Latest Version: 0.13.3.7 is released! Aug 6 2017 Note: The roadmap has been completed. Segwit is activated. A new roadmap will be published soon.Styx will be pushed. 1 year, then you must be kinda wizard developer. Sounds a bit optimistic to me, as you are also working on a mining pool in parallel? How much time is spent on the. Welcome to Viacoin. The fast and flexible currency for the digital age. Viacoin whitepaper Roadmap 2017 (Finished. Roadmap 2018 will be released soon, styx to 2018) Viacoin SegWit Bitcoin. Fixing many issues from malleability all the way to scaling. Secured by cryptography & scrypt merged mining.

For solo mining with a single GTX 680, which will produce 120 Mhashes/s, you would expect to find one block approximately every 98 years. At the current difficulty, solo mining is inadvisable under practically all circumstances. Pooled mining should be done instead.

Furthermore, mining utilizing graphics cards is rapidly losing viability with the release of FPGA and ASIC-based mining hardware, which operates at far greater efficiency. Unless you have exceptionally cheap electricity or have a use for the heat output from the graphics card(s) (e.g. Heating your house for winter), graphics card mining is unlikely to be profitable for you. Additionally, mining with NVIDIA graphics cards has pretty much never been worthwhile, as they are far slower and less efficient than comparable ATI/AMD hardware, conflating the above issues with graphics card mining. How does it make sense to recommend buying mining hardware, when the whole argument against mining was based on profitability? Assuming you have to 'invest' a lot more than $1000 in hardware for this to make any real difference, when exactly do you think you will break even? Even if you would earn 0.50ct/day continuously - you'll need over 5 years (!) before you make ANY profit.

Better recommendation might be to take that $1000 and buy your bitcoins straight out. It'll give you at least 2 right now - technically - they may be worth a lot more in 5 years. – May 2 '16 at 9:31.
