Thanks for clarification, I wasn't quite sure. I don't follow this subculture as I find it utterly stupid (few of the memes are funny though), so I couldn't really tell.
I guess it's worth mining it for a month and see what happens. I don't think it has any chance to last, but maybe there is still a way to make some money off it. The question is why. You really have to have at least partially businessman-like brain to be able to profit from these things.
If you're into mining at all (which I'm honestly just starting out - I'm tired of missing the boat... again, and again, and again)... they way I look at it is it's worth it to have a rig or even just a single miner that you can dedicate to mining "AltCoin de jure" as soon as it comes out. Hope on whatever is new, low difficulty, stock up the coins in your wallet. If the exchange rates are favorable at any given point, decide if you want to cash out, or just sit on them and hope you're sitting on a gold mine a'la LiteCoin for a few years down the road. Then move on to the next one.
That's my plan. See if I can mine a known commodity to "pay the bills" and then stock up on altcoins on the side. It probably won't amount to anything from this point onward, but hey, at least I have a new hobby!
