For most, gpu mining equihash is a losing game right now.
Most precisely, it would be revenue, not profit, since electrical costs are not factored in here.
That being said, thanks for keeping up with the numbers. It has been bizarrely entertaining watching the plane circle the ground.
Even ASIC ROI is more than a year already.
and difficulty is keep flying highâŚ
If Zcash price not coming up, even ASIC is not profitable soon.
The only winner will be manufacturer onlyâŚ
so sadâŚ
I wanted to place an update on per day profit due to the current market (as of 11/27/18) and maybe for historical perspective.
Disclaimer: GPU numbers are from what to Mine based on my memory and their stats. I no longer have any GPUâs.

Interesting note Whattomine no longer listâs EquiHash under GPU tab, ASIC tab only!
11/27/2018 the numbers are:
(Stock settings!!)
Profit for 1080TI (before electric) - Zec $0.12 (after power Negative $0.26)
Profit for 1080TI (before electric) - top two coins for the day
RavenCoin - $0.71 (X16R) (after power $0.34)
BitCoinDiamond - $0.67 (BCD) (after power $0.31)
And
Z9 Mini ASIC based on 12.5K
NiceHash - EquiHash $1.95
ZEN $1.82
ZCL $2.03
ZEC $2.16
BitCoinPrivate (BTCP) $1.90
Z9 ASIC based on stock 40.8k H/s
NiceHash - EquiHash $6.40
Horizon ZEN $5.96
ZCL - $6.70
ZEC - $7.08
Komodo (KMD) $6.35
BitCoinPrivate (BTCP) $6.24
Power cost for ASICâs ranged from USD $0.25 to $0.39 per day
with a 1080ti using it on Nicehash you can earn roughly $3.50 a day after electricity depending on your rates
Thatâs not too shabby. Whatâs the best way to setup NiceHash in Windows without it throwing all kinds of malware flags?
create a folder, make an exception for that folder to not be scanned, then install it in that folder⌠you might still get the occasional popup from windows defender or malware, just allow the exception and that should resolve it
Thanks for the info , I have a 2070 sitting around that doesnât get much use, could be a good way to earn some BTC to stack ZEC with. Iâll give it a try.
