I just converted one of my ETH rigs (R9 390s x 5) to mine XMR (Monero).
Its trading at 13++$ vs ETH 11.6$
I did this mainly to push my ROI faster... and since XMR is hot now.
Incidently, Claymore also has XMR miner... he just updated to v9.5 that supports all the new GPUs including RX400 GPUs and also Cryptonight / XMR mining at Nicehash and other pools. The Nicehash one pays directly to BTC. I tried Dwarfpool XMR and it can mine direct into my Poloniex account. From there, I just sell XMR to the open market and get BTCs.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7129653I was thinking the same but once the diffcuity levels out would it better than ether?
A lot of poeple are moving after the price jump.
if you see the latest diff on ETH.... OMG... its crazy... it takes much much longer now to mine a decent amount of ETH.
I think its also harder to mine XMR, my strongest GPU the 390.... only gets 650-680h/s per GPU.
So lessons learnt from ETH circa 2015, if you are early miner in XMR, you will probably get some extras first before the crowd arrives. Also.... there isnt a good NVIDIA miner for XMR (the last one was dates 2014 and out of date).... in fact the only GPU miner that has been refreshed is currently Claymore's.... so diff levels will probably come from AMD miners and not the other half of the world
This is true amd is driving up the diffcuity.
But as of now that the xmr roller coaster ride is over it's settled around .019 btc same as eth.
I have around 128mhs on eth so I'm looking at 300ish before power
And on xmr I have 3800hs which is around 300ish before power
The kicker is claymores dual miner with eth. Siacoin pays my power bill.
But like you said those that mined xmr before hit the jackpot as far as alt-coins go.
