Mining Speeds, I Am Confused..

[Chris180Z]

I have been trying to mine StableCoin (SBC) recently, although finding it quite hard to really generate any coin. I have been running off GUIMiner at around 200Mhash/s. I told my friend about this and he said because it was a scrypt currency that I should not be used that software as it is only for SHA-256. He gave me the link to download the scrypt version of GUIMiner, however using this software I now only get 200Khash/s, which is 1000X slower than before.

I am now confused, why is it better to mine with software that is 1000X slower? Can anyone help me out with this? Thank you.

scrypt is 1000x harder to hash then sha-256 is. It's like that for everyone though so 200kh/s is decent.  a 7950 gets 650kh/s.

Ah, ok, well that makes sense, thanks for clearing that up .
