So essentially, GPU minining will be a thing of the past, and it will be ASICs all the way. Doing the math, it would still take a large ASIC rig to have enough GH/s to justify it in the very near future at that rate. I just don't see how there could be an increase in difficulty at that rate for a sustained amount of time. Doing some research I think there will be a large jump then it will return to a more normal pattern after about 6-10 months of rapid increase.

This was posted in another thread, and it got me thinking about difficulty and how often it increases and by how much. Obviously this is an unknown, but from everyone's experience (and I know I am posting in a newbie board, but surely someone has some insight), do those numbers seem legit? Specifically the .16 decrease in BTC mined every 12 days?

Looking through the feature list of bfgMiner, it looks like it has scrypt support. So do I just add the LTC pool like the BTC pools I added?

It's a AMD 7770. Right now I am using bfgMiner, and am not afraid of CLIs. I do like the realtime data that it gives and all the options for fallback pools etc. Is there something like that for LTC?

Hmmmm...So what do I need to do to get up and running on LTC mining? (BTW I am doing GPU mining at around 200 MH/s)

I have been thinking on the same topic for a few days now (which is really the extent of my bitcoin thinking alltogether). I have debated back and forth on weather to mine Litecoin or Bitcoin. Right now I am mining Bitcoin, only because it is more mainstream. I am thinking about moving over, any suggestions on any changes I will need to make if I do make the transition?
