Hmm thats strange, my 8 GPUs are still making me 20+ a day hitting x13 and x11 algos... I hope your learning experience isnt over.

U can stil make a buck mining x11 and x13, maybe even with blake256 if it spreads around.. just mine new coins , and try to find a coin that will for some reason be tanked, this way even mining that is rated low, will in few days turn to much more. Follow fud / hype , and with a little luck, you can still make a nice buck. 23mh x11 gets me around 15 - 20 $ a day, nothing to be proud about, but its better than nothing cheers

$20 per days is great with just 23Mh/s, you are using the strategy to mine ignored coin that then become big, right?
it worked with machinecoin, romcoin, boostcoin and others for me, it's a good strategy when you can't instamine

I don't think it's dead for altcoins, you can profit on most of them still kind of nice but for bitcoin and litecoin that hobby is dead for sure even thought it was really nice one and i liked it.

The only online casino on which i won something. I made 17mBTC from 1mBTC in like 15 minutes. This is not paid AD!

GPU can mine X11 too, right?

I have been thinking about this a lot lately. I was late to the game but invested in 10mh/s rig setup in January. I have not made ROI and probably never will. There is movement to make GPU only coins, but lets be honest, if crypto currency is ever to go "mainstream", it cannot be supported by grassroots GPU mining. Special hardware will always win in this case.

Every time I think GPU mining is over, a week later it is not. After LTC got to hard to mine, Maxcoin came, and then Vert coin. Then X11, and now X13. I would much rather have a versitile gpu rig that can mine any of these coins and any that come in the future, and not an ASIC paperweight. But yeah, the big money to be made is gone, the hobby no way.

The problem is almost every algo can be FPGA pretty fast, so sooner or later someone come out with a FPGA close to GPU and mine any coin they want and doom...

I say GPU mining is dead.. almost..
Profitability going down every day, the only way you can still make money is to get lucky with a few alts.. but it's a guess and you're gonna have to research and find another coin a few days later because they aren't profitable for more than a few days

I think people should focus more about GPU's power efficiency/khash. Better to have multiple GPU's that use less power and produce relatively more kh/s, than have less GPU's an more kh/s with multiple times more power-consumption.

GPU-mining definitely isn't dead if you've got a bunch of Nvidia Maxwells. Power/hash ratio is insane.

Yeah, people should look the bigger picture and for the long run.

Scrypt is the least profitable due to all of the asics. Scrypt variants (Scrypt-N, scrypt-jane), X11, X13, and any other non-ASIC implemented algorithms are still profitable by usage of GPUs.

I used www.coinking.io for my x13 multipool and it is still very profitable to me. Is this all you talk about? Promoting coinking.io? I used it yesterday, didn't like it one bit.

I don't think its dead yet. Probably not for a good while. Personally I pay my mortgage every month with crypto mining. I however like to hedge my bets. I own diversified mining rigs. A rig of r9 270's, a 750 ti rig, r9 290 rig, and 2 blade gridseeds. This allows me to jump on most coins and gives me the opportunity to diversify what I am able to mine. I also use profit switching pools and occasionally will mine on new launches. Never put all your eggs in one basket. You never know whats going to be hot next week. It also helps that where I live on the east coast that power is only .08 kwatt/hr. So my bill is not terrible.
