I think it's better to hop coins for the long-term investment. Ya never know. Do you think LTC miners ever imagined them being $4.5 a pop when they were mining in the early days?? ;-)
Yeap, I'm mining LTC on a PPS pool as a default (in case of pool problems,etc) but at the moment I've split my hash power 25% LKY, 50% BBQ, & 25% SXC. I've been playing with the daemon, so I moved my SXC mining on to a dedicated rig where I can start playing with php if the fancy takes me. If SXC ever reaches 0.00001 BTC on an exchange, I've done extremely well
I might move a rig onto DGC if the difficulty decreases, depending on how many coins I have of other sorts and if there is a really profitable coin, I might mine and dump.. You just have to stay flexible
When profitability goes down and miners hop off, I'm happy cos I'm getting more coins to hoard.
"Ya never know"...too true.
Also:
It looks like 2GMTA is back up.
http://sxc.p2pool.nl/chain/SexcoinI would suggest using theirs. As I said, mine is on a server that's a bit flaky.
I am keeping mine up for testing though.
If I do some messing around with php, I have been inspired in part by your work.. Though I'm no code monkey.. more of a cut and paste and follow the directions and tinker till it works or I get bored with it.. but I've been doing that since I first bought an Amstrad 64
