How to mine Zcash | Firmware and description
Hi all. On this page you can find out what equipment you need to start mining zcash. Here you can also find all the firmware that will help you in overclocking your Asics.
First you need to get a Z9mini, Z9, Z11, Z15 or A9, A9+, A9++. But mostly we will be looking at the z-series from Bitman.
If you bought new Asic, it's better to check the warranty on this site.
If you bought a used hardware, it is unlikely that it is still under warranty. There is nothing wrong with a used Asic, the main thing is that it must work and be in good condition. Before buying check all the connectors, cables and connections. Now let's move on to the firmware.
The most famous and one of the first to experiment with overclocking was Efudd. Mostly the firmware is paid, but it's better to double-check. At the moment the firmware is ready for all miners of Z9mini, Z9, Z11, Z11e, Z11j series. Website.
The second representative is Chirlers, simpler firmware, and in the direction of Z9 for a long time there was no change. The main difference of its firmware is free, i.e. there is no mining in favor of the developer. For the Z11 there are two firmware options: paid and free. Details on the forum:
Firmware from Crypto Mining Tools is a union of the well-known Chipless and Scott Offord. You can download the firmware from discord.
Now let's talk about Antminer Z15. 09.09.2020 a beta-version of the firmware was released. Z15 with the Crypto Mining Tools firmware should reach 420-430kSol at 1350-1400W at our default settings. The standard Bitmain firmware is 420kSol at about 1510W power consumption.
Default miner firmware is locked. Use the Z15 SD image file to unlock the Z15 and download the Z15 firmware Crypto Mining Tools to the miner using an sd drive.
If the miner has already been unlocked in the past, use the Antminer Z15 user interface update file to download the firmware through the miner's user interface.
