1. Who is still doing it and what hashrate are you getting?
2. Any advice on what pool I should join or what mining software I should use, etc?
I just ordered my mining gear for $2000..... am I making a huge mistake?
please respond
1. I am approx. 110-120MHs
2. I mine at several different pools to distribute the hash rate.
My favorites (in order) = coinotron.com, p2pool.org, litecoinpool.org, litebonk.com
Is it a mistake. Depends. Are you trying to get rich quick? Is so yes, it will suck as much as it will be fun. Are you in for the long haul and plan to add on? If you can handle the frustration, electrical cost, the endless tweeking, and times when you can't turn a profit then it will get better.
