I've considered turning things off at times, but that's because crypto is low at the moment. The amount of coins you are getting are the same or maybe a touch higher as people bow out....I've seen LCC go from ~18 a day up to ~22 a day at the moment as people tried and then switched as the coin dropped in value. I'm grabbing coins as fast as I can as the market can easily move....I mean if LCC goes back to $7 rather than the $3 it is now, i'll have been making $154 a day where as it's just $66....And who knows maybe in a year they'll be worth $20 and i'll have earnt $440 a day.....The price *NOW* is on only relative to if you sold them now and since we can't it's more or less an arbitrary number!
With my GPU rig i've swapped ~monthly to a different coin to grab what I can BCH, Electronium and Trezzar coin. At the time they all did well, but with the crash, less so....however all the coins looked interesting and they'll probably go back up and beyond given time. I find I switch coin and often algorithms every month or so to a coin that's performing better and one that has a reasonable return of coins....Thinking Pirl or Musicoin next on that basis, Ether may be performing marginally better, but it's such a slog for a minimal percentage of ETH that means it has to *REALLY* do well versus some of the lower value coins that only need a small shift to return big!
