^^
What hardware are you running, now?

2 7970s @ 800 kh ea
1 7950 @ 680 kh
1 5850 @ 350 kh

was running a 6850 @ 200kh but its just not worth it to run anymore.

the 7970s are just OCed a little bit, i wanted them up asap. will tweek them more later

how much litecoins do u guys have

exactly 1039.22135997 LTC

If it hits BTC price i'll be rich!!

^^ HOLY SHIT how long have u been farming?

Major pump and dumps today for TRC and NMC. I figure it's due to the market being relatively boring the last two days.

on and off since last summer. cashed most of it for 20$

I sold my BTC for LTC when it was $0.07 so i got them cheap

Wish I started this sooner lol. Ah well

mining difficulty went up again

what BTC wallet do you guys use?

if i'm just buying BTC to sell for LTC do i need a BTC wallet still or can i just transfer them straight from CAvirtex to BTC-e?

I use blockchain and back it up to an encrypted file whenever I get a deposit

Bitcoin Block Explorer - Blockchain.info

?

Yup get your wallet here

https://blockchain.info/wallet/

Just back it up, in case the site goes down or whatever. You can always restore the backup yourself using the bitcoin client

How important is RAM and CPU compared to a GPU for litecoin mining operations?

I'm able to pick up an old computer with a Q6600 but only 2GB of RAM for dirt cheap (100 AUD). If I pick up say a 6950 and stick it in would that be good enough or would it have serious bottlenecking issues?

LTC mining is heavily RAM dependent, but if you are mining with a GPU, it's the GPU RAM that matters.

I have seen people write otherwise, but I don't think it is true. I have never seen the client use much system ram at all, and I have 32GB in my system.

I made moved my 7870 to a Sempron 3000+ with 4GB RAM, and I achieve the same numbers compared to being installed with an i5 2500k with 8GB RAM.

2x 7950's coming on Thursday

pair of 6870s for 300 dollars... yay or nay?

edit: actually screw it, I'm only here for another 6 months and then I'll be in HK and then I'll build a rig there... for now i'll just mine with my gaming rig at home...

difficulty will be way up in a couple months. Now or never!

just saw this on Reddit:

Remember guys - ANY currency can be volatile, especially with cryptocurrencies that don't really "come" from anywhere. Play it safe and don't dump everything into it!

Starting with almost nothing, I made almost $500,000 gambling with Bitcoin. I then lost it all in about 60 seconds. I am now $50k in debt and will most likely lose my job, my visa status, my fiancee. AMA. : IAmA

I was going to say exactly what the top post said - this is an AMA about gambling addiction, not bitcoin.

But yes, putting money into bitcoin or any investment is like gambling. So don't gamble more than you can afford to lose. Don't try to use it to get out of debt, for instance.

Does anyone want to buy BTC or LTCs?

Please PM me as I'm looking to pull out of cryptos.

using guiminer, i get 20kh/s, WTF?! somethings really wrong

3770K
16GB ram
GTX580, have a 7970 waiting to go in

theres no way the gtx580 can mine at 20kh/s

nvidia cards are bad at mining i hear. Wait for your 7970?

But if you should be getting higher, I usually just restart my video card and that fixes most problems

alright so I'll be picking up at XFX 7950 tomorrow for $200, along with an old PC with a 700w PSU and some ram for $150.
(keep in mind that I don't need to worry about power consumption since... I get it for free haha)

can i expect this setup to maybe pump up 500 or so khash?
is that number realistic? if it is how many coins can I expect to pump out a week?
(Computer has 2GB DDR2, Athlon X2 CPU of sorts, and currently running a 8600GT)

With my rig - i7 6500, 16gb ram, 2gb 6950 and 650w PSU I'm getting consistent 450 hash rate
