Claiming eth is the most profitable shows a lack of understanding of the ecosystem overall. I have been mining ZEC for the last 14 months over eth because I run all Nvidia stuff and I dont pay for power. Profitability is a case by case thing depending on a number of factors.

You are flat out wrong claiming its the most profitable to mine on Nvidia hardware.

E.G. - GTX 1070 @ 475 sols = $61/mo

         GTX 1070 @ 26 mh  = $50/mo

GTX 1070 @ 26 MH/s? Really?

Most 1070's with Micron memory are easily pushing 30.5 - 31.5 MH/s on ETH.

Lets take average 31 MH/s which according to your calculation gives:
         GTX 1070 @ 31 mh  = $59.62/mo

Now, we get $59.62 at ~105 watts power limit for ETH. I assume you are burning at least 150 watts on ZEC, right?

Claiming ZEC is more profitable than ETH shows lack of understanding....    Wink
