People are buying SHA-256 miners to mine other coins instead of btc. DEM, for instance was hot awhile ago and those mining it instead ROId fast as hell.

The payouts also are starting to get a bit smaller for us.

Optimally, we would at some point switch over to some (preferably) automated pool, mining altcoins for a higher gain than btc, which we really could keep doing for long after btc has dissappeared on the ASIC 20nm horizon.

What does the group think about this? What does Pido think? Does someone have deeper knowledge on this?
I only know Multipool takes SHA-256 -capacity and pays in alts, and that's it. Personally, I use middlecoin for my private small scrypt farm, but it is exclusively for scrypt mining.

Really, the alts will prosper along with btc in the 'Money 2.0' landscape. We might have the capacity to participate in even more profitable undertakings than now? Does someone know more? Maybe about pools or altcoins, automated exchanges like som pools use?

Speak up.
