Hi everyone,
As I was wondering myself if buying Batch 3 of Z9 mini or the newly launched Z9 is going to be profitable, or what is going to be the ROI, I tried a simulation, and I thought about sharing it, as I saw other ppl ask the same questions around the forum.
See https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1lrROgkZ5Xhp6OJBqPPCvBXgS8zJi-4XpUzx2N71P8VQ , you can make a copy paste and play with the values

TODO
- number of ZEN/ZEC/1000sol/day is copy pasted from whattomine, I think a dynamic include is a good TODO
- price of shipping may not be accurate

Explanations:
- it runs the simulation on ZEC and ZEN
- it has 2 simulations, over clocked and stock

Configurations:
- projected budget (see actual below in the bottom)
- % for customs taxes
- electricity cost in cents
- whattomine values
- projected difficulty factor (i.e. 5 it means the total network hashrate will increase *5 times when new miners are released)
- projected % price modification may be positive or negative (i.e. -25% means a 25 percent decrease, 200 means a 200% increase). Once you change this you can see the new price will update. Leave 0 for current market price.
- coupons: assuming you will use coupons, it needs the value and the effective $/coupon spent

I cannot offer a lot of support on this, and I do not guarantee the formulas work fine, use at your own risk.

I am curious about a status update on hashrate vs actual mined ZEN.
I run 3*Z9 on zhash.pro with a total of 50.2 ksol/s and I just mined 3.77 ZEN / 24 hours. It is under the whattomine projection and also under the zhash.pro projected payout.

Anyone else? Is ZEC more profitable on a certain pool?

Sold

Anyone, please only use the email i wrote above. The forum is limited to only 2 messages / day for me
Thank you

Hi everyone,
thank you for the interest in my coupons, I cannot reply via private message because there is a limit of 2 messages / day.
I understand there are a lot of trolls and fake accounts, but paying ~15-20 bucks if you are beginner user just to be able to send messages is an outrageuous rule.

Pls hit me up on discord, same user as here ( tradinghero79 ) to discuss the details. I also have telegram or email tradinghero79@gmail.com , thank you for the understanding, I will be as fast as possible with replies.   

I agree about the $100 ones. For the $250 the price on the forum is $50/piece. what do you think?

try flypool as written before, works fine for me since 3 days.

all coupons at $320 escrow included

I think after the update Snowgem is not working anymore. Can anyone confirm they are successfully mining it as of today?
I tried XSG on Zhash.pro, and although the miner shows accepted shares, i have no update on the pool. Mining since ~15 minutes.

still available , new price
