I have been trying to find a good alt to mine. Any suggestions? |

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Nothing but 4 mhs and but I am still on the profit side with gpu. Besides I mine with the future in mind, not the present.
And this folks, is how you win in this game. |

Anybody take the plunge and preordered from Flower Technology? $329 for a 10 mh/s? Wow! And it mines scrypt N too? Wow!
Sure, they're credible. The site is a $9.95/month shared server and is Wordpress based LOL https://www.flowertechnology.com/wp-login~BCX~ Hahaha, the 3D renders look like they were drawn in MS Paint....not the new one, the one that came with windows 98 |

Yep, VTC for now.
I'd avoid X11 unless you use a FPGA

We need to put out minds together and make something innovative and life changing. Most alt-coins are going no where though some do
Then you have coins that are scam coins from the start.

Who's using FPGAs for X11 ? yeh i'd be interested in that too! i dont get why X11/DRK wouldnt be a coin of preference if moving away from scrypt? especially with the northern hemisphere summer coming. |

Who's using FPGAs for X11 ? I doubt anyone is now--at least not with old Bitcoin hardware. You'd need a very large and expensive FPGA to do X11 in one chip, or an array linked together for serialized hashing. The most common type used for Bitcoin had 150K logic cells and only held 2 or 3 SHA256 engines per chip. |
I see the value of Bitcoin, so I don't worry about the price...

In the 200% increase in difficulty in less than 2 months. |

In the 200% increase in difficulty in less than 2 months. I am asking for a site which shows network hashrate, dificulty for multiple coins. It should be fun watching these numbers/graphs in incoming days/weeks. |

Can't wait to see all the Litecoin clones get 51% attacked starting with feathercoin and ending with dogecoin. The next 6 months will be exciting.

Any suggestions? byt411 recommended something very interesting to me. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=595255.msg6545548#msg6545548Mine the best coin out of all coins, the pool switches to best coin, in return you get BTC in your wallet. I'm doing a 24hr test see hout it come out too. http://coinshift.com/ |

LTC can be easily 51%, the reason that the difficulty hasn't reached 20,000 is because it wouldn't make sense for the current people (whoever they are) that are mining with ASICs to put more machines in there because they would simply be competing against themselves. |

Goodbye GPU mining in general. I'm skeptical if you could create a new coin, just using a non-asic (yet) algo and make it a success. Dogecoin was a fluke, that aside- everything else just doesn't look like worth the effort compared to improving bitcoin itself.
Primecoin maybe? Protein folding coin?
I'd say check out monero. It's got a new codebase--not a bitcoin clone. |
