Thanks, guys!

Its good to know that zcash is asics resistant. Even though electricity is high looks like the numbers can make themselves up in about 10 months. Does difficulty raise a lot or can we expect 1$ per card profit for long? thats what bothers me because i know for bitcoin its pretty difficult even to make ROI...

Does anybody mine altcoins seriously or is it too risky. Maybe i can consider a different location if planning for 3-4 years or getting a good electricity deal some way... But since you can resell later the equipment makes me feel altcoins could be better?

13 cents for power is okay for 1 or 2 builds  don't go nuts.

1) can you use the heat it makes?
2) do you have any parts at all?

Zcash uses Equihash algorithm for POW which is ASIC resistant. Also they aren't going to be mined by asic in the future.
Your electricity costs are very high, if you want profitable mining, than it don'y worths because while mining with many gpu, also at the same time you need fan engine to protect them from overheat. Every GPU has fan good fan engine but while you are using them with full power, you need that.

Hello community!

Im thinking about mining ethereum and zcash, but im not sure since i have never mined and have a few questions that dont know if even reading all the forums i might be able to have them answered.

1. Last news i heard about when ETH transitions to PoS is early-mid 2017? Are there any recent news?

2. Is zcash going to always be GPU friendly or is it going to be mined by ASICs in the future?

Will i be able to make profit once the hardware is paid months ahead assuming i pay around 13 cents for electricity? What do you think?
