The hash rate blows my mind at 275,000,000 GH/s. Litecoin's hash rate is at just under 1,000,000 MH/s equaling roughly 1/275,000 of the bitcoin hash rate. Why is the price discrepancy not greater? Wouldn't it be more profitable to mine LTC and trade it for bitcoin? What am I missing here?
Comparing the hashrate of SHA256 and Scrypt is pointless. You need to compare the cost of generating the hashrate.
