So that's about 5 weeks = about 35 days.
35 days/16 LTC = 2.1875 days to get one LTC.
16 LTC/35 days = 0.4571428571428571 LTC per day.
Using the current difficulty, you appear to have a hash rate of:
1450 KH/s = 0.46 LTC/day
I'll assume you have 2 video cards, so that's about 725 KH/s per card, which is around 7970 levels.
So I conclude you purchased two 7970 video cards, at over $500 each, for a total of over a grand on cards alone? If only we knew the cards would increase in price so much, we could have bought cards before the price increase...
I currently have:
3x7870 @ 2x 395kH/s, 1x 350kH/s or less because I often game with this card disabled or use this desktop with intensity turned down
1x7850 @ 360kH/s avg
1x7970 @ 650kH/s avg
So my current hashrate average is about 2.2MH/s which cost me about $750 give or take.
I have also ordered a 270 which I had to RMA since it would not POST in my p67 mobo as well as a 7950 which I ordered a few days ago from amazon :sneaky:. Newegg is extremely slow with RMA.
I first started with only two 7870s and then starting gradually adding more cards into the mix when a good deal would arise. I also wasted a few days mining doge (have about 400k) on some of my cards and also had some downtime from power failures or other misc issues.
I'd estimate he's pushing about 1.2MHash/s give or take on one rig, and is trying to cherry pick cards. It would have been a lot smarter to just take all the cards he had bought and start building machines around them. He'd be sitting on probably 4-5MHash/s worth of mining power and be pulling in probably close to $100/day, and paid off those builds in about 2 weeks worth of mining.
But I'm just "guessing" here.
You're damn right I am :awe:
I wish I could be pulling in $100/day with 4-5MH/s, but I'm the lazy type who likes to stick with LTC rather than gamble with scam coins.
The original plan was to make $50/day with 2.5MH/s mining LTC. I'm at about $20/day now with 2.2MH/s which is not bad, but far from what I expected.
However, like I said, I am not giving up hope that easily and I am willing to wait a while before I cash out my LTC.
