So are you suggesting to me that I should do only pool mining?



Can I mine Zchas with ccminer 2.0?

Thanks to everyone

Oh I see. Without equiash you can't mine Zcash right? Because equihash is used for the PoW, right?

So for solo mining ccminer 2.0 is enough? And for pool?
Thanks

Oh, I see. Thanks for saying that. Do you have suggestion for mining in pool?
Thanks

Thanks a lot to both of you guys I will start with nicehash asap

Thanks a lot for the answers and for the welcoming I have read about nicehash here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1274983.0 so basically, instead of downloading claymore for ETH and EWBF for ZEC, I will just use nicehash for mining and get an online wallet from blockchain.info and that's it right?

Thanks

Hi I'm new to the world of cryptocurrency and mining, so forgive me if I'm going to ask very stupid questions.
I have read multiples articles online and watched videos on youtube about these subjects and, considering I don't have to pay for electricity and I have 1 PC powered on 24/7 with this HW and SW:
i7 920 D0 @4GHz (soon I will buy a ryzen 1600x)
12GB DDR3 @1600MHz (soon I will buy 16 GB of DDR4 at higher frequency to match the ryzen)
One GTX 1070 Zotac AMP! Extreme edition
250 gb ssd + multiple HDD
Windows 7 x64 Ultimate

these are my questions:
1) It will be profitable for me to mine?
2) If yes, should I mine in pool or not?
3) Ethereum or Zcash? Considering also how much eth is increasing right now
4) What are the best software for mining (ethereum and Zcash)
5) How I get my wallet and how I protect my money? I have read this about the second question: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=17240.0
Is that the only way or are there easier ways?

Thanks
