Well, that's not bad as of today.

Lux wallet on Cryptopia has been down for few days.

Wow that sounds bad for long term holding.

Mine and trade short term it's no worse profitability wise than zcash. Plus lower power.

Thanks for the explanation. Even with the issues it's had LUX sounds like a better project than that sheesh. I do have four zcoin wonder if I should trade it off.

Thanks, this post is enough to get my hands off zcoin.

Just another Bitcoin fork with applied changes made by someone else. The Zero knowledge whitepaper it's based upon was made by the ZEC (Zcash) team (university professors) which didn't even use it for their own coin (ZEC) and went on instead of using ZkSnarks. So this Thai kid just forks BTC, uses their research and creates Zcoin. It's nothing special, won't ever see a wider adoption. ATM bunch of the coins are locked up in Znodes (masternodes which require 1000 coins) and the parasites are waiting on the miners to mine blocks so they can get the divident of 15 coins.

It used to reward like 40 coins per mine block (50 coins in a block) but after the masternodes went live in december 2017, it now awards 28 coins per block to the miners. The breakdown in the past was:
- 40 miners + 10 devs
Now it's:
- 28 miners + 15 znodes parasites + 7 devs per block.

Profitability of this coin is worse than anything else. 99% of the hashing power is at only one pool (mining pool hub) where botnets account for like 85% of the hashing power. So with 8 x 1080ti and some change (multicore cpus, some 1050tis etc) I make barely 0.5 Zcoin per day ($26).

I would seriously recommend anyone to steer clear of this failed project. The Lyra2Z algo is good, light on the cards (~40-60C), but this coin and it's circus management team have drove it to the bottom, and I'm pretty sure apart from botnets, soon, nobody will mine it.

On their official chat (Telegram) - the users say: "We don't need miners, they are not loyal etc" - because the chat is filled with Znode (masternode) parasites who don't care if botnets provide the hashing power as long as they get their 15-30 coins per month without any effort (these people bought the coins when the value was like $1 or less per coin and now live off the dividents.)..

 

LUX maybe?
ZCL can pump up in a couple of days because of hardfork.

I often have such things on some rigs, not at all. This is not a connection problem or rig.
This is a pool problem! It's just buggy and that's all. In general, this can be hammered, or you need to go to another pool.

Why is zcoin a dead end?  Is it a bad project?

https://coinranking.com first page , 5 coins on green while btc is going still down (long running not many 3 of 5)

I don't understand some people here... If BTC goes down, all the coins follow. If BTC goes up, all the coins follow.

Give me 3 long-running coins with charts that don't follow BTC.

It all comes down to BTC.

why don't you just mine what has maximum profitability and change for coin of choice?

is there a website (ie. whattomine like) just put your gpu and get a profitability per algo - a little like the nicehash benchmark ?

Sell your GPUs, much profit.

Anyone can give me some good advice for 8x 1080ti ?  I stopped today with BWK because it begun very low price.. but, there is some good choice to mine? All coins profitability looks very low.. I was in doubt to start to forget about profitability and mine zcash or vertcoin because they could "surely" grow up value in the next future but also verge it sounded interesting..

I am very confused lately.. if you have some good advice, i would appreciate


thanks mates!

My recent x17 scores, don't know if it is good ...
Gtx 1080ti is running 80% tdp, hw monitoring data included to the pic, but they are fluctuating due to algo nature

Yes lots of shit coins out there 

All shitcoins that don't even have a whitepaper. They'll go down to zero faster that you can retarget your rigs.

Some [edit: actually most] of these masternode coins are pure filth.

I think that is before the cost of electricity. If I include electricity price, it is less than $20 per day.

I build my own spreadsheet that pulls data to monitor the coin that I mine.

Thanks for the Crypto zone calculator...  Did not saw this.

Hey i keep getting this stratum connection interrupted BS. There is nothing wrong with my connection.. Anyone else? Seems to happen with the alexis miner from ahashpool.

8 x 1080ti will give you ca. $30 a day at today's rates
