How To Mine Zcash ZEC

4/11/2025

Zcash (ZEC) is a cryptocurrency designed as a privacy-focused alternative to Bitcoin, with a strong emphasis on anonymity and security. It’s built on the zk-SNARKs protocol, which enables shielded transactions — hiding the sender, receiver, and transaction amount. Zcash doesn’t aim to replace Bitcoin, but rather offers a choice for those who value confidentiality in digital payments. The developers are actively engaged with the community, continuously supporting ecosystem growth and implementing new innovations.

Kryptex Pool supports mining Zcash ZEC using various EquiHash ASIC devices.
GPUs and CPUs, however, aren't capable of mining Zcash ZEC, as they simply lack the necessary processing power.

Kryptex Pool uses PPS+ payout scheme.

Kryptex Zcash ZEC Pool supports all well-known miner manufacturers:

  • Bitmain Antminer Z9mini, Z9, Z11, Z15, Z15Pro

Connecting to the Zcash ZEC: Step-by-Step Guide

Region URL Wallet Template Password
Global zec.kryptex.network:7042 wallet.worker x or leave blank
EU zec-eu.kryptex.network:7042 wallet.worker x or leave blank
US zec-us.kryptex.network:7042 wallet.worker x or leave blank

Let's take the Bitmain Antminer Z15 Pro ASIC as an example.

  1. Access the control panel of your ASIC.

  2. Navigate to the settings section, typically labeled "Miner Configuration" or "Settings".

  3. Input the following settings:

    • URL of the Zcash ZEC mining pool: stratum+tcp://zec.kryptex.network:7042
    • Worker: Enter the wallet address for mining and the worker name in the format Wallet_Address.Worker_Name. The worker's name should comprise numbers and Latin letters, excluding spaces or special characters.
    • For instance: t1ScU9R3YoZWPwwrm2jGSZtTpHKk9tw6ahU.Z15 where: t1ScU9R3YoZWPwwrm2jGSZtTpHKk9tw6ahU — represents the Zcash ZEC wallet address. Z15 is the chosen name for your worker in free form.
    • Ensure you use a Zcash ZEC wallet address.
    • Password: This field is optional. You can either enter x or leave it blank.

  4. If needed, replicate these settings across all three profiles. This ensures that the ASIC will reconnect to the pool and resume operations in case of a connection loss.

  5. Save and apply the settings, then reboot the ASIC.

Monitoring Your Pool Mining Activity

Once your ASIC has stabilized, which typically takes up to 20 minutes, and you have successfully connected to the Kryptex Pool, you can check the status and profitability of your mining efforts on the pool page.

  3. View the statistics related to your ASIC on the pool.
