Trying to mine ZCash (ZEC), nanominer defaults to Ethereum Classic #372

Having problems attempting to mine ZCash (ZEC).

Presently using nanominer, V 3.7.3.

The command [nanominer.exe -d] returns [GPU 0 PCI 0b:00.0 8191 MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070] NVIDIA driver version: 516.94

When I execute a command similar to:

nanominer.exe -algo Etchash -wallet t***** -coin ETC -rigName MyRig -email SomeOne@email.com

-or-

nanominer.exe -algo Etchash -wallet t***** -rigName MyRig -email SomeOne@email.com

the miner always defaults to [Currency: Ethereum Classic]

Based on the README.md file ZCash (ZEC) appears to be supported. If so, please provide the -algo and -coin tokens an any other parameters and their respective tokens, that may be required, to point the miner to ZCash (ZEC). Once I get the command line working, I will then update my config file.

Thanks in advance, look forward to your response.

THANX(MKD).

While waiting for a response, I took time to re-read the document @ https://github.com/nanopool/nanominer

It appears that nanominer does not support ZCash. It appears I may have misinterpreted the Algo and Coin tokens used on the CLI.

If this is the case, and ZCash (ZEC) is not supported by nanominer, can someone recommend a good miner for Windows 11 and AMD 6700 XT GPUs ???

Thanks in advance.

THANX(MKD).

I usually use gminer, or lolminer for my amd gpus. I heard teamredminer is also good but was wigging out when i did a mixed system with nvidia and amd gpus. I would use lolminer for now if your on Hive as it's the over all better miner then gminer but would recommend gminer for windows due to some issues I've had with modifying the bat files on lolminer, gminer has never given me such issues.

ZEC is not supported.
