Title: What to mine?
Post by: MrPlazu on June 18, 2016, 05:53:26 PM
I have 2 X AntMiner S3+. I'm looking for a new coin to mine. Preferably a new coin who got potential to become worth something in the long run.

Any suggestions?

hmm, that is an SAH256 rig so you are a little bit limited to mine a coin directly.
Are you looking to mine and hold, or mine and exchange to BTC?

Picking the best coin to mine is not an easy task and many factors go into the decision.
  A site like http://www.coinwarz.com/ (http://www.coinwarz.com/) can be a starting point to help you decide.

I like some of the Auto-Exchange pools like https://miningpoolhub.com (https://miningpoolhub.com) or http://www.zpool.ca/ (http://www.zpool.ca/)
  An added advantage with http://www.zpool.ca/ (http://www.zpool.ca/) is that you can get paid out in any coin they mine, as long as it is active in the pool.
  For instance, you could send them SHA256 hash and get paid in a coin that is Scrypt.
As always, read the pools page and check out their bitcointalk page and/or their IRC channel before making a commitment.

Thanks for your answer. It was the same conclusion I came to. But I just wanted to see if any one had another suggestion
