Well it was inevitable. Someone is developing "Mooncoin". Guess where that is going...

What are other people mining? I'm doing DOGE, EAC, and CAT.

DOGE has gone down in price, so hopefully multipool and the like will leave it alone so I can mine more

EAC looks to be one of the better-marketed coins. Transactions were also blazing fast, which I like. Mining and holding.

CAT will be stupidly difficult soon, which will hopefully drive up the price. Purely speculative move on my part.

MOON - too early to tell, could be good if you have a lot of GH/s ready to throw at it @ launch...

Back to LTC for me these couple of days. It may not be the most profitable atm, but I have the most faith in it.

Dabbled in DOGE, but back to LTC for me. I got too much other stuff going on to worry about which coins are most profitable in the short term lol

100% agree. I'm mining doge at the moment, but it looks to have essentially evened out with LTC in terms of exchange prices, but what is odd is that it fetches WELL ABOVE exchange market value on Ebay. Highly sought by noobs I guess.

Think I'll just cash out for USD and slowly rebuild my CC holdings with my new rigs.

It's still nearly twice as profitable to mine Doge than LTC.

Price and difficulty numbers fluctuate a lot and depending on what source you use and what your electric costs are, profitability varies even more. For instance if it's 125% more profitable for the first part of the day but prices crash mid-day, you can end the day at 40%. Or if prices rise you can end at 190%. Etc. Or if a big hash enters all of a sudden it can massively increase difficulty. Or if a big hasher leaves a network it can massively reduce difficulty. There's a lot of flux so treat numbers as a rule of thumb about what happened YESTERDAY instead of what is happening today.

If you guys want LTC, mine Doge and trade for LTC, you will get twice as much.

Trade on what site?

I gave up on coinedup.

Not from my recent performance. Maybe netcodepool is ripping me off? Wemineltc is more profitable right now.

I had the same experience with netcodepool. Hours of mining and maybe a few thousand doges here an there... Rip off!

Rubbish. Doge has been consistently much more profitable to mine than LTC for this entire month. It's at its lowest now but still nearly twice LTC's profits.

http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency

http://dustcoin.com/

As for trading, CoinedUp is now upgraded, its responsive. No fees.

Don't "rubbish" me, it varies depending on time of day and your electricity costs. Keep refreshing either site if you want, numbers keep changing and right now as we speak it's not 200%. And no you can't use old numbers to justify how you said doge is "twice" as "profitable" today. If it's twice as profitable for YOU at this moment in time, it doesn't mean it's twice as profitable for someone else with a different power cost at a different time of day.

And no you can't use old numbers to justify how you said doge is "twice" as "profitable" today. Hint, if you have infinity power costs, your profit is zero. So unless you know how much someone's paying for power, you can't tell what their profit is.

I will certainly rubbish you, because you are wrong and accuse me of being wrong?

Where have you been this entire month? Doge was 2 to 5 times more profitable. Now be a nice chap and plug in the numbers:

http://dustcoin.com/

2000 kHa/s, 0.3 USD per kWh (expensive!), 850W.

Daily profit LTC: $9.6
Daily profit Doge: $17.6

Nearly twice as much and currently the lowest profitability for Doge. Its been significantly higher.

No, he's not. My average realized NET profit per day in the past 25 days has been over $130 USD/day. I would not be even close to that with LTC alone.

He said "It's still nearly twice as profitable to mine Doge than LTC." meaning TODAY, not yesterday or 25 days ago. And people have different electric costs and wattages as he just proved by being forced to assume a certain cost and wattage:

I will certainly rubbish you

As usual, you demonstrate your blatantly ignoring what other people write. I said it depends on electricity costs and you just proved me right because you are forced to use numbers at 30 cents/kWh and a specific wattage, which is exactly what I am saying--that profitability varies from person to person depending on what you pay for power. And once again, I was talking about your statement about current profitability, not yesterday or some other day.

I am not forcing crap, my electricity prices is 0.3 per kWh and its very high compared to north america.

We all know it varies based on electricity prices or exchange ratios, you bring nothing new to this discussion.

Today, for me, Doge is nearly twice as profitable to mine than LTC. Yesterday for me, it WAS twice as profitable. Over the month, it was 2 to 5 times more profitable.

I am recommending people who want to mine LTC for profits, to mine Doge and trade for LTC instead. They obviously have to check the calculators to see if it works better for them, hence, the links to two profitability calculators. What exactly is your objection here BC?

And you are correct. Plus there is performance differences between pools, plus electricity costs, plus downtime effecting your total throughput, plus where you are cashing out to USD (IF you are even.... lol).

If BTC completely crashes tomorrow and you never cashed out to USD even once. Then guess what, that's a total loss.

You're being unnecessarily confrontational, because the truth is probably in between your stance and Silverforce's.

My numbers may not apply to everyone, but assuming rates hold in the next 24 hours (i.e. today, one day worth of production):

220000 DOGE @ 0.00000062 DOGE/BTC, BTC @ $715 USD/BTC = $97.53
~2.8 LTC @ $22.03 USD/day = $61.68

NOTE: I excluded some DOGE and LTC to "pay" for power costs. So I'm not ignoring power costs.

So DOGE is > 1.58x more profitable assuming I am "strip mining" and immediately selling out to get to USD.

Which is "nearly twice" if you are rounding to the nearest half

The greater point which people should be emphasizing here is:

DO YOUR OWN MATH AND DO WHAT MAKES SENSE FOR YOU AND YOUR SETUP

The higher your electricity prices, the more profitable Doge is compared to LTC due to the smaller intake revenue.

If you pay 0.1 USD per kWh, Doge is ONLY ~50-60% more profitable to mine.

As for why Netcodepool is inconsistent, here is a brief comparison:

Blocks found past hour:
(1) for Netcodepool
(4) for SuchCoins
(6) for FastPool

Blocks found past 24 hours:
(40) for Netcodepool
(141) for SuchCoins
(121) for FastPool

Granted Netcodepool is ~0.9 GH/s, SuchCoins and FastPool > 3.0 GH/s

You do not get DOGE if you do not find a block. That's why Netcodepool seems so slow and inconsistent.

You. Do. Not. Get. Doge. if you do not find a block. That's why Netcodepool seems so slow and inconsistent.

Indeed. Thanks for looking at that and sharing.

Netcodepool may find less on the whole, but that shouldn't matter if their total users are less. I should still get the same amount of doge overtime right? It's not "inconsistent" over the past hour or day. It's been paying me shit (in contrast to very reliable and consistent wemineltc) for the past FIVE days.

It's hilarious to claim I was being "unnecessarily confrontational" when I wrote "he's mistaken" which is hardly confrontational. Silver was the one getting in my face saying it was "rubbish" that I was "wrong" and saying "I'll rubbish you." Neither of you apparently read what I wrote about how numbers vary minute to minute and profitability varies depending on how much you pay for electricity, and both of your jumped in together talking about PAST profits when Silver's statement was clearly about TODAY's profitability. If you round to the nearest half, 158% actually rounds down to 150%.

In any case we can all agree that you need to crunch your own numbers.
