Why? Are people really that butthurt after the chinks pumped and dumped litecoin all those years ago? I've been mining for over a year on my R9 390s, now I've got 5 480s running and happy as fuck at how much money they've made. Haven't sold any Ethereum or Zcash, yet.

Been mining with my current desktop cards for quite a while now, but I would like to get something like this going again like back in 2013.
