Title: Litecoin mining......
Post by: Hashcesar84 on January 18, 2014, 10:36:48 PM
hello guys,

does anyone have an idea for any ltc miner?
I'm looking for something to mine ltc easily, like an ASIC for ltc.. I'm meaning something already assembled you can pre-order from anyone..

anyne who's mining ltc could tell me at this moment how much it is profitable?

Every Scrypt ASIC has been uneconomical/scam so far.

Scrypt was designed to make FPGA/ASICs nonviable.  

If you're buying one ask to see evidence it works first!  ;)

There's some buzz about Gridseed that's supposed to be a dual SHA/Script miner but I'll believe it when I see it.

The thread is here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=355268.0

They seem to be selling them on eBay here: US $4,369.00 or 10x

Let us know if they deliver and if they work.

practically is possible that ltc mining will be made by GPU forever?

What does this have to do with bitcoin custom hardware?

In before banishment to the alt currencies section!

Seriously,  I think GPUs are the best option for scrypt mining right now.  When you count in the resale value of GPUs, you will at least break even.  I think the 270xs and 280xs are both pretty good deals,  even with the 280x markup due to all the scrypt miners buying it up.

Gridseed is gouging people for its ASIC, at the moment.
