Title: Been out of the loop since 2014, advice needed!
Post by: linklinklink on January 07, 2017, 07:45:24 PM
Hi everyone,

I've been out of the loop on Alt Currencies since 2014. My last endeavour was Monero in June 2014 but I was never able to acquire any coins from Monero Pools with my 7970 ghz for some reason. I was able to mine WorldCoin and Quark though, which are pretty much worthless now hahaha.

So now, after being told about Bitcoin in 2011 and passing it off as something that governments would step in and stop, then missing out on Monero by not sticking with it to figure out which pools to join to actually get some coins, I'm really kicking myself lol.  :'(


A few questions for those senior members who have been around since the beginning.

Is it too difficult today compared to 2014 to actually choose Alt Coins since there seems to be substantially more today?

Is it even worthwhile building a 4 card AMD rig given the extensive amount of Asic card mining that is happening in China? Is this even enough power anymore to mine coins?

How do you weed through all the Pump and Dump scams out there and identify something worth mining? (I'm not a Computer Science major but I have a technical background)


Thanks everyone, I really do appreciate your input.

Good coin yet to take off which looks very promising is bitbay. Has the first true decentralised mark the first cold staking wallet. Trustless double escrow smart contracts and will have another first in crypto. . A rolling peg

It will take off in the coming months and still cheap
