Title: ASIC coin-switch with Nicehash
Post by: baladio16000 on September 20, 2018, 04:00:38 AM
Do ASICs such as Innosilicon A9 Zmaster and Bitmain Z9 Mini have the capability of auto-switching coins (all on equihash) when mining with Nicehash?  For instance, both ASICs are supposed to be able to mine Zcash and Zencash (Horizen), and one other coin, according to www.asicminervalue.com, which are all using Equihash.

When you mine on nicehash you are actually selling your hashing power for bitcoin.  Someone else is using your hashpower to mine an equihash coin (like the ones you mention).

As above said, Nicehash is a market where they rent our hashing power to renters. They classify our machines based on Algorithms. Renters will rent our hashing power through Nicehash, and the will mine the coins according to the algorithms that they rent (So the coin that mined will depends on the renters)
