I have no idea why you all look for various ways to mine other coins and then buy ZEIT.
no hassle of mining something else/new, and transferring and converting it into ZEIT.
Because a) you get more Zeit for your hashpower by mining something else & b) you are helping the market by buying (increasing the demand) rather than mining (increasing the supply)
SIMPLES!
You probably were on a very unlucky pool or solo...
Until the last two days you clearly could make much more Zeit by mining it instead of mining doge or pretty much anything else and then converting it to btc and buying zeit.
No cigar!
I was on either Dedicated or YourMine, both have decent stats.
It was only 2 days ago that I switched.
For a day I made about 56% more by mining Doge, now that's on a dip so I started VertCoin at Lunchtime & I'm gonna give BlitzCoin a shot on Monday nite.
