Hello, I was wondering If I should try and get into mining litecoin and whatever, yet 1. I don't fully understand how it works 2.Could I actually gain money off this?

 

So, I'm wondering what people use the coins for and if they actually think it's worth it, please show some examples of what you have gotten or can get with coins?

You can trade them in for money and buy some stuff online i mine litecoins and then trade them for bitcoin and then trade that for paypal. For how it works i am not sure about that completly.

770, I was going to SLI It sometime, I have $240 currently, so I'd need about 120 more.

Mining on a 770 might not be worth it its really not great on my 770 but the 7970 i have mines great. Nvidia cards are not that good for mining amd cards are great for it.

Okay, but can you tell me a good graphics card to get+ how much I might be earning and stuff.

Get something Like an R9 280X.

 

One of those will make about $100 per month. But probably less due to how fast difficulty is increasing.

Shit... That does not seem worth it at all.... BYE MINING cya later.

Yea,it isn't worth it unless you got into mining a while ago, when the difficulty was way lower and the price of cards was nearly $150 cheaper. 

 

Take me for example, I started mining 2-3 months ago. I initially got 7x R9 280X's, 3 R9 290's, and 1 HD 6850 that was laying around. That stuff is close to paying itself already.

Wow, well, I don't mind it that much anyway, but good luck to you.
