how much a 970 is doing with x11 on the last version? 10k?
Who is mining X11 today?
huge numbers of miners mining x11 ...
why?

Everybody's on ethereum, decred etc...plus high hash, asics...not much profitable
that is true ...
but profitability isnt the only reason people mine ( like myself ) ...
which is why when the question was posed - the answer really is 'look at the hashrates for x11 coins' ...
its huge - regardless of profitability ...
and now the public release ( though private miners had these things for ages apparently ) of the x11 asic machines - this will only increase in hashrate ...
this is the reason why there is a toss up between staying with x11 on granite - or changing it to another algo ( quark was the main one i had in mind ) ...
but soon enough - most of these algos will go asic / fpga ...
asics / fpga are not always a bad thing ... it just depends on the projects goal ...
PoW is crucial ( or at least - some sort of mining ) for block chain security and stability ...
profitability - meh ...

Profitability meh, huh... Why do I see you skulking around on the decred pools then?
Go mine some Feathercoin. ^^
i am
...
feathercoin ( after i stopped mining litecoin ) is one of my favourite coins ... soft spot for that one also ...
blackcoin is another - along with a few other smaller coins ...
what? you think ALL of thefarm is in decred? ...
... how small do you think thefarm and farmamd is? ...
this year - im aiming at growing thefarm to new heights ... the equivalent of 7gh on x11 - which will mean most of the other algos will be huge also ... thats the aim - whether it gets reached is another story - but im definitely going to try ...
decred is a nice coin to mine ... same with eth - but i just cannot get the compilation sorted properly on fedora 23 x64 ... otherwise ubuntu is a simple install - but the changeover is a major undertaking from me in the farms ... while eth IS more 'profitable' - i mine all the other coins i like ... and mine for others also when the time and / or need arises ... my way of donation ...
so if your assumption is purely that im lying about the 'meh' statement - then wouldnt you think i would already have changed the ENTIRE farm across to ubuntu ( which have repos that have ready built miners in ) AND brought farmamd ( 25 x gigabyte 7970 oc and 280x oc ) back into existence ... had it all been about the profitability? ...
instead - farmamd is packed up and ready for the my next move to larger premises - and thefarm ( all gigabyte 750ti oc lp cards ) are mining various coins all over while currently being dismantled slowly for the move also ...
so yes bensam ... profitability - meh! ...
ill play with ubuntu and eth when i move in the next few weeks - and when the farms are up and running again a few weeks after that ... which means ill be offline in that period of time also ...
another point to ponder ... i have granite ... what do you think im going to do with the growth and development of granite when i accumulate enough ( enough = my own opinion ) coin everywhere else? ...
im a hoarder of coin - so sue me
