isnt it better to mine a more profitable coin ATM and then sell it for mints?
what benefit would it be to mine these at these difficulties?
looking at calcs, I can get 30% more mint mining vertcoins and selling for btc and buying mint.
That's what I understood too (plus mintcoin is deliverately very hard to mine toward the end - first week was mining galore).
I am trying to sell my cagecoin at 2 satoshi now (+100% increase), but so much people have the same idea... I'm considering abandonning it and moving to blackcoin (I like PoS).
