Post by: almightyruler on May 20, 2013, 08:13:55 AM If you don't already know of it, http://www.coinchoose.com/ may help you decide. Do be aware that the profitability can change drastically, shuffling the participants around. It's really a "here and now" ranking rather than being based on long term figures (either past or projected)
I actually went back to mining BTC a few days ago (after a long hiatus) because nothing on coinchoose could beat it. Title: Re: Which coin should I mine to start with as a beginner? Post by: umairsaleem003 on May 20, 2013, 08:21:52 AM Try powercoin. Visit powercoin.net

It's really a "here and now" ranking rather than being based on long term figures (either past or projected) If the plan is to hold the coins, then I think bitcoin is the only reasonable choice. The more of these alt coins keep coming up, the less likely it is that any of them have any long term value.I actually went back to mining BTC a few days ago (after a long hiatus) because nothing on coinchoose could beat it.

Title: Re: Which coin should I mine to start with as a beginner? Post by: bearpig on May 23, 2013, 06:49:48 PM I've had some success mining Litecoin, but I'd agree with the above - bitcoin mining is probably going to be easiest route into mining coin.
Title: Re: Which coin should I mine to start with as a beginner? Post by: Inglewood on May 23, 2013, 06:50:23 PM LTC, FTC and Bloocoin also has potential I think
Title: Re: Which coin should I mine to start with as a beginner? Post by: neurobox on May 23, 2013, 08:28:03 PM BTC is the best. If you mine with a pool like deepbit, you can expect stability and steady rewards (though payouts can take 36hrs to clear). If you have at least a radeon 5700 or nvidia card, BTC is the way. I've tried LTC and FTC, but the pools don't seem to work out for me, and you have to fine tune for scrypt hashing. You might do well with radeon and windows vista or newer with the altcoins, but keep in mind that exchanges can have hefty withdrawal fees.
Title: Re: Which coin should I mine to start with as a beginner? Post by: acs26 on May 23, 2013, 08:29:49 PM Any AltCoin, plus BTC. You should try LTC as the AltCoin so you can earn money on the side. But any coin is okay.

Title: Re: Which coin should I mine to start with as a beginner? Post by: trumbadera on May 23, 2013, 08:53:03 PM If your starting then BTC is easiest to set up. I found it is harder to set my GPU with scrypt mining required for most of the altcoins to make highest khash/s out of my GPU.

Title: Re: Which coin should I mine to start with as a beginner? Post by: bobbix on May 23, 2013, 09:03:57 PM if you mine the coin where everyone else is you will not see real profit for some time, all imho
Title: Re: Which coin should I mine to start with as a beginner? Post by: mb on May 23, 2013, 09:31:08 PM I tried Litecoin with my GPU but that apparently requires some tuning at which I seem to fail. Even my CPU has higher hash rates than my 5770?!
Problem with mining is the low reward you get. Mining on new altcoins gets you much more coins, but they are useless as long as they don't take off. And how will they take off if nobody cares about yet another altcoin? If only I started mining a few months back, when it was easy to mine... I'd be filthy rich now :-P Title: Re: Which coin should I mine to start with as a beginner? Post by: ink55 on May 23, 2013, 11:09:44 PM same for me
Title: Re: Which coin should I mine to start with as a beginner? Post by: alani123 on May 23, 2013, 11:50:00 PM What about bqc? :P
Title: Re: Which coin should I mine to start with as a beginner? Post by: jmbinfo on May 23, 2013, 11:53:15 PM Something you can exchange at a popular market like BTC-E.com. So, my vote is LTC.
Title: Re: Which coin should I mine to start with as a beginner? Post by: kevindeangelis on May 23, 2013, 11:58:07 PM I'm new to mining and recently started looking into hardware and such and I had the same question. I started doing a little research and couldn't find any site helpful in terms of coin values... so, I set up a site (well, more like a single page) which I published yesterday:
http://www.WhereToMine.com (http://www.WhereToMine.com) Basically, you select your currency (USD, AUS, etc), enter your hashrate, and then click Calculate. It will show the # of coins/day and estimated $/day that you would make for each type of coin (BTC, LTC, FTC, etc.) Let me know if you find it helpful... I'm totally open to opinions on it. Thanks!
