUDA miner you can skip this step.

If not, follow along as we download version 0.3.4b from the git repository. • Visit the repository on github • Download the version (Windows or Linux) for for your operating system. • Zec.miner.0.3.4b.zip for Windows • Zec.miner.0.3.4b.Linux.Bin.tar.gz for Linux • if you want to compile the miner yourself, download the most recent version of the source code for your operating system.

• Uncompress the archive you downloaded somewhere easy to get to • If you opted for the uncompiled binaries, compile them now Step 2: Review a Zclassic batch file for starting the miner We’ll be starting EWBF’s CUDA miner with a batch file. A batch files is a text file that instructs the computer to launch the miner with specific settings.

Batch files can be created an edited with any text editor. For Linux users, you’ll be creating a.cmd file.

Our batch file for mining Zclassic at Luckpool This is a batch files that we use to mine on one of our Windows mining rigs. We’ve formatted the file the way it needs to be – in a single line. You can scroll back-and-forth if you need to.

Below we’ll go through each setting. Miner --server luckpool.org --user t1QaW97ojpxMCY5peLZhMakyna4jSCTtPCd.GODZILLA --pass z --port 3557 --api --tempunits C --templimit 75 --r 60 --log Two minus signs indicate a variables or settings for the mining software. The text that follows is the value to be used. Variable What it is --server The URL of the Zclassic mining server --port The server port for mining Zcash --user The Zclassic wallet address, a period, and the name of your mining rig --pass Password is not used by Luckpool, but a value is required.

We use a ‘z’ --api (optional) No value required --templimit (optional) Instructs the miner to stop any card mining above the temperature indicated --tempunits (optional) Specifies if temperature units should be expressed in F or C --r (optional) Tells the miner to automatically restart by the value in minutes --log (optional) Stores a local log of the miner’s activity In order to mine Zclassic you will need to include all non-optional settings and values in your.bat file. Optional EWBF settings Here’s what the optional settings do: • –api – Adding this to the batch file allows you to monitor the miner’s progress with a web browser • –tempunits – We set our temperature unit to Celsius to correlate with our overclocking software • –r – We’ve unfortunately found that EWBF crashes randomly, regardless of our overclocking.

–rr 60 forces the miner to restart every hour (60 minutes) • –log – By specifying –log, EWBF’s CUDA miner generates a log file in the same folder as EWBF’s CUDA Miner. Log files are invaluable if you find yourself experiencing frequent issues mining. Step 3: Configure the miner with your settings Settings for Zclassic mining at Luckpool To get started mining ZCL all you’ll need to do is update the settings in your.bat file: • Based on the size of your mining operation, note the port numbers below • Single GPU: 3556 • Multiple GPUs: 3557 • In the folder containing EWBF’s Cuda Zcash Miner, create a memorable file name such as start_ZCL_luckpool.bat. If your are on Linux, your file extension will be.cmd as opposed to.bat. • Open the file you just created in a text editor.. • Copy the entire line below that starts with ‘miner’ • Paste it into you file making the following changes: • change YOURPORT to the port from step 1 • update YOURWALLET to your Zclassic wallet address • set YOURRIG to the name of the mining rig you’re setting EWBF to mine ZCL for • Save the file miner --server luckpool.org --port YOURPORT --user YOURWALLET.YOURRIG --pass z --api Step 4: Start mining You’re ready to start mining Zclassic on Luckpool!

What is the best/easiest way to switch from Zcash mining to ZClassic mining with nvidia? Also what would be the best wallet to use for it? Zclassic is a fork of Zcash 1.0.1 with minimal changes except for 2 major things. 20% Founders Reward is removed. Slow start is removed (blocks start at 12.5. Zcash ZEC Mining Power Calculator.

• Double-click the file we just edited in Step 3 • A window will appear showing the miner’s progress as it connects to Luckpool and starts mining Zclassic. In Windows it will look like the image above. • That’s it, you’re mining Zclassic from Luckpool with EWBF’s Cuda Miner!

• To check your mining progress at Luckpool. • Change the cryptocurreny to Zclassic, then enter your Zclassic wallet address in the top right corner of the page. Finally, click the magnifying glass to find your miner.

• Since we included –api you can monitor the miner with a web browser as opposed to the command/terminal window. On the mining rig, navigate to 127.0.0.1:42000 in a web browser.

Since we keep getting some questions over and over again, I am making a FAQ here for everyone: • What is Bitcoin private? Similar to Bitcoin, BTCP will support peer-to-peer transactions without an intermediary.

These transactions will be verified by network nodes through the use of cryptography and recorded in a public ledger. Unlike Bitcoin, BTCP supports an increased block size and block time for faster transactions with lower fees.

Furthermore, transactions can be performed on a private (z) ledger. When sending from one private address to another, the sender, recipient, and amount are all private. • Who is running the project? Rhett is the lead developer.

Overall, our contribution team is huge. This is a truly community driven project and we are all invested in making this fork happen and BTCP the future. • When is the hard fork date? The exact date of the hard fork has not been announced yet. • How will BTCP be distributed?

If you have 1 ZCL, you keep 1 ZCL and get 1 BTCP, if you have 1 BTC, you keep your BTC and get 1 BTCP • What is going to happen to ZCL after the hard fork? It will still exist, though we are unsure how its development will continue as of right now. • Is there a premine or a founder's reward? No to premine.

We asked the community about a small founder's reward and the support was not overwhelming. • What exchanges will support the fork? We are actively working with exchanges on support of the BTCP fork. • Where can I store my ZCL to ensure I get my BTCP? We have recently released a new wallet which you can find. We recognize this wallet may not work for everyone still and are working on multiple other platforms to be released before the fork.

• Will one of the exchanges be supporting the fork? As of right now, no exchange has announced fork support. Generally, they will not even discuss fork support until after the fork date is announced/confirmed. Please be patient as we work on the fork and begin discussions with exchanges post fork date announcement. • How do I mine ZCL?

Is a guide for mining ZCL on miningpoolhub • How do I get involved in the fork? Please reach out to us here on reddit or other social media platforms. Also, see the issues posted on github that we need resolved for BTCP. There are a few bounties for them too. • Where can I buy ZCL right now? Bittrex, Cryptopia, and Coinexchange.io • How do I claim my BTCP from ZCL?

More information on this is forthcoming. Please be patient. • How many BTCP will there be after the fork? There are 3 million ZCL and 16.7 million BTC, so there will be 19.7 million BTCP after the fork. • Can I donate to the team? We're all volunteers and as such your donation is greatly appreciated.

Curious about a worst-case scenario question. I currently mine ZCL. My mined coins were being transferred to my Bittrex wallet but the wallet has been down for a couple days now. I finally set up the Windows wallet so now my mined coins go there but I have no way to transfer the coins I own in Bittrex to the Windows wallet until they lift the wallet maintenance suspend. Say Bittrex does't end up supporting the fork and the Zclassic wallet is still under maintenance during the snapshot / fork, effectively screwing me out of the hardfork because 99% of my ZCL is in the Bittrex wallet but I cant move it.

Would there be some sort of communication between ZCL and Bittrex to get their wallet back online before the snapshot / fork so thousands of people won't potentially have this same problem? Thanks for the info!
