The Bitmain Z15 Pro is BACK in my mining farm… but is Zcash mining still worth it in 2026? In this video, I unbox and set up the newer 860KSol Bitmain Z15 Pro, update the firmware, connect it to PowerPool, test the power consumption, noise levels, and check current Zcash mining profitability.
I also talk about why I decided to spend nearly $6,000 on another Z15 Pro after selling my previous one for a profit, and whether I think Zcash price appreciation can continue from here. With more miners coming online every day, we’ll also discuss how network hash rate could impact future mining profits.
⚡ Current profitability at the time of recording is around $40/day before power.
