Re: PPS vs PPLNS for GPU Mining

CAP = BottleCaps... they are new.  I'm mining them right now because they are just as profitable (if not moreso) than LTC and FTC at the moment... and I'm a Fallout franchise junkie Tongue

All three are relatively the same, but you can go to this site and it will give you a breakdown.  Not sure how accurate it all is, but from my own experience, CAP > FTC > LTC right now.  That could change.

http://dustcoin.com/

With my rig, I get around 1 LTC or 40 FTC or 200 CAP a day.

Per Cryptsy.com
1 LTC = 0.03448900 BTC
1 FTC = 0.00096998 BTC * 40 = 0.0387992 BTC
1 CAP = 0.00017443* BTC * 200 = 0.034886 BTC

* this was at 0.0002 earlier today and is volatile... FTC and LTC are more stable as CAP is about 2 weeks old.

Conversely, I can mine ~0.015 BTC a day... so it's definitely more worth it to mine alt-coins and trade them for BTC if you aren't mining with an ASIC.

I'd point the GPUs to LTC/FTC/CAP and just mine BTC with the USB.

You can exchange LTC/FTC/CAP on Cryptsy for BTC and you will end up with a larger return that way.



Thanks. I actually was considering doing LiteCoin with my GPUs because of some articles I read.

I assume LTC = LiteCoin, FTC  = FeatherCoin, CAP = Huh. Which of the three would you recommend?

Great breakdown. I'll probably continue until the weekend, do research, request payout and go from there.

Hello, I am new to mining and this forum.

I'd like to know the better option for mining. Basically I am doing casual GPU mining at a rate of roughly 600 MH/s with probably an additional 330 MH/s with the Erupter. Please don't state that buying the Erupter is a bad purchase because it was already bought LOL. I am trying to run this pretty consistently but like to stop it while I use the PC for regular use and gaming. The fans really bug me.

Anyways, I am using bfgminer with set temperatures to rest resulting in one GPU to rest quite often (not sure if this is relevant).

I know the basic difference between PPS and PPLNS but am wondering which would be a better option for my use.



Thank you brother freind

lol what?
