Title: only 7950 and 290x - eth or zcash?
Post by: cryptohunter on March 20, 2017, 05:38:22 PM
these old generation power hogs seem to do well on zcash even against the rx480 but on ethereum they only hit about 15mh?

am I correct in thinking right now mine zcash and sell for eth if you want eth?

Definitely..
I'm doing the same with my "old" cards.

Those cards are monsters! They never die..

yeah was thinking to upgrade the farm but may as well buy eth with the money and mine zcash for now with the old cards and purchase eth with rewards.

That is right. These cards are excellent for ZEC.

I do not think how much you pay for electricity. But I think that right now mining is better than sell and buy coins.
This bubble is amazing, let's hope it last for some weeks!
