I know Paul, you've had hard luck with almost every single internet fad that's happened for the past 30 years.

50 LTC (~$1700) in a week?!

Right, look up mining calculators but you'll probably need in the order of 20,000KH/s to generate that in a week, so you wouldn't ideally go down the GPU mining route (you'd need ~15 x 7990's, or double 7970's) rather you'd use FPGA units - a 4000KH/s unit is ~$4500 each, so $22K/£14k.

Edit - Actually, you're probably look at 14/15000KH/s (if you go by this, litecoinpool.org/calc); so £8/9K in hardware.

Christ. That's some investment. However. 10k in hardware would mean you could mine enough coins to pay that back in 7 weeks!!

If you could mine 1 block a month. That would be an awesome little bonus. I can see why there's a lot of people doing it.

£10k in hardware but you're square in 7 weeks.

That's 20 people at 500 quid.

Theres a twin 7990 custom rig on eBay. £1600.

That would allow around 2200kh/s.

Based on the calculator. You could return around £800 a month. Two months and it's returned your investment. That's if the price stays the same. If it goes up its great. But could plummet.

I can't believe on eBay. You can pay per hour for people to mine for you.

Unless the bubble bursts and the market drops, of course.

That's exactly what would happen if you bought £10k in hardware today. I don't buy the stories about 'nice to have a chunk to pay towards the mortgage'. That chunk is tiny if you are making thousands a week from it, why would you sell it instead of just waiting a couple of weeks.

Power consumption is your main issue with GPU mining; 7990's are around 300-350w at load. Only real advantage is resale value, so if the arse falls through the market then you can at least make something back on the hardware.

You need to factor in the increasing difficultly level and the market price of LTC though.

Apart from the difficulty keeps rising, so in 7 weeks the hardware won't be able to mine as much as it can now. I've heard of people buying hardware and then by the time it was delivered it was basically useless due to the ever increasing mining difficulty.
