Could i cpu mine them (SC)? I think cpu is out BTC 5500Mhash 3.11 btc/perday SC 5500Mhash edit: patch up the above calculation with 32/50*5.69=3.64 I used http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php to do the calculations Title: Re: Profitability of mining solidcoin vs bitcoin Post by: bcpokey on September 01, 2011, 07:02:34 PM So how hard are solid coins to mine now compaired to BTC?

I think cpu is out BTC 5500Mhash 3.11 btc/perday SC 5500Mhash 5.69 btc/perday (@0.015 exch rate) difficulty 15069 I used http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator.php to do the calculations Wrong. Each Solidcoin block yields 32SolidCoins vs. 50Bitcoins per block. As for CPU mining, assuming that you have suitably fast processor that can get maybe 4 or 5 MHash/sec, you will be able to mine a block maybe every few hundred days, and at an exchange rate of .015 solidcoins per bitcoin,. that is hardly worth it.

I0C is still the most profitable right now.
CPU mining is out for pretty much everything. Too many people with GPUs.

Another question though - How do you buy SC? i looked at one of the exchanges but it only accepts BTC for SC. I guess there isint a way yet to pay USD for SC.
