Some people have reported making a killing on it, especially in our current market

Well, that's the rub. People *have* been making a killing mining this coin because it is not easy nor obvious how to multi-gpu mine it. I understand difficulty has shot up because of guides and better help on Reddit about the multigpu issue.

Fairly clear guide on multi-gpu setup that gathers a lot of Reddit info.
Please don't take my post as financial advice, because it isn't. I have no idea of where this coin will go over the next six months.
