Hi realbminer,
Although all zhash coins use the same equihash params, they use different personalization string. Earlier it was one and only for all equihash 200,9 coins => ZcashPoW ... Now almost every zhash coin has it's own personalization string: BitcoinZ, Safecoin, ZelProof, ... You should add command line option to set that string, instead of hardcoded one.

Hi miodrag, RoninAlek, Would you please tell me more about zelcash? It's just so many equihash coins and own personalization strings ... you guys seem familiar with these coins.
Do you think it worths mining at this moment compared to other equihash coins? I'm mining bytom at this moment.

When the market crashed to under 200B ZelCash actually increased in value (https://www.livecoinwatch.com/price/Zelcash-ZEL)
It's a fairly new coin and gained great development from it's Dev team. It already released (Not 100% finished) ZelTreZ, same concept as Exodus... But you can have your own full nodes and a few other great features.
I see ZelCash as where I wanted to see BTG and their Dev team showed great progress. I think BTG, BTCZ, Zero (192.7 algo, more ASIC resistant) and ZelCash are great coins.

Bytom started out good, just the lack of exchange for the US market didn't really work for me at the time. I think there is now a way to correctly exchange it. Also they teamed up with Bitmain to make them ASIC miners which got destroyed by Bminer (and the original Chinese miner forgot the original name). The dev team didn't have a way out, which to me is a failure on their part.

Sorry for the little react and any bad grammar.
