Anyone still GPU mining?

[romgenie]

I currently gpu mine with 1 HD 7950.  It brings roughly .02 BTC a day.  I have the additional 4 HD 7950s and motherboard for the additional ones.  I've been waiting for my CPU to come in since May 22nd though.

I am mining with 7870xt and 6670, coming to about 670 Mh/s together, still earning money.

Running ATI 7850. My monthly outlook was holding at 0.35 btc until just recently dropped to 0.22 btc.  Is this because of the ASICs slowly coming online?  Or did BTC Guild hiccup?

Problem with the GPU is it heats up my entire room. So I ordered a Raspberry Pi to run ASIC with.

I found that on the PPS rate btc guild had a fairly low payment amount.  I have several other mining pools that I use in which pay more if you are interested.  I just recently switched to PPLNS mining pool and I find it pays substantially more than the PPS at btc guild.

Still running my GPU's and getting a whole bunch more soon

Are you doing BTC or alt-coins? If BTC continues to rise in difficulty at current speed, it would take a really long time to break even for newly purchased GPUs.

Can you explain further? I'd like to learn how that would work.

Have you got your ASIC yet?

He is gonna use the raspberry pi to control the ASIC so instead of having to keep his desktop on all the time while mining, he can just have the raspberry pi running.

GPU mining is worthless ASICS are the future.

Not while ASICs are still shipping to the people who ordered. And for those who dont have to pay for electricity, as long as they have the gpus, they can make money off of them.

Yep, its still profitable to mine the most profitable coin on coinchoose.com , everyone is scrypt mining for $$$

I'm selling my brand new 3x 7950 rig on the forums https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=226748.0

i still say switch to LTC or another coin..

[Peacefrog]

I'm doingg it out of interest at the moment because my gpu is old (Radeon mobility hd 4670 1gb)

I am thinking of doing a usb asic setup in the near future.

One question, is CGminer the best for these different cryptos or are they all different?

GPU mining got my foot in the door on Bitcoin. So far it's still cost effective for me, but the difficulty increase is about to make my poor GPU irrelevant in the next couple cycles. Even so, it's a decent way for newbies to get a few mbtc to start playing with and pique their interest.

I understood that.  I wasn't sure how ... via SSH or ... how?

The thing is, most people have switched to mining litecoins with their gpus due to their easier difficulty and lack of ASICs. So if you arent one of the people with rigs dedicated to mining, you should probably mess around with litecoin.

Can you recommend a good miner for lte? cgminer caps in the kh/s when bitminter caps at 26 mh/s so id like to avoid bitminter

GUIminer only produced stale work

You're probably right that mining alt coins (litecoin) is more efficient for GPU miners, but many newbies just won't be interested in the added complication. Personally I can talk to friends about bitcoin, but with alternative coins it starts to become tedious. For many people one cryptocurrency is enough. For me, you're right, I should probably switch.

mine LTC and dont convert to fiat...convert to BTC.

Of course! I hope I didn't imply I'd convert to fiat. So far I've mined bitcoin, converted fiat to bitcoin, paid friends for things using bitcoin, bought asicminer shares with bitcoin, but one thing I haven't done is converted any coin to fiat.
