Title: How profitable is lightcoin mining compared to BTC for GPU miners? Post by: lucky1064 on April 07, 2013, 05:39:36 AM I see a lot of people talking about it and have read more than a dozen posts. People talk of setup and lower hash rates etc....
For the same cards: say 7970 / 5990 / 6990 --- what kind of earnings could you bring in compared to BTC? There are many btc calc (of varying worth) out there - but i haven't found one for lightcoin, or a hash rate list for cards either. Please help inform someone worried about the coming hash glut with BTC. Title: Re: How profitable is lightcoin mining compared to BTC for GPU miners?

Please help inform someone worried about the coming hash glut with BTC. Try searching for a LITEcoin calculator instead... (it's Litecoin not Lightcoin :D ;)) All joking aside, this is a good resource on the profitability of GPU mining different currencies: dustcoin.com (http://dustcoin.com) Good LTC Calculators: http://ltc.kattare.com/calc.php http://give-me-ltc.com/calc Title: Re: How profitable is lightcoin mining compared to BTC for GPU miners?

are people finding these hash rates reasonably accurate: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/wiki/Mining-hardware-comparison#wiki-ATI_AMD_GPUs (https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/wiki/Mining-hardware-comparison#wiki-ATI_AMD_GPUs) 6970 512 6990 800 - 900 6990x2 1580 - 1780 7850 350 7870 Ghz Interactive 400kH/s 350WU/m 7950 ~620 7950 ~642.5 7950 550 7970 522 7970 682 7970 580 Some hash higher than against BTC other higher for lightcoin than btc??? I've only read of lower rates/ complaints The numbers are all over the place but come from here: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/wiki/Mining-hardware-comparison#wiki-ATI_AMD_GPUs (https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/wiki/Mining-hardware-comparison#wiki-ATI_AMD_GPUs) http://www.litecoinpool.org/calc?hashrate=+&difficulty=205.77652398 (http://www.litecoinpool.org/calc?hashrate=+&difficulty=205.77652398) and http://dustcoin.com/mining (http://dustcoin.com/mining) Disagree a bit - but both show Light coin to be more profitable than BTC? Anyone finding this true on GPU? The numbers are so variable its hard to be exact - just looking for general experiences. Title: Re: How profitable is lightcoin mining compared to BTC for GPU miners? Post by: lucky1064 on April 07, 2013, 09:44:39 PM Bump - to see what I'm missing here.
Should all GPU guys switch to Lite coin? According to the calculators it seems so? Title: Re: How profitable is lightcoin mining compared to BTC for GPU miners? Post by: temor on April 07, 2013, 09:51:09 PM Yes, Litecoin is more profitable. 85.4% more profitable currently.
You do as you wish. Title: Re: How profitable is lightcoin mining compared to BTC for GPU miners? Post by: lucky1064 on April 07, 2013, 09:53:00 PM I'm surprised there isn't more talk on the "btc" area of the board about people switching over!!
Gotta check this out. I guess and find some light coin pools.... ugh, research again! Title: Re: How profitable is lightcoin mining compared to BTC for GPU miners?

I guess and find some light coin pools.... ugh, research again! if you want to, you can mine on my p2pool node. 1% fee currently. Title: Re: How profitable is lightcoin mining compared to BTC for GPU miners? Post by: lucky1064 on April 07, 2013, 09:58:55 PM ok a little searching found me the guy above's pool
and this link: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/wiki/Comparison-of-mining-pools (https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/wiki/Comparison-of-mining-pools) Guess github.com/litecoin-project is the place to go for general info! |
