NVC is doing a lot better the Litecoin at the moment
https://btc-e.com/exchange/nvc_usd

$3.98 for NVC
$2.36 for LTC

EDIT: (At time of writing)

Yep and check the diff on NVC you could mine 4 or 5 times more other coins in the time it took you to mine 1 NVC.

Just off the top of my head, but you could probable mine 3 or 4 ltc in the time it would take you to mine 1 NVC coin.

^^ Agree.

You won't be able to recover the cost of buying GPUs but if you have already got them then that is a different matter. You may be able to sell them for a decent price if they are still desired by gamers.

With the current price of scrypt coins only miners with the cheapest electricity can make more than the power costs. This causes some to drop out and the difficulty to go down. If prices go up, more miners come back in and difficulty goes up. It's a self regulating system that means it's never going to make much for you unless you have free power (I mean solar etc. not stealing it from your workplace or landlord).

I switched my last 5850 off a couple of weeks ago, but the weather has turned cold and an extra 150w heater is welcome, this one provides a little coin as well as heat, so I turned it back on.

It depends when you bought the gpus. Of course, if you just bought them recently, you will struggle hard just to break even. Most miners have been mining litecoin and before that bitcoin with their cards. I myself paid off my cards in late 2011 with rather small profit margins back then (meaning selling 1 BTC for 5 bucks, ouch). People have been discussing the end of gpu mining for years now. I'm surprised it's still around. Maybe there will be a tiny gpu revival if primecoins can be mined via gpu. Or if litecoin indeed some day reaches double digits. Otherwise I'd guess less and less miners will (be able to) keep it up, perhaps a small minority might continue no matter what. So, unless prices shoot up like crazy I'm planning a slow exit strategy for the next 6 months. 5870 collectors' items anyone?

Did we loose about a third of our hashing power for scrypt when the coin value dropped? Always remember port 7777 being at upper 900MHs. Now always in the 600s

JR

We've lost around 150MH or so in the past couple weeks. We were generally only over 900 while mining some coins that already had a decent amount of dedicated miners.

Not sure if it's people going back to dedicated LTC (or other coin) mining, or people shutting down their GPUs because it's not profitable anymore.

I'm not sure how it was ever profitable. Maybe way back. I do not pay for electricity and am still struggling to break even on my $1k worth of cards let alone be profitable. For me just worth having the cards keep mining in the hopes to break even. Scrypt is worth half or less what it used to be, but BTC has doubled, so can get the same amount back for selling .5 BTC as I used to for 1 BTC. To me it seems to be a wash from today and before some Chinese company said they will take BTC as payment and now all of a sudden BTC is through the roof. Still never quite understood why that was something we should all consider this big of a deal. Accepting as a legit currency is nice, but swinging the dial that far?

Pools are back up. I gotta take my kid trick or treating, so I won't be able to fix the website until later.

Have a good trick or treat. For reference the pools are not working. Nothing connecting.

currently mining
dgc

If I lower Intensity to 12 it will stop the HW rising but sets hash rate to 400. I used to have it running over 600, its a 7950

From my experience with SHA256. HWs should never go about 2%, I'll assume the same to be true for all crypto-coins. If it is something's wrong; most likely thermal issues.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/consolidated-litecoin-mining-guide-for-5xxx-6xxx-and-7xxx-gpus-117221

It's for LTC, but should help fix other scrypt-based coins.
