Between miner issues, poor pool luck, and orphaned blocks it's been a rough stretch for my venture into Ltc mining..

Started looking into franko a week or so ago and definitely interested - looks like one of the Alts that will outlast its peers. Will switch over mining soon, for now a contribution would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry folks, I know there are other forms out there but I'm not registered to dog-specific forums (and hate registering to forums for one or two posts)- this is where I've been doing the most haunting recently so I figured I'd throw this one to you folks.
I've got a beagle-foxhound mix (Bowser B. Bellows - partial Simpsons reference) that we rescued from the Humane Society who's about 5 years old and recently started to favour one leg.. Eventually this turned into a limp and the Vet's since advised it's a torn ACL.. He's in for surgery as I type this, but before they started the operation they noticed that his OTHER leg has at least a partial tear.. I'd noticed he was iffy on both feet recently, so this doesn't totally surprise me.. They don't want to fix both legs in one operation, but suspect that he'll need a second surgery once he recovers from this one (~3 months).. At around $2500 per surgery it's got me cringing (and looking at pulling out of Bitcoin & Litecoin to afford it =/ ).. On top of that, we have 2 kids under 4 who take up most of our time, and helping poor Bowser recover.. Apparently he won't even be able to get up to pee for the first week or two..
Anyhow, sorry for the rant / vent, just shitty times between that and other things and I figured there might be some likt-minded folks out there who've been though this whole mess and might have some thoughts.
Please, no trolling.
Cheers Z

Thank you Burnside! I wasn't ready to give up on you - as soon as Stratum came back online I hopped right back on. Been a great go since then too; much better than the prior week or two - pool hash rate has more than tripled too! Stales are at less than 1%, HUGE improvement there. Happily hashing away ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Thanks again mate! Happy mining! Cheers Z

Sadly it looks like I might have to give up on this pool... Site's down, Stratum is down, Getwork gives me ~20% stales.. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

Want to gamble with Bitcoin? Try Satoshi Dice! The odds are pretty fair over time, just like solo mining!

Thinking about it further, it'd be really interesting to incorporate $/GH Delivered, especially if depreciation could come into play (as a Bitfury depreciates WAY faster than a good GPU).. Sadly I'm not that motivated :p

I've played with mining a bit and started wondering how profitable mining has been historically. I pulled some data on the Blockchain and from Gox to see closing prices and difficulty at the time - graphed prices and difficulty separately, then another that is Price / Difficulty * 1,000,000 (to make the numbers easier to read). https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnrzSC4C8ZZedEN3SFl3UEp4YnVpNzdEemNJb2hwWnc&usp=sharingThis all ties into the argument that it's often better to buy bitcoins rather than investing in mining hardware, as the value of bitcoins purchased now will likely exceed the ROI from mining hardware.. For example: I purchased a BFL Jally 7+gh at $274 shipped (maybe not the best example, but it's mine!) - That price tag could have bought me 2+ BTC at the time. Now the Jally will only likely mine 1 BTC meaning my ROI is less than half of what it would have been. Anyhow - I just wanted to see Difficulty / Price over time, and now you can too! I have data dating back to 2009, but getting reliable pricing that far back is impossible.. Remember - these are Mt.Gox closing prices. Data is from: http://bitcoincharts.com/charts/mtgoxUSD [using the raw data export] http://blockexplorer.com/q/nethash Used (time1-time2)/24/60/60 to get 'Days Passed' then added them up starting at 1/10/2009 (Approx block 288).. Then A little more magic to strip out time
