Title: Genesis Mining contracts for ZCash - one year later Post by: zij on November 30, 2017, 02:43:59 PM For those who signed up, like me to the 1 year + 1 month (free) contracts for ZCash on Genesis Mining when ZCash launched, how have you found the experience? The contracts have in the last few days expired/stopped.
I ended up with 27 H/s for $150 and earned about $340 USD over the 13 month period - so it paid for itself. But spending $150 on a GPU would have returned more!

Title: Re: Genesis Mining contracts for ZCash - one year later Post by: Vann on November 30, 2017, 05:41:03 PM Cloud mining contracts for alt coins are a bad investment and mostly a scam. Even at the current ZEC difficulty a $200 investment in a GTX 1060 would net you $350 after 1 year. Had you started mining ZEC 1 year ago at an average difficulty of 3M over the past year you would have mined 3 ZEC and if you HODL'd you would have earned much more.

Shouldn't this be checked against a pure buy and hold on the benchmark (ZCash). I wouldn't think that it could outperform based on the difficulty increases, but I could be wrong. I'm actually currently mining ZCash on a 1070 and still getting decent returns per day, but it does seem like my money would be better invested if I had bought ZCash initially instead of a GPU.
Title: Re: Genesis Mining contracts for ZCash - one year later Post by: Vann on November 30, 2017, 06:15:28 PM ZEC was ~$64 1 year ago so with a $200 investment would could have bought ~3 ZEC.
https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/zcash-price.html The average difficulty was ~3M for the past 12 months, and the mining profitability has been consistent. https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/zcash-difficulty.html https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/zcash-mining_profitability.html $200 invested in a 1060 a year ago would have netted you ~3 ZEC as well and you still have an income producing asset that is paid off. https://www.coinwarz.com/calculators/zcash-mining-calculator/?h=280.00&p=120.00&pc=0.10&pf=3.00&d=3668680.47926139&r=10.00091344&er=0.03034936&btcer=9733.94450000&hc=200.00 Title: Re: Genesis Mining contracts for ZCash - one year later Post by: Wotan Wipeout on November 30, 2017, 06:38:56 PM For a rig you need more than only a GPU!
I am not a friend of cloud mining but sometimes it isnt so bad. Title: Re: Genesis Mining contracts for ZCash - one year later Post by: shamon 1362 4 5 on November 30, 2017, 11:02:16 PM what?
what No NVidia support.? i need NVidia support. plase Title: Re: Genesis Mining contracts for ZCash - one year later Post by: cryptbro on November 30, 2017, 11:05:21 PM everyone's going to say you should done this or that..held the coin instead, bought GPUs blah blah blah but at the end of the day 90% of those guys would have sold at +20% or given up mining when it wasn't profitable. the way i see it you doubled your money and thats a win man gg
