Mining Rig Build Log - #3

in mining •  7 years ago 

I've always wanted to dive into mining rigs but never took the plunge. I even purchased a pre-built frame that never arrived (and thankfully was refunded). Never went beyond that.

Anyways, a question: I noticed you plan to mine Zcash initially. How long do you expect this rig to last in terms of profitability? Electric costs and waning profits have always hampered my mining ambitions.

That is fortunate you got your money back on the frame, mining isn't for everyone. I will be doing some testing over the next few days once I have the final components. I am fortunate that the electricity is free for my rigs so that really helps my profitability. At the current difficulty and price I expect an ROI of 7 months if I stick with Zen Cash. However I anticipate the price may increase over the next few months as they continue to develop the currency and bring secure nodes online. This will have the most impact on the ROI I reckon.

Good for you with the electric!

Thanks for the info.
