Zcash
I have been trying to understand ZCASh and the impact this has on the monthly accounts.
On 19th June 2020, the Company purchased 750 Bitmain Z11 mining units for US$474,000 to add to the Company's existing 1,000 Bitmain Z11 mining units currently in production. The additional 750 units went into production immediately at the time of acquisition and are currently running at full capacity.
We were also told that the new rigs had a payback period of 8 months. Under normal circumstances this would mean we expect profit of $474,000 / 8 per month which is roughly $60,000 a month, but due to Zcash halving in November, I assume this means, we will making $80,000 profit from now to November and then $40,000 for December to February.
So based on 1750 machines, we can assume $80,000/750*1750 we are making $185,000, lets says $175,000 a month profit from Zcash.
On the 19th June 2020, Zcash price was around $52 and now it is $59, a 13% increase in price. On the difficulty side , it does appear we are averaging 10% higher since 19th June 2020.
So I believe we are earning about £200,000 ( changed from dollars to pounds) in profit which covers all operating and administration costs.
25% of income is accounting for £200,000 profit, which means bitcoin can produce a small surplus or breakeven while btc price is low.
If my figures are correct, this was an incredible deal by Peter
