Somewhere I read that the new ZHash algorithm is based on the Equihash 144,5 variant.
Do you think BitcoinZ will be still minable with Nvidia GTX 1060 3Gb GPUs?

BitcoinZ: ASIC resistant coin with unique algorithm

Correct me if I'm wrong but Equihash is not like Ethash which is very ram dependant.
I believe Equihash is more focused on gpu performance and core clock which is why Nvidia is a better choice than AMD.
So I think mining BitcoinZ will work fine with 3gb cards.

Bitcoinz is getting hot, geting more value, and bigger community every day. Mine them while nethash isn't big. Useing simple rig almost 3k BTCZ per day.

ZHash, hmmm I rather like that  Wink

I do too.  Someone mentioned re-branding btcz to just Z.  I like that as well.  

Look how many "btc" alts there are, including beloved btcz.  I like renaming/rebranding.

BTCD, BTCG, BTCGS, BTCP, BTCR, BTCS, BTCS, BTCSP, BTCZ, DBTC, MBTC, WBTC

80% of nowaday cryptos will fall, 10% will run away rebranding each time and we Gonna Rule the last 10% who fight! BitcoinZ is Bitcoin 2.0 truly!

Sorry for the noob question, i'v been mining BTCZ for a while now I like the project a lot and think it has potential, when the new Algo is implemented will I have to update my wallet? also what else will I have to change in order to be able to mine under the new algo?
Hey Minetree,

You won't have to do anything with your wallet.  This will only affect mining new coins.  After the fork, you will need to use a miner program and pool that supports the new algo.  Details are still in work, but plans are being made to assure both will be ready for the fork.

How about Eggcoin ? If you are an egghead. Just an idea.

It requires you to pay a good amount of attention to the markets all the time. Buy and hold strategy with projects you deem high quality is rather how I work Smiley

Buy, hold, mine and trade.  Trade meaning have some bags ready for dump too. As it is today.

To much talk about no name shit exhanges...

To much talk about wasting 10 BTC on no name shit exchanges

Not enough talk on what algo is going replace equihash...


Price of btcz keeps dropping

@BitcoinZTeam #BitcoinZ #BTCz We are pleased to announce Zhash, a new hashing algorithm designed with the goal of hardening the Equihash protocol to be more ASIC resistant.

Find more about this effort on our github page:

https://github.com/btcz/bitcoinz/issues/38

Very good decision. I waiting for that info. BitcoinZ allways ASIC resistance!

If we change the algo to new (like ZHash) that is not in use by any big coin, no one will be interested in building an ASIC just for BTCZ. If in some case someone do, that would mean that price of BTCZ is such that we are all millioners.

Won't it be less decentralized by shutting ascis out ? (Still stupid as fuck..)

Wow. I was just talking and price went from $0,003534 to $0,003537 on coinmarketcap.com.

No, because ASICs are usually run by big farms. And those big farms are going to point their massive hash at one single pool. You want a whole nation like Iceland and China to dominate BitcoinZ?

ASICs are terrible.

I wanted to say this.

Look what happen to BTC and LTC.  Try mining with a GPU.  No payout.  Big farms own these coins.

ASIC Mini for Equihash bury GPUs.  The maxi will ruin ZCash and Zen.

There will always be research going on for ASIC like mining devices as crypto offers a lot of opportunity. Do you think it is possible to prevent ASICS from mining once and for all or will it always be a fight of pro ASIC and anti ASIC groups?
