Title: Bitcoin vrs Altcoin
Post by: armova on March 29, 2014, 04:44:07 PM
When using calculators like this: https://bitcoinwisdom.com/litecoin/calculator, seems like, with the actual parameters, there is no short/middle term profitability in Bitcoin minning, even using powerfull 2-3TH machines, the next logic step is to try with litecoins using the new 250MHs machines comming soon to the market.

Do you see any major threats in the near future regarding the Litecoin minning with powerfull machines? Is there any other better minning approach for an investment around $10k?

Thanks for any insight you might share!

Litecoin's internal difficulty adjustment will always marginalize profitability.

ASCI does not pose any threat to Litecoin or other altcoins, it only presents a threat to small miners using GPU farms as their shares will be minimized.

If you want to invest $10K in mining equipment, I would suggest mining an ASCI resistant coin like Goldcoin (GLD) and then to mine and hold the coins for a couple of years. While your mining help out in the community and contribute to the coin's success.

That's what decentralized currencies are all about.  :)

The coin is nearly a year old and has an excellent developer and community.

How exactly is it a scam?

Aren't you the one that said that all altcoins pretty much suck?

I guess I should just invest in Dogecoin and Blackcoin based on your argument that volume is good.  :P

Yes pretty much all Altcoins are garbage some more then others but when the coin has less then $5000 in volume and it's been around for a year its obviously a garbage coin.
