Yeah I tend to agree with that last statement citronik... but one new-ish wrinkle is Electroneum. Right now it is 2x more profitable to mine than XMR...
a note of caution...these are theoretical numbers because ETN is only trading on ONE exchange (Cryptopia or something-never heard about it before) PLUS it is not even fully released yet PLUS the CEO is not a technical guy, who keeps talking about hackers and how they were swooning on him.
Anyway, my biggest beef with etn is that none of the pools are able to stand straight for several days. They keep popping in and out for at least several hours at the time. The french one was out during at least part of the weekend, for example; now I don't see the hashparty, etc, etc.
yes - wasted a whole day of hash yesterday - BTG and ETN while good for miners since its GPU mine-able -- I think they need to get their act together - pools are shiatzs - dont get me started on the wallets.... go download the ETN one on Playstore or Appstore.... its non existent - LOL why launch if there is no official wallet?

what do you mean no wallet lol? they have an excellent paper wallet that you create by moving your mouse around then you get a bright and shiny PDF with your #s lol. Joking of course... I do agree it certainly wasn't a seemless launch but we'll see what happens. I really just wanted to a change up to the $20/day for the last 2 months. May get burned if ETN blows up but to me the possible upside is worth the minor risk of not mining $20 of XMR per day. Time will tell.
Yeah, I did the paper wallet PDF thing and also another ETN address from Coinomi.... but after reading more on ETN, their crown jewels is the mobile wallet, mobile mining etc.... but dang the product is not even out yet. And yet mining has started? Something is amiss here.
