I really hope it can change mining for the better, I used to be able to mine Zcoin when it was profitable and even with a CPU, but now this difficulty is very disproportional.
Zcoin mining profit is almost equial to Ethereum mining profit on the same GPU equipment. Currently GPU mining profits on all coins in deep ass, say thanks to fckng $hitmain and other asic manufacturers who fcked up all GPU miners
Yeah,That's the way things are.
You need better, more efficient equipment to stay in this industry (it is just such price for progression in this world)
And sometimes you are in profit while another time you are in loss.
I think better to focus about project - its ideas and how devs work to implement it!
