A new more efficient litecoin miner will be marketed very soon. So your ROI time could be longer.

I need to 'split' more of these deals on ebay with paypal and credit card protection ..and yeah they mine full out and they were NEW Titan Nov 2014 units....(really!)

Even the 'supposed' dead cube works....

Got to be corporation who pulled these for the class action and losing is my 'only' explanation...the guy in question did not seem to know zip ...probably just told

by a biz/corp to move it ..so they can recoup their lawyers (1.5k non refundable on loss) and the 3.5k plus is paid to knc for claims/legal fees cause they win.

I mean I hear 'rumors' that knc is going thru the individual cases in Swedish Class action with Judge one by one on the class action (how it is done in Sweden) and winning...and this 'pops up' seems damn likely imho. The timing seems right. Also heard of another few cubes going 1 x 1 recently too ..same kinda thing...new and unused but parted out.

Have not have anyone fess up that they got took by KNC and lawyers for an extra 5k or so......yet To confirm such  that is.... but then again I'd probably not confess to 'losing'
another 5k to KNC on the loss like this either.

Anyway this may go down as my best ever deal lifetime for eBay score EVER!   Again this was split with a buddy. I got one of the 2 (new) Titans for $1,750 usd
(not like it is a big secret ...from eBay sold link..for everyone to see.......but then again still kinda shocked it was not a box of rocks   

Pays to be dumb and lucky sometimes (its a skill) And you got to love that credit card and PayPal protection on eBay....even if it had turned out to be a 'box of rocks'

I spent £2k on one recently, seems a good investment, I will ROI in 6 months with the hashrate it is giving me.

It cost more to mine the PoW coins than the PoS coin, so miners will not sell below their mining cost.

PoW can maintain the price more than the PoS. So they should let the PoW continue after most of the GPU cards do not work.

Depends I'd guess on WHEN they are going to go to a POS coin. Any info on when that may be (hints by ethereum devs/etc)

me...if I was them I'd let this pow hype for for 12 months more plus ...seems to work for them

(have zip in ethereum ..ie missed boat) Just commenting from the 'Bleachers')

So for Ethereum mining, it is better to sell the 280x or early cards and buy the 390 or later graphics cards.

For my 7970, the hash rate drops every DAG file change. For my R9 390 and Nano, the hash rate is the same.

i think he mean hashrate, with 2gb you have very low hash now on those old cards, not worth it, and if the hash is lower the consumtion remain high so it's bad

Efficiency doesn't change whether its 2GB/3GB/4GB/8GB.

You can mine Etheruem with the 7950. It is not very efficient as it has only 3GB video memory. But it still works.

no lol scrypt is doomed for gpu the same as sha and now x11 , but not completely, better to focus on ethereum and similar or quark, but the 7950 have only 3g so it may suffer a bit on ethereum

Any recommendations for 4x7950 rig?

Last time I mined was in April 2013. Should I still stick with Scrypt coins?

Also KNC Titan(s) are still doing great with LTC. But it is a hard 'Unicorn Hunt' to find one at a price that makes any sense. With halving coming up that makes also such
purchases at current Ebay prices 'iffy' imho also

Etherium makes sense yet for a kinda 'hobby miner' ie at the end of it all and if you convert Ethereum to BTC  ..you likely "yet"

would get your card paid for ..for mining it 4 or more months (or look at it as less and a discount on your GPU card)

anyway bout it now imho

So far, the Etheruem is the most profitable usually. some times, an altcoin will be pumped, it is more profitable.

After reading the comments, looks like Ethereum is the best one for now.

Ethereum gives me constant cash flow. It is profitable for now. But its difficulty is rising fast. It might not be profitable for me in the future.

i'm trying to mine something else, like loco for now it may be profitable with a pump, ethereum is still the perfect choice for miners, i don't know why more don't mine ethereum, because is the most profitable yet

Do you did that without the using of any software and is it profitable?

Yea sometimes if the price pumps but most days you only earn maybe half what you would in ether.  Ether profit is shrinking daily but its still the most profitable followed up by decred and probably dgb or feathercoin.  I wish the market was better but there is just so much competition  even shitcoins are mined to death in hopes of those riches.  Altho shitcoin mining CAN pan out if it is shitty enough few want to mine it then you can dump when it hits the exchange.  I did that with darklisk and made 5 times what I would mining ether during the time period I mined it.

What is the next big altcoin?  Well which altcoin has the most potential to succeed that is asic resistant.  

My crystal ball is broken
