Ok, thanks! And between the 290x and the 390x is there a suggestion? Have they both always done well in maybe other currencies to? Or is there one of them that shoots out? Sorry for this maybe off topic reply!! I just want to make an assessment for possible further future to, after that zcash maybe gets to difficult in a couple of years

@Claymore, profitability is still reasonably good with v8. With a 6x480RX rig I get about 50% profit (and 50% goes to power costs, € 0,18 per kW), with a performance of about 1125 Sol/s.  You have kept a lot of us mining zcash with your software, please keep up the good work.
I was wondering: are you working on a v9? Any news on that?

Thank you for confirmation

Well its time to leave dwarfpool.  the payouts per block along with the amount of shares submitted jus dont add up.  Guess ill giving mining pool hub a shot while i get my solo setup running.  What a waste of time on dwarfpool.

 1) Profitability. Quite a few folks chase the most profitable coin.
 2) ETH seems to have finally hit the "2GB cards can't handle the DAG file size" barrier, which probably forced some of those rigs into something else - like ZEC - that doesn't have that limit.
 3) People keep building more and more new rigs, since there are a few GPU mineable coins with good profitability right now - and ZEC is one of those.
     ETH difficulty has ALSO been climbing a fair bit this past week despite 2) above and the sliding ETH price.

 UFO miners are known scammers. Ignore them.

mmmm ... then for some reason I'm having issues receiving them on poloniex.

 Kinda - HBM 2 instead of HBM 1 for RAM, and the same sort of tweeks that got applied to the archetecture of the RX series so far.

I am getting
0,125 ZEC on flypool (average over 2 days)
0,12 ZEC on dwarfpool (average over 1,5 days -- perhaps just bad luck)
standardized to 1000sol/s (displayed on pool not miner) in 24h average
whattomine says I can expect 0.1188 ZEC
