[igorr]

So for the past 5.5 months we had 10x higher growth difficulties and hashrate the BTC in relation to the LTC ,
And still the price of BTC 20x higher than the price of LTC ,
and in addition to the LTC earning quite difficult , it justified the enormous cost of hardware and the huge consumption of electricity



Earnings LTC miners is very poor and laborious and very expensive ,

Provided that LTC remain 24 usd a lasting several months the average increment difficulties remain constant ,
about 0.8 % for three days ,
with one the Radeon HD 7950 card, it is possible to earn 135 usd for a year . ( under ideal conditions )
( on ​​ebay the cheapest cost $ 367.00 + shipping , not as the site says 225 usd )

Pre emergence of ASIC hardware for Bitcoin mining , in the first half of 2013g ,
BTC and LTC miners had the same earnings in relation to the money invested in hardware on .

What is it suddenly changed the appearance of the ASIC hardware ?
What is it suddenly upset the balance , the money invested in hardware / earned money from cryptocoin ?
Why is the price of Bitcoin so then jumped when a relatively cheaper ASICs with hardware
could dig more, easier, faster and cheaper BTC?
(lower production price of hardware and extremely low energy consumption)

The answer is more than obvious ,
Producers ASIC hardware are artificially raised the price of Bitcoin , a
In that moment, prices should be declining, because the cheaper and easier to manufacture Bitcoin.

What will be with the same The price Bitcoin happen when manufacturers ASIC hardware are coming out of the game ?

And the answer is more than obvious !

Definitely BTC and LTC prices should replacement places

Relation between;
BTC mining hardware production cost / earnings = low
LTC mining hardware production cost / earnings = high

Excuse me for the translation, I used google translate.

thats $135 in 1 month with a 7950 at those rates/hashes

NOT $135 for 1 year.

[igorr]

its for 1 year, with Radeon HD 7950

[mskryxz]

ops my bad you're right!

hahah

[mskryxz]

well going on here:

http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency/?sha256HashRate=600.00&sha256Power=500.00&sha256PowerCost=0.1000&scryptHashRate=600.00&scryptPower=500.00&scryptPowerCost=0.1000&sha256Check=true&scryptCheck=true

with 600 hashes

litecoin generates $4.13 per day before electricity

4.13 x 30 days = $123.9
123.9 * 12 months = $1,486 per year

This is a good LTC calculator

set;
Difficulty Increment: 0.8
Hardware Price: about 400 usd (Radeon HD 7950 )
Electricity Price: 0.14  (USD/kWh)
Display Currency: USD

Part of the reason the LTC difficulty is increasing at a lower rate is because of a graphics card shortage right now.

I have 3 R9 280x cards still back ordered from November.

The cards that are trickling in are only allowing the network to increase incrementally...

[igorr]

Exactly, and therefore the price of LTC should  be higher than the BTC price.
LTC mining is much more difficult than the BTC mining.

Relation between;
BTC mining hardware production cost / earnings = low
LTC mining hardware production cost / earnings = high

and Definitely BTC and LTC prices should replacement places.

Amen to that brotha!

OP operates under the assumption that price derived strictly from difficulty. It is not.

There are many factors that influence the price:
- popularity / adaptation rates
- government regulations
- market conditions
- security conditions
- political climate

IMO, difficulty is not even in the top 3.

[LiteCoinGuy]

yeah, Litecoin-Mining is pretty good for a "normal" man with not much cash.

Litecoin is the silver of the cryptoworld.

[bluemeanie1]

the problem with Litecoin is that it won't prevent the monopolization of mining, just raise the barrier to capitalization.

[El Dude]

good info thanks.

[Bitcoin_Evolution]

Since i startes to mine litecoin in the begining of December its difficulty raised almost 300%. In just two months.

ya and the price has also gone up.

[pungopete468]

I got into Litecoin in November when it was $9 I wish I would have just bought at that price. Instead I invested in mining equipment... 3 of the 6 graphics cards I ordered are still back ordered.

[igorr]

Now,
We have for Bitcoin, mining factor 22 cents per 1Gh/s at 24h   and
Litecoin mining factor 0.004 cents per 1Kh/s at 24h  !

Because we have anomaly,
LTC mining hardware production cost "Radeon HD 7950"
is much higher than Butterfly Labs 28nm PCI card

I got into mining litecoin early early of 2013.

I was making up to 4 ltc's per day with my 5 computers (running a combo of 7950s, 7970s, 6950s, and 1 5850)

now im making just under 1 ltc per day  on average or about $25 per day just leaving them on.

I got very lucky and timed it right, I converted all of my LTC into BTC's while it was 3.5-4% (or around $40-$50 per ltc)

Now it's stuck under 3% last i checked.

Mining dificulty and crypto price are not tied as much as you would like to think. There are MANY other reasons why BTC is more valuable (for now) than LTC.

The main reason is artificially raising prices and popularity of manufacturer BTC mining hardware !

The ratio betwen BTC and LTC mining, of Invested money / Earned Money is about 5500x
0.22 cents per 1Gh at 24h / 0.004 cents per 1Kh at 24H.

The ratio betwen bitcoin and litecoin, Invested money / Earned Money should be 1:1,  not 1:5500
