So LTC is still turning a decent profit?.. I'm doing 3xLTC and 1xDoge, idk which is worth mining at thing point.

I'm such a damn noob.

Litecoin is baseline profitability. There are usually a couple dozen other scrypt coins that are more profitable, but they change with the wind, which is why multi-pools (or profit-switching pools) are popular. We've just been mining Doge because even though it's not the most profitable alt-coin to mine at any given moment, it's been reliably in the top 10, while the other coins can be in the top 5 one hour, and then below litecoin in an instant. Lots of market manipulation going on, plus the profit-switching pools with high hashrates easily overwhelm a coin, make the difficulty spike, dump the mined coins on the market, and lower the value for a while.

Right now Doge profitability is on the low side. Went down overnight and the difficulty is up. But most miners are sheep to the profitability rankings, so that just means the net hash/difficulty is going to decrease soon as people jump ship.

I haven't had much time to research anything the last few days. So just kept the miners running.

The few areas I read had all been very confusing. Since the markets don't stay stable for more than 24hrs sometimes, its hard to get the truth out of the internet. This week I'll have more time.

There is no truth. Don't trust anyone who says that X coin is going to go up or Y coin is going to crash. All manipulation or baseless speculation.

Yea, I understand that.

I'm just looking for some factor which links the relationship between performance and profitability. Simply meaning is, what coin has low buy in and static rewards and what coins have high buy in with high rewards.

I'm getting into this super late, the landscape changes within a 24hr period and changes even more in a 72hr period. My goal here is to just find a stable coin/market and just stick with it. I might devote 1x7870/270X to mining the high risk/high rewards coins.

I'll talk to you more on skype or something when i'm home.

I just beat Deadpool. Short arse game. Glad I didn't pay full price for it. The humor in it is very childish but I admit I lol'd a lot at it.

I loved Deadpool because of that.

The humor was so stupid it was funny. Glad it was short, because that humor would have gotten old.

I am being omniscient and pretentious when I say; this is the only thread on the GB which speaks the truth?

I don't think I'm even going to turn on the Superbowl today. I already dislike the NFL and outside of wanting Manning to win another one I couldn't care any less about this game. That and I just feel like playing some more video games today since it's been a few months since I really played anything.

It is tradition for us here, only reason i'm watching. Every year, no matter who is playing, the whole family gets together at our Grandparents.

Mostly just fun and a reason to cook, eat and others to drink.

I'm with you if it wasn't for the tradition. The NFL is terrible with all the new rules and actually is a worse product than years past.

I ended up watching the first half while I download Batmak Arkhan Origins. What a bad decision that was. Denver's offensive line is bad.

Minecraft is one of those games that I've never gotten around to playing or really learning anything about. Most of my knowledge of it comes from that south park episode. I do enjoy a good sandbox game though.

I love nfl but this game sucks. There are 2 tasks I care about this:
1. Red hot chili peppers
2. 24 commercial they are teasing

I made the mistake of playing MC when it came out a few years ago while I was prescribed to Vyvanse. Huge mistake.

I was the same way until I just got it and now hosting a server. It's a lot more fun to play with some friends
