Nicehash and zpool huh. Somehow that doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.

Could you please clarify the reason why it does not inspire a lot of confidence?

I've always used Nicehash pool since 2014 and never had problems with them, I was mining before on multipool, but they went off for good.

Because the fees vs a direct mining, more profitable.

Nicehash takes a big chunky fee and zpool... an even chunkier one. Tongue

Just about to build two 5x 1080 rigs.
I'm a bit torn on where to point them at.

Should I use Nemo's auto-switcher on Zpool (and get 20% hashrate stolen Tongue

)?
Should I use Nemo's auto-switcher on Miningpoolhub (and miss out on LBRY Undecided

)?
Should I mine a single coin (DGB, Zcash, LBRY...) and be subject to large price and diff fluctuations?

Any other options?

mine skein coin aurora DGB or x17 they are good for 1080ti, you can also try the new sweepstakecoin, the 1080ti is good on jha algo, for now i would suggest to mine a single coin, and hold there is a chance that many other coin are pumped, don't do auto conversion

It's a rig of "plain" 1080's (not Ti). But the relation will be the same.
Thanks for the suggestions, always good to get ideas outside of the useful, yet limited realm of whattomine.com...

Curious as to why you specify EWBF's miner for Zcash. Is it better than Claymore's?

Nevermind. Just found out Claymore's version is only for AMD.

It would be interesting to find out how that rig work with claymore's dual miner (ETH+LBC)

Poorly.

On that rig Mine ZEC with EWBF to nicehash to directly convert it to BTC or keep the coins yourself.

Or mine Skein on zpool.

Or you could use nemominer on zpool, personally the numbers add up on zpool. There was some weird stuff a few weeks back.

This kind of question after to buy 1080 ?
It's a litle late.
1080 are best with directly mining ZEC, but unfurnately, ZEC is not the more profitable coin today.

It is best to mine ZEC.

Thanks.
Any more opinions?

You can mine ethereum but the profitability will be lower. Zcash should get you 500H/s which is the second fastest hashrate on a GPU.
