Your speeds are on par with similar hardware just like the others have pointed out. A little to late to the party though..

so it is not worth spending money on upgrading my rig?
i won't earn any money?
is that what you are saying?
and the price of btc is droping
what would you advise

Ask yourself what coin will be worth more in the future and mine it.

Vertcoin or other ASIC-proof coins.

Unless you're going to upgrade your rig for gaming, rather spend the money on buying some coin directly. Even if you have free power, it's almost impossible to mine anything of value... with the exception perhaps of Vertcoin or other ASIC-proof coins.

I wonder how reliable whattomine and coinwarz are. Could some of the most profitable coins be listed as such due to an error in the readings? Also, say I coin moves into the top 3. How quickly will the pools jump on it? Do you have to be glued to your computer all day quickly switching between different coin pools?

how do you know witch new coins to mine
i use coinwarz, wheretomine, and minetips but it allways shows the same coins

at the launch of micro coin i started to mine and have 500000 coins but the value is too low

You can also use clevermine or wafflepool and let them do that work for you. You will receive BTC instead.

i have visited the site but as i have only 2mh/s i get 1.78 euro it isn't prifitabe

You can try using nicehash.com at the moment they pay 0.0057BTC/MH/DAY

If I started to mine it was all so simple - my little rig gave me 4 - 6 VTC/day and I was very happy

Then difficulti start to rise and I got 3, then 2 and finally 1,5 VTC... stopped to mine.

Since then I have mined tons of coins and tried to sell those tiny amounts in different market pumps, crazy work for pennies or what Grin

There are hard times right now:

(sorry CleverMining, your stats are just a sample - situation is same everywhere... or even worse)

I personally think, that it will not go up anymore... maybe shortly, but in long term probably not.

So, my question: is GPU hobby-mining dead? Or are still some options to earn a little bit??!

I have tried some new coins too (EFL, NLG, KMC right now) but I don't know, is it ethical and right way to spread hash that way for those probably worthless coins...

Post your full config.

what do you mean full config
i use guiminer-scrypt_win32_binaries_v0.05
windows 7 ultimate
i am using msi afterburner with this setings
grafic card 1 290: core 980 memory 1499 / thread currency 32765/ worksize 512/ vectors 1/ gpu threads 1/ intensity 20 tempoerature 85
grafic car 2 280x: core 1049 memory 1500 / thread currency 8192/ worksize 256/ vectors 1/ gpu threads 2/ intensity 13 temperature 65

you should look into using other mining programs... start with cgminer... guiminer is for people who dont like money

just have the problem to know what coin to mine this month

There is no simple answer to that. Lots of folks are getting out of scrypt and moving to ASIC resistant algo like scrypt-n, or low power algo like X11.

Check coinwarz.com and whatmine.com for some data.

Hello,

Mother board: Gigabyte 970 a-ud3p
cpu: amd athlon II x2 270
Memory: 8gb
psu: evga 1000g2 supernova 80 gold
grafic card 1: GV-R929OC-4GD-GA
grafic card 2: GV-R928XOC-3GD
hdd: 2.5 sata 80 gb

But i can only get 859 kh/s with the 290 and get only 721 with the 280x
am i doing some thing wrong
i am using msi afterburner with this setings
grafic card 1 290: core 980 memory 1499
grafic car 2 280x: core 1049 memory 1500

i read that the 290 can get 890 kh/s and the 280x 760 kh/s what am i doing wrong i can't get more than the values i put above

Your on par with most other miners. Just make sure you cooling for the GPU are good.

Those speeds are good enough. You shouldn't push it so hard.
