The upgrade brought the new ZelHash algorithm and protection against ASICs and FPGAs. Since then ZEL mining has remained profitable at all times which is confirmed by <a href=\"https:\/\/2cryptocalc.com\/\">2CryptoCalc calculator<\/a>. ZelCash is still the most profitable coin for mining even today. The screenshot below shows daily performance for 300 Nvidia 1070 Ti cards. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ZelCash<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> outdoes Beam, Zcoin, and Ethereum.

The program was developed for AMD graphics cards. Most of Nvidia cards are supported as well, but their operation stability and speed on lolMiner is questionable.
