I've been actually folding and working on CURE coin.

I got dual 980 GPU's and an i7-5820k folding and making about the same amount of CURE -> BTC as I would mining BTC with just my miners.

Back in my day Bitcoin used to cost $69

 Ah, but Bitcoin is pretty much ZERO return the last few years for GPU mining - ASIC got too efficient and powerfull too long ago  for SHA256.

 How many PPD are you averaging and how many Curecoin per day on average do you generate with that rig?

But the profitability of these coins are very short. They are must pump and dump coins. After the dump, it is worth zero.

On average around 300-370 Curecoin per day depending on the WU's that are completed.

I'm not mining BTC with my GPU, i'm using my 980's to fold and get curecoin in return, which I then exchange on poloniex for BTC. My PPD is around 600,000 points a day. It fluctuates between 580,000 - 610,000. The longest Work Unit my computer has had to to was 4 hours. CPU based WU's are around 2 hours, and most of the GPU WU's are 3 hours.

who care, you only need them for increase your bitcoin, after you take your profit those coin are worth nothing to you anyway, dump and move to the other

this game is endless will last forever, there is a big business here, big miners are also behind those coins, i suspect...

I see. We just need the shit coins to get to the bitcoin. It is not our concern if the shit coins will last long.

I mine the Ethereum, I keep most of the Ethereum as I think its price will rise further in the next few months.

Never invest more than you can afford to loose.

I gave up with mining any more.  The mining is not worth it anymore.  I have spent more  money mining than what I have brought in to cover my expenses.  I play with miner gate a little but that is all any more.

Mine the shitcoins while they're profitable, then shut down (or in my case revert to my competative nature on crunching other stuff) 'till the next profitable shitcoin comes along, then mine THAT for a while, rinse and repeat.

But in the background I have some real miners running.....

I am mining some Ethereum. It is still quite profitable. But the difficulty is rising very fast at the moment.

I mine now Burst and sometimes Digibyte. Burst because it is HDD mine-able and hardly cost no extra electricity and/or CPU power. And Digibyte is the only coin I can profitable mine with my laptop en simple GPU.

How much profit do you get from mining Burst?

The feather coin is quite profitable recently. The price has doubled from a few weeks ago. I might mine some.

are you sure, mine was 600w not 210, you have undervolted heavily? because it is almost impossible to consume only 20w for one 750ti

If my voltmeter is working correctly all my ten overclocked cards are pulling around 210w from the wall. I will look into it when i get back home though.
The temp in the area around the rigs dropped to pretty much nothing after i went NeoScrypt.

edit. Now when i started thinking a bit it might be that one of my kids have been messing around with the buttons on the voltmeter and switched it to Volt. I will check it when i get back home later today Cheesy
I only checked the numbers on the display quickly some day ago when i switched algo.
