Topic: Poll: Zcash. Buyer's Remorse. (Perhaps I should not have got 2 rigs) lol :) - page 3. (Read 3514 times)

I bought parts for a new rig about the time ZCash went live - but it wasn't specifically built for ZCash.
Unfortunately, I didn't switch rigs over from ETH soon enough to catch the double-digit per BTC (much less the very short triple-digit per BTC) early adopter crazy pricing - but I did get enough switched over soon enough to catch some income when it WAS still over 1BTC, so no remorse at all.

 At this point it looks like ZEC is going to go into the "basket" including coins like ETH ETC and XMR in the "whichever one is more profitable folks will switch to 'till it changes again" group.

 Up side, it's split hashrate around enough to make ALL of the "basket" more profitable via lower difficulties, for a while at least - and will probably help some when ETH goes POS to soak up some of the "nothing to do, gotta find something else" hashrate available at that point.




 And yes, I still have most of my A2 farm mining LTC (and merge-mining stuff like DOGE), though I'm not pulling in 2K+ a month on that.

no worries eth is doing well  just mine that.

Below is what I paid for 5 cards so it will be a 5 card setup. Something like 1800 bucks invested more or less I guess. Not sure yet my buddy is putting it together
at the colohub data center  I keep my Titans (some anyway others at home)

But say it runs 4k for both....The first one..Ok..that was a gimmie....still think I went over board on the 2nd one. Oh well.....use this as a 'stop check' then next time

I want to blow my Titan $$$ mining month to month on something I guess.

They will be open rig. (IF you can call open rig zip tied to racks and hanging that is)

Put the rigs on ETH or ETC (some argue ETC is better for selling due to less diff)

I'm assuming you bought some open air rigs for these setups or built them? What did you buy if I may ask?

I'm considering building/buying an open air setup.

Well drank the kool aid and have 2 new rigs 5 GPU board setups off of Newegg. (One rig is up on Silent Army (Ubuntu) the other is in the mail supposedly.)

PROBABLY COULD HAVE SKIPPED THE 2ND RIG AT THIS POINT! (you think?)

Got 10 Sapphire RX 480 Cards (see link below). Supposedly with bios tweaks and such I was told I can creep these over 50 h/s each.

Anyway thus the poll. Having a bit of buyers regret. (One OK. Two..meh....)

So take the poll and/or post here on what you all think of thie 'kool aid' drinking ZEC coin POW mining endeavor.

(Finally fell into the common trap of being (or realizing) I know am a big miner making on LTC mining 2.2k a month after expenses. errr......slipped up and forgot that is 'real
money we are talking about chump' and drank too much 'kool aid'. On the one hand it is very nice to be in this kinda position and I can mine other stuff to get out of this hole
say in a month or two and move on. But kinda embarassing that I lost track of the fact I stuck 4k probably in all this.)

Dare to Dream,  they say. Go for it, they say. OK on 1 GPU rig maybe. On 2 GPU rigs...er me thinks that was a step to far.

Hell, it is only money. Right.  Chump or Champ on this. We will see I guess.

Take the poll. Post/Vent here on do's and or dont's on this ZEC Coin POW mining bit of 'speculation'

(Damn, should have had the 'intervention' before buying the 2nd GPU rig at least!)
