Being involved with Dash, when the x11 ASICS came, only a handful of manufacturers and they are selling it at exorbitant prices that would probably never break even. A problem that still exists today. I suspect the vast majority of these miners are being retained by the manufacturers themselves.
We can't liken it to Bitcoin when it was the only cryptocurrency around but even then it's still only a handful of manufacturers. Bitmain is basically the only one where outsiders can get their hands on the miner easily.
They always talk about 'hash rate' as protection but I would argue that if it requires specialized hardware that only can be obtained from a few sources, that hash rate protection is a bit meaningless. It just makes it easier for the ASICS to dominate.

just favours a different crowd; everyone will have a whinge if x mining method isn't within their grasp.
Exactly. I could be on here crying over every coin with GPU mining ( since I no longer have my rig ). Instead, I wait till an opportunity to cloud mine comes along & grab it. Crazy thing is... anyone can cloud mine, they just need to learn how. Ain't rocket science. |

Crazy thing is... anyone can cloud mine, they just need to learn how. Ain't rocket science. Miners thought: -GPU: dev, switch to cpu please, there are plenty of gpu farm+nicehash mining, i can't do profit with my home 10 gpu, i have bills to pay -CPU: dev, please switch to gpu, i have 6 gpu to mine and only 1 cpu. |

At the end of the day, the algo is gonna change very soon, ZCash is launching tomorrow so who knows where the market is heading. There is going to be a major hype around ZCash but which will be the one that is adopted by the masses?

Zcoin could still take the inner turn by releasing some slick wallets etc.
But does not seem like dev team has their shit together.
Unfortunate.

Considering the fact that Roger Ver is invested in both of these coins I would think the best approach is to have one hand in two pies  . I think there will be a future for both however there is trust issues with ZCash, its all dependent if people can trust the ZCash devs. ZCoin on the other hand has a RSA setup however the Zcoin mint process takes ages to get onto the block chain it took me 12+ hours to be able to spend minted Zcoins. Both coins have there issues its all dependent on which is most trusted while been practical in real world scenarios. |

I don't even worry as much about the Zcash devs but more a hacker finding an exploit and keeping his method hidden while he secretly mints coins. |

Is a zcoin price drop inevitable in the coming days? Only time will tell. I think it might be good to switch my spare CPUs over to Zcash and buy Zcoin if we do hit a valley in price. Or I won't flinch and will just leave the CPUs here. Depends on how busy the day is  |

Or I won't flinch and will just leave the CPUs here. Depends on how busy the day is Why would you mine a coin as much hyped as ZCASH is...? The hype is so loud, everyone will start mining it as soon as it releases, so it could be the worst time to mine it. It is like buying a coin, which is being hyped hardest. To me, if something is being heavily hyped, there is no opportunity anymore. You should be there before the hype, not after... As with ZCash its impossible, its better to buy it when interest will be not so big and it will be temporarily dumped (I am sure it will). All this is theory, of course, as every coin is different and many scenarios possible... Would be interesting to watch this . We should have exchanged ZCoin to maize instead of potatos, so we have a lot of popcorn ready |

Which one is better for mining: 1x32 cores or 4x8 cores? or both same? (with same CPU clock)

4x8 cores should definitely be better, but real measurements are welcome |

What is the best miner to use for CPU? Does a miner exist for Windows or is it only for Linux and do I have to compile the miner myself?

Kraken just sent out an email that Zcash trading will commence in the morning. With a supply of almost zero and this hype, we haven't seen anything quite like this. Here's a paste of the email text: http://pastebin.com/q7wr8Wv2 |

I'm lining up my EC2 instances right now too though  The hype is half the fun! other half is cashing out |

Zcash futures trading at 1 BTC per Zcash on bitmex. The second best thing in anonymity zcoin is trading at $3.5?? Something is not right. either ZCASH should be at $35 ot zcoin should be at $70.

it's a faked price, it will be lower on a proper exchange, mostly because there is no volume there |
