Is ZEC more profitable than ETH?

[yarikss]

Claymore tell me honestly! You got a miner was from the Begin on ZEC, you are right now, gradually spread the new version, even though they have long have you!

[Amph]

Is ZEC more profitable than ETH?

not anymore, it's way lower, assuming a rig of 1000(6 x 480)sol versus the same rig that do 180MH it's 0.002 worst, conusmption is also higher i guess or on par

Is ZEC more profitable than ETH?

you need to figure out yourself - it depends on the cards(for older cards the gap is narrower), but for Rx400 ETH/ETC is currently about 20% more profitable than ZEC

What bios/settings r u using to get 180MH from your rig? I have low power bios and have 170mh, on this 180mh was unstable. Is all fine on your rig?

You can use calculators like cryptocompare (dot) com to see the actual difference between mining ETH, ETC and ZEC. But don't forget that ZEC mining uses less electricity (at the moment).

Nice to see that improvement in hashrate, but I think it won't change that ZCash is doomed compared to Ethereum.

actually increasing the hash will not give you anything, because everyone will have his hash increased, only nvidia is screwed on zcash at the moment because of no optimization

Just wait until Nvidia optimizations happen (in the pipeline for Optiminer shortly), ZEC will get pummeled.

I think it has not much to do with hashing power but with coin trading. Let suppose you build a nonster rig and you use Claymore miner, you will get some great profits for some days, but as the ZCL and Zcash price drops, you will be switching to eth/etc sooner or later, moreover if we take into account the dual mining option.

I think the market will give is the chance to switch between currencies, I mean: as the eth difficulty rises you will get fewer coins for the same work, and in the meantime the zec/zcl difficulty wil fall some points. People will drop eth and to move to zec, and on, and on, and on, until both currencies's difficulty is so high that you wil have to upgrade your card.

But in all those sceneries the price will play an stellar roll. It's my opinion.

Cheers.

And don't forget that despite of the ZEC price is going down, the block reward (mining reward) is increasing till the end of November. And also the miner software's performance is enchancing day by day. Thanks to Claymore : )

I think people will keep mining even if they get 0 Profit at the moment.
Maybe they believe Zcash will do the same as Bitcoin in a few years..
Mine a few hundred/thousand coins depending on your rig and maybe get rich in 2022


And I hope Amd's new vega gpu in early 2017 will make it profitable for non-chinese-mining farms-non-paying for electricity-people again

Upgrading whole farm is quite an investment
Upgrading 6 card rig at home is affordable

Is ZEC more profitable than ETH?

For the most part, no.

The question you should be asking is, what is his hash per watt. You can crank up the speed but you exponentially use more power.

Fair enough. You have to remember that Nvidia miners also want their piece of the ZEC pie (and they will get it even if its more expensive to do so).
ZEC difficulty will climb drastically in the upcoming days.

hello!
you who used the pool?
  mining with a 1 gpu ..

[Cakinmate]

Is ZEC more profitable than ETH?

It depends on your cards. If that is the newer cards like the AMD 470/480, it is more profitable to mine the ETH. If that is 7970, it is better to mine ZEC.

I have free electricity, so for me more important is MH/S

Anyone nows what the r9 390x from Gigabyte or the r9 290x from msi is doing? Speeds and watts please

There is no problem for overclocking if you have free electricity. But you cannot do too much, that will damage the cards.

I can't speak for the x versions but I have a sapphire nitro 390 (2x 8pin for serious overclocking space) and an asus strix, both seem to hover around 240h/s I don't like the idea of pacing them too hard, since I'd rather have them mine pretty quiet at ~60-65c and prolong their use -25mv and -40mv, 1100 core, nothing extreme. I think the 390x should get around 255h/s the 290x should fetch slightly less from what i've been reading. my guess is the power draw is quite polite but i don't have a wattmeter to verify. probably between 180-230 watts. my guess is with the right power mod bios you can get it lower if you're willing to do your homework.
