Title: Newbie miner help
Post by: WinCognito on November 19, 2017, 08:12:43 PM
Hi guys

I am very new to mining, I have been doing a lot of reading and videos on youtube. Still not quite convinced about mining for a newbie.
I have some questions, would be great if you could answer them all. Really Appreciate your support

Is it still profitable to mine, I understand profitabilty depends on the price of the coin and coin price may go up in future. I see some youtubers are bit negative about starting mining now.
Should i buy a Nvidia and RX Vega? or a mix of both?
What coins are profitable now? Mining monero , eth are still profitable?

is it always better to mine in a pool? is solo mining even worth attempting?



Any help would be great. Thanks

If you are looking to mine with graphics cards you can learning about mining ethereum and monero because best suggesting option to every altcoin miners.
You please don't mix both the cards in mining rig. If you want to mine the coins go with the same variant whether it is nvidia or radeon r7 but go with one only.
About mining you no need to adding bat file and other works. Please download the nice hash mining software from their site. It will do all the work simplified.
