No, I bought 8 of them. The problem comes in with the ratio … I think it stands at 250 (something) to 1 for a Bitcoin ! It just keeps on getting worse …
in 10 years, at this rate the ratio would be around 3000 : 1 … if ZCash survives !

Bad business. z9 mini were not profitable in a very short time.
It is not a sprint race, this is a long distance race.
Do you mean for an individual? The pools are chugging away at it and hashrate is climbing: https://zcha.in/statistics/hashrate

Yes, as individual. I bought 8 x Z9 Mini and I am driving it with Solar (no electricity costs). However, my problem is not with the mining as such, but with the constant decrease of ZEC value. I always compare it to the pacemaker, Bitcoin, and it is constantly dropping value against it. Currently,one BTC equals 213 ZEC (it was 50 just a couple of months ago).
It is not the Mini I am worried about - it is the VALUE of ZEC. I bought 8 x Z9 Mini and I am driving it with Solar (no electricity costs).

one way to increase zcash exchange rates is to encourage more asian fraud-barn exchanges to delist zcash, imo.

Or we can wait for the halving which is designed to increase the price by lowering supply in any crypto following the BTC distribution model before we come to those kinds of conclusions?
Are you aware that ZCASH has the highest ATL of any coin following a Bitcoin like distribution model during their high inflation phase? Why do you think that is?

Maybe we should do some type of voodoo dance to help increase the price.
Price action is limp man, so very limp
Or we can find the proper entrance and exit points for our trades. You know like people trading the stock market do?
Good example of how to share information about project.

Price is low because of inflation. That’s it.

It is not true. Because there is not enough demand for the existing supply. Otherwise, coins with a large number of coins would not have such a capitalization, it all depends on the total value for all coins, and not just for issued ones. Say, if you could put 4.5 billion into a coin, then the price would increase because the market capacity increased and demand exceeded supply. What is the difference how much is issued per day if the capitalization remains at the same level and even decreases from year to year (when issuing 3.5 million coins, zcash had a capitalization of 1.4 billion dollars as I recall)

In my opinion, this rating of dollar issues looks good for ZEC.
The current price reflects a sufficient level of demand. Let me remind you that the price of BTC in this period of life ranged from $2.5 to $5, falling from $28, where it soared in a few months after a powerful publication in Forbes. Six months before the first halving, many people stated a death of Bitcoin. However, in absolute terms, the halving to reduced supply in the market and the price immediately reacted. The update of the maximum happened a few months later and this brought new people to the coin.
My point is that the infrastructure now being created around Zcash will sharply increase the number of z2z. Information dissemination of growing indicators will coincide with the beginning of a growing price trend. The rising price will also increase the demand for new ASIC z15 and this will cause a sharp increase in hashrate and prime cost of mining, which will also reduce the possibility of selling coins at low prices.
If you are interested in the price of a coin so much, just wait for these processes, they are destined and logically calculated.

If we consider such a scenario, then everything is logical, but there is another: 1) The offer after halving will not decrease (there will be 10 million issued and 11 not yet issued coins), if we consider the proposal to issue new coins per day, then yes, it will decrease, but as an asset it remains at the same level. 2) An increase in network speed depends on the price or price on speed, the dispute of which will not end, it all depends on the goal, with Bitcoin it was like this, because for people it was something new, while the role of the whales who pumped up the coin should not be forgotten.
I can say that if there is a sharp rise in price on zec, then the network speed will increase, but if the network speed increases, the price will not change, look at the speed graph that is always up and the price that is always down.
3) Infrastructure, yes they will definitely increase the use and consequently the demand, but the infrastructure that is being created will not do this, because it does not answer the question: “why use zec”? in other words, there is no exclusivity for the consumer, but if you achieve this, then everything will trample vertically upward (the main rule of the market: demand creates supply or it is not enough to produce a product; you need to sell it)

Therefore, everyone makes investment decisions on their own, I will not convince you of anything.
I bought zec before everyone started shouting that this is the future, and ecc has not yet begun to make decisions that led to a situation where the community almost disappeared.
