Title: Litecoin Mining? HELP
Post by: KingOfSports on July 15, 2013, 11:44:31 AM
Is there a relatively inexpensive rig for litecoin mining? Like $100-$500 and at current difficulty rate has a breakeven point of 6 months or less? Thanks, sorry I've been using bitcoins for over 6 months but new to the whole actual mining thing (just have heard a lot bout it).

If you include electricity.... i will tell you no there isnt one that will break even that quick unless you have free electricity or somehow really cheap.

King, you want to be mining FTC or CAP right now and then using Cryptsy to convert it to LTC or BTC.

As far as a good rig... if you already have a computer with PCI-E slots, you can probably scour through Craigslist and find a couple of cheap cards.

I found a 5850 for $80 on CL and had a 6850 in my closet, so I am hasing away at ~700-750KH/s with about a $80 investment.

My power is $0.07-0.09/kwh so despite what everyone says about GPU mining being non-profitable, it can be.
