It doesn’t scale linearly so no it won’t be that high and you’d be looking at more like a circa 5x improvement with the best GPU miner. Also it is 8 physical cores or hyper-threading as the latter doesn’t seem to add much if any performance and in my tests actually decreased performance.

More than halfway through a crowd fund for a fraction of the $60,000 you suggested, we’re at 11.7% funding from 5 contributors. Where do you think the lack of interest is?
I agree with Zainblaze, I think there’s interest. You’ve only given people 4 days, it takes longer than that to organize funds. For example, I’d be willing to contribute however all my money is in $USD. There’s some problem with my coinbase account and they are not responding to my tickets, c’mon coinbase! The other thing about this crowdfund is that it’s been conflated with the Cuckoo Cycle project, which seems like it’s an awesome project, but people only have so much mental bandwidth, if the terms look confusing they’re just going to scroll past.

Yeah, I agree with @geomantik . The message must be very clear: 20BTC to open source ZCash GPU + CPU miner. That’s it. That’s what people are after.
Also, you should leave the crowdfunding open until launch. Why not leave it open, why just 4 days? I really don’t understand. The more we approach from the deadline, the more people will be willing to give BTC to have hash power ready for day one.
Generally I think that people aren’t sure what they are crowdfunding and how it would benefit the ecosystem. Would the optimizations be applicable to CPU mining only? Would they provide improved optimization for GPU mining etc.
You would benefit greatly from some comparison and ‘laymen terms’ explanation is my guess.
The money is definitely out there.
can someone help by estimating the following
If network hash rate/s is 169/s
difficulty is 1700
block size is 1000
and your hash rate of mining rig is 2 sol/s then what would you expect or what are the chances of mining a ZEC and after how much time plz can someone explain
The simplest way to think of this is what % of the global hashpower do you have so 2/169 = ~1.18%
So assuming a block reward of 12.5 ZEC you could expect 1.18% of it (obviously averaged out over a long time). So a day where there are 7220 ZEC mined you could expect ~85 ZEC a day.
