Re: My new ZEC + XMR+ ETH thread builds info links thoughts and photos.
BTW, I moved all my rigs to selling hash at Nicehash Equihash/ZCASH and Cryptonite/XMR market to fully leverage the nice rise of BTC now at 809$. Poloniex and Shapeshift is taking too much from me over time - rather cut off all of that and go to Nicehash and get paid directly in BTC. It may work out to be the same but at least I get BTC upfront.
You're losing a considerable chunk of profit using nicehash. Mine directly to the exchange as exchanges pay network fees.
Well nicehash has the option to provide miners directly bitcoins instead of altcoin being mined, and with the current bitcoin price hike, who knows what'd be the value of bitcoin the next day.
Till this hike remains, I guess it isn't a bad idea to move to nicehash, specially if you lack time to exchange the altcoins on exchanges.
