I’ve been mining ZEC for around a month now with a GTX 1080. I used to get 1 - 2 payouts a day; the interval between the payouts was around 14 - 15 hours. However, recently, I’ve noticed it takes 18 - 19 hours in between payouts. Is this because of the rising price of ZEC? I use Flypool, could it be because of the pool? Or is it simply just a rise in difficulty? If anyone could clarify it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Increase in miners. Increase in difficulty. Choose one or both 
To expand, the network hashrate has gone up which means more miners (or at the very least more mining power). This drives difficulty up as well. Higher difficulty and higher number of miners equals lower payouts. This equates to taking longer to hit your auto payout number.
no one told you its gonna be like that for ever or that it will be easy.
