Title: Question for litecoin miners
Post by: Sweetrevenge on August 13, 2014, 06:42:56 PM
I recently began mining litecoins in March with the pool Hypernova.org. In March, April, May, I was mining 600 kh/s which equates about 1 coin per month which is standard given the difficulty. However, then I moved, and the ISP at my apartment is heavily throttled to the point where I can't even watch streaming websites such as Twitch.TV. The throttling stops late at night but always starts again at the same time in the morning. I can also tell I'm being throttled because when I check my kh/s on Hypernova.org, it reports a substantially less amount (300 kh/s) than what my computer reports (500 kh/s). Is there any way around this, or am I fucked and I have to go for a new ISP? Do you think I should try a new alt coin?

You do realize..that 1 Litecoin=$1 by the time September is over.

So you'd be wasting $10+ in electricity every month to mine a dying, clone, coin...
