My question is this
CM mines the most profitable coin in comparison to LTC, right?
So say LTC is paying 0.007 BTC/MH per day then CM will look for a better coin to mine to exceed that said 0.007 BTC?
So why the hell when no coin is available with a higher payout % doesn't CM just mine LTC instead of dropping the payout to something like 40% of LTC?
Am I missing the absolute obvious? Please shine some light, I would be so grateful, many thanks.
Of course we mine LTC always when there are no more profitable coins and/or we put some portion of our hashrate into LTC if more profitable coins can't handle all our hashrate. Your question was answered numerous times and the best answers are probably these two:
