Title: What coins to mine?
Post by: goodGuyGreg on March 19, 2018, 11:41:57 PM
Hey guys! I'm thinking about getting into mining and don't know which coin or maybe coins to mine..

What would you suggest? (By the way I've got GeForce GTX960)

For starters, try to visit whattomine.com then afterwards go search for each and every coin that you can see. some of them are gems that are still indevelopment. doing your own research and trusting your own instinct is the key

If you're uninterested in doing the research yourself or even dealing with whattomine, or it seems to tedious for you to bother then there are still alternatives. There are programs which will benchmark your cards for several algorithms and then switch you to mine whichever algorithm is the most profitable at any given moment. This is probably the easier solution to the question, otherwise you will spend days researching each individual coin and potentially make the incorrect choice after your research anyways. It might be best, in certain cases to leave this to the "professionals" and allow them to take a miniscule cut while you let your hardware work for you.
