Brief Intro About Zcoin 

Zero Coin is a privacy coin which uses Zerocoin Protocol for its operations.This coin is about a year old and currently ranked 107 on Coinmarketcap. We all know privacy coins are gaining momentum hence buying some ZCoin is surely the right thing to do now.

You all must have heard about Bitcoin before, but the main problem with bitcoin is slow transactions and privacy. Hopefully Bitcoin transaction speed will increase with segwit2x. Privacy problem can’t be solved as of now. All information is stored in public ledger and anyone can access it, its how bitcoin works.

To solve privacy problem of  bitcoin we have Zcoin.This coin is much similar to Monero,Zcash,Pivx,etc.Check the video below to know more about Zcoin.

Update January 2020 : This mining guide is outdated now.

  Different Methods to Mine ZCoin

This coin uses Lyra2z  algo for mining. Lyra2z  is very energy efficient. My 1080 Ti’s run at 55 degree celsius with 55% TDP.

1. Solo Mining :

If you have a mining farm and possess a lot of hashing power then  follow this  Zcoin Solo Mining Guide . Solo mining is for advance users and people with lots of hashing power otherwise it might take long to see any return.

2. Pool Mining :

In this article I will let you know how to mine Zcoin on Pool. Keep reading and you’ll know all about it shortly. Pool mining is for those people who don’t have enough hashing power. I also mine Zcoin on pool with 7X1080 Ti rig.

3. Cloud Mining :

Zcoin can be mined with CPU or GPU. People with Nvidia or AMD GPU can use Pool or Solo mining. If you want to mine Zcoin with CPU you can use any cloud computing services like digital ocean,google cloudd,etc.
 Here is the link  to the tutorial for Cloud Mining Zcoin with Google Cloud.

Best Pool to Mine ZCoin


I have 7 GTX 1080 Ti and currently using all of them for mining. Earlier I was mining Signatum but after 100000 block Signatum  switched to POS. I was searching for new profitable coin to mine with my 1080 Ti’s and that is when i came across Zcoin. I tried a couple of pools available but Miningpoolhub works best for me. This pool has major hashrate and I recommend this pool to everyone.

All available Zcoin mining pools are –

  1. MiningPoolHub [Best and Recommend]

Best Miner to Mine ZCoin : Mining Software

I tried many modded version for ccminer to mine this coin but hashrate shown on the pool is always 30-40% less as shown on the mining software, finally I found the best miner to the coin which shows exact hashrate if not more. Earlier I was mining 1.4 Zcoin each day but with the new mining software I am getting 2 Zcoin/Day.

Here are Miner Download Links

1. ZCoin Nvidia Miner : 

[ Use this only for best results] : Miner include some algos from alexis78, djm34, sp, tsiv and klausT. Nvidia GPU 

2. ZCoin AMD Miner : 

I don’t think mining Zcoin with your AMD card more profitable, comparing to other options available. AMD card owners better be mining Etherium, Ubiq, etc. This miner is provided by djm34. AMD GPU

3. ZCoin CPU Miner :

If you are planning to mine zcoin on cloud you can use this cpu miner for zcoin. Miner provided by JayDDee. 

Follow these steps to Mine ZCoin

My Trading Tip : Recently Zcoin was choosen community coin of the month.Don’t sell XZC now, buy more at ~0.00190 BTC . Binance will list XZC very soon so expect price hike. Sell at 0.00300 BTC or more. 

1. Download the miner program djm34 zcoin miner

2. Visit MiningPoolHub and sign up/login to account.

3. At miningpoolhub click on Hub Workers and create new worker.

4. Keep the  page open as worker name and password will be used later.

5. Select any server which is closest to you

U.S.:us-east.zcoin.miningpoolhub.com:20581
Europe:europe.lyra2z-hub.miningpoolhub.com
europe.zcoin.miningpoolhub.com:20581
Asia:asia.lyra2z-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20581
asia.zcoin.miningpoolhub.com:20581

6. Create a new batch file and place it in the same folder where you mining program is.
For me –

My username is “anuj”
Worker name is “a”
Worker password is “pass”
Nearest server location is asia.lyra2z

Add following content in a batch file and edit it accordingly.

7. Double click on the batch file and mining will start instantly.

      No.
      djm34 miner is best for zcoin, I don’t think its available for Linux
      If you use regular ccminer, your mining speed will not shown correctly on the pool.
      20-30% less.
      If you don’t want to install Windows OS then better to mine vertcoin now for good mining profit with nvidia 1080 ti

    Can you give instructions for using your miner? I downloaded and have the .exe file…how do i enter my .bat file and get started? I’m currently using ccminer x64 2.2.2, which works but doesn’t give the best returns. However, it’s the only miner I have been able to get to work. I put my .bat file into the main folder and no problem. I put my .bat file in yours and the window for the miner flashes and then quickly goes away.

      use miner which is provided it is best.
      Open bat file and make sure there is “ccminer” at start of batch file.
      I will be making youtube video for it very soon, probably within 2 days, keep in touch.

          Don’t mine on ccminer 2.2, you will lose 20-30% hashrate.

          If this miner is not working make sure CUDA, C++ libraries are installed.
          Latest nvidia drivers gave me problems. I am on older version 385.28.

          Official djm34 miner is also good

    I started to mine xzc with 48 GTX1080ti, some of them Gigabyte “Gaming OC” some of them “Aorus Xtreme”, but with perfect overclocking they give maximum 3050-3100kh/s, its looks lil bit slower than yours, and my opinion is memory overclock is not necessary it does not give any extra speed.
    Do you have any idea why are they slower?
    I have Asus Z270A and Z270F motherboards , i use them in Gen2 speed every Motherboard handle 8 GPU

    thanks a lot!

    I’m using ethOS, my current miner version is ccminer 2.2.2-mod-ethos4. Any idea how I would switch versions? EthOS is linux based so I’m out of my depth here

    • ANUJ SAINI says

      djm34 miner is not yet available for linux based OS.
      Better to install Windows if you want to earn more by mining XZC.

      You always have option for dual boot when you not mining xzc on windows then you will be using ethOS for other algos

    Hey do you know a mining service (like hashflare) that allows mining zcoin? Would you say for someone with a budget <1000$ its better to invest in these? Best regards

    Reply

    • ANUJ SAINI says

      Sorry I don’t any such services. Alt market is green as BTC is stable. Zcoin hard fork is coming so price should increase. Use stop loss always.
      You can invest in Zcoin I think price will increase more but decision is yours.

    Hey Anuj. Have you had any issue with your hashrate on miningpool and ccminer not tallying? I’ve used both the version on top, and the latest version from zcoin. Both give me a hash of about 3200++, but its not being reflected on miningpool weirdly, using either version

      May be pool down or something else, I do get this error some time. Just restart the batch file

    Hi Anuj, I followed your steps above and was able to make it work on my 1 x GTX1080 TI (Asus strix) and for this I would like to thank your blog. But I notice during the preliminary up time, it gives me 3171.+ kh/s against the testimony of 3300kh/s, is this normal? Thanks for the reply in advance and keep up the good work. 🙂
