i am sure that the difficulties of zec will be increase as there are many starter miners see that mining zec is an opportunity to them and they can get much of zec right now. but its depend on how much hashrate we have to get much of zec, beside that i hope that zec could be increase too.
Yes, but the higher the hashrate you want to have the higher price you should pay for the miners. Idk, I still think that to mine Bitcoins is more profitable because:
1. The price of BTC is more than 20 times higher than the price of ZEC.
2. ZEC is new and unstable, so the price of it might drop even more in the near future.
Anytime bitcoin mine still profitable. even compare with ZEC. Let say if bitcoin can guarantee his price. and everytime the supply will be decreasing and it will make the price will increase. economy 101.
The mining phase of ZEC still a long.
I still mine the ZEC. It is profitable.
But for the time being, ETH is more profitable.
For miner who are mining ZEC are making some decent money with ZEC but the people who have invested in zec are waiting for their turn, but it will take some time to reach to at least 0.1 btc.
miners sell because they have to pay their bills and keep their operation running to make money with other things they are mining. and others are either bag-holding and hoping for a rise to get out or they are trading the ups and downs for profit. nobody is waiting for miracles.
I agree, if I was mining ZEC I'd sell them as soon as they were mined because the price of it is still high and no one knows what will happen to the price in the future. I personally think that there are more chances for the price to drop than to rise.
