I did some testing and i checked on mining profitability via estimates on online calculators then on pool stats and then on my wallet earnings
and based on current prices i can honestly say that the following list of coins in the last week have been pretty much the same for me
on a variety of machines using a bunch of hardware cpu's and gpus all brands. (based on current trade values)
All of which are random scrypt coins i chose..
Doge
Franko
Max
DigiByte
all of them are aprox the same earnings wise for mining with tests.. so there is no reason anymore that Doge is has some profitable advantage.
the question would then boil down to which one can and will most likely have a surge in value either temporary or long term ?
Doge ?
nope.. its a dead dog and needs to be put down..
it's like the IFC hype when it ended it ended.. no matter how bad people wanted to cling on..
Most people started moving over to ADT back then etc..
Franko ?
Solid mining and solid value when alts go down Franko always holds its value nicely.
It has a real community unlike Doge too. But does it have a chance to go way higher long term ? maybe.. better chance than most others i think.
Max coin ?
what can i say lol ..uhhhmmm i'd say its good for another pump or two at random *maybe ? other than that i think it's long term potential is disturbing
Digibyte ?
Well this one is new to me but did not look too impressive reading the ANN topic lol
HUGE Pre-Mine and a coin that is nothing but a useless clone propped up with fake service dev etc.. same old same old (100 other coins identical)
So why even mention it ? well even though it came out in January it still is not being traded on major well known exchanges.
and it does have a following with many users and yeah i may think its premined bullshit but at least they *tried to make it look legit unlike Doge or Flappy etc etc
and it is traded on a few newer start up exchanges for a fairly low value so it has a possible chance too go off and explode in value i think.
I don't just sit around and complain guys lol ..i actually do all this stuff too
