RE: LCC is a BUST?

Thanks for the kind comment.

I originally tried to to mine with GPU/CPU on a Mac, just to see how it would work. Mac's are notoriously problematic for mining and it didn't go well. I used MacMiner and BFG Miner on several pools, with limited success. See my article "Testing LCC mining pools" here:
https://steemit.com/litecoincash/@googoomuck/testing-lcc-mining-pools

So, I decided to cheat. I had some BTC in my Nicehash wallet so, I bought a mining contract. The contract cost about $150 so, I paid about $1/LCC. After that. I was finally able to get an acct. on TradeSatoshi where I sold them for about $1.10. However, after transfer fees and TS's HIGH withdrawal fees, I barely broke even. Probably lost money, really.

More to your question. There just does not seem to be an accurate LCC hash rate calculator out there, yet. However, if you go to https://p2p-a.minelcc.net/ you can see at what speed people are mining and how much LCC they are getting. So far, this is the "best" of the mining sites that I've tested, but with limited success with my Mac.

And while my long answer to your short question is probably not an actual answer, it's the closest I can get. LCC and mining it is, well, a mine field of uncertainty (pardon the pun). This coin may turn around in the future, but for now, there are more problems, costs, and frustration in dealing with it than rewards. If you are a very experienced miner, which I am not, you might be able to unravel this Gordian Knot and do very well.

Please come back and share your experiences. I think the more eyes we have on this the better. And maybe, LCC can be a good thing in the long run. Although, I have my doubts at the moment.
Best of mining!
