Litecoin mining difficulty

[ghostycc]

Hey guys,

I'm wondering if these third generation ASIC coming at end of Q4 this year will increase the difficulty.
Seems like a very few ASIC have been shipped this year and the difficulty wents up, but not like BTC at all.

Do you think it will increase that much with the new ASIC- scrypt coming  by the end of this year ?

Yes i think so.  Bitmain put out a pre-order (sigh) for december really cheap, so by december hash rate will go up like crazy again i think

Yes ASICs will become cheaper and difficulty will rise. I just hope that with higher difficulty also come higher price, but we will see what future brings us.

I guess the diff will go up like for BTC then maybe 5-20% ?

[sandpaper]

Network hashrate right now is around 750 GH I think. I would guess around 300 GH to be added by end of December. So about 20-25% increase in difficulty. This is just a guess though.

  dont forget KNC and GAW are coming next few weeks but no one know that will take off and Bitmain for Dec.

A lot of company is mass producing asic for scrypt right now, none of them is worth well as the difficulty is increasing like mad..

[crazyivan]

At least double by the end of this year.

I think the difficulty of Litecoin mining will rise. Difficulty of all established coins are rising.

Is it worth to buy antiminer L1? it is by far the cheapest pre-order right now on market..

[Equate]

KNC ,GAW , ZEUS , BITMAIN ... Pre-ordered Asics from these manufactures have not been released yet .... So difficulty will be touching the roof soon once market gets flooded with them and moreover , Asics will keep on improving withe respect to speed and power efficiency.

Yes as many people mine the difficulty will rise.The profit gain period is quite long while in litecoin mining hardware cost are too high compared to litecoin rate
