Just get RADEON GPUs or buy currency. Mining will require as much luck and timing as buying. Mining scrypt with anything else than Radeon GPUs now is a waste of time. It is nearly a waste of time to mine scrypt with Radeon GPUs already to without them it is really pointless. You would have to have excellent timing to start mining at a very low difficulty and if you are that lucky, it stands to reason that you would be equally lucky just buying coins instead.

I disagree with this. Of course if you mine something established then you are likely to be priced out by the competition. People pay for the security of mining an established coin. So yes if you mean litecoin, worldcoin, or feathercoin cpu mining or mining with a low level radeon is worthless, but there are dozens of coins, some with 1 or 2 difficulty, that you can reasonably get a decent number of coins for. If that coin takes off, you can make some money. If you were mining dogecoin, two weeks ago at 1 difficulty, you'd probably have made a few grand, even with a cpu.
