Title: How to choose the best crypto-currency
Post by: guich on June 23, 2013, 08:19:00 PM
Hi all,

I'm new here, and i just tried to mine a few weeks ago. I got an ATI Radeon HD 6950 2 Go, and it gave me 280 Kh/s with cgminer (mining feathercoins), and around 320 Mh/s with bitminter.
My cgminer file config :
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.give-me-ftc.com:3333 -u ***** -p ****** -g 1 --thread-concurrency 8192 --shaders 1408 --intensity 13 --worksize 256 --vectors 1

So i got a few questions :

- With my actual setup, which cryptocurrency may i choose to have the best profitability ? BTC, LTC, FTC, RYC or other one ?

- Is merge mining BTC & NMC worth it ?

- Do pool mining always better than solo mining with slow setup ?

Thanks for your attention,
Bye
Guich

Hello, check out some mining sites to help decide which currency to mine based on your hardware:

Also yes with slower hardware it is generally better to use a pool.

Good luck.

You should consider the khashs and difficulty.
If the bitcoins aren't profitable then you should stick with your current crypto-currencies.
Maybe you should mine some low difficulty currencies to catch some value :)
