So I've been thinking:
X11 is cooler, consumes about 40% less electricity. Should be very important for all GPU miners (or almost all of them).
So why all X11 coins are not profitable to mine?
What is your opinion?
X11 is not as "profitable" as if you directed those same cards to something like N-scrypt; however it has alot of advantages that make it worth it. For me, I am stuck in a small 1 bedroom apartment with 3 machines that have 6 cards in them each so i HAVE to mine something cooler for summer. otherwise ill have to cut down so much that i would earn less mining less scypt/n-scrypt coins. I also believe, even with the current rise in DRK value, that DRK is extremely undervalued for the actual improvements that come along with DRK. VTC/DOGE don't add anything new technologically to the scene so they don't actually add anything usefull to the CC community.
so it depends on what your goal is. Mine is to mine a coin that actually furthers advancement in the CC world AND wont burn me alive in the summer AND will only cost me up to 10% of what i could get with N-scrypt.
DRK does that for me (for now). Will it still be the same in a month? I have no idea. Sure id rather earn 1.4 BTC equiv a month with VTC but i would rather earn 1-1.2 BTC equiv and not burn alive in my apartment.
