It's not worthwhile to mine it anymore, I think everybody jumped on it! Difficulty increase of like 80% today... I guess I'll go back to ZEC
I think the price rise, last month I I was mining +2,000/day on a small test-rig, I found that sexy.pool was best, but now I'm running suprnova.cc, because I jump so much in my rigs, I'm 100% z-equihash, for now suprnova.cc is getting all the blocks,
Last week I spent a few days solo mining, I found it not very useful on average I can get more per-week on suprnova.cc than I get solo on normal rig, right now its about 8 days on a normal rig, but I can get +14,000/week on the pool, so what's the point of hoping to hit a block to get 12,500?
Anybody have opinion let me know, I HATE MINING POOLS, I want full control, and I don't want to get 'FEE'd' to death, besides like BTC, the real action these days is owning the block and getting fee's, so many reasons to solo
What other people think? When I did a LOT of bitcoin-z mining a few months ago I found that all the pools other than sexy/supr to not payout, or be a scam, some of the pools had 'min-payout' of 1,000, which I think is BULLSHIT. For this coin I think 10 is about right maybe 100, per payout. Most of the pools were not paying out at all, and they are only getting a couple blocks/day.
I looked just now, and its still the same, suprnova.cc seems to be getting 90% of the blocks
MORE important is that BITCOIN-GOLD has 1000K sols/sec mining on testnet for two weeks these idiots think they're MINING, but they're not, IMHO the EQUIHASH is being redirected I don't think POOL.GOLD is a real POOL, I think its a 'black hole' for HASHING EQUI that is redirected, and now they're directing it to bitcoin-z
Lot's of people have WOKE UP to the idea of a BITCOIN-GPU, and it was here all along, its called BITCOIN-Z, other than the 25billion bullshit, its all good.***
For past +1 months I have directed rigs to ZENCASH been making about $20/day per rig, but now with bitcoin-z more profitable I'll jump here for awhile, a few months ago in test phase I just accumulated a few 100,000 BTZ for the fuck of it, just to have them sitting around it appears now that it may be useful to get a few 100K more, while the difficulty is low,
Last month it was 200/hr, or 2000/day, now its 100/hr, or 1,000/day, but also last month the price of bitcoin-z was what? 2 satoshi? I think MORE important is that the WHALES are going to step in now that BTG is a BUST.

I think BTG is hopelessly fucked, once those 1000K sols/sec miners find out about bitcoinz,they'll be over here getting the real thing, a real BITCOIN based on GPU that works.

Its all about the price. Now according to whattomine.com its $10/day for 2,000 sols/sec, thats the best in the GPU ranking, usually BTCZ doesn't even show up in the whattomine.com,
I think the price will rise that will keep it on top for a long time, the difficulty don't mean much,
For instance right now on BITCOIN-GOLD running their testnet ( pissing your hashrate into the wind ) the difficulty is such that you would make much less than BTZC, once the price of BTG collapses because the futures ICO ppl realize that the MAIN-NET ain't NEVER COMING, then that bitcoin-gold money will have no where to go except the real bitcoin-gold and that be bitcoin-z
If Jack Liao of ASIC were smart, he would BUY bitoin-z, and fire all the idiots running the BTG scam, at least he would end up with something that works in 2017.
