Granted I am still relatively new to all of this but your statement about Claymore's profit above doenst make logical sense to me.  With your givens that 50% of ETH miners moving to ZEC but it will in turn be twice as profitable to mine, isnt that a net wash to Claymore?  Example using round numbers:  100 ETH miners making $10/day = $10 for Claymore (1% of $1,000).  assuming your givens:  50 ETH miners (half) making $20/day (double) = the same $10/day for Claymore (50 x $20 X 1%).  What am I missing?  If anything, I don't see how a 50% drop in miners equates to a doubling of profit.  Are you saying if 50% of resources currently dedicated to mining ETH move elsewhere that everyone reamaining doing ETH profits will double?  Isn't the main factor in mining ETH the difficulty? While it seems the difficulty should eventually move downward with fewer miners, it seems crazy to think it could do so to effect a 2x impact.  Anyway, I am probably missing a big factor in this but it's pretty interesting stuff.
