Best to look at the prices of coins on an exchange,then find a small pool with stats of miners showing how much coin each mhs or khs makes per day & do the math..............
My scrypt mining is from way back to so guess that is why I turned there.
I just think a lot of people got burned that were supporters of altcoins. When the A2's cameout it was a massive price, and they dropped so fast it was hard to believe once price was dropping.
Only way you ROI'ed was if you were lucky on timing and also rented it getting huge markups. I will admit I was very lucky to make it in this category.
At this point I suggest to most to go BTC way of mining and just buy altcoins if you want them. Mining them is pretty hard as difficulty rise, rewards drop on scrypt coins yet no new gen miners. It's a equation that does not work out.
