Mine Zcoin (XZC) with MTP

Good evening, I am looking to mine Zcoin for the first time. I have never mined cryptocurrencies before.
I have followed the guide for cpuminer but I cannot reach the goal.

I downloaded the cpuminer.exe file from githib.

As a mining pool I chose http://zergpool.com/ and used the miner command line generator. The result is:
-a mtp -o stratum+tcp://mtp.eu.mine.zergpool.com:3000 -u aB8SVoapDNqLx3jaywZGaF7LEHcrvBqjjG -p c=XZC,mc=XZC

So I created a .bat file (in the same folder where I downloaded cpuminer.exe) with the following line:
cpuminer.exe -a mtp -o stratum+tcp://mtp.eu.mine.zergpool.com:3000 -u aB8SVoapDNqLx3jaywZGaF7LEHcrvBqjjG -p c=XZC,mc=XZC

When I run the .bat file I get the following error:
cpuminer-multi has stopped working and the command prompt closes.

The characteristics of my computer are:

  • CPU: Intel Core i5 760 2.80 GHz
  • RAM: 4GB DDR3

Can someone help me please?

Thanks,
Gennaro

Are you sure it is still possible to mine ZCoin with CPU ?
