Can someone create some new-currency-hopper-pool? I would love to point my rig to one pool that automatically mines the newest coin out there. So we wouldn't need to check forum 4x a day, installing new untrusted clients and setup miner in time-press... We would just check the pool once a month to see those new currencies and our new coins...
I would accept big fees to compensate pool operator's work...
I don't think any softwares can switch from sha256 to scrypt so it would limiit you to half the coins
At the current rate, even for Litecoin, the average time is well over 100 days to find a block, so unless you have a very high powered graphics farm and ASIC together at the same time, I'd say to go for Pool mining.
yes, that is 100 days if the difficulty stayed the same , but it will go up, so in reality it is impossbile to solo now
With an open air case and riser cables you should be able to bring those temps down considerably. Also get a kill-a-watt! You might be able to borrow one from the library if you dont want to buy one, most cities have energy conservation plans and lend them out.
yes, kilowatts are great, everyone should get one (they are cheap)
