this isn't obvious
The main problem are multipool and them, they don't even look at the price and dump all the time.
(although it is ok for good coins where there is buy support, it prevents any grows of smaller coin).
Here is the problem.
And even though they aren't profitable to small miner, small miners who don't want to do their homework (meaning researching coins) jump on that and kill as well the market.

The other thing: sell walls   Grin Just watch for fun on any coins, any exchanges all the small miners dumping at low price just to sell their dust before a whale (or a clever investor)... yeah small miner keep their coins until they start acting like morons on exchange...  Grin

I guess I'm one of the few who is still profitably mining using GPUs.  My little farm is covering 200% of its electrical costs at $.125 per KW/H as of 11/30 with BTC/USD calculated at $345.  The farm reached full ROI as of about 8 months ago, so anything above cost is a win to me. 

No private kernels - everything I've done code-wise is available.  I would not recommend anyone putting one together now though - chances of ROI with a new GPU rig is not looking good.

Same question. I think the profit is marginal.

Multicle Scrypt-Chacha coins - YACoin, Ultracoin, (was YBCoin and Cachecoin).  The trick is to have low power GPUs with lots of memory - check my post history for all the details (granted, you're almost a year late to this train).  Profitability for this month is down, but I'll cover electricity for the month at the 2.5 week mark instead of the two week mark.

Would like to know this too, profit has dropped again on December so I guess its break even now?

So maybe you should start mining on Lyra2RE, which is a custom implementation of Lyra2 made by the Vertcoin team. Remember, as soon as a Lyre2RE asics come out, they will swap again. You can rely on that.

ASIC resistance won't matter if GPU mining profits keep on sinking down.

i checked that new algo, and vertcoin is still un-profitable even with it, there is just not enough interest in it, no matter the algo, based on that lyre2re asic won't come out anytime soon

The dumping is relentless. Mining VTC is not profitable at al for most miners. Maybe some miners have free electricity.

Does anyone remember that link to the site that showed which coins to mine with a GPU rig?

Yeah VTC was very profitable in the first 6 hours but now its a crap-shoot. The price fell so much before I could sell.

so why sell ? You understand that you are just making it even more unprofitable (and not the other way around...)   Roll Eyes

asic was able to rape vtc, without much depreciation and a bunch of gpu miners can't keep their coins more than hour...  and complain it isn't profitable...
"so unprofitable... lets dump " right...

The problem is really the miners not the coins/algo/electricity bill

Not really, a lot of people mine cause they still have positive profit (cheap electricity). So its not profitable for you I guess?

I sold VTC because looking at the weekly chart, it does nothing but go down. Just like any other currency out there.

Asics are borring. Impossible to Roi. Gpu's are advancing. Donate some beers, and we upgrade the performance Smiley.  Klaus_t and me just gave you Vtc +12% more hash for Nvidia. @github. In Software....

Don't the $100.00 USB 500GH/s and NIC $350.00 TH/s configurations on ebay make expensive graphics accelerators obsolete in mining?

I have faith that one day this forum will get threads where people won't just repeat their previous posts or what others have already stated in the same thread. Also that people will stop acting like BTC is toy-money and start holding vendors accountable. Naive? Maybe.

Only with free electricity, if you pay it, you lose money

Be careful.
