I was mining ZEN but switched to Prohashing.com and convert Script, X11, SHA256 and Equihash to BTC, Zen and a few more coins. I think this is the best strategy for now suitable for my group, leveraging BTC current value and accumulate key alts while there are still cheap.
Do you have any Avalon miners pointed at Prohashing? I couldn't for the life of me to get them to work with a space in the password field. They would never start hashing. If I just put a=sha-256 in the password field it mines fine. But if I put in a=sha-256 n=avalon it would never start mining. Anything with a space in the password field makes it choke. I even tried to put it in quotes with no luck.
yeah.... a=sha-256 only at the pwd field ~ according to the Sokolowski brothers who runs PH, the backend is quite complex and for now their priority to get SHA-256 mining stable first.
