This is really the best coin to invest your hashrate at right now! I'm really glad I searched all the scypt coins traded on cryptsy to see if they're still alive and if they could be more profitable than those displayed on websites such as
www.coinwars.com and
www.coinchoose.com .
Even though there's a TON of orphans (40% or so) It's still more profitable than any other coin BY FAR at the moment. My only complaint is that I wasted my time solo mining for 2 orphaned blocks.
There are also some other interesting cases I found during my search.
Elephantcoin which for a long time has been displayed with a wrong exchange value in coinchoose making people think it's not really worth mining while it beats some of the most profitable ones.
Gamecoin wich is a joke actually, The biggest hash rate I saw in the only alive pool in existence was something like 40 kh/s, still in this condition it's more profitable than litecoin.
Also some coins that are forgotten by (almost) everyone like Mastercoin, doubloons and finally Krugercoin wich has the lowest difficulty I've ever seen seen.
Believe it or not, all the above (in most cases) are fully active and at their current condition more profitable even from the top ones at coinchoose
