Holy shit, getting 2.7MH/s on a single r9 290 overclocked to 1100/1300, cruising at 62°C AND IT'S SILENT!!! Shocked

And save energy 40% Grin

It's far less profitable than ScryptN coins like Spain or Roto, but goddammit I love the silence, the lower power consumption and the lack of heat! Grin

It's actually about the same right now. Right now you get about 0.01btc/mhs/day (based on scrypt speeds) mining hiro. Which is +/- 5% what you get with scrypt N.

Besides I am one of those that SCRYPT N killed GPUs. So X11 is where I'm at even if it's -5% and not +5%.

You also need to take into account the electricity bills when you do your ROI calculation. And spending 2x less on energy on X11 makes a huge difference, unless you are one of the lucky ones who gets free electricity.

If you have a 5x 280x rig that consumes 1300 watts on scrypt-N, that you live in a country where you pay .17cts per KWH, your daily cost is US$ 5.3. If you make 0.007 per mghs, then you get 0.02555 BTC day (US$14.8 at current BTC prices) - your net margin is then 9.5 or 64%. Now, mine with x11, and assuming you are generating the same amount of BTC per mghs, you pay $2.65 in electricity, make 12.15 or 84% net margin! The higher the price of electricity, the more you should mine X11.

In that example (which is my case), mining X11 gives you an extra 31% profit

I believe market forces will tend to reduce those extra USD's when X11 gets more noticed. Let's wait and see, but for now, I know where I'm putting my cards
