Guys, what about cloud mining for ZCash?
It could be a solution?
For example mining in Microsoft Azure (there is 150$ free credit each month)
I have (and I can setup) 5 Azure accounts and mine on those (Windows or Linux) if is profitable.

maybe NiceHash? I never used it but i think you buy hashing power directly off miners. should be better than genesis and so on. Cloud mining isn't a good option for Zcash i think:

people assume that cloud mining is dumb or a scam. but i think that it depends on what u're expecting from a coin. if u think a coin is going to rise like hell, then buy the coin. if you think the price is going to be stable and hashing power as well, then buy a contract. Price raises = more miners = less income. price stable = same miners = plausible ROI and profit. of course, nothing like hands on mining Tongue

Your answer does not have nothing to do with my question ... Wink

I understand that you want to increase your number of posts but with the new rules you should be more careful.
There is a risk to be excluded anytime

just read again Wink

Does it matter if we use addnode=alphatestnet.z.cash or betatestnet.z.cash?

Those cloud mining contracts are a total joke, only the providers will make money on them. I doubt they will ever roi...

I think a bunch of rx470s is the sweet spot for watts to sol/s, you can get almost 20 sol/s with 1375 straps currently. It is also likely there will be future improvement to make the miner faster and rx 470 is only $200.

Yeah. It is no longer profitable to mine cryptocurrencies, in my opinion. Especially with cloud mining, in which, you end up paying more in maintenance fees, contract, and other factors. (not to mention that most of them have been scams). That is why it is best to mine at home (depending on electricity rates in your country) with your very own mining rig, in which, you are certain that you will get the right amount of coins, and also you wouldn't risk losing most of your money when compared to cloud mining (if they scam you and run away with your money)

It will be pretty interesting how much mining difficulty would increase over time, once ZCash launches this Friday. If it gets enough interest, then the difficulty might rise very quickly, thus making it less possible to profit in short time. As for me, I will put my rig to mine right away when ZCash is launched immediately.

yes but it does not work right with multiple gpu, i'm getting a very low hashrate

Did you set the number of cores in the batch file (-t x)?

no, i need to modify the config? what is the line to add exactly?

this one:

Quote

nheqminer_x64_SSE2.exe -l usa -u yourbtcaddress.Worker_name -t x

where x = number of your cores

mmh no, i didn't add this, cpu has somethign to do witht he performance? i just have a dual core there like everyone else runnign a six gpu rig

I agree with that totally. The cloud mining contract are 5 times over expensive. But people will still buy that.

The Genesis mining contract is too expansive. The 60H costs $2600. With 2x 390x you can get 60H yourself.

Yeah. I've had the same thought too. In this case, I would be earning more with my rig rather than depending on a cloud mining contract. If ZCash had an ICO, I would've bought plenty of coins in order to sell them later for profit. But, it seems that ZCash won't have an ICO so the only chance to get some coins would be via mining upon its release or buying a few coins on an exchange quickly before price starts to rise. Grin

Quote from: Dolmater on October 24, 2016, 01:01:45 PM

The 390x costs about $400 at the moment. That is just 15% of the Genesis mining cost, and you can sell the 390x later.

Thanks mate. This actually makes a lot more sense than spending more money on a contract in which it can reduce your chances of getting profit at all. I expect to reach ROI from within a year once I start mining ZCash with my rig.
