GPU mining.... Near the end?

[Kennji]

GPU mining will never end.

Just the coins you mine will.

asic is fine

[korsmi]

as soon as the asics kick in gpu mining will be worthless.

That only applies to SHA256 mining though. Scrypt mining is exempt from asic miners.

There's always a place for GPU mining while scrypt exists and no ASIC equivalent for it.

Agreed, I've recently dropped bitcoin in favour of alt coins for mining.

stiil work at other coin

I think if there are no jumps generation with the gpu in a few months will no longer be useful to undermine ... it will only take asic

[derekleong75]

Well, as long as you can liquidate right? Or buy some goods with whatever coin fits your fancy.
If only Hermes accepts BTC/LTC.  I would mine my ass off for a new real world wallet!

TL;DR: You can cash most coins out. BTC-e.com, bter.com, and vircurex.com will convert your alt coins back to BitCoin.

Of these, bter.com would appear to have the most favorable fee structure.  The others charge BTC0.01 to withdraw; bter.com charges only a tenth of that. Bitparking offered the same rates...too bad it shut down.

GPU isn't dead for Scrypt Mining.

Indeed. While waiting for BFL to deliver, I picked up a 6870 off of Bitmit. I've only had it running a month or so, but at BTC0.7, I think it's already paid for itself.

Litecoins seems to be the way to go right now as asics won't mind them (As of now  )

[zippy_doo]

GPU mining is pretty cool and flexible. I think it'll be around for a long long time
