ETH, ETC, ZEC then what ?

[malekbaba]

I have seen good days mining with my single gpu. I earned some ETHs, ETCs, a bit zec with my gpu and had fun with profit. What may be next most profitable like zec/eth in gpu mining ? When will they arrive?? I heard about zec, 6 months ago.

ZClassic is now most profitable

Zec was supposed to be every miners salvation, but we are coming up short.

There is nothing else on the horizon and there are honestly too many miners for the days of big profit to ever happen again.

The market cap for Zec is tiny .  A solid pump is cheap and easy.

I see it happening around dec 1.

That is when the full block reward will be issued. So the coin inflation will be lower. It is cheaper to pump then.

IL be there with more cards and we now have more stable miners that can handle it, so it should be fun to watch .

perhaps try mining zcash classic. atm it seems to be worth it

No, coin inflation will we higher, twice as high as now.

I hope the price trends higher but every time so far a pump has happened it has been undermined by the dumping.  With the increasing inflation and the fact that literally every single person who has bought the coin has lost money.  Every time it raises in value people are quick to sell to regain some of those funds, it seems difficult for me to expect a major shift considering those factors.

Major shifts can and do happen, but keeping those things in mind will make you a safer trader.  After the full block reward it will be a safer landscape to navigate.

The only unique ZCash feature - zero-sharing proof transactions of how it's called, consuming too much node resources to process. Hard to believe it will be used widely for that, for everything else there's monero, eth and btc.

We may fall into another 2-years low-profit mining hell.

zcash, zclassic, eth, ethclassic, = same profit

I'm not so sure miners need yet another shiny new coin as much as they need adoption and use to increase for one or more of the ones we've got. ETH, ETC, ZEC, ZCL, have just about hit equilibrium. If the price of even one of those were to suddenly rise because it is actually adding value and not just speculative money being pumped in then miners will see another period of high profitability. On the downside the scene is starting to look flooded with miners and therefore may not be as profitable as before.

If the bitcoin block size is not increased in the near future, so that it is not suritable for fast confirmation, people will use ZCash.

Its very bad and will only get worse. Too many people are mining these days. Last month even my cabbie was mining. Couldn't believe it.

Well we know now with the sol/s rate that this will always be a gpu-gen currency so that's good, however zcash will be $15-$40 soon. Lets be honest the price will keep on dropping until the dev team fixes the "problems". The currency is virtually worthless unless they achieve the secure aspect of their coin. It will happen, and that is when you want to be holding or buy.

ZCash is still over $60 at the moment. If there is a dark net operator accpets the ZCash, the price will rise a lot.

You know what? If I had a dime everytime I heard that I would be a very rich man.

First they said that for Darkcoin, then Dashcoin, then Monero, then Zcoin, then Zcash, then Zcash Classic. And guess what nothings changed.

The way that these dark markets work is usually by escrow. You want some items, you pay by escrow and the dealer doesn't get it until the shipment is received probably in a week or two. Zcash you can't hedge against price movements, its really not normal for an asset to go up or down 20% in a single day. That's why people will stick will BTC for the longest time because its more stable.

zcash, zclassic, eth, ethclassic, = same profit

This doesn't make ANY sense at all. Atleast for my hardware. ZEC uses around 120 watts on a non modded RX 480. Ethereum uses around 150-160 even 180 when dual mining.

so that means
120 x 24 = 2880 Wh/day.
160 x 24 = 3840 Wh/day.
So that means
ZEC power cost/day: $0.288
Ethereum power cost/day: $0.384

So, your statement doesn't make any sense if power usage is higher on Ethereum mining.

ETH is going POS or "timebomb". If all the miner from ETH coming to ZEC then expect the profit to drop another half. Nothing is worth mining after ZEC.

The total GPU mining the ZCash and Ethereum is similar number. So if the price does not rise, and ETH miner comes to ZEC, there will be no profit.
