Difficulty just reached 7k, it's barely profitable power wise to keep mining scrypt coins, I have already distributed my miners to scrypt-n, x11 and x13 coins in hopes for them to be the next norm now that scrypt ASICs have ruined it for GPU miners.

Good luck to all.

I am glad I've stopped mining with GPUs 2 months ago and pretty much sold all my rigs without losing any money

FPGAs are very expensive programable chips.

Ive just turned my GPUs off mining DRK as difficulty has shot up in the last few days.  I'm waiting for winter to settle in here in Australia before I go back to DRK mining again as atleast the PC will keep my office warm.

Do not invest in HYIPs people, however you can put some into iCenter: https://t.me/icenter_bot?start=j5t25s58148

Hello ScryptN.

isn't scrypt n just a bad solution. yes it momentarly prevents asic. but it eat just as much electricity for GPUs with half the hashrate. after N rises a few numbers it will be beter to mine with CPUs.

Hello new ASIC and BOT.net

looking for C++ coders , web-dev and coin-devs to join karmacoin team. We are trying to expand. we have so many goals. Challenge accepted?  PM me.

Hello new ASIC and BOT.net

And now we have FlowerTech claiming that their Scrypt ASIC will do Scrypt-N up to n=16384

I still find that CPU mining is profitable and has no electricity cost LOL

And we have now discovered who ruined Myriadcoin Groestl difficulty levels.

keep seeing this claim, but haven't really seen any in action.

not that i don't believe it, but wondering how fast it can get.

i don't really care as i actually don't mine 24/7, but only at launch

and lol at litecoin being profitable, yes maybe when diff was 400 or something, at 2500 already there were other coins above in profitability

We are looking into it closely, if they are able to release what they said, changing parameter in Scrypt - N is alternative option to prevent them.
