Mining Zcash coin

* Currently, Zcash mining is feasible using GPU or CPU. Zcash, like ETH, is "immune" to ASIC mining chips, because it uses the Equihash algorithm. Choosing a graphics card is the first and most important step. Depending on the power of the card, income can vary greatly. The minimum GPU RAM capacity must be 1 - 2 GB. Zcash is typically mined on NVIDIA cards using the EWBF Miner program. EWBF Miner is specifically designed for NVIDIA cards and allows you to achieve high performance.

Zcash has a limit of 21 million ZEC coins that can be mined and circulated.
