I wanna say some positive things about Kyrpton on the mining side.
I've been mining it for 24 hours now and think it's almost as profitable as mining any coin, but with a lot more potential.
I've dedicated only 3 video cards to it: 2x R9 280X and 1x R7 370. My average hashrate is somewhere between 55-65. It's varying quite a bit, but I've noticed that memory overclock on gpu affects the hashrate of Krypton a LOT, which is great. With Krypton, you notice a huge increase on ethminer immediately when you overclock memory, but on Ethereum, it doesn't change at all.
In 24 hours, I mined 145 Krypton. Taking 145 @ 0.0006000 satoshi, that's about 0.087 BTC = $4.82.
Not too shabby? I might point more to the pools soon.
So if anyone's wondering if mining Krypton is profitable, yes, it damn right is when you factor in how many you're getting per day and the potential for it to rise drastically.
So you lost money by mining it instead of ETH. Unless the price doubles or triples, not worth mining because supply is low.
Not even close to needing to double or triple.
Mining Ethereum would only yield at most $4.70 based on calculations at whattomine.com and from real experience, I only got $4.65 on average for the past 4 days mining with these 3 cards to test.
So if KR went up only 35%, I'd already be making a profit. The gamble I'm willing to take, believing that KR will double it's value once more miners get involved and once covertress starts making appearances at these conferences.
Different strokes for different folks
