The Litecoin Mining Blog

Extra big-ass list of mining performance stats for all sorts of GPU/CPUs.

Why mine Litecoins?  Well, basically because I missed out on the whole Bitcoin mining rush and I see Litecoin as the second best option for investing in the cryptocurrency sector.  It seems like a new "cryptocoin" pops up every week and you may be asking yourself how many digital currencies can actually coexist.  Honestly, i have no damn clue but I am fairly confident that there will be atleast 2; Bitcoins and Litecoins that will get along just fine for the foreseeable future.  I guess I should define my idea of "foreseeable" as the next 8-12 months because that's really the extent of time that I plan on being able to mine ltc at a profit.  Investing in tlc mining is a gamble albeit not a real big one.  Worse case scenario; I resell my rig components, loose a few hundred bucks due to depreciation, and chock the whole thing up to being young and a bit too dumb.  That's not going to happen though (probably?).  If all goes as planned I'll be turning a profit in 3 months or less at current exchange rates.  Most likely less.  Litecoins have only started to gain traction in the last 60 days or so and their value has been showing a nice upward trend since.  I don't see the value of ltc exploding like we saw happen with bitcoin, but that's ok.  I'm not in it to make millions.  Hell, i'd be pretty excited over a hundred bucks really.

Have any questions?  I most likely don't have an answer but please ask away anyhow.  I'll keep this blog updated with my project progress and helpful links when I stumble across them.
