3. Mine Zcash with GPU
# install $ git clone https://github.com/nginnever/zogminer.git $ cd zogminer/ $ ./zcutil/fetch-params.sh $ ./zcutil/build.sh -j$(nproc) # run miner $ ./src/zcash-miner -G -stratum="stratum+tcp://eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333" -user=zcTK8dBXj2Qj1CTnUAKJPtfU53HqGV3roqyQZqkXLeWiGYK9Vr478fdeTpxDkRHwvG5sE8V2jXec5ZqoUvkeY3vJCC7xZjVsource my blog
Nice post. Good to see I'm not the only one that is thinking about this. Buy low, sell high, it seems so simple but most investors still don't seem to get it :-) I really advice people to take a look at: https://www.coincheckup.com They seem to give this complete indepth analysis of all cryptocoins. Sorted by team, product, company, advisors, previous investors, etc. On: https://www.coincheckup.com/coins/Zcash#analysis For the Zcash Detailed report
