How does one calculate the profitability for a coin?

1

Given, a coin has difficulty 'd', an exchange rate 'x'/BTC or 'X'/USD, and given that my hardware can do 'y' MH/s (scrypt), how would I determine the best coin that I could mine? Do I need to consider any other factors?

Um, pick the one that maximizes x*y/d.Nate Eldredge 2014-09-22T04:03:51.287

I don't really see how this question is "too broad". Both Nick and Nate gave a valid answer in just a sentence. (Which would make good answers.)Murch 2014-10-04T08:41:21.077
