Title: New user Post by: psmuk69 on December 04, 2013, 02:21:13 PM Hi there all
thought I would introduce myself, looking at all these different coins etc can get a little confusing. I have a i7 with 16gigs ram dell XPS at home, and at work I have 2 i5's available to me. What would you recommend I mine with that hardware specification? Thanks psmuk69 Title: Re: New user Post by: Leahcim on December 04, 2013, 02:40:42 PM Hi,
as fas as i understood the whole topic is using a i5 or i7 waste of money. The way to go seems to be a a sic miner, they do the job much faster and with less power consumption than a desktop computer. Bye Michael Title: Re: New user Post by: psmuk69 on December 04, 2013, 02:56:53 PM Hi Michael
Thanks for the reply, the computers at work are on all the time doing very little anyway, so thought I may as well put them to use Was thinking about an Asic for the computer at home But what coins would people recommend I mine for?

Thanks psmuk69 Hey, and welcome to the community! Always nice to see new faces. With those CPU's you could mine CPU-only coins like Quarkcoin, Protoshares, Primecoin and Securecoin to name a few. Just use the forum search for CPU only coin and i'm sure you will find a lot. Make sure the coin you mine is on an exchange so you can cash them in.

If your going the ASIC route, it all depends on how much power your gonna buy. I, for example, have about 4GHS, so I go on sites like Coinwarz (http://coinwarz.com) to calculate the profitability of the coins with my hardware. Great site, I have it in my bookmark bar. --GoR-- Title: Re: New user Post by: uk1 on December 04, 2013, 05:01:21 PM Hello, I suggest you read https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177133.0
