Re: Bitmain launches the Z9 Equihash miner

Based on what I am seeing on my Z9 so far I am not that hopeful at this point it is going to ROI. There must be some secret place everyone else is mining that is getting them great numbers. So far I haven't seen it. Just hoping it will keep earning like this for some time or there is no way to get ROI. Bitmain tossing some crappy coupons at us was an insult.

I'm not sure what results you are getting but if I can sell my mined ZEC at .025 (lower than current price) then based on how much ZEC I mined in the last 24 hours (0.17894627) I only need 50 days to make back the 0.21924398 BTC that the miner cost. I know all of those variables will look worse over time but starting at a 50 day ROI is pretty spectacular in today's hardware market. I strongly suspect that even a very pessimistic view of prices and hashrate increase should still yield at least a break even.

I am on flypool and not getting that kind of number. Where are you mining?

Well that was my first 24 hours on viabtc but my second 24 hours was already much less, around .165 ZEC. I moved over to MPH to test the waters there but I have a feeling we are going to see pretty serious and regular profit decreases in the near term here. Hopefully it will level off a bit with bitmain not delivering anything (maybe they are building out their own mine though) and innosilicon maybe or maybe not having a lot of inventory at the moment.
