I am fairly new to the whole mining thing,  just recently got a system capable of mining some of the scypt coins. Started first trying to mine litecoins, but got frustrated that by the time I had mined enough to get a payout, the value of litecoin's had dropped vs BTC. After that I tried mining on Middlecoin, but wasn't quite satisfied that I was being properly compensated for my ~400 KH/s rig.  Now I am giving [Suspicious link removed] a try, seems pretty good so far, like the Vardiff support, much more confident in having my contributions properly accounted for. 

I'm hoping in the near future that I can throw another couple cards in my mining system so I can make a bit more per day, but factoring that I leave my computer running anyways, my card draws 112W at peak usage, should cost me roughly $8 for electricity, and generate me around $27, overall profit of $19/month.
