How to mine ZCL using nVidia or AMD GPUs on windows
By popular request from the ZCL telegram group, I am going to write a quick mining guide for ZCL.
Download the following zip file depending on your GPUs:
nVidia: https://github.com/nanopool/ewbf-miner/releases
AMD: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1670733.0 and download the specialized miner
Extract the zip files and place them where you want. In this guide, I will show you how to use miningpoolhub since it is my personal favorite, though there are many others that can be found.
Go to https://miningpoolhub.com/ and make an account. Navigate to the Zclassic page and click workers on the right hand side. Make a new worker with whatever name and password you like.
EWBF: go to where you extracted the files and right click>edit the "miningpoolhub batch file". Change the inside of the file to this:
:loop
miner --server us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com --port 20575 --user UserName.WorkerName --pass YourWorkerPassword --eexit 1 --eexit 3 --fee 0 --tempunits C --templimit 78 --pec --log 2 --api 0.0.0.0:42000
goto loop
If you only want to use some of your cuda devices, use the following command: --cuda_devices 0 1 2 3, etc. separating their number by a space, no commas!
For claymore: This will be simpler as I do not have experience with the AMD miner so please see the link above for more information. Go to where you placed the files and right click > edit the "start" batch file. Make it look like this:
:loop
ZecMiner64.exe -zpool us-east.equihash-hub.miningpoolhub.com:20575 -zwal YourLogin.YourWorkerName -zpsw YourWorkerPassword
goto loop
Run the batch file and you should be in business! Last thing you need to do is set up the windows wallet. I wrote a guide for setting up the windows wallet on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ZClassic/comments/7kynho/how_to_install_the_windows_zclassic_wallet_yes/
Here is the condensed version:
Download one of two files below (with or without blockchain) and follow instructions located in the zip file!
With Blockchain up to Dec 3, 2017: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1BjE2kzvDJoTjMp-TbwZDOLyuNgzV3ZhF or https://mega.nz/#!8uYxXKrT!DXwaKCXkAG80LhNtdPT08wc-ARI3q5C8Q7GgQHJIpCw
Without Block Chain: https://drive.google.com/open?id=14H2v15wrgFFe-v8NyE3cja0a3yvPaOsq or https://mega.nz/#!JyhXRKRR!_DmMJo2_xr_UMT_r9iIkuUQTLKYOFjtWw9moAqWw2MU
Once the wallet is set up, navigate to the miningpoolhub Zclassic wallet page, enter your wallet information and set the auto payout threshold. Now you are mining ZCL!

Nice work; I found Claymore pretty easy to set up and I can see by your 217 views (5 hours in!) that people are hungry how to mine ZCL. It's definitely the lowest risk way to play the ZCL price rise.
Great article.. Thanks!! Lets see what this 1080ti can do!
Awesome post! Helped me alot!
Hey do you also know how to setup Hush Minning Batch File?
which miner are you using? EWBF? Claymore?
I recommend you use SuprNova pool for Hush mining. Try this for claymore batch file:
:loop
ZecMiner64.exe -zpool zdash.suprnova.cc:4048 -zwal YourUsername.YourWorker -zpsw YourWorkerPass -allpools 1
goto loop
And this for EWBF batch file:
:loop
miner --server zdash.suprnova.cc --port 4048 --user UserName.WorkerName --pass YourWorkerPassword --eexit 1 --eexit 3 --fee 0 --tempunits C --templimit 78 --pec --log 2 --api 0.0.0.0:42000
goto loop
