After couple of days mining for Litecoin with my i7 system, although not overclocking or using all 100% of the CPU, but enough to get me paid with a few Litecoin LTC, I believe as of today 100 Litecoin = 1 Bitcoin, I have a long way to go to mine 1 BTC lol.
But – I got two video cards 7970 getting ready to start benchmark and then start to mine Litecoin first to see if it’s more profitable than mining BTC directly. Some people said it’s more profitable mining Litecoin then exchange it to Bitcoin, then watch it grow or fall and exchange for USD as needed LOL. If I make any BTC it will be an investment to see if the BTC will rise to $100, but need to pay close attention to the market news and stuff, if it’s getting dangerous need to sell right away.
