Your bigger issue is what will happen when ETH goes POS and everybody starts mining ZEC and difficulty goes through the roof.

It won't be profitable that long, maybe the next few months.

Someone is buying about every mined zec. Miners do not have problem with that. Yet.

Nobody really knows how long it will remain profitable to mine any particular coin. All we can really do is research, try to sift through all the hoopla and/or FUD on the internet, and make an educated guess. I am hobby mining for fun and profit and intend to keep investing a little bit in long term speculative gathering of some various coins, while making $ through mining whatever is worth the most in the short term.

I appreciate the chart; I have never really thought about this. If a low supply and difficulty in mining, the price could rise sharply in the future. Right now, could be the best time to mine.
