I just calculated the math on PhenixCoin (vs ltc) profitability.
It is about (almost) 200%, if you are selling your coins at 17 LTC/1K PXC.
This is really profitable for miners, and buyers are eating it up, because of the coin's potential.
The difficulty is about 4.84
LTC difficulty is 558
558/4.84 = so theoretically you should find 115 PXC blocks at the same rate you'd find 1 LTC block.
115 PXC blocks = 5750 PXC.
5.75 PXC x 17 LTC / 1K PXC = 97 LTC
Once LTC difficulty rises in 12 hours, PXC will gain even more profitability.
This is a great solution for solo miners also, you also remove risk of longer rounds of badluck with a smaller difficulty.
Just some interesting numbers for you guys.
