Well, I believe sol/s is the same as h/s. 1.000.000 h/s = 1 mh/s ---

So, for example, if my ETH hash rate is 70 mh/s then my ZEC hash rate will be 70 sol/s? ---

More something like 30MH/s to 444sols/s on 1070 only for example. ---

70mh/s = 7,000,000 sol/s 1sol/s = 1 h/s basically ---

@jimmy97one61 has a real life example. I’m just showing you what sol and h mean kind of ---

OK. Since my ETH rate is known to me at 70 mh/s for the equipment I have, what would I enter here: > **[Mining Calculator Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash and Monero](https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/zec)** > > Find out what your expected return is depending on your hash rate and electricity cost. Find out if it's profitable to mine Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, DASH or Monero. Do you think you've got what it takes to join the tough world of cryptocurrency... My watts = 800 my rate = 0.14 ---

Ethereum and Zcash use different algorithms so there is no way of knowing your ZEC hashrate from your ETH hashrate. You could try something like this to get your card hashrate - you are interested in the Equihash Sol/s rate [NiceHash - Leading Cryptocurrency Platform for Mining and Trading](https://www.nicehash.com/?p=calc) ---

What card/cards do you have? It’ll just be easier to look through the forum for the sol conversion from MH/s or we can tell you. ---
