I think that once ZEC/ZEN recently embraced ASICS, a lot of GPU (nVidia) miners will switch to equihash 144_5 alternatives.
One promising alternative PoW equihash coin (zhash) is SnowGem - XSG. Total supply similar to Litecoin, 1 minute block time. Way undervalued, only $0.1 today.
The only Core masternode implementation on equihash (different than ZEN secure/super node implementation).
Small but super active dev team (recently released brand new cross platform ModernWallet).
I made a pool with beautiful features (custom payouts, nice charts with history for pool/miner, blocks finding times on the chart in regards to difficulty evolution, and much more...) for this coin.
I am open to any miner suggestion that may help his/our mining experience
