I know EK is awesome

Yes. My gf has bougth an 840 evo 1tb and gets 1066mb read 1021mb write. (It because of rapid. Ram is stupid fast) 

11% difficulty increase for LTC and theres still 2 days left until the difficulty adjusts D:

However prices are going up so mine on! 

long run? no.. the coin is a joke

NO OMG NO! Spread the hash! That stupid pool has a huge percentage of the entire market and that's bad

The pool hashrate is FAR from correct...

Oh come FUCKING ON!
We can't just keep inventig freakin currencies. It's fucking ridiculous.

you never know becaus it might be worth 100 dollar tomorow but it will probebly gain value in a few days 

I hate that freaking dog haha. But still mined a few hundred thousand just in case. But alas back to something that is sure to last and isn't just a fad on reddit, litecoin.

Anyone who was wanting to pick up a 7950/7970/280X but couldn't, watch ebay for people who are in despair selling their mining equipment. I might pick up a couple if they become abundant and cheap enough

With the recent hype surrounding Litecoin, a lot of new miners and a lot more hashing power has been added to the network.
While the enthusiasm is great, the distribution of Hashing power is not looking to good. It's important to prevent one pool from acquiring a large % of the network.
 
You can view estimates of each known pool and their respective amount of the network.

A lot of new comers are joining up with WeMineLTC due to them being a large pool with a nice feature set. The amount which they are ahead of other pools is a bit concerning. Reaching over 30% of the network recently. if a bad actor were to launch an attack using that pool. There was a forum post regarding this same issue a week ago. I am bringing this up again as it continues to need attention. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/84312-psa-try-and-use-other-mining-pools-in-place-of-wwwwemineltccom-they-are-near-25-of-the-network-hash-rate/
 
 
To help divide the hashrate at least on this forum, I have a few dozen invites readily available for https://www.liteguardian.com/secure/ An Invite only pool. Liteguardian is a low fee 2% PPS pool great for part time and full time miners alike.
If you would like an invite, I will require an email address to send the invite to. Please send me a PM with an email. Don't expose your email in public forums unless you like to be target of spam bots hehe.
 
 
 
 

Using http://www.gyft.com/ you can get 3% off Amazon, and many other gift cards when paying with Bitcoin. Exchange your Litecoin to Bitcoin, then use the Bitcoins to buy from Gyft. They don't accept Litecoin directly, you can message and request them to add support for it. Support for Litecoin purchases will only happen as more people want to use it.
 
In short, using Gyft and Bitcoins together gives you 3% off everything.

Another option would be to USE the currency. There is no need to exchange directly for fiat, instead look for an option to exchange the coins for goods/services.
 
Here's a small site with a few business's that accept Bitcoin. If a certain place doesn't accept Litecoin directly, the liquidity of the market you can exchange Litecoin for Bitcoin almost instantly.
http://www.coinmap.org/ (Site is still gaining attention, many merchants that accept Crypto-Currencies have not added themselves)
 
Sites which accept Bitcoin
https://www.spendbitcoins.com/places/
 
https://www.bitcoinstore.com/

www.mine-litecoin.com

convert to btc then withdraw to virwox's exchange and withdraw via paypal

I would recommend trading for Bitcoin and use that method. 
With Ltc https://www.ltcasics.com/   with Btc http://www.gyft.com/

I'm in about the same boat, the mining rig i'm building will probably just run till something dies, then I'll replace it and it'll run some more. Now if only newegg would ship the parts and get the other parts I need back in stock

Hopefully, and by that time who knows, I might be running a respectable mining farm out of my parents guest bedroom

That's the beauty of coin mining. It's self regulated difficulty adjustments make it so mining always remains at least somewhat profitable. If mining becomes unprofitable a lot of miners leave, the difficulty then adjusts downward making it profitable again If none of the miners leave and the difficulty remains high. The miners then become reluctant to sell their coins at a loss and hold, which decreases liquidity supply, but leaves demand at the same. The price then increases to compensate.
 
There's always next generation hardware just on the horizon to help increase efficiency as well.

Keep in mind, that the price has stayed roughly the same while the difficulty has increased 30% in the past 6 days. Mining profitability will continue to decline unless price per coin increases to maintain a steady ratio. Any calculator you use to check profits are only valid for a max of 3 days, as the difficulty adjusts every 3 days. With recent interest and everyone seeming to be building a miner difficulty will continue to increase and lower daily earnings substantially.

I'm not saying mining wont be profitable, but it likely wont stay at this high of raw profit, the difficulty will increase to close the gap. It might be worthwhile to split your investment between mining hardware and purchasing coins directly.

If I felt like cutting a bunch of pvc I totally would haha but I'm gonna be doing this over my Christmas vacation so I'm gonna be lazy as f*** after this long semester haha I'll stick to drilling a couple holes in a crate but hell if you wanna cut and send me one I wouldn't mine (<<

I thought about building mine out of PVC pipe. Make it look something like the InWin D-frame

Direct yourself to this post I made yesterday for this guy....
