Title: ZCash (ZEC vs XMR) Monero profitability? Post by: ryuuxdxxd on August 10, 2021, 11:19:38 PM Hey! I was wondering about the differnce in xmr vs zec mining profitability.
I can see that the profitability per khash is significantly higher on zec, but is the hash you get per cpu also the same? thanks for reading, if anyone knows anything, please respond.

Post by: Bitfort on August 11, 2021, 12:02:14 AM ZEC is not mined by CPU (it is possible but very inefficient) ... you'll get just couple sols (hashes). Note it's not a ksol (khash).
You will definitely earn more by mining XMR (another popular CPU minable coin is verus). Title: Re: ZCash (ZEC vs XMR) Monero profitability?

Verus seems to be more profitable right now than xmr if im not mistaken? Title: Re: ZCash (ZEC vs XMR) Monero profitability?

Yes, verus is more profitable for quite long time but supported only by couple low rate exchanges so it's harder to monetize (especially small amounts due to fees).

What speed you get on one algo is completely irrelevant from another algo.
Since you got a CPU, if it’s some fast Ryzen you can mine XMR. ZEC you can forget about mining because there are fast ASICS out for it. It’s been years since you could mine ZEC on a GPU let alone a CPU. Mine XMR with your CPU. |
