  1. Is anyone here still solo mining Zcash? I started with a $100 Z9 Mini

    r/zec (Reddit) · /u/French-Kiwi24 · 2026-10-03 15:10 UTC

    I’ve been trying to solo mine Z-cash for awhile hoping to get a old Z11, but I saw the prices rocket from $700 for a used Z11 back in July to $1700 for a used Z11 now🫠 So I ended up buying a used Z9 mini which gives me a 1 in 1700 chance per day of hitting a block, for 300W it’s not bad. I’m curious if anyone else is solo mining, I created the video above documenting the setup and the WiFi-mod I did if anyone wants to follow along. Also curious if anyone else has any cool mods they’ve done to their Z9 mini? submitted by /u/French-Kiwi24 [link] [comments]

  9. Monthly Zcash Discussion - October 01, 2026 - Use this thread for general chatter, basic questions, and if you're new to Zcash

    r/zec (Reddit) · /u/AutoModerator · 2026-10-01 11:00 UTC

    What is Zcash? Zcash is a privacy preserving digital currency. It is the first blockchain to leverage a novel technology called Zero-knowledge proofs to enable privacy and selective transparency. Zero-knowledge proofs allow transactions to be verified without revealing the sender, receiver or transaction amount. Selective disclosure features within Zcash allow a user to share some transaction details, for purposes of compliance or audit. Development work on Zcash began in 2013 by Johns Hopkins professor Matthew Green and some of his graduate students. The development was completed by the for-profit Zerocoin Electric Coin Company, LLC, led by Zooko Wilcox, a Colorado-based computer security specialist and cypherpunk. Over time, this company rebranded and converted to a non-profit org now known as the Electric Coin Company (ECC). Zcash development now occurs with support from ECC employees, the Zcash Foundation, and many community members through community elected funding streams that originate from ongoing Zcash mining rewards.

  11. CTRLPool now offers Datum Support for Zcash Miners!

    r/zec (Reddit) · /u/EastCoastASIC · 2026-09-29 17:28 UTC

    At CTRL, we've always been a huge fan of DATUM. That's why today we are announcing we now have scripts for 1 command install and setup for nodes and datum gateways on a Linux server. Just input your payout wallet, and the script sets up a node, syncs it, and sets up a gateway for you to point your miners to. You'll also notice a new addition to the datum list: $ZEC Over the past few weeks we've been working and testing #Zcash mining over Datum and are now releasing it to the world. It’s technically still in beta, so please let us know if you spot any issues. We hope the Zcash community uses this to help decentralize their network. submitted by /u/EastCoastASIC [link] [comments]
