Title: Query Post by: Ace765 on February 04, 2016, 06:49:49 AM My computer is ASIC*86 based PC and it has AMD Athlon(tm) 64 processor 3000+ . I want to know what coins I can mine with this PC. Means it's hard to earn bitcoin now so i wanna mine another coins like digital cook, lite coin etc. I tried using cgminer, bfgminer etc. Means by referring to some videos. Anyone please reply to my answer....
Title: Re: Query Post by: altcoinhosting on February 04, 2016, 06:57:08 AM What kind of graphics card does your computer have?
If it's a good one, you can mine GPU coins (ethereum for example). If it's a bad one, you should stick to CPU minable coins (magicoin for example) Don't expect to make a lot of money mining this way! you'll probably pay more for the electricity and the damage done to your PC then you'll make from selling the coins!

Indeed GPU = graphic card. If you don't think you have one, it's probably an onboard GPU, which is almost useless for altcoin mining. It's possible to mine tough, you can search this forum for CPU minable coins... There are plenty of threads where users ask which coins they can mine with their CPU ;) I personally mined magicoin for a while. It was decent, but i still made less than the power cost and the damage to my PC. |
