[quote=“masterOfDisaster, post:27, topic:2281”]The script seems to do fine. My expectations were wrong, though. The numbers of PPC and BTC I expected from my ASIC miner were based on a calculation with 1 TH/s.
Unfortunately my miner is slower
The numbers for the ASIC miner are close to 60% of what I’d expect, so they pass not only the plausibilty check, but seem to be quite correct as well!
And it is quite obvious that it’s more efficient to mine an scrypt coin (until more scryt ASICS arrive…) with a GPU than to mine BTC.
Not bad, not bad…
And now you know why my GPU rig is off and my ASIC mines BTC
…this way I have to calculate with roughly 5 USD electricity costs per day (which could buy me 2.x PPC), but receive more than 8 PPC per day by trading the mined BTC for PPC.
Hooray!
Thanks for verifying what I’ve calculated

Glad to hear it was of help … It’s better to keep an eye on it though cause profitablity is changing over time. That’s why i’m creating this monitoring script after all.
[quote=“ppcman, post:28, topic:2281”]I’d love to get a copy of that script if you’re still offering. Either by PM or posting here, either or…
I’m always wanting to find the best way to mine other coins to buy PPC…[/quote]
It’s still prototype. Though functional and the math is correct, it’s poorly coded and could be better optimized and prepared to be used as a universal script for comparing profitablity for any coin not just PPC. I’m planning on cleaning it up and posting the source maybe on github. Keep an eye for a post on it. I’m hoping to have time the next couple of weeks to try and integrate it to make auto transactions as well or maybe make it on the side as so the switching between BTC, LTC, and PPC is done automatically. I’m a lazy so we’ll see what happens.
[quote=“irritant, post:29, topic:2281”]good stuff, only thing i want to mention, there are other algorithms than sha and scrypt, which protoshares and the likes use, or primecoin, metiscoin, probably a bit complicated to take that into account tho, because different miners for different gpus and different power consumptions etc etc, but great stuff anyway
edit: actually they are comparing NRS and XPM profitability now: "nrs 0.005684 BTC / day / per Mhs xpm 0.0087 BTC / day / per Mhs " [/quote]
I wanted to add Primecoin to the script but i didn’t feel it was on par with the other coins at the moment in terms of PPC profitability. I hope to have more time and will look integrating it as well.
I’ve updated the script today to include comparison with the SCRYPT-N algorthim used in Vertcoin… It looks like vertcoin is what i’ll be mining these days. Here is the analysis based on my hashing power:
PLease enter your SHA256 (BTC, PPC) hashing power in Ghash/s: .023
PLease enter your SCRYPT (LTC) hashing power in Mhash/s: .07
PLease enter your SCRYPT-N (VTC) hashing power in Mhash/s: .035

I’ll be mining VTC , selling it for BTC, and buying PPC
