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.

Hi mate,
I have zero experience with Zel, just know their tehnical specifications.
Nobody can tell you what coin is worth mining because market is so unpredictable. My remark about personalization string being command line option is just pragmatic: every coin which choose to provide ASIC resistance by using equihash 144,5 aka zhash will introduce it's own string. And it's easy to implement that in bminer, one hour of work tops. Bminer tend to have good hashing performance, if not the best among others (dstm, ewbf, ...). By adding this option it will be future proof and more usable.
I have been mining Safecoin until recent reward halving come into play. Now LitecoinZ is fairly easy to mine but not established on big exchanges. Many equihash 200,9 coins will migrate to zhash in order to opt out Z9 and similar ASICs. I think even ZEC, ZCL, BTCP, ZEN will take "zhash" path just after they finish more important changes in code (rebasing, forking, whatever).

P.S. I would also like to see both equihash 96,5 aka Mars for MNX and equihash 192,7 for ZER in bminer. ZER is so undervalued and has great potential.
