is the vega more future proof then the 180ti series video cards for mining?

[Digital Drug Lord]

Once again I run the numbers from whattomine and once again the 1080ti seems to beat the vegas in  everything but cryptonight. So, im only a month into the cryptogame, but I have a question for people who have been in for a while.

which one is more future proof?

Since privacy coins are the big thing, is cryptonight going to be the better algo as we move forward? The real price of a vega is not $900 for a used one, and $1300 for  a new one. The real price of a 1080ti was like $700, you can find them for $1000.... which is a huge difference from the vegas.

I would even get a regular (not-Ti) 1080 over Vega. Maybe even 1070Ti. Yes, as you have noticed, it's only cryptonight (and ethash) where Vegas are faster. But there are not that many highly profitable coins on these algos. I would really prefer the flexibility of 1080/1080Ti.

yeah not only that some of the exchanges the coins are will rob me once I try to sell. Once I see hitbtc Im yeah right like I would send them money. Where you can sell them is also important because if you cant withdraw on the dont answer emails...frustration

Why would they answer your email?  You don't fully understand the ecosystem and the number of people that are trying to get into it right now, do you?.  Some exchanges shut off new user registration, because they haven't been able to handle the demand. 

You are in for a real treat ... Lol.  Nothing about this works perfectly and 100% of the time.  You're way to early in the game for that sort of thing to be taking place.  Honestly, with all of the bitching and moaning that you do, I'd come back in 5-10 years and see where things are at.  In this game, you will not be catered to like you are with Amazon customer service.  If you need that type of hand holding, this isn't for you.

In my opinion ETH/Monero are a bit more usable than Zcash etc but Nvidia cards have great resale particularly with gamers so you have to way that up as well
