stuck on ZCash Equihash [First round] for 2 days

the mining page on prohashing is stuck saying the first round for zcash is ongoing?

Its been the same since two days, reward proportion increases slightly every hour.

Is this behavior expected ?? Please help ...

mining - zcash
pplns
equihash

Yes.

PPLNS works by going until a block is found. If no block is found, it just keeps going. Reward % is how much you have put into the search for this block.

Current luck is 59,202,786.60 % You shouldn't expect anything until that goes much closer to 100%

Nobody has been mining PPLNS for the coin ZCash until you started mining it.

ZCash is a difficult coin, so if nobody else joins you, you should expect that it will take a long time for a block to be found. That said, the work you already put in will cause you to be paid when a block is found, even if you don't continue PPLNS mining.

If you want to be paid immediately, you can switch to FPPS mining, which is the default, and you'll be paid for every share you find.

I am mining Ethash in PPLNS and I have not received anything.
How long does it take to receive?

In PPLNS mode, you'll earn money once the pool finds a block. However, there haven't been any Ethereum blocks found yet. Once one is found, you'll receive payment.

what is the current luck of Ethereum ?? How do I know how much is missing? %?
How favorable is the PPNS method?

You can easily see that on the status page.

Currently we are sitting at about 208% luck, which means we've put in about half of the total hash power for the difficulty.

how long on average does it take to finish a round ?? Is PPLNS worth it? are the profits bigger or little difference?
I always use PPS + OR FPPS! Plus the profits are well below, PPLNS seems to be more profitable.

It depends on how many people are hashing in that mode, and how much you are putting in relative to that. I really suggest you read the information posted on this site that explains all of it.
