Mining is dead

[kololo]

Pos is the future.

Mining is not dead ... just mine other asic-ressistant coins like

Vertcoin / execoin -> Scrypt-N based
Protoshares -> momentum-pow based

.. but better the ones with cooler algorithms :

Darkcoin / Hirocoin -> X11 based
Heavycoin ->  LEFTY1 based
Groestlcoin -> groestl based ... which is AMD and NVIDIA-friendly algo too.

Only an unskilled miner can start a thread with the name Mining is dead

Do you know about BTL (BitLeu) ? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=510353.0
At this moment, mining BTL it is more profitable than.. DOGE !
With a decent mining gear you can earn 0.12 BTC / week, even at the current prices !

I suppose it isn't profitable if you have to pay for your power.
Damn i'm happy with my free power till at least 2017! ^^
I even run my old block erupter blade, it costs 300 watts for 10ghs lol
But the antminers make more haha

[beekers]

I'm sure the price of DOGE will go up when this guy wins Nascar

I dont agree with u.pos maybe the future but not now.
pow is still the mainstream and can be profitable.popular pos coins still need to distribute coins through or partly through pow.

Scrypt-n is bullshit, GPU is outdate

[Amph]

just a transition, to wipe out some miners out of the scene, there were too many really

wait for the gtx880, 5x the perf  (in theory) of the 750ti for 230w (sure it is a lot compare to asic in terms of power, but asic is limited to one algo... while with gpu you can change the algo... )
Let say gpu is dead for brain-free-multipools-mining but it isn't dead for mining.

forget X11 mining with gpu, there are already giant chinese fpga mining farms raping the ass of all profitable X11 coins

[Koko]

You just to have be good at recognizing what new coins are going to be profitable and then jumping in and out at the right time. Some last a while like Maxcoin, some for a very short time like Cinnicoin, but there is always an opportunity for profit.

I believe what you said is true, the profit for x11 drop a lot and seems like the difficulty keep going up. Oh man time to look for alternative..

[Amph]

this explain why there are plenty of monsters users in the various x11 pool with 500-600mhash

i knew something was suspicious about those megahash...

[azguard]

x11 coin are now prime for almost all users that I now.

Me mine dark n hiro.
