Bitcoin is the best, resisted to time.
Ethereum tried to beat it, but couldn't and I don't think any alt will ever do this, now they offer POS(Proof of Ownership Stake) which may make it less worth.
Dogecoin has a great community and its value has gone up and down quite some time until now, only max by 50 satoshi raise being 120 satoshi as maximum price i remember.

Both these currencies are good, personally only use Bitcoin as my main coin and DOGE sometimes. I don't use Ethereum yet.

Better mine ethereum, its the most profitable coin if you get a nice rig 1200-1500 USD.

Bitcoin all day everyday.
Doge is a joke and always will be.
ETH has yet to proven itself.

What are you asking? Your English is very poor... My guess is, you are asking " What coin will be the most profitable to mine? " Is that correct? Bitcoin will be the least profitable, if you are going to try

to solo mine it. These days, Bitcoin mining is done mostly by large mining pools and data farms. The other two, could possibly be your best bet, but I am not sure about Ethereum, because I never

tried it. The other two Alt coins are much smaller and with less volume. How much are you willing to invest in this?  ::)

you shouldn't even use these three together in one sentence :)

bitcoin is best to use as a reliable investment and also if you want to use it as currency and pay for stuff with bitcoin. but you can't mine it.

ethereum is only hype and if you can catch the pump before happening you can make a good profit. you can mine this.

doge is just a joke coin with a nice community but the coin doesn't really have any real value. i think you can mine it, not sure.

of the coins, I guess I still maintain my bitcoin as an option. I guess the only good doge and ETH made in the coin trade, but bitcoin is not only made in the tools of trade, but also very much an open business for bitcoin

I'm not an expert in terms of mining, but the two alts you've named should be much much easier to mine for an individual than Bitcoin.
But Bitcoin is the boss!Therefore if I would have to choose which of those coins I would like to own, I would always go for Bitcoin!No doubt!!

My understanding is that it's still posible to make a profit from mining ETH with your own equipment. The same can't be said for BTC. DOGE is a joke as others have said. With the current price levels, it may also be possible to make a profit from mining DASH.

Mine the Ether, dump for BTC. And Dogecoin, is that even a thing anymore?

Bitcoin for now is not profitable but if the price after block halving will still stay bitcoin will be profitable and this is i think the best to mine.. but if not ethereum still the best according to other member said.. doge never experience yet to mine it..

Mine ethereum dump at once, buy BTC long! or take a chance with any altcoin you think might jump soon, if you interested in doge better look at LTC its true scrypt coin and doge is merge mined with LTC, only way for doge to go up is for LTC to triple first!

At this point, Doge is nothing more than a "merge mine it while mining LiteCoin with ASIC gear" coin.\
It's days as a coin worth mining for itself ended quite a while back.


 Bitcoin - I'd wait for either the S9 price to drop a LOT, or competition to show up at a more reasonable price point (which will probably CAUSE the S9 price to drop for competative reasons).
 Don't even think about trying to mine BitCoin with anything but an ASIC, and unless your power is FREE don't bother even looking at anything before the S7/Avalon6/B-Eleven generation units, or long SLOW shot if you get a REAL good deal on an S5 or SP20 generation unit (nothing else is likely to last long enough to achieve ROI even on FREE electric).


 Ethereum - if you have existing hardware that can mine it, do so - if you don't, it's VERY iffy you'll achieve ROI. If you have computer systems with unused PCI-E slots AND enough power, you might be able to achieve ROI if you go with used GPU cards to add to such a system - but it's STILL kinda iffy unless you get a good ETH mining card quite cheap, with the rate that difficulty has been increasing the last couple of months.

I agree with this. The difficulty is rising too fast. It doubles every two months. So if the price does not increase, there will be no ROI.

none, there are more profitable cons at the moment, not even etheruem is the most profitable anymore

And just exactly what coin it more profitable to mine than Ethereum right now?

 (I am aware of a few that are getting semi-close with the drop in Ethereum profitability due largely to the increase in diff, but NOT aware of any that are MORE profitable).

you need a private kernel or even the one that was released public from nicehash, then just point at lyra2v2, they are on par with eteruem now, with the recent 100% boost for nvidia
